Generalized Stability of Difference Method for Nonlinear Initial Value Problems and its Application
The existence and uniqueness of solutions and convergence of successive approximations are considered as generic properties for generalized hyperbolic partial differential equations with unbounded right-hand sides.
This is a brief introduction to the joint work with Wilhelm Schlag and Joachim Krieger on the global dynamics for nonlinear dispersive equations with unstable ground states. We prove that the center-stable and the center-unstable manifolds of the ground state solitons separate the energy space by the dynamical property into the scattering and the blow-up regions, respectively in positive time and in negative time. The transverse intersection of the two manifolds yields nine sets of global dynamics,...
We consider the Bresse system in bounded domain with delay terms in the internal feedbacks and prove the global existence of its solutions in Sobolev spaces by means of semigroup theory under a condition between the weight of the delay terms in the feedbacks and the weight of the terms without delay. Furthermore, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions using multiplier method.
A viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping is considered. Using integral inequalities and multiplier techniques we establish polynomial decay estimates for the energy of the problem. The results obtained in this paper extend previous results by Tatar and Zaraï [25].
We consider a class of Kirchhoff type reaction-diffusion equations with variable exponents and source terms We prove with suitable assumptions on the variable exponents the global existence...
This talk describes joint work with Chris Sogge and Markus Keel, in which we establish a global existence theorem for null-type quasilinear wave equations in three space dimensions, where we impose Dirichlet conditions on a smooth, compact star-shaped obstacle . The key tool, following Christodoulou [1], is to use the Penrose compactification of Minkowski space. In the case under consideration, this reduces matters to a local existence theorem for a singular obstacle problem. Full details will...
Consider, in dimension 3, a system of coupled Klein-Gordon equations with different speeds, and an arbitrary quadratic nonlinearity. We show, for data which are small, smooth, and localized, that a global solution exists, and that it scatters. The proof relies on the space-time resonance approach; it turns out that the resonant structure of this equation has features which were not studied before, but which are generic in some sense.
The existence of small global (in time) solutions to an abstract evolution equation containing a damping term is proved. The result is then applied to fully nonlinear telegraph equations and to nonlinear equations involving operators with time delay.
The global in time solvability of the one-dimensional nonlinear equations of thermoelasticity, equations of viscoelasticity and nonlinear wave equations in several space dimensions with some boundary dissipation is discussed. The blow up of the solutions which might be possible even for small data is excluded by allowing for a certain dissipative mechanism.
