We study the theory of scattering for the Zakharov system in space dimension 3. We prove in particular the existence of wave operators for that system with no size restriction on the data in larger spaces and for more general asymptotic states than were previously considered, and we determine convergence rates in time of solutions in the range of the wave operators to the solutions of the underlying linear system. We also consider the same system in space dimension 2, where we prove the existence of wave operators in the special case of vanishing asymptotic data for the wave field.
In this article we show that the large time asymptotics for the Grinevich-Zakharov rational solutions of the Novikov-Veselov equation at positive energy (an analog of KdV in 2+1 dimensions) is given by a finite sum of localized travel waves (solitons).
Consider the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$, and we are interested in establishing the small global solution to the equations and in investigating the pointwise asymptotic behavior of the solution. The Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations can be regarded as a coupled semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon system with quadratic nonlinearities which do not satisfy the null conditions, and the fact that wave components and Klein-Gordon components do not decay sufficiently fast makes it harder to conduct the analysis. In order to conquer the difficulties, we will rely on the hyperboloi…
We prove small energy scattering for the 3D Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system with radial symmetry. The idea of proof is the same as the Zakharov system studied in \cite{GN}, namely to combine the normal form reduction and the radial-improved Strichartz estimates
We prove small energy scattering for the 3D Zakharov system with radial symmetry. The main ingredients are normal form reduction and the radial-improved Strichartz estimates.
We prove global existence and scattering for small localized solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Zakharov system in 3 space dimensions. The wave component is shown to decay pointwise at the optimal rate of t^{-1}, whereas the Schrödinger component decays almost at a rate of t^{-7/6}.
We obtain scattering for the 3D Zakharov system with non-radial small data in the energy space with angular regularity of degree one. The main ingredient is a generalized Strichartz estimate for the Schrödinger equation in the space of $L^2$ angular integrability.
We consider the Zakharov system in the energy critical dimension $d=4$ with energy below the ground state. It is known that below the ground state solutions exist globally in time, and scatter in the radial case. Scattering below the ground state in the non-radial case is an open question. We show that if scattering fails, then there exists a minimal energy non-scattering solution below the ground state. Moreover the orbit of this solution is precompact modulo translations. The proof follows by a concentration compactness argument, together with a refined small data theory for energy dispersed…
The Cauchy problem for the Zakharov system in four dimensions is considered. Some new well-posedness results are obtained. For small initial data, global well-posedness and scattering results are proved, including the case of initial data in the energy space. None of these results is restricted to radially symmetric data.
We prove that solitons (or solitary waves) of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation, a physically relevant high dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation appearing in Plasma Physics, and having mixed KdV and nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) dynamics, are strongly asymptotically stable in the energy space in the physical region. We also prove that the sum of well-arranged solitons is stable in the same space. Orbital stability of ZK solitons is well-known since the work of de Bouard. Our proofs follow the ideas by Martel and Martel and Merle, applied for generalized KdV equat…
We consider the generalized two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $u_t+\partial_x Δu+\partial_x(u^{k+1})=0$, where $k\geq3$ is an integer number. For $k\geq8$ we prove local well-posedness in the $L^2$-based Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$, where $s$ is greater than the critical scaling index $s_k=1-2/k$. For $k\geq 3$ we also establish a sharp criteria to obtain global $H^1(\R^2)$ solutions. A nonlinear scattering result in $H^1(\R^2)$ is also established assuming the initial data is small and belongs to a suitable Lebesgue space.
We consider the quadratic Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$ \partial_t u + \partial_x Δu + \partial_x u^2 =0 $$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$. A solitary wave solution is given by $Q(x-t,y,z)$, where $Q$ is the ground state solution to $-Q + ΔQ + Q^2 =0$. We prove the asymptotic stability of these solitary wave solutions. Specifically, we show that initial data close to $Q$ in the energy space, evolves to a solution that, as $t\to\infty$, converges to a rescaling and shift of $Q(x-t,y,z)$ in $L^2$ in a rightward shifting region $x> δt -\tan θ\sqrt{y^2+z^2} $ for $0 \leq θ\leq \fracπ{3}-δ$.
We study here the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$ and $3$ and the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in dimension $2$. Those equations admit solitons, characterized by their velocity and their shift. Given the parameters of $K$ solitons $R^k$ (with distinct velocities), we prove the existence and uniqueness of a multi-soliton $u$ such that $\left\| u- \sum_{k=1}^K R^k \right\|_{H^1}\rightarrow 0 $ as $t \rightarrow +\infty$. The convergence takes place in $H^s$ with an exponential rate for all $s\geq 0$. The construction is made by successive approximations of the multi-soliton.…
We study the Cauchy problem for the Zakharov system in spatial dimension $d\ge 4$ with initial datum $(u(0), n(0), \partial_t n(0)) \in H^k(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{H}^l(\mathbb{R}^d)\times \dot{H}^{l-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. According to Ginibre, Tsutsumi and Velo, the critical exponent of $(k,l)$ is $((d-3)/2,(d-4)/2)$. We prove the scattering and the small data global well-posedness at the critical space. It seems difficult to get the crucial bilinear estimate only by applying the $U^2,\ V^2$ type spaces introduced by Koch-Tataru. To avoid the difficulty, we use an intersection space of $V^2$ ty…
We are interested in the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$, which is an important model in plasma physics with extensive mathematical studies. The system can be regarded as semilinear coupled wave and Klein-Gordon equations with nonlinearities violating the null conditions. Without the compactness assumptions on the initial data, we aim to establish the existence of small global solutions, and in addition, we want to illustrate the optimal pointwise decay of the solutions. Furthermore, we show that the Klein-Gordon part of the system enjoys linear scattering while the wave par…
In this paper, we consider the stability for line solitary waves of the two dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}_L$ which is one of a high dimensional generalization of Korteweg-de Vries equation , where $\mathbb{T}_L$ is the torus with the period $2πL$. The orbital and asymptotic stability of the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation on the energy space has been proved by Benjamin, Pego and Weinstein and Martel and Merle. We regard the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation as a line solitary wave of Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mat…

We study the eigenvalues of the self-adjoint Zakharov-Shabat operator corresponding to the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the inverse scattering method. Real eigenvalues exist when the square of the potential has a simple well. We derive two types of quantization condition for the eigenvalues by using the exact WKB method, and show that the eigenvalues stay real for a sufficiently small non-self-adjoint perturbation when the potential has some PT-like symmetry.
We are interested in the long time asymptotic behavoir of solutions to the scalar Zakharov system \[ i u_{t} + Δu = nu,\] \[n_{tt} - Δn= Δ|u|^2\] and the Klein-Gordon Zakharov system \[ u_{tt} - Δu + u = - nu,\] \[ n_{tt} - Δn= Δ|u|^2\] in one dimension of space. For these two systems, we give two results proving decay of solutions for initial data in the energy space. The first result deals with decay over compact intervals asuming smallness and parity conditions ($u$ odd). The second result proves decay in far field regions along curves for solutions whose growth can be dominated by an incre…
We prove dynamical dichotomy into scattering and blow-up (in a weak sense) for all radial solutions of the Zakharov system in the energy space of four spatial dimensions that have less energy than the ground state, which is written using the Aubin-Talenti function. The dichotomy is characterized by the critical mass of the wave component of the ground state. The result is similar to that by Kenig and Merle for the energy-critical nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS). Unlike NLS, however, the most difficult interaction in the proof stems from the free wave component. In order to control it, the…
We consider the final-state problem for the Zakharov system in the energy space in three space dimensions. For $(u_+, v_+) \in H^1 \times L^2$ without any size restriction, symmetry assumption or additional angular regularity, we perform a physical-space randomization on $u_+$ and an angular randomization on $v_+$ yielding random final states $(u_+^ω, v_+^ω)$. We obtain that for almost every $ω$, there is a unique solution of the Zakharov system scattering to the final state $(u_+^ω, v_+^ω)$. The key ingredient in the proof is the use of time-weighted norms and generalized Strichartz estimates…
In this paper, we investigate the instability of one-dimensionally stable periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation to long wavelength transverse perturbations in the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in two space dimensions. By deriving appropriate asymptotic expansions of the periodic Evans function, we derive an index which yields sufficient conditions for transverse instabilities to occur. This index is geometric in nature, and applies to any periodic traveling wave profile under some minor smoothness assumptions on the nonlinearity. We also desc…
In this paper, we construct center stable manifolds of unstable line solitary waves for the Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{T}_L$ and show the orbital stability of the unstable line solitary waves on the center stable manifolds, which yields the asymptotic stability of unstable solitary waves on the center stable manifolds near by stable line solitary waves. The construction is based on the graph transform approach by Nakanishi and Schlag. Applying the bilinear estimate on Fourier restriction spaces by Molinet and Pilod and modifying the mobile distance by Nakanishi a…
We study the Cauchy problem of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in spatial dimension $d \ge 5$ with initial datum $(u, \partial_t u, n, \partial_t n)|_{t=0} \in H^{s+1}(\mathbb{R}^d) \times H^s(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{H}^{s-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. The critical value of $s$ is $s_c=d/2-2$. By $U^2, V^2$ type spaces, we prove that the small data global well-posedness and scattering hold at $s=s_c$ in $d \ge 5$.
We analytically study the long time and large space asymptotics of a new broad class of solutions of the KdV equation introduced by Dyachenko, Zakharov, and Zakharov. These solutions are characterized by a Riemann--Hilbert problem which we show arises as the limit $N\to \infty$ of a gas of $N$-solitons. We show that this gas of solitons in the limit $N \to \infty$ is slowly approaching a cnoidal wave solution for $x \to - \infty$ (up to terms of order $\mathcal{O} (1/x)$), while approaching zero exponentially fast for $x\to+\infty$. We establish an asymptotic description of the gas of solitons…
We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in three spatial dimensions. The equation is a three-dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, though, not completely integrable. This equation is $L^2$-subcritical, and thus, solutions exist globally, for example, in the $H^1$ energy space. We first study stability of solitons with various perturbations in sizes and symmetry, and show asymptotic stability and formation of radiation, confirming the asymptotic stability result in \cite{FHRY2020} for a larger class of initial data. We then i…
This paper continues the study of the validity of the Zakharov model describing Langmuir turbulence. We give an existence theorem for a class of singular quasilinear equations. This theorem is valid for well-prepared initial data. We apply this result to the Euler-Maxwell equations describing laser-plasma interactions, to obtain, in a high-frequency limit, an asymptotic estimate that describes solutions of the Euler-Maxwell equations in terms of WKB approximate solutions which leading terms are solutions of the Zakharov equations. Because of transparency properties of the Euler-Maxwell equatio…
We study the Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in spatial dimension $d \ge 4$ with radial or non-radial initial datum $(u, \partial_t u, n, \partial_t n)|_{t=0}\in H^{s+1}(\mathbb{R}^d) \times H^s(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{H}^{s-1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. The critical value of $s$ is $s=s_c=d/2-2$. If the initial datum is radial, then we prove the small data global well-posedness and scattering at the critical space in $d \ge 4$ by applying the radial Strichartz estimates and $U^2, V^2$ type spaces. On the other hand, if the initial datum is non-radial,…
In this paper, we study large-time asymptotics for the complex modified Korteveg-de Vries equation \begin{equation} u_t + \frac{1}{2}u_{xxx}+3|u|^2 u_x=0, \end{equation} with the step-like initial data \begin{equation} u(x,0)=u_0(x)= \begin{cases} 0, & {x \ge 0,}\\ A e^{iBx}, &{x < 0.} \end{cases} \end{equation} It is shown that the step-like initial problem can be described by a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem. We apply the steepest descent method to obtain different large-time asymptotics in the the Zakharov-Manakov region, a plane wave region and a slow decay region.
In this paper, we prove the nonlinear orbital stability of the stationary traveling wave of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation by using Zakharov-Shabat's inverse scattering method.
In this paper we derive some new weakly nonlinear asymptotic models describing viscous waves in deep water with or without surface tension effects. These asymptotic models take into account several different dissipative effects and are obtained from the free boundary problems formulated in the works of Dias, Dyachenko and Zakharov (Physics Letters A, 2008), Jiang, Ting, Perlin and Schultz (Journal of Fluid Mechanics,1996) and Wu, Liu and Yue (Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2006).
We study a time-dependent scattering theory for Schrödinger operators on a manifold with asymptotically polynomially growing ends. We use the Mourre theory to show the spectral properties of self-adjoint second-order elliptic operators. We prove the existence and the asymptotic completeness of wave operators using the smooth perturbation theory of Kato. We also consider a two-space scattering with a simple reference system.
In this paper we consider Schröodinger operators with potentials of order zero on asymptotically conic manifolds. We prove the existence and the completeness of the wave operators with a naturally defined free Hamiltonian.
We review some recent results on the theory of scattering and more precisely on the local Cauchy problem at infinity in time for some long range nonlinear systems including some form of the Schr"odinger equation. We consider in particular the Wave-Schr"odinger system in space dimension 3, the Maxwell-Schr"odinger system in space dimension 3, the Klein-Gordon-Schr"odinger system in space dimension 2 and the Zakharov system in space dimensions 2 and 3. By the use of a direct method which is intrinsically restricted to the case of small Schr"odinger data and to the borderline long range case, one…
In this paper we describe characteristic properties of the scattering data of the compatible eigenvalue problem for the pair of differential equations related to the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation whose solution is defined in some half-strip $(0<x<\infty)\times[0,T]$, or in the quarter plane $(0<x<\infty)\times(0<t<\infty)$. We suppose that this solution has a $C^{\infty}$ initial function vanishing as $x\to\infty$, and $C^{\infty}$ boundary values, vanishing as $t\to\infty$ when $T=\infty$. We study the corresponding scattering problem for the compatible Zakharov-Shabat system of …
We focus here on the water waves problem for uneven bottoms in the long-wave regime, on an unbounded two or three-dimensional domain. In order to derive asymptotic models for this problem, we consider two different regimes of bottom topography, one for small variations in amplitude, and one for strong variations. Starting from the Zakharov formulation of this problem, we rigorously compute the asymptotics expansion of the involved Dirichlet-Neumann operator. then, following the global strategy introduced by Bona, Colin and Lannes, new symetric asymptotic models are derived for each regime of b…
