Inertial manifolds and normal hyperbolicity

Our aim in this article is to derive an existence theorem of inertial manifolds for fairly general equations with a self-adjoint or nonself-adjoint linear operator in a Banach space setting. A sharp form of the spectral gap condition is given. Many other properties are proven including an interesting characterization of the inertial manifold and the normal hyperbolicity of the inertial manifold.     

Cauchy problems of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations

This paper concerns with the Cauchy problems of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations. After establishing the necessary existence, uniqueness and comparison principle for mild solutions, which are also classical ones provided that the initial data are appropriately smooth, we investigate large time behavior of solutions. It is shown that there still exist the critical global existence exponent and the critical Fujita exponent for pseudo-parabolic equations and that these two critical exponents are consistent with the corresponding semilinear heat equations.

Discrete inertial manifolds

This work is devoted to attractive invariant manifolds for nonautonomous difference equations, occurring in the discretization theory for evolution equations. Such invariant sets provide a discrete counterpart to inertial manifolds of dissipative FDEs and evolutionary PDEs. We discuss their essential properties, like smoothness, the existence of an asymptotic phase, normal hyperbolicity and attractivity in a nonautonomous framework of pullback attraction. As application we show that inertial manifolds of the Allen–Cahn and complex Ginzburg–Landau equation persist under discretization. For the Ginzburg–Landau equation we can also estimate the dimension of the inertial manifold. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Dynamics of a conserved phase-field system

Recently, in Bonfoh [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. 2011;190:105–144], we investigated the dynamics of a nonconserved phase-field system whose singular limit is the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation. More precisely, we proved the existence of the global attractor, exponential attractors, and inertial manifolds and we showed their continuity with respect to a singular perturbation parameter. In the present paper, we extend most of these results to a conserved phase-field system whose singular limit is the nonviscous Cahn–Hilliard equation. These equations describe phase transition processes. Here, we give a direct proof of the existence of inertial manifolds that differs from our previous method that was based on introducing a change of variables and an auxiliary problem.     

The existence of large solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with negative exponents

In this work, we consider semilinear elliptic equations with boundary blow-up whose nonlinearities involve a negative exponent. Combining sub- and super-solution arguments, comparison principles and topological degree theory, we establish the existence of large solutions. Furthermore, we show the existence of a maximal large positive solution.     

Invariant manifolds for stochastic wave equations

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic wave equations with nonlinear multiplicative noise. We first show that these stochastic wave equations generate random dynamical systems (or stochastic flows) by transforming the stochastic wave equations to random wave equations through a stationary random homeomorphism. Then, we establish the existence of random invariant manifolds for the random wave equations. Due to the temperedness of the nonlinearity, we obtain only local invariant manifolds no matter how large the spectral gap is unlike the deterministic cases. Based on these random dynamical systems, we prove the existence of random invariant manifolds in a tempered neighborhood of an equilibrium. Finally, we show that the images of these invariant manifolds under the inverse stationary transformation give invariant manifolds for the stochastic wave equations.     

APPROXIMATION TO THE GLOBAL ATTRACTOR FOR A NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER EQUATION

Abstract. In the present paper, we deal with the long-time behavior of dissipative partial differenttial equations, and we construct the approximate inertial mardfolds for the nonlbaear Stringer equation with a zero order dlssipation. The order of approximation of these manlfolde to the global attractor is derived.     

Two-locus clines maintained by diffusion and recombination in a heterogeneous environment

We study existence and stability of stationary solutions of a system of semilinear parabolic partial differential equations that occurs in population genetics. It describes the evolution of gamete frequencies in a geographically structured population of migrating individuals in a bounded habitat. Fitness of individuals is determined additively by two recombining, diallelic genetic loci that are subject to spatially varying selection. Migration is modeled by diffusion. Of most interest are spatially non-constant stationary solutions, so-called clines. In a two-locus cline all four gametes are present in the population, i.e., it is an internal stationary solution. We provide conditions for existence and linear stability of a two-locus cline if recombination is either sufficiently weak or sufficiently strong relative to selection and diffusion. For strong recombination, we also prove uniqueness and global asymptotic stability. For arbitrary recombination, we determine the stability properties of the monomorphic equilibria, which represent fixation of a single gamete.

Hardy–Sobolev inequalities in half-space and some semilinear elliptic equations with singular coefficients

We study some semilinear elliptic equations with singular coefficients which relate to some Hardy–Sobolev inequalities. We obtain some existence results for these equations and give a theorem for prescribing the Palais–Smale sequence for these equations. Moreover, we find some interesting connections between these equations and some semilinear elliptic equations in hyperbolic space. Using these connections, we obtain many new results for these equations.     

Perturbation effects in nonlinear eigenvalue problems

We establish the complete bifurcation diagram for a class of nonlinear problems on the whole space. Our model corresponds to a class of semilinear elliptic equations with logistic type nonlinearity and absorption. Since this problem arises in population dynamics or in fishery or hunting management, we are interested only in situations allowing the existence of positive solutions. The proofs combine elliptic estimates with the method of sub- and super-solutions.     

Non-autonomous perturbation of autonomous semilinear differential equations: Continuity of local stable and unstable manifolds

In this paper we prove a result on lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors for dynamical systems given by semilinear differential equations in a Banach space. The situation considered is such that the perturbed dynamical system is non-autonomous whereas the limiting dynamical system is autonomous and has an attractor given as union of unstable manifold of hyperbolic equilibrium points. Starting with a semilinear autonomous equation with a hyperbolic equilibrium solution and introducing a very small non-autonomous perturbation we prove the existence of a hyperbolic global solution for the perturbed equation near this equilibrium. Then we prove that the local unstable and stable manifolds associated to them are given as graphs (roughness of dichotomy plays a fundamental role here). Moreover, we prove the continuity of this local unstable and stable manifolds with respect to the perturbation. With that result we conclude the lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors.     

INERTIAL MANIFOLDS FOR NONAUTONOMOUS SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH TIME DELAYS

The present paper deals with the long-time behavior of a class of nonautonomous retarded semilinear parabolic differential equations. When the time delays are small enough and the spectral gap conditions hold, the inertial manifolds of the nonautonomous retard parabolic equations are constructed by using the Lyapunov-Perron method.     

Global regularity for the 2D Boussinesq equations with partial viscosity terms

In this paper, we prove the global in time regularity for the 2D Boussinesq system with either the zero diffusivity or the zero viscosity. We also prove that as diffusivity (viscosity) tends to zero, the solutions of the fully viscous equations converge strongly to those of zero diffusion (viscosity) equations. Our result for the zero diffusion system, in particular, solves the Problem no. 3 posed by Moffatt in [R.L. Ricca, (Ed.), Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 2001, pp. 3-10].     

On the wave front solution of a competition–diffusion system in population dynamics

In this paper, we consider a competition–diffusion system of two equations [Zhou and Pao, Asymptotic behavior of a competition–diffusion system in population dynamics, Nonlinear Anal. 6 (11) (1982) 1163–1184]. The diffusion coefficients of the system are not equal. We prove existence of a wave front solution which connects two nonzero restpoints of the system. In the proof, we rely essentially on the results of Kolmogorov et al. [A study of diffusion with increase in the quantity of matter, and its application to a biological problem, Bull. Moscow State Univ. 17 (1937) 1–72]. We also estimate the wave speed.     

Hopf bifurcation of reaction-diffusion and Navier-Stokes equations under discretization

Summary. The long-time behaviour of numerical approximations to the solutions of a semilinear parabolic equation undergoing a Hopf bifurcation is studied in this paper. The framework includes reaction-diffusion and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. It is shown that the phase portrait of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation is correctly represented by Runge-Kutta time discretization. In particular, the bifurcation point and the Hopf orbits are approximated with higher order. A basic tool in the analysis is the reduction of the dynamics to a two-dimensional center manifold. A large portion of the paper is therefore concerned with studying center manifolds of the discretization. Received March 18, 1997 / Revised version received February 19, 1998     

Dirichlet problem for semilinear edge-degenerate elliptic equations with singular potential term

In this paper, we introduce weighted p-Sobolev spaces on manifolds with edge singularities. We give the proof for the corresponding edge type Sobolev inequality, Poincaré inequality and Hardy inequality. As an application of these inequalities, we prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for the Dirichlet problem of semilinear elliptic equations with singular potentials on manifolds with edge singularities.     

An inverse problem in population dynamics

The evolution of population densities of two interacting species in presence of diffusion phenomena is governed by a system of semilinear Volterra integrodifferential parabolic equations. In this system there are time convolution integrals, accounting for past history effects, which are essentially characterized by kernels depending on time only. These delay kernels can be viewed as entries of a 2x2 matrix K. The inverse problem of determining K via suitable population measurements is analyzed.     

Global existence,nonexistence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of semilinear heat equations

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of semilinear heat equations. By introducing a family of potential wells, we first prove the invariance of some sets and isolating solutions. Then we obtain a threshold result for the global existence and nonexistence of solutions. Finally we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the solution.
