We consider the $L^2$-critical focusing non-linear Schrödinger equation in $1+1$-d. We demonstrate the existence of a large set of initial data close to the ground state soliton resulting in the pseudo-conformal type blow-up behavior. More specifically, we prove a version of a conjecture of Perelman, establishing the existence of a codimension one stable blow-up manifold in the measurable category.

The existence of stationary solutions and blow up of solutions for a system describing the interaction of gravitationally attracting particles that obey the Fermi-Dirac statistics are studied.

The present paper describes mobile carrier transport in semiconductor devices with constant densities of ionized impurities. For this purpose we use one-dimensional partial differential equations. The work gives the proofs of global existence of solutions of systems of such kind, their bifurcations and their stability under the corresponding assumptions.

We study existence and approximation of non-negative solutions of partial differential equations of the type$${\partial }_{t}u-div\left(A(\nabla \left(f\left(u\right)\right)+u\nabla V)\right)=0\text{in}(0,+\infty )\times {ℝ}^n,(0.1)$$where $A$ is a symmetric matrix-valued function of the spatial variable satisfying a uniform ellipticity condition, $f:[0,+\infty )\to [0,+\infty )$ is a suitable non decreasing function, $V:{ℝ}^n\to ℝ$ is a convex function. Introducing the energy functional $\phi \left(u\right)={\int }_{{ℝ}^n}F\left(u\left(x\right)\right)\mathrm{d}x+{\int }_{{ℝ}^n}V\left(x\right)u\left(x\right)\mathrm{d}x$, where $F$ is a convex function linked to $f$ by $f\left(u\right)=u{F}^{\text{'}}\left(u\right)-F\left(u\right)$, we show that $u$ is the “gradient flow” of $\phi$ with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance between probability measures on the space...

The paper is devoted to the analysis of an abstract evolution inclusion with a non-invertible operator, motivated by problems arising in nonlocal phase separation modeling. Existence, uniqueness, and long-time behaviour of the solution to the related Cauchy problem are discussed in detail.

This paper deals with nonlinear feedback stabilization problem of a flexible beam clamped at a rigid body and free at the other end. We assume that there is no damping and the feedback law proposed here consists of a nonlinear control torque applied to the rigid body and either a boundary control moment or a nonlinear boundary control force or both of them applied to the free end of the beam. This nonlinear feedback, which insures the exponential decay of the beam vibrations, extends the linear...

For the nonlinear heat equation with a fractional Laplacian $u_t+{(-\Delta )}^{\alpha /2}u=u^2$, 1 < α ≤ 2, the first initial-boundary value problem in a disk is considered. Small initial conditions, homogeneous boundary conditions, and periodicity conditions in the angular coordinate are imposed. Existence and uniqueness of a global-in-time solution is proved, and the solution is constructed in the form of a series of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in the disk. First-order long-time asymptotics of the solution is obtained....

In this paper we present several nonlinear models of suspension bridges; most of them have been introduced by Lazer and McKenna. We discuss some results which were obtained by the authors and other mathematicians for the boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems. Our intention is to point out the character of these results and to show which mathematical methods were used to prove them instead of giving precise proofs and statements.

We consider a class of nonlinear parabolic problems where the coefficients are depending on a weighted integral of the solution. We address the issues of existence, uniqueness, stationary solutions and in some cases asymptotic behaviour.
