We show that hyperbolicity is a necessary condition for the well posedness of the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem for nonlinear partial differential equations. We give conditions on the initial data which are necessary for the existence of solutions and we analyze Hadamard's instabilities in Sobolev spaces. We also show that genuinely nonlinear equations raise new interesting problems.
The aim of the paper is to investigate on some questions of local regularity of a suitable weak solution to the Navier-Stokes Cauchy problem. The results are obtained in the wake of the ones, well known, by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg.
In this note we obtain a unique continuation result for the differential inequality $|\bar{\partial}u|\leq|Vu|$, where $\bar{\partial}=(i\partial_y+\partial_x)/2$ denotes the Cauchy-Riemann operator and $V(x,y)$ is a function in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$.
In this paper, we study the solitary wave and the Cauchy problem for Half-wave-Schrödinger equations in the plane. First, we show the existence and orbital stability of the ground states. Secondly, we prove that traveling waves exist and converge to zero as the velocity tends to $1$. Finally, we solve the Cauchy problem for initial data in $L^{2}_{x}H^{s}_{y}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$, with $s>\frac{1}{2}$.
This paper is concerned with the large-time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional viscous radiative and reactive gas. Based on the elaborate energy estimates, we developed a new approach to derive the upper bound of the absolute temperature. Our results have improved the results obtained in Liao and Zhao [{\it J. Differential Equations} {\bf 265} (2018), no.5, 2076-2120].
We study two initial value problems of the linear diffusion equation and a nonlinear diffusion equation, when Cauchy data are bounded and oscillate mildly. The latter nonlinear heat equation is the equation of the curvature flow, when the moving curves are represented by graphs. By using an elementary scaling technique, we show some formulas for space-time behavior of the solution. Keywords: scaling argument, self-similar solution, nonstabilizing solution, nontrivial dynamics, nontrivial large-time behavior, irregular behavior.
In this paper, we consider in $R^n$ the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equation with initial data in Sobolev space $W^{s,p}$ for $p<2$. It is well known that this problem is ill posed. However, We show that after a linear transformation by the linear semigroup the problem becomes locally well posed in $W^{s,p}$ for $\frac{2n}{n+1}<p<2$ and $s>n(1-\frac{1}{p})$. Moreover, we show that in one space dimension, the problem is locally well posed in $L^p$ for any $1<p<2$.
We consider the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equa- tion with forcing. By using the vanishing viscosity method we obtain generalized solutions. We prove some regularity results about this generalized solutions.
We consider the Cauchy problem for heat equation with fractional Laplacian and exponential nonlinearity. We establish local well-posedness result in Orlicz spaces. We derive the existence of global solutions for small initial data. We obtain decay estimates for large time in Lebesgue spaces.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the initial data is in $\dot{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^d)\cap L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$. We prove local well-posedness for large ranges of $p$ and discuss some global well-posedness results.
In this note, we study the Cauchy problem of the linear spatially homogeneous Landau equation with soft potentials. We prove that the solution to the Cauchy problem enjoys the analytic regularizing effect of the time variable with an L2 initial datum for positive time. So that the smoothing effect of Cauchy problem for the linear spatially homogeneous Landau equation with soft potentials is similar to the heat equation.
We consider the Cauchy problem on a nonlinear conversation law with large initial data. By Green's function methods, energy methods, Fourier analysis, frequency decomposition, pseudo-differential operators, we obtain the global existence and the optimal decay estimate of $t$.
We prove that the Cauchy problem associated with the one dimensional quadratic (fractional) heat equation: $u_t=D_x^{2α} u \mp u^2,\; t\in (0,T),\; x\in \R$ or $ \T $, with $ 0<α\le 1 $ is well-posed in $ H^s $ for $ s\ge \max(-α,1/2-2α) $ except in the case $ α=1/2 $ where it is shown to be well-posed for $ s>-1/2 $ and ill-posed for $ s=-1/2 $. As a by-product we improve the known well-posedness results for the heat equation ($α=1$) by reaching the end-point Sobolev index $ s=-1 $. Finally, in the case $ 1/2<α\le 1 $, we also prove optimal results in the Besov spaces $B^{s,q}_2.$
In this note, we review some of the recent developments in the well-posedness theory of nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations with random initial data.
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a generalized integrable Camassa-Holm equation with both quadratic and cubic nonlinearity. By overcoming the difficulties caused by the complicated mixed nonlinear structure, we firstly establish the local well-posedness result in Besov spaces, and then present a precise blow-up scenario for strong solutions. Furthermore, we show the existence of single peakon by the method of analysis.
In this paper, the multipoint Cauchy problem for nonlocal nonlinear wave type equatıons are studied.The equation involves a convolution integral operator with a general kernel function whose Fourier transform is nonnegative. We establish local and global existence and uniqueness of solutions assuming enough smoothness on the initial data together with some growth conditions on the nonlinear term
We deal with an inverse problem arising in corrosion detection. The presence of corrosion damage is modeled by a nonlinear boundary condition on the inaccessible portion of the metal specimen. We propose a method for the approximate reconstruction of such a nonlinearity. A crucial step of this procedure, which encapsulates the major cause of the ill-posedness of the problem, consists of the solution of a Cauchy problem for an elliptic equation. For this purpose we propose an SVD approach.
A theorem is proved on the uniform estimation of the residual term of the asymptotic expansion with respect to a small parameter of the solution of the initial problem for a singularly perturbed differential operator weakly nonlinear transport equation in the critical case.
The purpose is to study the Cauchy problem for non-linear in time and space pseudo-differential equations. These include the fractional in time versions of HJB equations governing the controlled scaled CTRW. As a preliminary step which is of independent interest we analyse the corresponding linear equation proving its well-posedness and smoothing properties.
It is shown that the Cauchy problem for the DNLS equation in the spatially periodic setting is locally well-posed in Sobolev spaces H^s(T) for s \geq 1/2. Moreover, global well-posedness is shown for s \geq 1 and data with small L^2 norm.
We study a class of higher-order KdV equations. We show that the associated initial value problem is well posed in weighted Besov and Sobolev spaces for small initial data. We also prove ill-posedness results when in H^s(\R), for any real s.
We study Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon (HNLKG), wave (HNLW) and Schrödinger (HNLS) equations with cubic convolution (Hartree type) nonlinearity. Some global well-posedness and scattering are obtained for the (HNLKG) and (HNLS) with small Cauchy data in some modulation spaces. Global well-posedness for fractional Schrödinger (fNLSH) equation with Hartree type nonlinearity is obtained with Cauchy data in some modulation spaces. Local well-posedness for (HNLW), (fHNLS) and (HNLKG) with rough data in modulation spaces is shown. This improves known results in Sobolev spaces in some sense. As …
In this paper, we establish a standard $L^p$-theory of solutions to one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the power like nonlinearity. More precisely, we extend the following three well-known results in the $L^2$ space into $L^p$ setting: 1. Large data local well-posedness for subcritical nonlinearities, 2. Small data global well-posedness for critical nonlinearities, 3. Large data global well-posedness if the subcritical nonlinearity is given by $|u|^{α-1}u$.
In this paper we consider the Schr{ö}dinger equation with nonlinear derivative term. Our goal is to initiate the study of this equation with non vanishing boundary conditions. We obtain the local well posedness for the Cauchy problem on Zhidkov spaces X k (R) and in $ϕ$ + H k (R). Moreover, we prove the existence of conservation laws by using localizing functions. Finally, we give explicit formulas for stationary solutions on Zhidkov spaces.
The Cauchy- and periodic boundary value problem for the nonlinear Schroedinger equations in $n$ space dimensions [u_t - iΔu = (\nabla \bar{u})^β, |β|=m \ge 2, u(0)=u_0 \in H^{s+1}_x] is shown to be locally well posed for $s > s_c := \frac{n}{2} - \frac{1}{m-1}$, $s \ge 0$. In the special case of space dimension $n=1$ a global $L^2$-result is obtained for NLS with the nonlinearity $N(u)= \partial_x (\bar{u} ^2)$. The proof uses the Fourier restriction norm method.
We present a sufficient condition under which a weak solution of the Euler-Lagrange equations in nonlinear elasticity is already a global minimizer of the corresponding elastic energy functional. This criterion is applicable to energies $W(F)=\widehat{W}(F^TF)=\widehat{W}(C)$ which are convex with respect to the right Cauchy-Green tensor $C=F^TF$, where $F$ denotes the gradient of deformation. Examples of such energies exhibiting a blow up for $\det F\to0$ are given.
We study the wellposedness of Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equations i\partial_t u=-\epsΔu+Δ^2 u+P((\partial_x^αu)_{\absα\ls 2}, (\partial_x^α\bar{u})_{\absα\ls 2}),\quad t\in \Real, x\in\Real^n, where $\eps\in\{-1,0,1\}$, $n\gs 2$ denotes the spatial dimension and $P(\cdot)$ is a polynomial excluding constant and linear terms.
This paper studies the Cauchy problem for a one-dimensional nonlinear peridynamic model describing the dynamic response of an infinitely long elastic bar. The issues of local well-posedness and smoothness of the solutions are discussed. The existence of a global solution is proved first in the sublinear case and then for nonlinearities of degree at most three. The conditions for finite-time blow-up of solutions are established.
In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for the energy-critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation $i\partial_{t}u+Δu=λ|x|^{-α}|u|^βu$ in $H^1$. The well-posedness theory in $H^1$ has been intensively studied in recent years, but the currently known approaches do not work for the critical case $β=(4-2α)/(n-2)$. It is still an open problem. The main contribution of this paper is to develop the theory in this case.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with derivative nonlinearity $(i\partial _t + Δ^2) u= \pm \partial (|u|^2u)$ on $\mathbb{R} ^d$, $d \ge 3$, with random initial data, where $\partial$ is a first order derivative with respect to the spatial variable, for example a linear combination of $\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1} , \, \dots , \, \frac{\partial}{\partial x_d}$ or $|\nabla |= \mathcal{F}^{-1}[|ξ| \mathcal{F}]$. We prove that almost sure local in time well-posedness, small data global in time well-posedness and scattering hold in $H^s(\mathbb{R}…
Motivated by applications to vortex rings, we study the Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations without swirl, using scale invariant function spaces. If the axisymmetric vorticity is integrable with respect to the two-dimensional measure dr dz, where (r,θ,z) denote the cylindrical coordinates in R^3, we show the existence of a unique global solution, which converges to zero in L^1 norm as time goes to infinity. The proof of local well-posedness follows exactly the same lines as in the two-dimensional case, and our approach emphasizes the similarity between…
We proved the local well-posedness for the power-type nonlinear semi-relativistic or half-wave equation (NLHW) in Sobolev spaces. Our proofs mainly bases on the contraction mapping argument using Strichartz estimate. We also apply the technique of Christ-Colliander- Tao in \cite{ChristCollianderTao} to prove the ill-posedness for (NLHW) in some cases of the super-critical range.
We investigate a one-dimensional nonlinear wave system which arises from a variational principle modeling a type of cholesteric liquid crystals. The problem treated here is the Cauchy problem for the same wave speed case with initial data on the parabolic degenerating line. By introducing a partial hodograph transformation, we establish the local existence of smooth solutions in a weighted metric space based on the iteration method. A classical solution of the primary problem is constructed by converting the solution in the partial hodograph variables to that in the original variables.
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the quadratic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2$ with the nonlinearity $η|u|^2$ where $η\in \mathbb{C} \setminus \{0\}$ and low regularity initial data. If $s < -1/4$, the ill-posedness result in the Sobolev space $H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is known. We will prove the well-posedness in $H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $-1/2 < s < -1/4$ by assuming some angular regularity on initial data. The key tools are the modified Fourier restriction norm and the convolution estimate on thickened hypersurfaces.
We establish the local well-posedness for a new nonlinearly dispersive wave equation and we show that the equation has solutions that exist for indefinite times as well as solutions which blowup in finite times. Furthermore, we derive an explosion criterion for the equation and we give a sharp estimate from below for the existence time of solutions with smooth initial data.
We consider the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schrodinger equations in the presence of a smooth, possibly unbounded, potential. No assumption is made on the sign of the potential. If the potential grows at most linearly at infinity, we construct solutions in Sobolev spaces (without weight), locally in time. Under some natural assumptions, we prove that the $H^1$-solutions are global in time. On the other hand, if the potential has a super-linear growth, then the Sobolev regularity of positive order is lost instantly, not matter how large it is, unless the initial datum decays sufficiently fast …
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the Cauchy problem of a general class of two-dimensional nonlinear nonlocal wave equations governing anti-plane shear motions in nonlocal elasticity. The nonlocal nature of the problem is reflected by a convolution integral in the space variables. The Fourier transform of the convolution kernel is nonnegative and satisfies a certain growth condition at infinity. For initial data in $L^{2}$ Sobolev spaces, conditions for global existence or finite time blow-up of the solutions of the Cauchy problem are established.
In this work I study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem associated with the coupled Schrödinger equations {with quadratic nonlinearities}, which appears modeling problems in nonlinear optics. I obtain the local well-posedness for data {in Sobolev spaces} with low regularity. {To obtain} the local theory, I prove new bilinear estimates for the coupling terms of the system in the continuous case. Concerning global results, in the continuous case, I establish the global well-posedness in $H^s(\mathbb{R})\times H^s(\mathbb{R})$, for some negatives indexes $s$. The proof of the global result …
Let $u$ be a solution of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear parabolic equation $$ \partial_t u=Δu+F(x,t,u,\nabla u) \quad in \quad{\bf R}^N\times(0,\infty), \quad u(x,0)=φ(x)\quad in \quad{\bf R}^N, $$ and assume that the solution $u$ behaves like the Gauss kernel as $t\to\infty$. In this paper, under suitable assumptions of the reaction term $F$ and the initial function $φ$, we establish the method of obtaining higher order asymptotic expansions of the solution $u$ as $t\to\infty$. This paper is a generalization of our previous paper, and our arguments are applicable to the large class of n…
We study the Cauchy problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation $$ i\partial_tu = (m^2-Δ)^\frac\alpha2 u + F(u) in \mathbb{R}^{1+n}, $$ where $ n \ge 1$, $m \ge 0$, $1 < α< 2$, and $F$ stands for the nonlinearity of Hartree type: $$F(u) = λ(\frac{ψ(\cdot)}{|\cdot|^γ} * |u|^2)u$$ with $λ= \pm1, 0 <γ< n$, and $0 \le ψ\in L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$. We prove the existence and uniqueness of local and global solutions for certain $α$, $γ$, $λ$, $ψ$. We also remark on finite time blowup of solutions when $λ= -1$.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with derivative nonlinearity $(i\partial _t + Δ) u= \pm \partial (\overline{u}^m)$ on $\R ^d$, $d \ge 1$, with random initial data, where $\partial$ is a first order derivative with respect to the spatial variable, for example a linear combination of $\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1} , \, \dots , \, \frac{\partial}{\partial x_d}$ or $|\nabla |= \mathcal{F}^{-1}[|ξ| \mathcal{F}]$. We prove that almost sure local in time well-posedness, small data global in time well-posedness and scattering hold in $H^s(\R ^d)$ with $s> \max \le…
In this paper, we study the viscous Boussinesq equation in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$, which describes the propagation of small amplitude and long waves on the surface of water with viscous effects. Concerning the linearized Cauchy problem, some qualitative properties of solutions including $L^m-L^q$ estimates with $1\leqslant m\leqslant q\leqslant \infty$, inviscid limits and asymptotic profiles of solution with respect to the small viscosity are investigated by means of the Fourier analysis and the WKB method. For another, by applying some fractional order interpolations in the harmonic …
We study the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation and establish the large data local well-posedness and small data global well-posedness with slowly decaying initial data. We also prove that the asymptotic profile of the global solution is given by a solution of the corresponding parabolic problem, which shows that the solution of the damped wave equation has the diffusion phenomena. Moreover, we show blow-up of solution and give the estimate of the lifespan for a subcritical nonlinearity. In particular, we determine the critical exponent for any space dimension.
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation whose nonlinearity is $|u|^{k}u$ in the modulation space, where $k$ is not an integer. Our method can be applied to other equations whose nonlinear parts have regularity estimates. We also study the global solution with small initial value for the Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation. By this we can show some advantages of modulation spaces both in high and low regularity cases.
We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation of power-type on $\mathbb{R}^3$. We establish an almost sure global existence result with respect to a suitable randomization of the initial data. In particular, this provides examples of initial data of super-critical regularity which lead to global solutions. The proof is based upon Bourgain's high-low frequency decomposition and improved averaging effects for the free evolution of the randomized initial data.
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the critical inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger (INLS) equation \[iu_{t} +Δu=|x|^{-b} f(u), ~u(0)=u_{0} \in H^{s} (\mathbb R^{n} ),\] where $n\ge3$, $1\le s<\frac{n}{2} $, $0<b<2$ and $f(u)$ is a nonlinear function that behaves like $λ\left|u\right|^{σ} u$ with $λ\in \mathbb C$ and $σ=\frac{4-2b}{n-2s} $. We establish the local well-posedness as well as the small data global well-posedness and scattering in $H^{s} (\mathbb R^{n} )$ with $1\le s<\frac{n}{2}$ for the critical INLS equation under some assumption on $b$. To this end, we first establi…
In this paper, we study the decay rate in time to solutions of the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case that the flux function which is convex and also the viscosity is a nonlinearly degenerate one (p-Laplacian type viscosity). As the corresponding Riemann problem admits a Riemann solution as the constant state or the single rarefaction wave, it has already been proved by Matsumura-Nishihara that the solution to the Cauchy problem tends toward the constant state or the single rarefaction wav…
We prove uniform parabolic Hölder estimates of De Giorgi-Nash-Moser type for sequences of minimizers of the functionals \[ \mathcal{E}_\varepsilon(W) = \int_0^\infty \frac{e^{- t/\varepsilon}}{\varepsilon} \bigg\{ \int_{\mathbb{R}_+^{N+1}} y^a \left( \varepsilon|\partial_t W|^2 + |\nabla W|^2 \right) dX + \int_{\mathbb{R}^N \times\{0\}} Φ(w) dx \bigg\}dt, \qquad \varepsilon \in (0,1) \] where $a \in (-1,1)$ is a fixed parameter, $\mathbb{R}_+^{N+1}$ is the upper half-space and $dX = dxdy$. As a consequence, we deduce the existence and Hölder regularity of weak solutions to a class of weighted …
In this paper, a maximum principle for the one-dimensional sub-diffusion equation with Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative is formulated and proved. The proof of the maximum principle is based on an extremum principle for the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative that is given in the paper, too. The maximum principle is then applied to show that the initial-boundary-value problem for the linear and nonlinear time-fractional diffusion equations possesses at most one classical solution and this solution continuously depends on the initial and boundary conditions.
To study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to Cauchy-type problems for fractional q-difference equations with the bi-ordinal Hilfer fractional q-derivative which is an extension of the Hilfer fractional q-derivative. An approach is based on the equivalence of the nonlinear Cauchy-type problem with a nonlinear Volterra q-integral equation of the second kind. Applying an analog of Banach fixed point theorem we prove the uniqueness and the existence of the solution. Moreover, we present an explicit solution to the q-analog of the Cauchy problem for the linear case.
We use a method developed by Strauss to obtain global wellposedness results in the mild sense for the small data Cauchy problem in modulation spaces $M_{p,q}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $q=1$ and $s\geq0$ or $q\in(1,\infty]$ and $s>\frac{d}{q'}$ for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher order anisotropic dispersion and algebraic nonlinearities.
We define and study a generalization of the analytic Cauchy problem, that specializes to the Cauchy-Kowaleskaya-Kashiwara problem in the linear case. The main leitmotive of this text is to adapt Kashiwara's formulation of this problem both to the relatively D-algebraic case and to the derived analytic situation. Along the way, we define the characteristic variety of a derived nonlinear partial differential system.
We study the periodic Cauchy problem for an integrable equation with cubic nonlinearities introduced by V. Novikov. Like the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations, Novikov's equation has Lax pair representations and admits peakon solutions, but it has nonlinear terms that are cubic, rather than quadratic. We show the local well-posedness of the problem in Sobolev spaces and existence and uniqueness of solutions for all time using orbit invariants. Furthermore we prove a Cauchy-Kowalevski type theorem for this equation, that establishes the existence and uniqueness of real analytic solu…
We consider a Cauchy problem for an overdetermined system of PDEs, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of this Cauchy problem for all data. As an application, we find all real tube hypersurfaces in complex space whose Levi number is maximal.
