The nonlinear dissipative wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u+{\left|u_t\right|}^{h-1}{u}_t=0$ in dimension $d\>1$ has strong solutions with the following structure. In $0\le t\<1$ the solutions have a focusing wave of singularity on the incoming light cone $\left|x\right|=1-t$. In $\{t\ge 1\}$ that is after the focusing time, they are smoother than they were in $\{0\le t\<1\}$. The examples are radial and piecewise smooth in $\{0\le t\<1\}$

A pneumatic tyre in rotating motion with a constant angular velocity $\Omega$ is assimilated to a torus whose generating circle has a radius $R$. The contact of the tyre with the ground is schematized as an ellipse with semi-major axis $a$. When $(\Omega R/C_0)\ll 1$ and $(a/R)\ll 1$ (where $C_0$ is the velocity of the sound), we show that at the rapid time scale $R/C_0$, the air motion within a torus periodically excited on its surface generates an acoustic wave $h$. A study of this acoustic wave is conducted and shows that the mode associated...

We study the statistical properties of the solutions of the Kadomstev-Petviashvili equations (KP-I and KP-II) on the torus when the initial datum is a random variable. We give ourselves a random variable $u_0$ with values in the Sobolev space $H^s$ with $s$ big enough such that its Fourier coefficients are independent from each other. We assume that the laws of these Fourier coefficients are invariant under multiplication by $e^{i\theta }$ for all $\theta \in ℝ$. We investigate about the persistence of the decorrelation...

Let WF⁎ be the wave front set with respect to $C^{\infty }$, quasi analyticity or analyticity, and let K be the kernel of a positive operator from $C{₀}^{\infty }$ to ’. We prove that if ξ ≠ 0 and (x,x,ξ,-ξ) ∉ WF⁎(K), then (x,y,ξ,-η) ∉ WF⁎(K) and (y,x,η,-ξ) ∉ WF⁎(K) for any y,η. We apply this property to positive elements with respect to the weighted convolution $u{\ast }_B\phi \left(x\right)=\int u(x-y)\phi \left(y\right)B(x,y)dy$, where $B\in C^{\infty }$ is appropriate, and prove that if $(u{\ast }_B\phi ,\phi )\ge 0$ for every $\phi \in C{₀}^{\infty }$ and (0,ξ) ∉ WF⁎(u), then (x,ξ) ∉ WF⁎(u) for any x.

We consider the damped wave equation $\alpha u_{tt}+u_t=u_{xx}-V^{\text{'}}\left(u\right)$ on the whole real line, where $V$ is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form $u(x,t)=h(x-st)$ which describe a moving interface between two different steady states of the system, one of which being the global minimum of $V$. We show that, if the initial data are sufficiently close to the profile of a front for large $\left|x\right|$, the solution of the damped wave equation converges uniformly on $ℝ$ to a travelling front as $t\to +\infty$. The proof of this...

The semilinear differential equation (1), (2), (3), in $ℝ\times \mathrm{\Omega }$ with $\mathrm{\Omega }\in {ℝ}^N$, (a nonlinear wave equation) is studied. In particular for $\mathrm{\Omega }={ℝ}^3$, the existence is shown of a weak solution $u(t,x)$, periodic with period $T$, non-constant with respect to $t$, and radially symmetric in the spatial variables, that is of the form $u(t,x)=\nu (t,|x|)$. The proof is based on a distributional interpretation for a linear equation corresponding to the given problem, on the Paley-Wiener criterion for the Laplace Transform, and on the alternative...

The Cauchy problem for the system of linear generalized ordinary differential equations in the J. Kurzweil sense $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_0\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_0\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_0\right)=c_0$ $(t\in I)$ with a unique solution $x_0$ is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a sequence of the Cauchy problems $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_k\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_k\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_k\right)=c_k$ $(k=1,2,\cdots )$ to have a unique solution $x_k$ for any sufficiently large $k$ such that $x_k\left(t\right)\to x_0\left(t\right)$ uniformly on $I$. Presented results are analogous to the sufficient conditions due to Z. Opial for linear ordinary differential systems....

We consider the systems of hyperbolic equations ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S1) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$ ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S2) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{l(t,x)\left|v\right|}^m+k(t,x){\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S3) ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|u\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|v\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, in $(0,\infty )\times {ℝ}^N$ with u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), uₜ(0,x) = u₁(x), vₜ(0,x) = v₁(x). We show that, in each case, there exists a bound B on N such that for 1 ≤ N ≤ B solutions to the systems blow up in finite time.

Let ℒ be the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group Hⁿ. A recent result of Müller and Stein shows that the operator ${ℒ}^{-1/2}sin\surd ℒ$ is bounded on $L^p\left(Hⁿ\right)$ for all p satisfying |1/p - 1/2| < 1/(2n). In this paper we show that the same operator is bounded on $L^p$ in the bigger range |1/p - 1/2| < 1/(2n-1) if we consider only functions which are band limited in the central variable.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$ in $ℝ$N and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\partial \Omega$. Assume that $q\ge (N+1)/\left(N-1\right)$ and denote by $U_K$ the maximal solution of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\Omega$ which vanishes on $\partial \Omega \setminus K$. We obtain sharp upper and lower estimates for $U_K$ in terms of the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$ and prove that $U_K$ is $\sigma$-moderate. In addition we describe the precise asymptotic behavior of $U_K$ at points $\sigma \in K$, which depends on the “density” of $K$ at $\sigma$, measured in terms of the capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.

Let $k$ be a fixed integer. We study the asymptotic formula of $R(H,r,k)$, which is the number of positive integer solutions $1\le x,y,z\le H$ such that the polynomial $x^2+y^2+z^2+k$ is $r$-free. We obtained the asymptotic formula of $R(H,r,k)$ for all $r\ge 2$. Our result is new even in the case $r=2$. We proved that $R(H,2,k)=c_k{H}^3+O\left(H^{9/4+\epsilon }\right)$, where $c_k>0$ is a constant depending on $k$. This improves upon the error term $O\left(H^{7/3+\epsilon }\right)$ obtained by G.-L. Zhou, Y. Ding (2022).

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...
