We consider the operator in , of the form with a function periodic with respect to a lattice in . We prove that the number of gaps in the spectrum of is finite if . Previously the finiteness of the number of gaps was known for . Various approaches to this problem are discussed.
We consider a multi-polaron model obtained by coupling the many-body Schrödinger equation for N interacting electrons with the energy functional of a mean-field crystal with a localized defect, obtaining a highly non linear many-body problem. The physical picture is that the electrons constitute a charge defect in an otherwise perfect periodic crystal. A remarkable feature of such a system is the possibility to form a bound state of electrons via their interaction with the polarizable background....
Motivated by [10], we prove that the upper bound of the density function controls the finite time blow up of the classical solutions to the 2-D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations. This result generalizes the corresponding result in [3] concerning the regularities to the weak solutions of the 2-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the periodic domain.
We characterize the dynamics of the finite time blow-up solutions with minimal mass for the focusing mass-critical Hartree equation with H¹(ℝ⁴) data and L²(ℝ⁴) data, where we make use of the refined Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality of convolution type and the profile decomposition. Moreover, we analyze the mass concentration phenomenon of such blow-up solutions.
In the half-space , consider the Hermite-Schrödinger equation i∂u/∂t = -Δu + |x|²u, with given boundary values on . We prove a formula that links the solution of this problem to that of the classical Schrödinger equation. It shows that mixed norm estimates for the Hermite-Schrödinger equation can be obtained immediately from those known in the classical case. In one space dimension, we deduce sharp pointwise convergence results at the boundary by means of this link.
