Well-posedness and persistence properties for the Novikov equation

Recently, Novikov found a new integrable equation (we call it the Novikov equation in this paper), which has nonlinear terms that are cubic, rather than quadratic, and admits peaked soliton solutions (peakons). Firstly, we prove that the Cauchy problem for the Novikov equation is locally well-posed in the Besov spaces (which generalize the Sobolev spaces Hs) with the critical index . Then, well-posedness in Hs with , is also established by applying Kato's semigroup theory. Finally, we present two results on the persistence properties of the strong solution for the Novikov equation.     

The Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger-KdV system

In this paper we prove that in the general case (i.e. β not necessarily vanishing) the Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system is locally well-posed in , and if β=0 then it is locally well-posed in with . These results improve the corresponding results of Corcho and Linares (2007) [5]. Idea of the proof is to establish some bilinear and trilinear estimates in the space Gs×Fs, where Gs and Fs are dyadic Bourgain-type spaces related to the Schrödinger operator and the Airy operator , respectively, but with a modification on Fs in low frequency part of functions with a weaker structure related to the maximal function estimate of the Airy operator.

Well-posedness and ill-posedness for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation

In this paper we establish a new bilinear estimate in suitable Bourgain spaces by using a fundamental estimate on dyadic blocks for the Kawahara equation which was obtained by the [k;Z] multiplier norm method of Tao (2001) [2]; then the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a fifth-order shallow water wave equation in with is obtained by the Fourier restriction norm method. And some ill-posedness in with is derived from a general principle of Bejenaru and Tao.

In this paper, we consider the stability to the global large solutions of 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the anisotropic Sobolev spaces. In particular, we proved that for any , given a global large solution v∈C([0,∞);H0,s₀(R³)∩L³(R³)) of (1.1) with and a divergence free vector satisfying for some sufficiently small constant depending on , v, and , (1.1) supplemented with initial data v(0)+w₀ has a unique global solution in u∈C([0,∞);H0,s₀(R³)) with ∇u∈L²(R⁺,H0,s₀(R³)). Furthermore, uh is close enough to vh in C([0,∞);H0,s(R³)).

Lipschitz metric for the periodic Camassa-Holm equation

We study the stability of conservative solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Camassa-Holm equation ut−uxxt+κux+3uux−2uxuxx−uuxxx=0 with periodic initial data u₀. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric dD with the property that for two solutions u and v of the equation we have dD(u(t),v(t))?eCtdD(u₀,v₀). The relationship between this metric and usual norms in and is clarified.     

Global solutions and blow-up phenomena to a shallow water equation

A nonlinear shallow water equation, which includes the famous Camassa-Holm (CH) and Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equations as special cases, is investigated.

Provided that does not change sign, u₀∈Hs () and u₀∈L¹(R), the existence and uniqueness of the global solutions to the equation are shown to be true in u(t,x)∈C([0,∞);Hs(R))∩C¹([0,∞);Hs−1(R)). Conditions that lead to the development of singularities in finite time for the solutions are also acquired.

This result includes the model for monoatomic gas (). If , these solutions also fulfill the weak formulation of the pointwise total energy balance.

Global well-posedness and scattering for the focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations of fourth order in the radial case

We consider the focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation of fourth order , d?5. We prove that if a maximal-lifespan radial solution obeys supt∈I‖Δu(t)_‖2<‖ΔW_‖2, then it is global and scatters both forward and backward in time. Here W denotes the ground state, which is a stationary solution of the equation. In particular, if a solution has both energy and kinetic energy less than those of the ground state W at some point in time, then the solution is global and scatters.     

On the well-posedness of the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system

We prove that the Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system is locally well-posed for the initial data belonging to the Sobolev spaces L²(R)×H−3/4(R), and Hs(R)×H−3/4(R) (s>−1/16) for the resonant case. The new ingredient is that we use the -type space, introduced by the first author in Guo (2009) [10], to deal with the KdV part of the system and the coupling terms. In order to overcome the difficulty caused by the lack of scaling invariance, we prove uniform estimates for the multiplier. This result improves the previous one by Corcho and Linares (2007) [6].
