We study a nonlinear wave equation on finite connected weighted graphs. Using Rothe's and energy methods, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution under certain assumption. For linear wave equation on graphs, Lin and Xie \cite{Lin-Xie} obtained the existence and uniqueness of solution. The main novelty of this paper is that the wave equation we considered has the nonlinear damping term $|u_t|^{p-1}\cdot u_t$ ($p>1$).
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a finite weighted graph, and $Ω\subseteq V$ be a domain such that $Ω^\circ\neq\emptyset$. In this paper, we study the following initial boundary problem for the non-homogenous wave equation \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &\partial_t^2 u(t,x)-Δ_Ωu(t,x)=f(t,x),\qquad&&(t,x)\in[0,\infty)\times Ω^\circ,\\ &u(0,x)=g(x),\qquad&& x\inΩ^\circ,\\ &\partial_tu(0,x)=h(x),\qquad&& x\inΩ^\circ,\\ &u(t,x)=0,\qquad&&(t,x)\in[0,\infty)\times\partial Ω, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} where $Δ_Ω$ denotes the Dirichlet Laplacian on $Ω^\circ$. Using Rothe's method, we prove tha…
This paper analyses the well-posedness and properties of the extended play-type model which was proposed in [van Duijn & Mitra (2018)] to incorporate hysteresis in unsaturated flow through porous media. The model, when regularised, reduces to a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation coupled with an ordinary differential equation. This has an interesting mathematical structure which, to our knowledge, still remains unexplored. The existence of solutions for the non-degenerate version of the model is shown using the Rothe's method. An equivalent to maximum principle is proven for the solutions.…
We derive a degenerate quasilinear Schrödinger equation that describes the resonant reflection of very weak, nonlinear sound waves off a weak sawtooth entropy wave.
The well-known Stokes waves refer to periodic traveling waves under the gravity at the free surface of a two dimensional full water wave system. In this paper, we prove that small-amplitude Stokes waves with infinite depth are nonlinearly unstable under long-wave perturbations. Our approach is based on the modulational approximation of the water wave system and the instability mechanism of the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
We consider nonlinear elastic wave equations generalizing Gol'dberg's five constants model. We analyze the nonlinear interaction of two distorted plane waves and characterize the possible nonlinear responses. Using the boundary measurements of the nonlinear responses, we solve the inverse problem of determining elastic parameters from the displacement-to-traction map.
We consider nonlinear Schrödinger equations with either power-type or Hartree nonlinearity in the presence of an external potential. We show that for long-range nonlinearities, solutions cannot exhibit scattering to solitary waves or more general localized waves. This extends the well-known results concerning non-existence of non-trivial scattering states for long-range nonlinearities.
The global attraction to stationary states is established for solutions to 3D wave equations with concentrated nonlinearities: each finite energy solution converges as $t\to\pm\infty$ to stationary states. The attraction is caused by nonlinear energy radiation.
In this paper we prove the existence of finite traveling-wave type solutions to the nonlinear double degenerate parabolic equation of turbulent filtration with absorption.
In this paper, a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an attractive (focusing) delta potential and a repulsive (defocusing) double power nonlinearity in one spatial dimension is considered. It is shown, via explicit construction, that both standing wave and equilibrium solutions do exist for certain parameter regimes. In addition, it is proved that both types of wave solutions are orbitally stable under the flow of the equation by minimizing the charge/energy functional.
Consider a nonlinear wave equation for a massless scalar field with self-interaction in the spatially flat de Sitter spacetime. We show that blow-up in a finite time occurs for the equation with arbitrary power nonlinearity as well as upper bounds of the lifespan of blow-up solutions.The blow-up condition is the same as in the accelerated expanding Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime. We also show the same results for the space derivative nonlinear term.
We study traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear variational wave equation. In particular, we show how to obtain global, bounded, weak traveling wave solutions from local, classical ones. The resulting waves consist of monotone and constant segments, glued together at points where at least one one-sided derivative is unbounded. Applying the method of proof to the Camassa--Holm equation, we recover some well-known results on its traveling wave solutions.
We use a geometric approach to prove the existence of smooth travelling wave solutions of a nonlinear diffusion-reaction equation with logistic kinetics and a convex nonlinear diffusivity function which changes sign twice in our domain of interest. We determine the minimum wave speed, c*, and investigate its relation to the spectral stability of the travelling wave solutions.
We derive a novel two-component generalization of the nonlinear variational wave equation as a model for the director field of a nematic liquid crystal with a variable order parameter. The two-component nonlinear variational wave equation admits solutions locally in time. We show that a particular long time asymptotic expansion around a constant state in a moving frame satisfy the two-component Hunter--Saxton system.
In this paper we prove global well-posedness for the defocusing, energy-subcritical, nonlinear wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^{1 + 3}$ with initial data in a critical Besov space. No radial symmetry assumption is needed.
In this paper we prove the existence of the global attractor for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping, nonlocal anti-damping and critical nonlinearity.
We study the two-dimensional wave equation with cubic nonlinearity posed on $\mathbb R^2$, with space-time white noise forcing. After a suitable renormalisation of the nonlinearity, we prove global well-posedness for this equation for initial data in $\mathcal H^s$, $s>\frac45$.
In this article, we study the Anderson Hamiltonian in the full space and prove wellposedness of nonlinear stochastic wave equation and NLS with polynomial nonlinearities.
