The aim of this note is to give a short review of our recent work (see [5]) with Miguel A. Alejo and Luis Vega, concerning the $L^2$-stability, and asymptotic stability, of the $N$-soliton of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation.

The $L^2$-stability (instability) of a binary nonlinear reaction diffusion system of P.D.E.s - either under Dirichlet or Neumann boundary data - is considered. Conditions allowing the reduction to a stability (instability) problem for a linear binary system of O.D.E.s are furnished. A peculiar Liapunov functional $V$ linked (together with the time derivative along the solutions) by direct simple relations to the eigenvalues, is used.

We prove existence of weak solutions to nonlinear parabolic systems with p-Laplacians terms in the principal part. Next, in the case of diagonal systems an $L_{\infty }$-estimate for weak solutions is shown under additional restrictive growth conditions. Finally, $L_{\infty }$-estimates for weakly nondiagonal systems (where nondiagonal elements are absorbed by diagonal ones) are proved. The $L_{\infty }$-estimates are obtained by the Di Benedetto methods.

In this paper, we consider the global existence, uniqueness and $L^{\infty }$ estimates of weak solutions to quasilinear parabolic equation of $m$-Laplacian type $u_t-{\mathrm{div}\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{m-2}{\nabla u)=u|u|}^{\beta -1}{\int }_{\Omega }{\left|u\right|}^{\alpha }\mathrm{d}x$ in $\Omega \times (0,\infty )$ with zero Dirichlet boundary condition in $\partial \Omega$. Further, we obtain the $L^{\infty }$ estimate of the solution $u\left(t\right)$ and $\nabla u\left(t\right)$ for $t>0$ with the initial data $u_0\in L^q\left(\Omega \right)$$(q>...$

We study the decay in time of the spatial $L^p$-norm (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) of solutions to parabolic conservation laws with dispersive and dissipative terms added uₜ - uₓₓₜ - νuₓₓ + buₓ = f(u)ₓ or uₜ + uₓₓₓ - νuₓₓ + buₓ = f(u)ₓ, and we show that under general assumptions about the nonlinearity, solutions of the nonlinear equations have the same long time behavior as their linearizations at the zero solution.

In this Note we give $L^p$ estimates $\left(1<p<+\mathrm{\infty }\right)$ for the highest order derivatives of an elliptic system in non-divergence form with coefficients in VMO.

We prove an inequality of the type$$\parallel |x{|}^{r_f}{\parallel }_{L^p({\mathbf{R}}^n)}\le c(n,p,q,r)\parallel |x{|}^{\tau +\mu }\Delta f{\parallel }_{L^q({\mathbf{R}}^n)}.$$This is then used to derive the unique continuation property for the differential inequality $\left|\Delta f\right(x\left)\right|\le \left|v\right(x\left)\right|\left|f\right(x\left)\right|$ under suitable local integrability assumptions on the function $v$.

We prove the $L^p$-$L^q$-time decay estimates for the solution of the Cauchy problem for the hyperbolic system of partial differential equations of linear thermoelasticity. In our proof based on the matrix of fundamental solutions to the system we use Strauss-Klainerman’s approach [12], [5] to the $L^p$-$L^q$-time decay estimates.

We consider the initial-value problem for a linear hyperbolic parabolic system of three coupled partial differential equations of second order describing the process of thermodiffusion in a solid body (in one-dimensional space). We prove $L^p-L^q$ time decay estimates for the solution of the associated linear Cauchy problem.
