Quasi-periodic solutions for a nonlinear wave equation.
We overview recent existence results and techniques about KAM theory for PDEs.
The aim of this talk is to present some recent existence results about quasi-periodic solutions for PDEs like nonlinear wave and Schrödinger equations in , , and the - derivative wave equation. The proofs are based on both Nash-Moser implicit function theorems and KAM theory.
We prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions for Schrödinger equations with a multiplicative potential on , finitely differentiable nonlinearities, and tangential frequencies constrained along a pre-assigned direction. The solutions have only Sobolev regularity both in time and space. If the nonlinearity and the potential are then the solutions are . The proofs are based on an improved Nash-Moser iterative scheme, which assumes the weakest tame estimates for the inverse linearized operators...
It is proved that a function can be estimated in the norm with a higher degree of summability if it satisfies some integral relations similar to the reverse Hölder inequalities (quasireverse Hölder inequalities). As an example, we apply this result to derive an a priori estimate of the Hölder norm for a solution of strongly nonlinear elliptic system.
We consider two quasistatic problems which describe the frictional contact between a deformable body and an obstacle, the so-called foundation. In the first problem the body is assumed to have a viscoelastic behavior, while in the other it is assumed to be elastic. The frictional contact is modeled by a general velocity dependent dissipation functional. We derive weak formulations for the models and prove existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on the theory of evolution variational...
Dopo aver introdotto la nozione di quasi-simmetrizzatore per sistemi del prim'ordine debolmente iperbolici, si dimostra che ad ogni sistema di tipo Sylvester, cioè proveniente da un'equazione scalare di ordine superiore, si può associare in modo regolare un quasi-simmetrizzatore. Come applicazione di questo risultato si prova che, per qualunque sistema semi-lineare debolmente iperbolico, le soluzioni Gevrey in x di ordine restano analitiche non appena lo siano all'istante iniziale.
