Cross-shaped and Degenerate Singularities in an Unstable Elliptic Free Boundary Problem

DOI：: 10.1016/j.jde.2005.11.008

英文摘要：

We investigate singular and degenerate behavior of solutions of the unstable free boundary problem $$Δu = -χ_{\{u>0\}} .$$ First, we construct a solution that is not of class $C^{1,1}$ and whose free boundary consists of four arcs meeting in a {\em cross}-shaped singularity. This solution is completely unstable/repulsive from above and below which would make it hard to get by the usual methods, and even numerics is non-trivial. We also show existence of a degenerate solution. This answers two of the open questions in a recent paper by R. Monneau-G.S. Weiss.

Solutions to the Monge-Ampère equation with polyhedral and Y-shaped singularities

We construct convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are smooth solutions to the Monge-Ampère equation $\det D^2u = 1$ away from compact one-dimensional singular sets, which can be Y-shaped or form the edges of a convex polytope. The examples solve the equation in the Alexandrov sense away from finitely many points. Our approach is based on solving an obstacle problem where the graph of the obstacle is a convex polytope.

Uniform Regularity close to Cross Singularities in an Unstable Free Boundary Problem

We introduce a new method for the analysis of singularities in the unstable problem $$Δu = -χ_{\{u>0\}},$$ which arises in solid combustion as well as in the composite membrane problem. Our study is confined to points of "supercharacteristic" growth of the solution, i.e. points at which the solution grows faster than the characteristic/invariant scaling of the equation would suggest. At such points the classical theory is doomed to fail, due to incompatibility of the invariant scaling of the equation and the scaling of the solution. In the case of two dimensions our result shows that in a neig…

Calabi-Yau metrics with cone singularities along intersecting complex lines: the unstable case

We produce local Calabi-Yau metrics on $\mathbf C^2$ with conical singularities along three or more complex lines through the origin whose cone angles strictly violate the Troyanov condition. The tangent cone at the origin is a flat polyhedral Kähler cone with conical singularities along two intersecting lines: one with cone angle corresponding to the line with smallest cone angle, while the other forms as the collision of the remaining lines into a single conical line. Using a branched covering argument, we can construct Calabi-Yau metrics with cone singularities along cuspidal curves with co…

Qualitative properties of saddle-shaped solutions to bistable diffusion equations

We consider the elliptic equation $-Δu = f(u)$ in the whole $\R^{2m}$, where $f$ is of bistable type. It is known that there exists a saddle-shaped solution in $\R^{2m}$. This is a solution which changes sign in $\R^{2m}$ and vanishes only on the Simons cone ${\mathcal C}=\{(x^1,x^2)\in\R^m\times\R^m: |x^1|=|x^2|\}$. It is also known that these solutions are unstable in dimensions 2 and 4. In this article we establish that when $2m=6$ every saddle-shaped solution is unstable outside of every compact set and, as a consequence has infinite Morse index. For this we establish the asymptotic behavi…

An Unstable Elliptic Free Boundary Problem arising in Solid Combustion

We prove a regularity result for the unstable elliptic free boundary problem $Δu = -χ_{\{u>0\}}$ related to traveling waves in a problem arising in solid combustion. The maximal solution and every local minimizer of the energy are regular, that is, $\{u=0\}$ is locally an analytic surface and $u|_{\bar{\{u>0\}}}, u|_{\bar{\{u<0\}}}$ are locally analytic functions. Moreover we prove a partial regularity result for solutions that are non-degenerate of second order: here $\{u=0\}$ is analytic up to a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $n-2$. We discuss possible singularities.

On the singularities of a free boundary through Fourier expansion

In this paper we are concerned with singular points of solutions to the {\it unstable} free boundary problem $$ Δu = - χ_{\{u>0\}} \qquad \hbox{in} B_1. $$ The problem arises in applications such as solid combustion, composite membranes, climatology and fluid dynamics. It is known that solutions to the above problem may exhibit singularities - that is points at which the second derivatives of the solution are unbounded - as well as degenerate points. This causes breakdown of by-now classical techniques. Here we introduce new ideas based on Fourier expansion of the nonlinearity $χ_{\{u>0\}} $. …

On turning waves for the inhomogeneous Muskat problem: a computer-assisted proof

We exhibit a family of graphs that develop turning singularities (i.e. their Lipschitz seminorm blows up and they cease to be a graph, passing from the stable to the unstable regime) for the inhomogeneous, two-phase Muskat problem where the permeability is given by a nonnegative step function. We study the influence of different choices of the permeability and different boundary conditions (both at infinity and considering finite/infinite depth) in the development or prevention of singularities for short time. In the general case (inhomogeneous, confined) we prove a bifurcation diagram concern…

A catalogue of singularities

This paper is an attempt to classify finite-time singularities of PDEs. Most of the problems considered describe free-surface flows, which are easily observed experimentally. We consider problems where the singularity occurs at a point, and where typical scales of the solution shrink to zero as the singularity is approached. Upon a similarity transformation, exact self-similar behaviour is mapped to the fixed point of a {\it infinite dimensional dynamical system} representing the original dynamics. We show that the dynamics close to the fixed point is a useful way classifying the structure of …

In search of local singularities in ideal potential flows with free surface

For ideal fluid flow with zero surface tension and gravity, it remains unknown whether local singularities on the free surface can develop in well-posed initial value problems with smooth initial data. This is so despite great advances over the last 25 years in the mathematical analysis of the Euler equations for water waves. Here we expand our earlier work (Chin. Ann. Math. Ser. B 40 (2019) 925) and review the mathematical literature and some of the history concerning Dirichlet's ellipsoids and related hyperboloids associated with jet formation and "flip-through," "splash singularities," and …
