The Hausdorff dimension of an exceptional set of periods for which convergence of a formal solution to an inhomogeneous wave equation in n spatial and one temporal dimension is problematic, is determined along with conditions which the periods must satisfy to ensure the solvability of the inhomogeneous wave equation by a smooth periodic function. To derive this information, a complete metric theory for a related fully nonlinear Diophantine approximation problem involving perfect squares is established.
In this paper, we consider the steady MHD equations with inhomogeneous boundary conditions for the velocity and the tangential component of the magnetic field. Using a new construction of the magnetic lifting, we obtain existence of weak solutions under sharp assumption on boundary data for the magnetic field.
We study the inhomogeneous linear system which arises in the higher order asymptotic expansion of the wave functions of multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates, across the regular part of the interface, in the case of segregation.
In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity in presence of vacuum over bounded domains. Global-in-time unique strong solution is proved to exist when $\|\nabla u_0\|_{L^2}$ is suitably small with arbitrary large initial density. This generalizes all the previous results even for the constant viscosity.
We show the existence and the regularity properties of the weak solutions to the two-dimensional stationary incompressible inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations with variable viscosity coefficient, by analyzing a fourth-order nonlinear elliptic equation for the stream function. The density function and the viscosity coefficient may have large variations. In addition, we formulate the solutions for the parallel, concentric and radial flows respectively, and as examples we calculate the solutions with piecewise-constant viscosity coefficients explicitly.
In this paper, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of solution to d-dimensional (for $d=2,3$) incompressible inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations with initial density being bounded from above and below by some positive constants, and with initial velocity $u_0\in H^s(\R^2)$ for $s>0$ in 2-D, or $u_0\in H^1(\R^3)$ satisfying $|u_0|_{L^2}|\na u_0|_{L^2}$ being sufficiently small in 3-D. This in particular improves the most recent well-posedness result in [10], which requires the initial velocity $u_0\in H^2(\R^d)$ for the local well-posedness result, and a smallness condition on the fl…
In this work we study the evolution of the free boundary between two different fluids in a porous medium where the permeability is a two dimensional step function. The medium can fill the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ or a bounded strip $S=\mathbb{R}\times(-π/2,π/2)$. The system is in the stable regime if the denser fluid is below the lighter one. First, we show local existence in Sobolev spaces by means of energy method when the system is in the stable regime. Then we prove the existence of curves such that they start in the stable regime and in finite time they reach the unstable one. This chan…
Ericksen and Leslie established a theory to model the flow of nematic liquid crystals. This paper is devoted to the Cauchy Problem of a simplified version of their system, which retains most of the properties of the original one. We consider the density-dependent case and we establish the global existence of solutions in the whole space for small initial data. The initial density only has to be bounded and kept far from vacuum, while the initial velocity belongs to some critical Besov Space. Under a little bit more regularity for the initial velocity, we prove also that those solutions are uni…
In this paper, based on a proposed notion of generalized conjugate harmonic pairs in the framework of complex Clifford analysis, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of inhomogeneous perturbed generalized Moisil-Teodorescu systems in higher dimensional Euclidean spaces are proved. As an application, we derive corresponding solvability conditions for the inhomogeneous Maxwell's equations.
We obtain necessary conditions and sufficient conditions on the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a fractional semilinear heat equation with an inhomogeneous term. We identify the strongest spatial singularity of the inhomogeneous term for the solvability of the Cauchy problem.
We prove the unique weak solvability of stochastic differential equations with time-inhomogeneous drift in essentially the largest (scaling-invariant) Morrey class, i.e.\,with integrability parameter $q>1$ close to $1$. The constructed weak solutions constitute a Feller evolution family. The proofs are based on a detailed Sobolev regularity theory of the corresponding parabolic equation.
We obtain classification, solvability and nonexistence theorems for positive stationary states of reaction-diffusion and Schrödinger systems involving a balance between repulsive and attractive terms. This class of systems contains PDE arising in biological models of Lotka-Volterra type, in physical models of Bose-Einstein condensates and in models of chemical reactions. We show, with different proofs, that the results obtained in [ARMA, 213 (2014), 129-169] for models with homogeneous diffusion are valid for general heterogeneous media, and even for controlled inhomogeneous diffusions.
The diffraction of a plane wave by a transversely inhomogeneous isotropic nonmagnetic linearly polarized dielectric layer filled with a Kerr-type nonlinear medium is considered. The analytical and numerical solution techniques are developed. The diffraction problem is reduced to a singular boundary value problem for a semilinear second-order ordinary differential equation with a cubic nonlinearity and then to a cubic-nonlinear integral equation of the second kind and to a system of nonlinear operator equations of the second kind solved using iterations. Sufficient conditions of the unique solv…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem for the heat equation on cylindrical domains with a bounded and Lipschitz base $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a time-dependent separation $Λ$. Under certain mild regularity assumptions on $Λ$, we show that for any $q>1$ sufficiently close to 1, the mixed problem in $L_q$ is solvable. In other words, for any given Dirichlet data in the parabolic Riesz potential space $\mathcal{L}_q^1$ and the Neumann data in $L_q$, there is a unique solution and the non-tangential maximal function of its gradient is in $L_q$ on the lateral boundary of the domain. Wh…
The interior Dirichlet boundary value problem for the diffusion equation in non-homogeneous media is reduced to a system of Boundary-Domain Integral Equations (BDIEs) employing the parametrix obtained in (Fresneda-Portillo, 2019) different from (Chkadua et. al 2009). We further extend the results obtained in (Fresneda-Portillo, 2019) for the mixed problem in a smooth domain with $L^{2}(Ω)$ right hand side to Lipschitz domains and source term $f$ in the Sobolev space $H^{-1}(Ω)$, where neither the classical nor the canonical co-normal derivatives are well defined. Equivalence between the system…
Several negative results are presented concerning the solvability in Sobolev classes of the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous second-order uniformly parabolic equations without lower order terms in one space dimension. The main coefficient is assumed to be a bounded measurable function of $(t,x)$ bounded away from zero. We also discuss upper and lower estimates of certain kind on the fundamental solutions of such equations.
We define a class of pseudo-differential operators in a completely new way, which is called the abstract operators and expounded systematically the theory of abstract operators. By combining abstract operators with the Laplace transform, we can apply the Laplace transform to any $n+1$ dimensional linear higher-order partial differential equations $P(\partial_x,\partial_t)u=f(x,t)$ directly, without using the Fourier transform. By making introduction of abstract operators $G(\partial_x,t):=\mathcal{L}^{-1}[1/P(\partial_x,s)]$, the analytic solutions of initial value problems are expressed in th…
We prove the unique weak solvability of time-inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with additive noises and drifts in critical Lebsgue space $L^q([0,T]; L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^d))$ with $d/p+2/q=1$. The weak uniqueness is obtained by solving corresponding Kolmogorov's backward equations in some second order Sobolev spaces, which is analytically interesting in itself.
