Decay Estimates for Solutions of Porous Medium Equations with Advection

In this paper, we show that bounded weak solutions of the Cauchy problem for general degenerate parabolic equations of the form

$$ u_{t} + \operatorname{div}f(x,t,u) = \operatorname{div}\bigl( |u|^{\alpha } \nabla u\bigr), \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^{n} , \ t > 0, $$

where \(\alpha > 0 \) is constant, decrease to zero, under fairly broad conditions on the advection flux \(f\). Besides that, we derive a time decay rate for these solutions.

     

Existence,Nonexistence and Multiplicity Results of a Chern-Simons-Schrödinger System

We study the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of solutions to Chern-Simons-Schrödinger system

$$\begin{aligned} \left \{ \textstyle\begin{array}{l@{\quad }l} -\Delta u+u+\lambda (\frac{h^{2}(|x|)}{|x|^{2}}+\int _{|x|}^{+ \infty }\frac{h(s)}{s}u^{2}(s)ds )u=|u|^{p-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{2}, \\ u\in H^{1}_{r}(\mathbb{R}^{2}), \end{array}\displaystyle \right . \end{aligned}$$

where \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(p\in (2,4)\) and

$$ h(s)=\frac{1}{2} \int _{0}^{s}ru^{2}(r)dr. $$

We prove that the system has no solutions for \(\lambda \) large and has two radial solutions for \(\lambda \) small by studying the decomposition of the Nehari manifold and adapting the fibering method. We also give the qualitative properties about the energy of the solutions and a variational characterization of these extremals values of \(\lambda \). Our results improve some results in Pomponio and Ruiz (J. Eur. Math. Soc. 17:1463–1486, 2015).

     

Ground state solutions for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we study the following fractional Hamiltonian systems

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{lllll} -_{t}D^{\alpha }_{\infty }(_{-\infty }D^{\alpha }_{t}x(t))- L(t).x(t)+\nabla W(t,x(t))=0, \\ x\in H^{\alpha }(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{N}), \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in \left( {1\over {2}}, 1\right] ,\ t\in \mathbb {R}, x\in \mathbb {R}^N,\ _{-\infty }D^{\alpha }_{t}\) and \(_{t}D^{\alpha }_{\infty }\) are the left and right Liouville–Weyl fractional derivatives of order \(\alpha \) on the whole axis \(\mathbb {R}\) respectively, \(L:\mathbb {R}\longrightarrow \mathbb {R}^{2N}\) and \(W: \mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb {R}\) are suitable functions. One ground state solution is obtained by applying the monotonicity trick of Jeanjean and the concentration-compactness principle in the case where the matrix L(t) is positive definite and \(W \in C^{1}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^{N},\mathbb {R})\) is superquadratic but does not satisfy the usual Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition.

     

Weighted $$L^2$$ L 2 -norms of Gegenbauer polynomials

We study integrals of the form

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{-1}^1(C_n^{(\lambda )}(x))^2(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta {{\,\mathrm{\mathrm {d}}\,}}x, \end{aligned}$$

where \(C_n^{(\lambda )}\) denotes the Gegenbauer-polynomial of index \(\lambda >0\) and \(\alpha ,\beta >-1\). We give exact formulas for the integrals and their generating functions, and obtain asymptotic formulas as \(n\rightarrow \infty \).

     

Convergence of the solutions of the discounted equation: the discrete case

We derive a discrete version of the results of Davini et al. (Convergence of the solutions of the discounted Hamilton–Jacobi equation. Invent Math, 2016). If M is a compact metric space, \(c : M\times M \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) a continuous cost function and \(\lambda \in (0,1)\), the unique solution to the discrete \(\lambda \)-discounted equation is the only function \(u_\lambda : M\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \forall x\in M, \quad u_\lambda (x) = \min _{y\in M} \lambda u_\lambda (y) + c(y,x). \end{aligned}$$

We prove that there exists a unique constant \(\alpha \in \mathbb {R}\) such that the family of \(u_\lambda +\alpha /(1-\lambda )\) is bounded as \(\lambda \rightarrow 1\) and that for this \(\alpha \), the family uniformly converges to a function \(u_0 : M\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) which then verifies

$$\begin{aligned} \forall x\in X, \quad u_0(x) = \min _{y\in X}u_0(y) + c(y,x)+\alpha . \end{aligned}$$

The proofs make use of Discrete Weak KAM theory. We also characterize \(u_0\) in terms of Peierls barrier and projected Mather measures.

     

The Berry–Esseen bounds of the weighted estimator in a nonparametric regression model

Consider the following nonparametric model: \(Y_{ni}=g(x_{ni})+ \varepsilon _{ni},1\le i\le n,\) where \(x_{ni}\in {\mathbb {A}}\) are the nonrandom design points and \({\mathbb {A}}\) is a compact set of \({\mathbb {R}}^{m}\) for some \(m\ge 1\), \(g(\cdot )\) is a real valued function defined on \({\mathbb {A}}\), and \(\varepsilon _{n1},\ldots ,\varepsilon _{nn}\) are \(\rho ^{-}\)-mixing random errors with zero mean and finite variance. We obtain the Berry–Esseen bounds of the weighted estimator of \(g(\cdot )\). The rate can achieve nearly \(O(n^{-1/4})\) when the moment condition is appropriate. Moreover, we carry out some simulations to verify the validity of our results.

     

Existence and concentration of solution for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems with subquadratic potential

In this article, we consider the following fractional Hamiltonian systems:

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{\infty }^{\alpha }({_{-\infty }}D_{t}^{\alpha }u) + \lambda L(t)u = \nabla W(t, u), \;\;t\in \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/2, 1)\), \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(L\in C(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{n\times n})\) and \(W \in C^{1}(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R})\). Unlike most other papers on this problem, we require that L(t) is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), that is, \(L(t) \equiv 0\) is allowed to occur in some finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\) of \(\mathbb {R}\). Under some mild assumptions on W, we establish the existence of nontrivial weak solution, which vanish on \(\mathbb {R} \setminus \mathbb {I}\) as \(\lambda \rightarrow \infty ,\) and converge to \(\tilde{u}\) in \(H^{\alpha }(\mathbb {R})\); here \(\tilde{u} \in E_{0}^{\alpha }\) is nontrivial weak solution of the Dirichlet BVP for fractional Hamiltonian systems on the finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\). Furthermore, we give the multiplicity results for the above fractional Hamiltonian systems.

     

On Lipschitz continuity of solutions of hyperbolic Poisson’s equation

In this paper, we investigate solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation \(\Delta _{h}u(x)=\psi (x)\), where \(\psi \in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {B}^{n}, {\mathbb R}^n)\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta _{h}u(x)= (1-|x|^2)^2\Delta u(x)+2(n-2)\left( 1-|x|^2\right) \sum _{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}(x) \end{aligned}$$

is the hyperbolic Laplace operator in the n-dimensional space \(\mathbb {R}^n\) for \(n\ge 2\). We show that if \(n\ge 3\) and \(u\in C^{2}(\mathbb {B}^{n},{\mathbb R}^n) \cap C(\overline{\mathbb {B}^{n}},{\mathbb R}^n )\) is a solution to the hyperbolic Poisson equation, then it has the representation \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{ h}[\psi ]\) provided that \(u\mid _{\mathbb {S}^{n-1}}=\phi \) and \(\int _{\mathbb {B}^{n}}(1-|x|^{2})^{n-1} |\psi (x)|\,d\tau (x)<\infty \). Here \(P_{h}\) and \(G_{h}\) denote Poisson and Green integrals with respect to \(\Delta _{h}\), respectively. Furthermore, we prove that functions of the form \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{h}[\psi ]\) are Lipschitz continuous.

     

On the Fourier coefficients of certain Hilbert modular forms

We prove that given any \(\epsilon >0\), a non-zero adelic Hilbert cusp form \({\mathbf {f}}\) of weight \(k=(k_1,k_2,\ldots ,k_n)\in ({\mathbb {Z}}_+)^n\) and square-free level \(\mathfrak {n}\) with Fourier coefficients \(C_{{\mathbf {f}}}(\mathfrak {m})\), there exists a square-free integral ideal \(\mathfrak {m}\) with \(N(\mathfrak {m})\ll k_0^{3n+\epsilon }N(\mathfrak {n})^{\frac{6n^2+1}{2}+\epsilon }\) such that \(C_{{\mathbf {f}}}(\mathfrak {m})\ne 0\). The implied constant depends on \(\epsilon , F\).

     

On univariate slash distributions,continuous and discrete

In this article, I explore in a unified manner the structure of uniform slash and \(\alpha \)-slash distributions which, in the continuous case, are defined to be the distributions of Y / U and \( Y_\alpha /U^{1/\alpha }\) where Y and \(Y_\alpha \) follow any distribution on \(\mathbb {R}^+\) and, independently, U is uniform on (0, 1). The parallels with the monotone and \(\alpha \)-monotone distributions of \( Y \times U\) and \(Y_\alpha \times U^{1/\alpha }\), respectively, are striking. I also introduce discrete uniform slash and \(\alpha \)-slash distributions which arise from a notion of negative binomial thinning/fattening. Their specification, although apparently rather different from the continuous case, seems to be a good one because of the close way in which their properties mimic those of the continuous case.

     

On a Fractional $$ p \& q$$ Laplacian Problem with Critical Sobolev–Hardy Exponents

We consider the following fractional \( p \& q\) Laplacian problem with critical Sobolev–Hardy exponents

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta )^{s}_{p} u + (-\Delta )^{s}_{q} u = \frac{|u|^{p^{*}_{s}(\alpha )-2}u}{|x|^{\alpha }}+ \lambda f(x, u) &{} \text{ in } \Omega \\ u=0 &{} \text{ in } \mathbb {R}^{N}{\setminus } \Omega , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(0<s<1\), \(1\le q<p<\frac{N}{s}\), \((-\Delta )^{s}_{r}\), with \(r\in \{p,q\}\), is the fractional r-Laplacian operator, \(\lambda \) is a positive parameter, \(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{N}\) is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, \(0\le \alpha <sp\), and \(p^{*}_{s}(\alpha )=\frac{p(N-\alpha )}{N-sp}\) is the so-called Hardy–Sobolev critical exponent. Using concentration-compactness principle and the mountain pass lemma due to Kajikiya [23], we show the existence of infinitely many solutions which tend to be zero provided that \(\lambda \) belongs to a suitable range.

     

Classification of finite Morse index solutions for Hénon type elliptic equation -\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha } u_{+}^{p}

In this paper we investigate the non-autonomous elliptic equations \(-\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha } u_{+}^{p}\) in \( \mathbb{R }^{N}\) and in \( \mathbb{R }_+^{N}\) with the Dirichlet boundary condition, with \(N \ge 2\) , \(p>1\) and \(\alpha >-2\) . We consider the weak solutions with finite Morse index and obtain some classification results.     

Space-Time Regularity for the Three Dimensional Navier–Stokes and MHD Equations

In this paper, we investigate the space-time regularity of solutions to (1) the three dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for initial data \(u_{0}=(u_{0}^{h},u_{0}^{3}) \in \dot{B}_{p,r}^{ \frac{3}{p}-1} (\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with large initial vertical velocity component; and (2) the three dimensional incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic equations for initial datum \(u_{0}=(u_{0}^{h},u _{0}^{3})\in \dot{B}_{p,r}^{\frac{3}{p}-1} (\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with large initial vertical velocity component and \(b_{0}=(b_{0}^{h},b_{0}^{3}) \in \dot{B}_{p,r}^{\frac{3}{p}-1} (\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with large initial vertical magnetic field component.

     

Functional Matrix Multipliers for Parseval Gabor Multi-frame Generators

We consider the problem of characterizing the bounded linear operator multipliers on \(L^{2}(\mathbb{R})\) that map Gabor frame generators to Gabor frame generators. We prove that a functional matrix \(M(t)=[f_{ij}(t)]_{m \times m}\) (where \(f_{ij}\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})\)) is a multiplier for Parseval Gabor multi-frame generators with parameters \(a, b >0\) if and only if \(M(t)\) is unitary and \(M^{*}(t)M(t+\frac{1}{b})= \lambda(t)I\) for some unimodular \(a\)-periodic function \(\lambda(t)\). As a special case (\(m =1\)) this recovers the characterization of functional multipliers for Parseval Gabor frames with single function generators.

     

Sharp Moser–Trudinger Inequalities on Hyperbolic Spaces with Exact Growth Condition

Let \(\Phi _{n}(x)=e^x-\sum _{j=0}^{n-2}\frac{x^j}{j!}\) and \(\alpha _{n} =n\omega _{n-1}^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\) be the sharp constant in Moser’s inequality (where \(\omega _{n-1}\) is the area of the surface of the unit \(n\)-ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\)), and \(dV\) be the volume element on the \(n\)-dimensional hyperbolic space \((\mathbb {H}^n, g)\) (\(n\ge {2}\)). In this paper, we establish the following sharp Moser–Trudinger type inequalities with the exact growth condition on \(\mathbb {H}^n\):

For any \(u\in {W^{1,n}(\mathbb {H}^n)}\) satisfying \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), there exists a constant \(C(n)>0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\mathbb {H}^n}\frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}|u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}}dV \le {C(n)\Vert u\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}. \end{aligned}$$

The power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) and the constant \(\alpha _{n}\) are optimal in the following senses:

1. (i)
   If the power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) in the denominator is replaced by any \(p<\frac{n}{n-1}\), then there exists a sequence of functions \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}(|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV \rightarrow {\infty }. \end{aligned}$$
    
2. (ii)
   If \(\alpha >\alpha _{n}\), then there exists a sequence of function \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha (|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV\rightarrow {\infty }, \end{aligned}$$

   for any \(p\ge {0}\).
    

This result sharpens the earlier work of the authors Lu and Tang (Adv Nonlinear Stud 13(4):1035–1052, 2013) on best constants for the Moser–Trudinger inequalities on hyperbolic spaces.

     

On Neyman–Pearson minimax detection of Poisson process intensity

The problem of the minimax testing of the Poisson process intensity \({\mathbf{s}}\) is considered. For a given intensity \({\mathbf{p}}\) and a set \(\mathcal{Q}\), the minimax testing of the simple hypothesis \(H_{0}: {\mathbf{s}} = {\mathbf{p}}\) against the composite alternative \(H_{1}: {\mathbf{s}} = {\mathbf{q}},\,{\mathbf{q}} \in \mathcal{Q}\) is investigated. The case, when the 1-st kind error probability \(\alpha \) is fixed and we are interested in the minimal possible 2-nd kind error probability \(\beta ({\mathbf{p}},\mathcal{Q})\), is considered. What is the maximal set \(\mathcal{Q}\), which can be replaced by an intensity \({\mathbf{q}} \in \mathcal{Q}\) without any loss of testing performance? In the asymptotic case (\(T\rightarrow \infty \)) that maximal set \(\mathcal{Q}\) is described.

     

Existence of multi-bump solutions for a class of elliptic problems involving the biharmonic operator

Using variational methods, we establish existence of multi-bump solutions for the following class of problems

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta ^2 u +(\lambda V(x)+1)u = f(u), \quad \text{ in } \quad \mathbb {R}^{N},\\ u \in H^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{N}), \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(N \ge 1\), \(\Delta ^2\) is the biharmonic operator, f is a continuous function with subcritical growth, \(V : \mathbb {R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) is a continuous function verifying some conditions and \(\lambda >0\) is a real constant large enough.

     

Construction of sign-changing solutions for a harmonic equation with subcritical exponent

In this paper, we study the harmonic equation involving subcritical exponent \((P_{\varepsilon })\): \( \Delta u = 0 \), in \(\mathbb {B}^n\) and \(\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu } + \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2}u = \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2} K u^{\frac{n}{n-2}-\varepsilon }\) on \( \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) where \(\mathbb {B}^n \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\), \(n\ge 5\) with Euclidean metric \(g_0\), \(\partial \mathbb {B}^n = \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) is its boundary, K is a function on \(\mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) and \(\varepsilon \) is a small positive parameter. We construct solutions of the subcritical equation \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which blow up at two different critical points of K. Furthermore, we construct solutions of \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which have two bubbles and blow up at the same critical point of K.     

On some constacyclic codes over $$\mathbb {Z}_{4}\left[ u\right] /\left\langle u^{2}-1\right\rangle $$, their $$\mathbb {Z}_4$$Z4 images,and new codes

In this paper, we study \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over the ring \(R=\mathbb {Z}_4+u\mathbb {Z}_4\) where \(u^{2}=1\), for \(\lambda =3+2u\) and \(2+3u\). Two new Gray maps from R to \(\mathbb {Z}_4^{3}\) are defined with the goal of obtaining new linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\). The Gray images of \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R are determined. We then conducted a computer search and obtained many \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R whose \(\mathbb {Z}_4\)-images have better parameters than currently best-known linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\).
