where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain, $p\geq 2$. Firstly, under suitable assumptions on $\rho$, if $g$ is at most mass-critical at infinity, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions. Secondly, for $\rho$ large, if $g$ is mass-supercritical, we perform a blow-up analysis to show the nonexistence of finite Morse index solutions. At last, for $\rho$ suitably small, combining with the monotonicity argument, we obtain a multiplicity result. In particular, when $p=2$, we obtain the existence of infinitely many normalized solutions.
We study the existence and multiplicity of positive bounded solutions for a class of nonlocal, non-variational elliptic problems governed by a nonhomogeneous operator with unbalanced growth, specifically the double phase operator. To tackle these challenges, we employ a combination of analytical techniques, including the sub-super solution method, variational and truncation approaches, and set-valued analysis. Furthermore, we examine a one-dimensional fixed-point problem.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first workaddressing nonlocal double phase problems using these methods.
This paper is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of a family of solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation called general rogue waves of infinite order. These solutions have recently been shown to describe various limit processes involving large-amplitude waves, and they have also appeared in some physical models not directly connected with nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We establish the following key property of these solutions: they are all in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ with respect to the spatial variable but they exhibit anomalously slow temporal decay. In this paper, we define general rogue waves of infinite order, establish their basic exact and asymptotic properties, and provide computational tools for calculating them accurately.
The Cahn–Hilliard model with reaction terms can lead to situations in which no coarsening is taking place and, in contrast, growth and division of droplets occur which all do not grow larger than a certain size. This phenomenon has been suggested as a model for protocells, and a model based on the modified Cahn–Hilliard equation has been formulated. We introduce this equation and show the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Then, formally matched asymptotic expansions are used to identify a sharp interface limit using a scaling of the reaction term, which becomes singular when the interfacial thickness tends to zero. We compute planar solutions and study their stability under non-planar perturbations. Numerical computations for the suggested model are used to validate the sharp interface asymptotics. In addition, the numerical simulations show that the reaction terms lead to diverse phenomena such as growth and division of droplets in the obtained solutions, as well as the formation of shell-like structures.
where $2_{s}^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2s}$, $s\in(\frac{1}{2},1)$, $N \gt 2s$, Ω is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, ɛ is a small parameter, and the boundary Σ is given in different ways according to the different definitions of the fractional Laplacian operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$. The operator $(-\Delta)^{s}$ is defined in two types: the spectral fractional Laplacian and the restricted fractional Laplacian. For the spectral case, Σ stands for $\partial \Omega$; for the restricted case, Σ is $\mathbb{R}^{N}\setminus \Omega$. Firstly, we provide a positive confirmation of the fractional Brezis–Peletier conjecture, that is, the above almost critical problem has a single bubbling solution concentrating around the non-degenerate critical point of the Robin function. Furthermore, the non-degeneracy andlocal uniqueness of this bubbling solution are established.
where $a\geq 0$, b > 0, the function V(x) is a trapping potential in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^3$, $\beta^*:=\frac{b}{2}|Q|_2^{\frac{8}{3}}$ and Q is the unique positive radially symmetric solution of equation $-2\Delta u+\frac{1}{3}u-|u|^{\frac{8}{3}}u=0$ in $\mathbb R^3.$ We consider the existence of constraint minimizers for the associated energy functional involving the parameter a. The minimizer corresponds to the normalized ground state of above problem, and it exists if and only if a > 0. Moreover, when V(x) attains its flattest global minimum at an inner point or only at the boundary of Ω, we analyze the fine limit profiles of the minimizers as $a\searrow 0$, including mass concentration at an inner point or near the boundary of Ω. In particular, we further establish the local uniqueness of the minimizer if it is concentrated at a unique inner point.
We study the long time dynamic properties of the nonlocal Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS) equation with multiplicative white noise. First, we consider the dynamic properties of the stochastic nonlocal KS equation via a transformation into the associated conjugated random differential equation. Next, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for the conjugated random differential equation in the theory of random dynamical systems. We also establish the existence and uniqueness of a random attractor for the stochastic nonlocal equation.
Where $N\geq 3$, $\omega,\lambda \gt 0$, $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N}, \frac{N+\alpha}{N-2}\right)\setminus\left\{\frac{N+\alpha+2}{N}\right\}$ and µ will appear as a Lagrange multiplier. We assume that $0\leq V\in L^{\infty}_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ has a bottom $int V^{-1}(0)$ composed of $\ell_0$$(\ell_{0}\geq1)$ connected components $\{\Omega_i\}_{i=1}^{\ell_0}$, where $int V^{-1}(0)$ is the interior of the zero set $V^{-1}(0)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^N| V(x)=0\}$ of V. It is worth pointing out that the penalization technique is no longer applicable to the local sublinear case $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N},2\right)$. Therefore, we develop a new variational method in which the two deformation flows are established that reflect the properties of the potential. Moreover, we find a critical point without introducing a penalization term and give the existence result for $p\in \left(\frac{N+\alpha}{N}, \frac{N+\alpha}{N-2}\right)\setminus\left\{\frac{N+\alpha+2}{N}\right\}$. When ω is fixed and satisfies $\omega^{\frac{-(p-1)}{-Np+N+\alpha+2}}$ sufficiently small, we construct a $\ell$-bump $(1\leq\ell\leq \ell_{0})$ positive normalization solution, which concentrates at $\ell$ prescribed components $\{\Omega_i\}^{\ell}_{i=1}$ for large λ. We also consider the asymptotic profile of the solutions as $\lambda\rightarrow\infty$ and $\omega^{\frac{-(p-1)}{-Np+N+\alpha+2}}\rightarrow 0$.
where $\alpha,\beta$ are real parameters, $n \gt 2,\, q \gt k\geqslant 1$ and $S_k(D^2v)$ stands for the k-Hessian operator of v. Our results are based mainly on the analysis of an associated dynamical system and energy methods. We derive some properties of the solutions of the above equation for different ranges of the parameters α and β. In particular, we describe with precision its asymptotic behaviour at infinity. Further, according to the position of q with respect to the first critical exponent $\frac{(n+2)k}{n}$ and the Tso critical exponent $\frac{(n+2)k}{n-2k}$ we study the existence of three classes of solutions: crossing, slow decay or fast decay solutions. In particular, if k > 1 all the fast decay solutions have a compact support in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The results also apply to construct self-similar solutions of type I to a related nonlinear evolution equation. These are self-similar functions of the form $u(t,x)=t^{-\alpha}v(xt^{-\beta})$ with suitable α and β.
We consider the propagation dynamics of a single species with a birth pulse and living in a shifting environment driven by climate change. We describe how birth pulse and environment shift jointly impact the propagation properties. We show that a moderate environment shifting speed promotes the spatial–temporal propagation represented by a stable forced KPP wave, and that the birth pulse shrinks the survival region.
We consider the asymptotics of long-time behavior of a solution u of the semilinear parabolic problem $\partial _tu=\Delta u-u+u|u|^{p-2}$ in ${\mathbb {R}^N}\times (0,\infty )$, $u(0)=u_0\in H^1({\mathbb {R}^N})\cap L^\infty ({\mathbb {R}^N})$. Since the spatial domain on which the problem is posed is noncompact, we cannot expect the relative compactness of the solution orbit, e.g., in $H^1({\mathbb {R}^N})$ in general. In this article, we prove that the compactness of the orbit holds up to the ground state energy level, namely, if $\lim _{t\to \infty }I(u(t))\leq d_\infty $, where I is the energy functional associated with (P) and $d_\infty $ its ground state energy, then the orbit of $u(t)$ is compact in $H^1({\mathbb {R}^N})$. Our result includes the previous results in [4, 5].
In this article, we consider the global-in-time existence and singularity formation of smooth solutions for the radially symmetric relativistic Euler equations of polytropic gases. We introduce the rarefaction/compression character variables for the supersonic expanding wave with relativity and derive their Riccati type equations to establish a series of priori estimates of solutions by the characteristic method and the invariant domain idea. It is verified that, for rarefactive initial data with vacuum at the origin, smooth solutions will exist globally. On the other hand, the smooth solution develops a singularity in finite time when the initial data are compressed and include strong compression somewhere.
We consider radially symmetric solutions of the degenerate Keller–Segel system
\begin{align*}\begin{cases}\partial_t u=\nabla\cdot (u^{m-1}\nabla u - u\nabla v),\\0=\Delta v -\mu +u,\quad\mu =\frac{1}{|\Omega|}\int_\Omega u,\end{cases}\end{align*}
in balls $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 1$, where m > 1 is arbitrary. Our main result states that the initial evolution of the positivity set of u is essentially determined by the shape of the (nonnegative, radially symmetric, Hölder continuous) initial data u0 near the boundary of its support $\overline{B_{r_1}(0)}\subsetneq\Omega$: It shrinks for sufficiently flat and expands for sufficiently steep u0. More precisely, there exists an explicit constant $A_{\mathrm{crit}} \in (0, \infty)$ (depending only on $m, n, R, r_1$ and $\int_\Omega u_0$) such that if $u_0(x)\le A(r_1-|x|)^\frac{1}{m-1}$ for all $|x|\in(r_0, r_1)$ and some $r_0\in(0,r_1)$ and $A \lt A_{\mathrm{crit}}$ then there are T > 0 and ζ > 0 such that $\sup\{\, |x| \mid x \in \operatorname{supp} u(\cdot, t)\,\}\le r_1 -\zeta t$ for all $t\in(0, T)$, while if $u_0(x)\ge A(r_1-|x|)^\frac{1}{m-1}$ for all $|x|\in(r_0, r_1)$ and some $r_0 \in (0, r_1)$ and $A \gt A_{\mathrm{crit}}$ then we can find T > 0 and ζ > 0 such that $\sup\{\, |x| \mid x \in \operatorname{supp} u(\cdot, t)\,\}\ge r_1 +\zeta t$ for all $t\in(0, T)$.
The aim of this paper is to illustrate both analytically and numerically the interplay of two fundamentally distinct non-Hermitian mechanisms in the deep subwavelength regime. Considering a parity-time symmetric system of one-dimensional subwavelength resonators equipped with two kinds of non-Hermiticity – an imaginary gauge potential and on-site gain and loss – we prove that all but two eigenmodes of the system pass through exceptional points and decouple. By tuning the gain-to-loss ratio, the system changes from a phase with unbroken parity-time symmetry to a phase with broken parity-time symmetry. At the macroscopic level, this is observed as a transition from symmetrical eigenmodes to condensated eigenmodes at one edge of the structure. Mathematically, it arises from a topological state change. The results of this paper open the door to the justification of a variety of phenomena arising from the interplay between non-Hermitian reciprocal and nonreciprocal mechanisms not only in subwavelength wave physics but also in quantum mechanics, where the tight-binding model coupled with the nearest neighbour approximation can be analysed with the same tools as those developed here.
This paper develops a geometric and analytical framework for studying the existence and stability of pinned pulse solutions in a class of non-autonomous reaction–diffusion equations. The analysis relies on geometric singular perturbation theory, matched asymptotic method and nonlocal eigenvalue problem method. First, we derive the general criteria on the existence and spectral (in)stability of pinned pulses in slowly varying heterogeneous media. Then, as a specific example, we apply our theory to a heterogeneous Gierer–Meinhardt (GM) equation, where the nonlinearity varies slowly in space. We identify the conditions on parameters under which the pulse solutions are spectrally stable or unstable. It is found that when the heterogeneity vanishes, the results for the heterogeneous GM system reduce directly to the known results on the homogeneous GM system. This demonstrates the validity of our approach and highlights how the spatial heterogeneity gives rise to richer pulse dynamics compared to the homogeneous case.
In this article, we consider a fully nonlinear equation associated with the Christoffel–Minkowski problem in hyperbolic space. By using the full rank theorem, we establish the existence of h-convex solutions when the prescribed functions on the right-hand side are under some appropriate assumption.
This article studies the optimal boundary regularity of harmonic maps between a class of asymptotically hyperbolic spaces. To be precise, given any smooth boundary map with nowhere vanishing energy density, this article provides an asymptotic expansion formula for harmonic maps under the assumption of $C^1$ up to the boundary.
where $N \geq 2$, $1/2 \lt s \lt 1$, and $0 \lt \sigma \lt 2s/(N-2s)$. In the mass critical and supercritical cases, we establish a criterion for blow-up of solutions to the problem for cylindrically symmetric data. The results extend the known ones with respect to blow-up of solutions to the problem for radially symmetric data.
It was proved in [11, J. Funct. Anal., 2020] that the Cauchy problem for some Oldroyd-B model is well-posed in $\dot{B}^{d/p-1}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{B}^{d/p}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with $1\leq p \lt 2d$. In this paper, we prove that the Cauchy problem for the same Oldroyd-B model is ill-posed in $\dot{B}^{d/p-1}_{p,r}(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \dot{B}^{d/p}_{p,r}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with $1\leq p\leq \infty$ and $1 \lt r\leq\infty$ due to the lack of continuous dependence of the solution.
where $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $\lambda_i\in (0,\Lambda_N), \Lambda_N:= \frac{(N-2)^2}{4}$, and $\beta_{ij}=\beta_{ji}$ for i ≠ j. By virtue of variational methods, we establish the existence and nonexistence of least energy solutions for the purely cooperative case ($\beta_{ij} \gt 0$ for any i ≠ j) and the simultaneous cooperation and competition case ($\beta_{i_{1}j_{1}} \gt 0$ and $\beta_{i_{2}j_{2}} \lt 0$ for some $(i_{1}, j_{1})$ and $(i_{2}, j_{2})$). Moreover, it is shown that fully nontrivial ground state solutions exist when $\beta_{ij}\ge0$ and $N\ge5$, but NOT in the weakly pure cooperative case ($\beta_{ij} \gt 0$ and small, i ≠ j) when $N=3,4$. We emphasize that this reveals that the existence of ground state solutions differs dramatically between $N=3, 4$ and higher dimensions $N\geq 5$. In particular, the cases of N = 3 and $N\geq 5$ are more complicated than the case of N = 4 and the proofs heavily depend on the dimension. Some novel tricks are introduced for N = 3 and $N\ge5$.
