We prove the existence of strong and weak solutions to the semilinear wave equation with coefficients depending both on time and space variables, with continuous nonlinearity satisfying the sign condition. The uniqueness is proven under slightly more restrictive assumptions. Furthermore, the results obtained in abstract setting are illustrated on practical examples.
We consider semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We give conditions which guarantee global existence of solutions as well as blow-up in finite time of all solutions with nontrivial initial data. The results depend on the behavior of variable coefficients as $t \to \infty.$
In this short note, we investigate simultaneous recovery inverse problems for semilinear elliptic equations with partial data. The main technique is based on higher order linearization and monotonicity approaches. With these methods at hand, we can determine the diffusion, cavity and coefficients simultaneously by knowing the corresponding localized Dirichlet-Neumann operators.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equations with variable coefficients a(x) having power type nonlinearity |u|^p. We discuss the global existence of solutions for small initial data and investigate the relation between the range of a(x) and the order p.
We consider a nonlinear wave equation with nonconstant coefficients. In particular, the coefficient in front of the second order space derivative is degenerate. We give the blow-up behavior and the regularity of the blow-up set. Partial results are given at the origin, where the degeneracy occurs. Some nontrivial obstacles, due to the nonconstant speed of propagation, have to be surmounted.
We prove the existence of a critical Fujita exponent for a non-homogeneous semilinear heat equation which involves degenerate coefficients. More precisely, in order to give a rather complete theory, we focus on two types of weights $w(x)=|x_1|^a$ or $w(x)=|x|^b$ where $a, b>0$ in a suitable range. The coefficients under consideration admit either a singularity at the origin or a line of singularities. In the latter case, the problem is related to the fractional Laplacian.

In this work, we study the stable determination of four space-dependent coefficients appearing in a coupled semilinear parabolic system with variable diffusion matrices subject to dynamic boundary conditions which couple intern-boundary phenomena. We prove a Lipschitz stability result for interior and boundary potentials by means of only one observation component, localized in any arbitrary open subset of the physical domain. The proof mainly relies on some new Carleman estimates for dynamic boundary conditions of surface diffusion type.
We study mild solutions of a class of stochastic partial differential equations, involving operators with polynomially bounded coefficients. We consider semilinear equations under suitable hyperbolicity hypotheses on the linear part. We provide conditions on the initial data and on the stochastic terms, namely, on the associated spectral measure, so that mild solutions exist and are unique in suitably chosen functional classes. More precisely, function-valued solutions are obtained, as well as a regularity result.
We prove the global existence of small data solution in all space dimension for weakly coupled systems of semi-linear effectively damped wave, with different time-dependent coefficients in the dissipation terms. Moreover, nonlinearity terms $ f(t,u) $ and $ g(t,v) $ satisfying some properties of the parabolic equation. We study the problem in several classes of regularity.
In this paper, we analyze a semilinear damped second order evolution equation with time-dependent time delay and time-dependent delay feedback coefficient. The nonlinear term satisfies a local Lipschitz continuity assumption. Under appropriate conditions, we prove well-posedness and exponential stability of our model for small initial data. Our arguments combine a Lyapunov functional approach with some continuity arguments. Moreover, as an application of our abstract results, the damped wave equation with a source term and delay feedback is analyzed.
We consider the initial value problem for the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent effective damping. The interest is the behavior of lifespan of solutions in view of the asymptotic profile of the damping as $t\to \infty$. The result of this paper is the sharp lifespan estimates of blowup solutions for general time-dependent damping including threshold cases between effective and overdamping.
We provide a rigorous justication of nonlinear geometric optics expansions for reflecting \emph{pulses} in space dimensions $n>1$. The pulses arise as solutions to variable coefficient semilinear first-order hyperbolic systems. The justification applies to $N\times N$ systems with $N$ interacting pulses which depend on phases that may be nonlinear. The \emph{coherence} assumption made in a number of earlier works is dropped. We consider problems in which incoming pulses are generated from pulse boundary data as well as problems in which a single outgoing pulse reflects off a possibly curved bo…
In this paper we extend the interior regularity results for stable solutions in [Cabré, Figalli, Ros-Oton, and Serra, Acta Math. 224 (2020)] to operators with variable coefficients. We show that stable solutions to the semilinear elliptic equation $a_{ij}(x)u_{ij} + b_i(x) u_i + f(u) = 0$ are Hölder continuous in the optimal range of dimensions $n \leq 9$. Our bounds are independent of the nonlinearity $f \in C^1$, which we assume to be non-negative. The main achievement of our work is to make the constants in our estimates depend on the $C^1$ norm of $a_{ij}$ and the $C^0$ norm of $b_i$, inst…
The paper investigates a class of a semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping term ($-\frac{1}{{(1+t)}^β}Δu_t$) and a nonlinearity $|u|^p$. We will show the influence of the the parameter $β$ in the blow-up results under some hypothesis on the initial data and the exponent $p$ by using the test function method. We also study the local existence in time of mild solution in the energy space $H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\times L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$.
We verify the critical case $p=p_0(n)$ of Strauss' conjecture (1981) concerning the blow-up of solutions to semilinear wave equations with variable coefficients in $\mathbf{R}^n$, where $n\geq 2$. The perturbations of Laplace operator are assumed to be smooth and decay exponentially fast at infinity. We also obtain a sharp lifespan upper bound for solutions with compactly supported data when $p=p_0(n)$. The unified approach to blow-up problems in all dimensions combines several classical ideas in order to generalize and simplify the method of Zhou(2007) and Zhou and Han (2014): exponential "ei…
In this work, we investigate the influence of general damping and potential terms on the blow-up and lifespan estimates for energy solutions to power-type semilinear wave equations. The space-dependent damping and potential functions are assumed to be critical or short range, spherically symmetric perturbation. The blow up results and the upper bound of lifespan estimates are obtained by the so-called test function method. The key ingredient is to construct special positive solutions to the linear dual problem with the desired asymptotic behavior, which is reduced, in turn, to constructing sol…
In this paper we consider a multidimensional semilinear reaction-diffusion equation and we obtain at any arbitrary time an approximate controllability result between nonnegative states using as control term the reaction coefficient, that is via multiplicative controls.
We study function-valued solutions of a class of stochastic partial differential equations, involving operators with polynomially bounded coefficients. We consider semilinear equations under suitable parabolicity hypotheses. We provide conditions on the initial data and on the stochastic terms, namely, on the associated spectral measure, so that these mild solutions exist uniquely in suitably chosen functional classes.
We investigate the monotonicity method for fractional semilinear elliptic equations with power type nonlinearities. We prove that if-and-only-if monotonicity relations between coefficients and the derivative of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map hold. Based on the strong monotonicity relations, we study a constructive global uniqueness for coefficients and inclusion detection for the fractional Calderón type inverse problem. Meanwhile, we can also derive the Lipschitz stability with finitely many measurements. The results hold for any $n\geq 1$.
We consider an inverse boundary value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a time-dependent Lorentzian manifold with time-like boundary. The time-dependent coefficients of the nonlinear terms can be recovered in the interior from the knowledge of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. Either distorted plane waves or Gaussian beams can be used to derive uniqueness.
We consider the Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equations with variable coefficients and time-dependent scattering damping in $\mathbf{R}^n$, where $n\geq 2$. It is expected that the critical exponent will be Strauss' number $p_0(n)$, which is also the one for semilinear wave equations without damping terms. Lai and Takamura (2018) have obtained the blow-up part, together with the upper bound of lifespan, in the sub-critical case $p<p_0(n)$. In this paper, we extend their results to the critical case $p=p_0(n)$. The proof is based on Wakasa and Yordanov (2018), which concerns the blow-up an…
We study global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with time-dependent damping and a power nonlinearity in the overdamping case. We prove the global well-posedness for small data in the energy space for the whole energy-subcritical case. This result implies that small data blow-up does not occur in the overdamping case, different from the other cases, i.e. effective or non-effective damping.
A breather construction for a semilinear curl-curl wave equation with radially symmetric coefficients
考虑半线性卷曲-卷曲波动方程$s(x) \partial_t^2 U +\nabla\times\nabla\times U + q(x) U \pm V(x) |U|^{p-1} U = 0 \mbox{ for } (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^3\times\mathbb{R}$ .对于任何$p>1$，我们证明了存在的时间周期空间本地化的实值解（呼吸）的$+$和$-$的情况下略有不同的假设。我们的解决方案是经典的解决方案，是径向对称的空间和指数衰减到$0$为$|x|\to \infty$。我们的方法是基于这样一个事实，即径向对称函数的梯度场被旋度-旋度算子湮没。从而将半线性波动方程化为以$r=|x|$为参数的常微分方程。这种常微分方程可以有效地分析相空间。作为我们的分析的副作用，我们得到的相移呼吸$U(x,t+a(x))$，其中$U$是一个特定的呼吸和$a:\mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R}$任意径向对称$C^2$函数，不仅一个，但一个完整的连续。
It is believed or conjectured that the semilinear wave equations with scattering space dependent damping admit the Strauss critical exponent, see Ikehata-Todorova-Yordanov \cite{ITY}(the bottom in page 2) and Nishihara-Sobajima-Wakasugi \cite{N2}(conjecture iii in page 4). In this work, we are devoted to showing the conjecture is true at least when the decay rate of the space dependent variable coefficients before the damping is larger than 2. Also, if the nonlinear term depends only on the derivative of the solution, we may prove the upper bound of the lifespan is the same as that of the solu…
In this paper, we study the semilinear elliptic equation of the form \begin{eqnarray*} -Δu+a(x)|u|^{p-2}u-b(x)|u|^{q-2}u=0 \end{eqnarray*} on lattice graphs $\mathbb{Z}^{N}$, where $N\geq 2$ and $2\leq p<q<+\infty$. By the Brézis-Lieb lemma and concentration compactness principle, we prove the existence of positive solutions to the above equation with constant coefficients $\bar{a},\bar{b}$ and the decomposition of bounded Palais-Smale sequences for the functional with variable coefficients, which tend to some constants $\bar{a},\bar{b}$ at infinity, respectively.
We study various partial data inverse boundary value problems for the semilinear elliptic equation $Δu+ a(x,u)=0$ in a domain in $\mathbb R^n$ by using the higher order linearization technique introduced in [LLS 19, FO19]. We show that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the above equation determines the Taylor series of $a(x,z)$ at $z=0$ under general assumptions on $a(x,z)$. The determination of the Taylor series can be done in parallel with the detection of an unknown cavity inside the domain or an unknown part of the boundary of the domain. The method relies on the solution of the linearized p…
We consider a semilinear parabolic equation with flux at the boundary governed by a nonlinear memory. We give some conditions for this problem which guarantee global existence of solutions as well as blow up in finite time of all nontrivial solutions. The results depend on the behavior of variable coefficients as $t \to \infty.$
In this work we derive some blow-up results for semilinear wave equations both in de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. By requiring suitable conditions on a time-dependent factor in the nonlinear term, we prove the blow-up in finite time of the spatial averages of local in time solutions. In particular, we derive a sequence of lower bound estimates for the spatial average by combining a suitable slicing procedure with an iteration frame for this time-dependent functional.
Motivated by applications in quantitative photoacoustic imaging, we study inverse problems to a semilinear radiative transport equation (RTE) where we intend to reconstruct absorption coefficients in the equation from single and multiple internal data sets. We derive uniqueness and stability results for the inverse transport problem in the absence of scattering (in which case we also derive some explicit reconstruction methods) and in the presence of known scattering.
In this paper we analyze a semilinear abstract damped wave-type equation with time delay. We assume that the delay feedback coefficient is variable in time and belonging to $L^1_{loc}([0, +\infty)).$ Under suitable assumptions, we show well-posedness and exponential stability for small initial data. Our strategy combines careful energy estimates and continuity arguments. Some examples illustrate the abstract results.
We show that a wide range of overdetermined boundary problems for semilinear equations with position-dependent nonlinearities admits nontrivial solutions. The result holds true both on the Euclidean space and on compact Riemannian manifolds. As a byproduct of the proofs we also obtain some rigidity, or partial symmetry, results for solutions to overdetermined problems on Riemannian manifolds of nonconstant curvature.
