We deal with boundary layers and quasi-neutral limits in the drift-diffusion equations. We first show that this limit is unique and determined by a system of two decoupled equations with given initial and boundary conditions. Then we establish the boundary layer equations and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions with exponential decay. This yields a globally strong convergence (with respect to the domain) of the sequence of solutions and an optimal convergence rate $O\left({\epsilon }^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)$ to the quasi-neutral...

This article is concerned with the nonlinear singular perturbation problem due to small diffusivity in nonlinear evolution equations of Chaffee-Infante type. The boundary layer appearing at the boundary of the domain is fully described by a corrector which is “explicitly" constructed. This corrector allows us to obtain convergence in Sobolev spaces up to the boundary.

This paper is concerned with the two-species chemotaxis-Navier–Stokes system with Lotka–Volterra competitive kinetics $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill \left\{\begin{array}{cc}{\left(1\right)}_t+u·1=𝔻1-{\chi }_1·\left(1c\right)+{\mu }_{1}1(1-1-a_{1}2)\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\left(2\right)}_t+u·2=𝔻2-{\chi }_2·\left(2c\right)+{\mu }_{2}2(1-a_{2}1-2)\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ c_t+u·c=𝔻c-(\alpha 1+\beta 2)c\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ u_t+(u·)u=𝔻u+\nabla P+(\gamma 1+2)\Phi ,·u=0\hfill & \text{in}\times (0,\infty )\hfill \end{array}\right.\end{array}$$ under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and initial conditions, where is a bounded domain in R3 with smooth boundary. Recently, in the 2-dimensional setting, global existence and stabilization of classical solutions to the above system were first established. However, the 3-dimensional case has not been studied: Because of difficulties in the Navier–Stokes system, we can...

This paper deals with parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis systems with the sensitivity function $\chi \left(v\right)$ and the growth term $f\left(u\right)$ under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain. Here it is assumed that $0<\chi \left(v\right)\le {\chi }_0/v^k$$(k\ge 1...$

On considère une solution $u$, assez régulière, d’une équation aux dérivées partielles non linéaire. Si $u$ est conormale par rapport a une hypersurface simplement caractéristique pour l’équation linéarisée, on étudie l’équation de transport satisfaite par son symbole principal, et on en déduit la propagation de la propriété “$u$ est conormale classique”.

Global solvability and asymptotics of semilinear parabolic Cauchy problems in ${ℝ}^n$ are considered. Following the approach of A. Mielke [15] these problems are investigated in weighted Sobolev spaces. The paper provides also a theory of second order elliptic operators in such spaces considered over ${ℝ}^n$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$. In particular, the generation of analytic semigroups and the embeddings for the domains of fractional powers of elliptic operators are discussed.

Solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations may blow up in finite time. We study the influence of the introduction of a potential on this phenomenon. For a linear potential (Stark effect), the blow-up time remains unchanged, but the location of the collapse is altered. The main part of our study concerns isotropic quadratic potentials. We show that the usual (confining) harmonic potential may anticipate the blow-up time, and always does when the power of the nonlinearity is $L^2$-critical. On the other...

The existence, uniqueness and regularities of the generalized global solutions and classical global solutions to the equation $$u_t=-A\left(t\right)u_{x^4}+B\left(t\right)u_{x^2}+g{\left(u\right)}_{x^2}+f{\left(u\right)}_x+h{\left(u_x\right)}_x+G\left(u\right)$$ with the initial boundary value conditions $$u(-\ell ,t)=u(\ell ,t)=0,u_{x^2}(-\ell ,t)=u_{x^2}(\ell ,t)=0,u(x,0)=\varphi \left(x\right),$$ or with the initial boundary value conditions $$u_x(-\ell ,t)=u_x(\ell ,t)=0,u_{x^3}(-\ell ,t)=u_{x^3}(\ell ,t)=0,u(x,0)=\varphi \left(x\right),$$ are proved. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of these solutions is considered under some conditions.

This paper is devoted to the study of cloaking via anomalous localized resonance (CALR) in the two- and three-dimensional quasistatic regimes. CALR associated with negative index materials was discovered by Milton and Nicorovici [21] for constant plasmonic structures in the two-dimensional quasistatic regime. Two key features of this phenomenon are the localized resonance, i.e., the fields blow up in some regions and remain bounded in some others, and the connection between the localized resonance...

We study oscillatory solutions of semilinear first order symmetric hyperbolic system $Lu=f(t,x,u,\bar{u})$, with real analytic $f$.The main advance in this paper is that it treats multidimensional problems with profiles that are almost periodic in $T,X$ with only the natural hypothesis of coherence.In the special case where $L$ has constant coefficients and the phases are linear, the solutions have asymptotic description$$u^{ϵ}=U(t,x,t/ϵ,x/ϵ)+o\left(1\right)$$where the profile $U(t,x,T,X)$ is almost periodic in $(T,X)$.The main novelty in the analysis is the space of profiles which...
