We consider problem (P) of Kirchhoff-Carrier type with nonlinear terms containing a finite number of unknown values $u({\eta }_1,t),\cdots ,u({\eta }_q,t)$ with $0\le {\eta }_1<{\eta }_2<\cdots <{\eta }_q<1.$ By applying the linearization method together with the Faedo-Galerkin method and the weak compact method, we first prove the existence and uniqueness of a local weak solution of problem (P). Next, we consider a specific case $\left({\mathrm{P}}_q\right)$ of (P) in which the nonlinear term contains the sum $S_q\left[u^2\right]\left(t\right)=q^{-1}{\sum }_{i=1}^q{u}^2(\frac{(i-1)}{q},t)$. Under suitable conditions, we prove that the solution of $\left({\mathrm{P}}_q\right)$ converges to the solution...

We show the existence of weak solutions in the extended sense of the Cauchy problem for the cubic fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the initial data $u_0\in X$, where $X\in \{M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right),H^{\sigma }\left(𝕋\right),H^{s_1}\left(ℝ\right)+H^{s_2}\left(𝕋\right)\}$ and $q\in [1,2]$, $s\ge 0$, or $\sigma \ge 0$, or $s_2\ge s_1\ge 0$. Moreover, if $M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right)\hookrightarrow L^3\left(ℝ\right)$, or if $\sigma \ge \frac{1}{6}$, or if $s_1\ge \frac{1}{6}$ and $s_2>\frac{1}{2}$ we show that the Cauchy problem is unconditionally wellposed in $X$. Similar results hold true for all higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equations and mixed order NLS due to a factorization property of the corresponding phase factors. For the proof we employ...

We give a classification of all linear natural operators transforming $p$-vectors (i.e., skew-symmetric tensor fields of type $(p,0)$) on $n$-dimensional manifolds $M$ to tensor fields of type $(q,0)$ on $T^{A}M$, where $T^A$ is a Weil bundle, under the condition that $p\ge 1$, $n\ge p$ and $n\ge q$. The main result of the paper states that, roughly speaking, each linear natural operator lifting $p$-vectors to tensor fields of type $(q,0)$ on $T^A$ is a sum of operators obtained by permuting the indices of the tensor products of linear natural...

We address the problem of the existence of finite energy solitary waves for nonlinear Klein-Gordon or Schrödinger type equations $\Delta u-u+f\left(u\right)=0$ in ${ℝ}^N$, $u\in H^1\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, where $N\ge 2$. Under natural conditions on the nonlinearity $f$, we prove the existence of $\mathrm{𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$ in any dimension $N\ge 2$. Our result complements earlier works of Bartsch and Willem $(N=4\mathrm{𝚘𝚛}N\ge 6)$ and Lorca-Ubilla $(N=5)$ where solutions invariant under the action of $O\left(2\right)\times O(N-2)$ are constructed. In contrast, the solutions we construct are invariant under the action of $D_k\times O(N-2)$ where $D_k\subset O\left(2\right)$ denotes the dihedral...

This paper is concerned with the study of a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem associated with the equation $u_t-M\left({\int }_{\Omega }\phi u\mathrm{d}x\right)\mathrm{div}\left(A(x,t,u)\nabla u\right)=g(x,t,u)$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of ${ℝ}^n$ $(n\ge 1)$, $T>0$ is a positive number, $A(x,t,u)$ is an $n\times n$ matrix of variable coefficients depending on $u$ and $M:ℝ\to ℝ$, $\phi :\Omega \to ℝ$, $g:\Omega \times (0,T)\times ℝ\to ℝ$ are given functions. We consider two different assumptions on $g$. The existence of a weak solution for this problem is proved using the Schauder fixed point theorem for each of these assumptions. Moreover, if $A(x,t,u)=a(x,t)$ depends only on...

We introduce the algebras satisfying the $(ℬ,n)$ condition. If $\Lambda$, $\Gamma$ are algebras satisfying the $(ℬ,n)$, $(ℰ,m)$ condition, respectively, we give a construction of $(m+n)$-almost split sequences in some subcategories ${(ℬ\otimes ℰ)}^{(i_0,j_0)}$ of $mod(\Lambda \otimes \Gamma )$ by tensor products and mapping cones. Moreover, we prove that the tensor product algebra $\Lambda \otimes \Gamma$ satisfies the $({(ℬ\otimes ℰ)}^{(i_0,j_0)},n+m)$ condition for some integers $i_0$, $j_0$; this construction unifies and extends the work of A. Pasquali (2017), (2019).

We consider solutions of quasilinear equations $u_t=\Delta u^m+u^p$ in ${ℝ}^N$ with the initial data $u_0$ satisfying $0<u_0<M$ and ${lim}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }{u}_0\left(x\right)=M$ for some constant $M>0$. It is known that if $0<m<p$ with $p>1$, the blow-up set is empty. We find solutions $u$ that blow up throughout ${ℝ}^N$ when $m>p>1$.

We deal with the problem ⎧ -Δu = f(x,u) + λg(x,u), in Ω, ⎨ ($P_{\lambda }$) ⎩ $u_{\mid \partial \Omega }=0$ where Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ is a bounded domain, λ ∈ ℝ, and f,g: Ω×ℝ → ℝ are two Carathéodory functions with f(x,0) = g(x,0) = 0. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that there exists λ* > 0 such that, for each λ ∈ (0,λ*), problem ($P_{\lambda }$) admits a non-zero, non-negative strong solution $u_{\lambda }\in {\bigcap }_{p\ge 2}{W}^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)$ such that $li{m}_{\lambda \to 0⁺}\left|\right|u_{\lambda }{\left|\right|}_{W^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)}=0$ for all p ≥ 2. Moreover, the function $\lambda \mapsto I_{\lambda }\left(u_{\lambda }\right)$ is negative and decreasing in ]0,λ*[, where $I_{\lambda }$ is the energy functional related to ($P_{\lambda }$). ...

We consider functionals of a potential energy ${\mathbb{P}}_{\psi }\left(u\right)$ corresponding to $\mathrm{𝑎𝑛}\mathrm{𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐}\mathrm{𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦}-\mathrm{𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒}\mathrm{𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚}$. We are dealing with $𝑎\mathrm{𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛}\mathrm{𝑜𝑓}𝑎\mathrm{𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛}\mathrm{𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟}\mathrm{𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒}$ with $\mathrm{𝑁𝑒𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑛}\mathrm{𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦}\mathrm{𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$. Various types of the subsoil of the plate are described by various types of the $\mathrm{𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒}$ nonlinear term $\psi \left(u\right)$. The aim of the paper is to find a suitable computational algorithm.

We also prove a long time existence result; more precisely we prove that for fixed $T>0$ there exists a set ${\Sigma }_T$, $\mathbb{P}\left({\Sigma }_T\right)>0$ such that any data ${\phi }^{\omega }\left(x\right)\in H^{\gamma }\left({𝕋}^3\right),\gamma <1,\omega \in {\Sigma }_T$, evolves up to time $T$ into a solution $u\left(t\right)$ with $u\left(t\right)-e^{it\Delta }{\phi }^{\omega }\in C([0,T];H^s\left({𝕋}^3\right))$, $s=s\left(\gamma \right)>1$. In particular we find a nontrivial set of data which gives rise to long time solutions below the critical space $H^1\left({𝕋}^3\right)$, that is in the supercritical scaling regime.

We give sufficient conditions implying that the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ has the $p$-sequentially Right and the $p$-$L$-limited properties, $1\le p<\infty$.

We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f\left(u\right)$ with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For special $f\left(u\right)$ of the Fisher-KPP type, the problem was investigated by Du and Lin [DL]. Here we consider much more general nonlinear terms. For any $f\left(u\right)$ which is $C^1$ and satisfies $f\left(0\right)=0$, we show that the omega limit set $\omega \left(u\right)$ of every bounded positive solution is determined by a stationary...

A general theorem (principle of a priori boundedness) on solvability of the boundary value problem $$\mathrm{d}x=\mathrm{d}A\left(t\right)·f(t,x),h\left(x\right)=0$$ is established, where $f:[a,b]\times {ℝ}^n\to {ℝ}^n$ is a vector-function belonging to the Carathéodory class corresponding to the matrix-function $A:[a,b]\to {ℝ}^{n\times n}$ with bounded total variation components, and $h:{BV}_s([a,b],{ℝ}^n)\to {ℝ}^n$ is a continuous operator. Basing on the mentioned principle of a priori boundedness, effective criteria are obtained for the solvability of the system under the condition $x\left(t_1\left(x\right)\right)=ℬ\left(x\right)·x\left(t_2\left(x\right)\right)+c_0,$ where $t_i:{BV}_s([a,b],{ℝ}^n)\to [a,b]$ $(i=1,2)$ and $ℬ:{BV}_s([a,b],{ℝ}^n)\to {ℝ}^n$ are continuous...

We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.

Via critical point theory we establish the existence and regularity of solutions for the quasilinear elliptic problem ⎧ $div(x,\nabla u)+{a\left(x\right)\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u={g\left(x\right)\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u+h\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{s-1}u$ in ${ℝ}^N$ ⎨ ⎩ u > 0, $li{m}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }u\left(x\right)=0$, where 1 < p < N; a(x) is assumed to satisfy a coercivity condition; h(x) and g(x) are not necessarily bounded but satisfy some integrability restrictions.

We give existence theorems for weak and strong solutions with trichotomy of the nonlinear differential equation $$\dot{x}\left(t\right)=ℒ\left(t\right)x\left(t\right)+f(t,x\left(t\right)),t\in ℝ\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$$ where $\left\{ℒ\right(t):t\in ℝ\}$ is a family of linear operators from a Banach space $E$ into itself and $f:ℝ\times E\to E$. By $L\left(E\right)$ we denote the space of linear operators from $E$ into itself. Furthermore, for $a<b$ and $d>0$, we let $C\left(\right[-d,0],E)$ be the Banach space of continuous functions from $[-d,0]$ into $E$ and $f^d:[a,b]\times C([-d,0],E)\to E$. Let $\widehat{ℒ}:[a,b]\to L\left(E\right)$ be a strongly measurable and Bochner integrable operator on $[a,b]$ and for $t\in [a,b]$ define ${\tau }_{t}x\left(s\right)=x(t+s)$ for each $s\in [-d,0]$. We prove that, under certain...

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and $𝔄$ be a standard operator algebra on $\mathscr{H}$ which is closed under the adjoint operation. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation $𝒟={\left\{{\delta }_n\right\}}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of $𝔄$ is automatically an additive higher derivation on $𝔄$. Moreover, $𝒟={\left\{{\delta }_n\right\}}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is an inner $*$-higher derivation.

The energy class ${}_p$ is studied for 0 < p < 1. A characterization of certain bounded plurisubharmonic functions in terms of ${ℱ}_p$ and its pluricomplex p-energy is proved.
