On the Hénon equation with a Neumann boundary condition: Asymptotic profile of ground states

Consider the Hénon equation with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition

$?\mathrm{\Delta }u+u=|x{|}^{\alpha }{u}^p,u>0\text{in}\mathrm{\Omega },\frac{?u}{?\nu }=0\text{ on }?\mathrm{\Omega },$

where $\mathrm{\Omega }?B(0,1)?{\mathbb{R}}^N,N\ge 2$ and $?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1)\ne ?$. We are concerned on the asymptotic behavior of ground state solutions as the parameter $\alpha \to \infty$. As $\alpha \to \infty$, the non-autonomous term $|x{|}^{\alpha }$ is getting singular near $|x|=1$. The singular behavior of $|x{|}^{\alpha }$ for large $\alpha >0$ forces the solution to blow up. Depending subtly on the $(N?1)?$dimensional measure $|?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1){|}_{N?1}$ and the nonlinear growth rate p, there are many different types of limiting profiles. To catch the asymptotic profiles, we take different types of renormalization depending on p and $|?\mathrm{\Omega }\cap ?B(0,1){|}_{N?1}$. In particular, the critical exponent $2_{?}=\frac{2(N?1)}{N?2}$ for the Sobolev trace embedding plays a crucial role in the renormalization process. This is quite contrasted with the case of Dirichlet problems, where there is only one type of limiting profile for any $p\in (1,2^{?}?1)$ and a smooth domain Ω.

We study the Dirichlet problem for the Hénon equation

Non radial positive solutions for the Hénon equation with critical growth

We study the Dirichlet problem in a ball for the Hénon equation with critical growth and we establish, under some conditions, the existence of a positive, non radial solution. The solution is obtained as a minimizer of the quotient functional associated to the problem restricted to appropriate subspaces of H₀¹ invariant for the action of a subgroup of . Analysis of compactness properties of minimizing sequences and careful level estimates are the main ingredients of the proof.

Non-radial least energy solutions of the generalized Hénon equation

In this paper, we study the generalized Hénon equation with a radial coefficient function in the unit ball and show the existence of a positive non-radial solution. Our result is applicable to a wide class of coefficient functions. Our theorem ensures that if the ratio of the density of the coefficient function in $|x|<a$ to that in $a<|x|<1$ is small enough and a is sufficiently close to 1, then a least energy solution is not radially symmetric.

Recent Results on the Dynamics of Higher-dimensional Hénon Maps

We investigate different aspects of chaotic dynamics in Hénon maps of dimension higher than 2. First, we review recent results on the existence of homoclinic points in 2-d and 4-d such maps, by demonstrating how they can be located with great accuracy using the parametrization method. Then we turn our attention to perturbations of Hénon maps by an angle variable that are defined on the solid torus, and prove the existence of uniformly hyperbolic solenoid attractors for an open set of parameters.We thus argue that higher-dimensional Hénon maps exhibit a rich variety of chaotic behavior that deserves to be further studied in a systematic way.     

Asymptotic behavior of the Newton–Boussinesq equation in a two-dimensional channel

We prove the existence of a global attractor for the Newton–Boussinesq equation defined in a two-dimensional channel. The asymptotic compactness of the equation is derived by the uniform estimates on the tails of solutions. We also establish the regularity of the global attractor.     

Asymptotic behavior of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation

Cauchy’s problem for a generalization of the KdV–Burgers equation is considered in Sobolev spaces H¹(\mathbbR){H^1(\mathbb{R})} and H²(\mathbbR){H^2(\mathbb{R})}. We study its local and global solvability and the asymptotic behavior of solutions (in terms of the global attractors). The parabolic regularization technique is used in this paper which allows us to extend the strong regularity properties and estimates of solutions of the fourth order parabolic approximations onto their third order limit—the generalized Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation. For initial data in H²(\mathbbR){H^2(\mathbb{R})} we study the notion of viscosity solutions to KdVB, while for the larger H¹(\mathbbR){H^1(\mathbb{R})} phase space we introduce weak solutions to that problem. Finally, thanks to our general assumptions on the nonlinear term f guaranteeing that the global attractor is usually nontrivial (i.e., not reduced to a single stationary solution), we study an upper semicontinuity property of the family of global attractors corresponding to parabolic regularizations when the regularization parameter e{\epsilon} tends to 0⁺ (which corresponds the passage to the KdVB equation).     

Asymptotic behavior of a generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation with a mass source

We consider in this article a generalized Cahn–Hilliard equation with mass source (nonlinear reaction term) which has applications in biology. We are interested in the well-posedness and the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions (and, more precisely, the existence of finite-dimensional attractors). We first consider the usual Dirichlet boundary conditions and then Neumann boundary conditions. The latter require additional assumptions on the mass source term to obtain the dissipativity. Indeed, otherwise, the order parameter u can blow up in finite time. We also give numerical simulations which confirm the theoretical results.     

Entropy estimation of the Hénon attractor

The topological entropy of the Hénon attractor is estimated using a function that describes the stable and unstable manifolds of the Hénon map. This function provides an accurate estimate of the length of curves in the attractor. The estimation method presented here can be applied to cases in which the invariant set is not hyperbolic. From the result of the length calculation, we have estimated the topological entropy h as h ～ 0.49703 for the original parameters a = 1.4 and b = 0.3 adopted by Hénon.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the σ k -Yamabe equation near isolated singularities

σ _k -Yamabe equations are conformally invariant equations generalizing the classical Yamabe equation. In (J. Funct. Anal. 233: 380–425, 2006) YanYan Li proved that an admissible solution with an isolated singularity at 0∈ℝ ⁿ to the σ _k -Yamabe equation is asymptotically radially symmetric. In this work we prove that such a solution is asymptotic to a radial solution to the same equation on ℝ ⁿ ∖{0}. These results generalize earlier pioneering work in this direction on the classical Yamabe equation by Caffarelli, Gidas, and Spruck. In extending the work of Caffarelli et al., we formulate and prove a general asymptotic approximation result for solutions to certain ODEs which include the case for scalar curvature and σ _k curvature cases. An alternative proof is also provided using analysis of the linearized operators at the radial solutions, along the lines of approach in a work by Korevaar, Mazzeo, Pacard, and Schoen.

Asymptotic behavior in the trailing edge domain of the solution of the KdV equation with an initial condition of the “threshold type”

We derive a new integral equation that linearizes the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg—de Vries equation for the initial condition of the threshold type, where the initial function vanishes as x- and tends to some periodic function as x+. We also expand the solution of the Cauchy problem into a radiation component determined by the reflection coefficient and a component determined by the nonvanishing initial condition. For the second component, we derive an approximate determinant formula that is valid for any t0 and x(-,X _N), where X _N with the unboundedly increasing parameter N that determines the finite-dimensional approximation to the integral equation. We prove that as t, the solution of the Cauchy problem in the neighborhood of the trailing edge decays into asymptotic solitons, whose phases can be explicitly evaluated in terms of the reflection coefficient and other parameters of the problem.     

Fractional Hardy–Hénon equations on exterior domains

In this paper, we consider the fractional Hardy–Hénon equations with an isolated singularity. If the isolated singularity is located at the origin, we give a classification of solutions to this equation. If the isolated singularity is located at infinity, in the case of exterior domains, we provide decay estimates of solutions and their gradients at infinity. Our results are an extension of the classical work by Caffarelli, Gidas et al.     

A note on homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits for the generalized Hénon map

An important problem in a given dynamical system is to determine the existence of a homoclinic orbit. We improve the results of Qin and Xiao [Nonlinearity, 20 (2007), 2305–2317], who present some sufficient conditions for the existence of a homoclinic/heteroclinic orbit for the generalized H´enon map. Moreover, an algorithm is presented to locate these homoclinic orbits.
