We consider in this article diagonal parabolic systems arising in the context of stochastic differential games. We address the issue of finding smooth solutions of the system. Such a regularity result is extremely important to derive an optimal feedback proving the existence of a Nash point of a certain class of stochastic differential games. Unlike in the case of scalar equation, smoothness of solutions is not achieved in general. A special structure of the nonlinear Hamiltonian seems to be...

We consider the motion of a rigid body immersed in an incompressible perfect fluid which occupies a three-dimensional bounded domain. For such a system the Cauchy problem is well-posed locally in time if the initial velocity of the fluid is in the Hölder space $C^{1,r}$. In this paper we prove that the smoothness of the motion of the rigid body may be only limited by the smoothness of the boundaries (of the body and of the domain). In particular for analytic boundaries the motion of the rigid body is analytic...

We discuss regularity results concerning local minimizers $u:{ℝ}^n\supset \Omega \to {ℝ}^n$ of variational integrals like $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill {\int }_{\Omega }\{F(·,\epsilon \left(w\right))-f·w\}dx\end{array}$$ defined on energy classes of solenoidal fields. For the potential $F$ we assume a $(p,q)$-elliptic growth condition. In the situation without $x$-dependence it is known that minimizers are of class $C^{1,\alpha }$ on an open subset ${\Omega }_0$ of $\Omega$ with full measure if $q<p\frac{n+2}{n}$ (for $n=2$ we have ${\Omega }_0=\Omega$). In this article we extend this to the case of nonautonomous integrands. Of course our result extends to weak solutions of the corresponding nonlinear...

We investigate the following quasilinear and singular problem,$$\text{t}o2.7cm\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-{\Delta }_{p}u=\frac{\lambda }{u^{\delta }}+u^q\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ {u|}_{\partial \Omega }=0,u\&gt;0\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.\text{t}o2.7cm\text{(P)}$$where $\Omega$ is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$, $p-1\&lt;q\le p^{*}-1$, $\lambda \&gt;0$, and $0\&lt;\delta \&lt;1$. As usual, $p^{*}=\frac{Np}{N-p}$ if $1\&lt;p\&lt;N$, $p^{*}\in (p,\infty )$ is arbitrarily large if $p=N$, and $p^{*}=\infty$ if $p\&gt;N$. We employ variational methods in order to show the existence of at least two distinct (positive) solutions of problem (P) in $W_0^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. While following an approach due to Ambrosetti-Brezis-Cerami, we need to prove two new results of separate interest: a strong comparison principle and a regularity result for solutions...

In a recent work, E. Cinti and F. Otto established some new interpolation inequalities in the study of pattern formation, bounding the Lr(μ)-norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure μ by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance to μ. This article emphasizes this family of interpolation inequalities, called Sobolev-Kantorovich inequalities, which may be established in the rather large setting of non-negatively curved (weighted) Riemannian manifolds by means...

We describe a constructive algorithm for obtaining smooth solutions of a nonlinear, nonhyperbolic pair of balance laws modeling incompressible two-phase flow in one space dimension and time. Solutions are found as stationary solutions of a related hyperbolic system, based on the introduction of an artificial time variable. As may be expected for such nonhyperbolic systems, in general the solutions obtained do not satisfy both components of the given initial data. This deficiency may be overcome,...
