Energy-critical Hartree equation with harmonic potential for radial data

In this paper, we consider the defocusing, energy-critical Hartree equation with harmonic potential for the radial data in all dimensions (n≥5) and show the global well-posedness and scattering theory in the space Σ=H¹∩FH¹. We take advantage of some symmetry of the Hartree nonlinearity to exploit the derivative-like properties of the Galilean operators and obtain the energy control as well. Based on Bourgain and Tao’s approach, we use a localized Morawetz identity to show the global well-posedness. A key decay estimate comes from the linear part of the energy rather than the nonlinear part, which finally helps us to complete the scattering theory.     

Convergence to equilibrium for the Cahn–Hilliard equation with a logarithmic free energy

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the nonlinear Cahn–Hilliard equation with a logarithmic free energy and similar singular free energies. We prove an existence and uniqueness result with the help of monotone operator methods, which differs from the known proofs based on approximation by smooth potentials. Moreover, we apply the Lojasiewicz–Simon inequality to show that each solution converges to a steady state as time tends to infinity.     

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.     

Energy critical fourth-order Schrödinger equations with subcritical perturbations

In this paper, we study the global well-posedness and scattering theory of an 8-D cubic nonlinear fourth-order Schrödinger equation, which is perturbed by a subcritical nonlinearity. We utilize the strategies in Tao et al. (2007) [16] and Zhang (2006) [17] to obtain when the cubic term is defocusing, the solution is always global no matter what the sign of the subcritical perturbation term is. Moreover, scattering will occur either when the pertubation is defocusing and 1<p<2 or when the mass of the solution is small enough and 1≤p<2.     

Bound states of the Schrödinger-Newton model in low dimensions

We prove the existence of quasi-stationary symmetric solutions with exactly n≥0 zeros and uniqueness for n=0 for the Schrödinger-Newton model in one dimension and in two dimensions along with an angular momentum m≥0. Our result is based on an analysis of the corresponding system of second-order differential equations.     

Scattering theory below energy for the cubic fourth‐order Schrödinger equation

We investigate the global existence and scattering for the cubic fourth‐order Schrödinger equation in a low regularity space with . We provide an alternative approach to obtain a new interaction Morawetz estimate which extends the range of the dimension of the interaction Morawetz estimate in Pausader 29 . We utilize the interaction Morawetz estimates and the I‐method to prove the global well‐posed and scattering result.     

Semiclassical measure for the solution of the dissipative Helmholtz equation

We study the semiclassical measure for the solution of the high-frequency Helmholtz equation in Rn with non-constant absorption index and a source term concentrated on a bounded submanifold of Rn. The potential is not assumed to be non-trapping, but trapped trajectories have to go through the region where the absorption index is positive. In that case, the solution is microlocally written around any point away from the source as a sum (finite or infinite) of lagrangian distributions.     

The nonlinear Schroedinger equation: Solitons dynamics

Asymptotic behavior of critical points for a Gross-Pitaevskii energy

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of critical points of a Gross-Pitaevskii energy, which is proposed as a model for rotationally forced Bose-Einstein condensate. We prove that the limiting singularity set is one-dimensional rectifiable. We also establish the convergence result for critical points away from limiting singularities.     

Strichartz estimates and nonlinear wave equation on nontrapping asymptotically conic manifolds

We prove the global-in-time Strichartz estimates for wave equations on the nontrapping asymptotically conic manifolds. We obtain estimates for the full set of wave admissible indices, including the endpoint. The key points are the properties of the microlocalized spectral measure of Laplacian on this setting showed in [18] and a Littlewood–Paley squarefunction estimate. As applications, we prove the global existence and scattering for a family of nonlinear wave equations on this setting.

Sharp threshold of blow-up and scattering for the fractional Hartree equation

We consider the fractional Hartree equation in the $L^2$-supercritical case, and find a sharp threshold of the scattering versus blow-up dichotomy for radial data: If $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[u_0]<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[Q]$ and $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6u_{0}6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6Q6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2$, then the solution $u(t)$ is globally well-posed and scatters; if $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[u_0]<M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}E[Q]$ and $M{[u_0]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6u_{0}6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2>M{[Q]}^{\frac{s?s_c}{s_c}}{6Q6}_{{\dot{H}}^s}^2$, the solution $u(t)$ blows up in finite time. This condition is sharp in the sense that the solitary wave solution $e^{it}Q(x)$ is global but not scattering, which satisfies the equality in the above conditions. Here, Q is the ground-state solution for the fractional Hartree equation.     

A lower bound on the energy of travelling waves of fixed speed for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

In this paper we consider the Gross-Pitaevskii equation iu _t = Δu + u(1 − |u|²), where u is a complex-valued function defined on , N ≥ 2, and in particular the travelling waves, i.e., the solutions of the form u(x, t) = ν(x ₁ − ct, x ₂, …, x _N ), where is the speed. We prove for c fixed the existence of a lower bound on the energy of any non-constant travelling wave. This bound provides a non-existence result for non-constant travelling waves of fixed speed having small energy.     

Biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the profile decomposition

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with L²-super-critical nonlinearity. By establishing the profile decomposition of bounded sequences in H²(R^N), the best constant of a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality is obtained. Moreover, a sufficient condition for the global existence of the solution to the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation is given.     

Asymptotics of the porous media equation via Sobolev inequalities

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. Consider the porous media equation , u(0)=u₀∈L^q, ? being the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Then, if q?2∨(m-1), the associated evolution is L^q-L^∞ regularizing at any time t>0 and the bound ‖u(t)‖_∞?C(u₀)/t^β holds for t<1 for suitable explicit C(u₀),γ. For large t it is shown that, for general initial data, u(t) approaches its time-independent mean with quantitative bounds on the rate of convergence. Similar bounds are valid when the manifold is not compact, but u(t) approaches u≡0 with different asymptotics. The case of manifolds with boundary and homogeneous Dirichlet, or Neumann, boundary conditions, is treated as well. The proof stems from a new connection between logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and the contractivity properties of the nonlinear evolutions considered, and is therefore applicable to a more abstract setting.     

The spatial behavior of a strongly coupled non-autonomous elliptic system

This article is concerned with the spatial behavior of a strongly coupled non-autonomous elliptic system modeling the steady state of populations that compete in some region. As the competition rate tends to infinity, we obtain the uniform convergence result and prove that non-negative solution of the system converges to the positive and negative parts of a solution of a scalar limit problem.     

Uniform Hölder bounds for a strongly coupled elliptic system with strong competition

This article is concerned with a strongly coupled elliptic system modeling the steady state of populations that compete in some region. We prove that the solutions are uniformly Hölder bounded, as the competition rate tends to infinity. The proof relies on the blow-up technique and the monotonicity formula.
