Sharp L 1 estimates for singular transport equations

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We provide L 1 estimates for a transport equation which contains singular integral operators. The form of the equation was motivated by the study of Kirchhoff–Sobolev parametrices in a Lorentzian space-time satisfying the Einstein equations. While our main application is for a specific problem in General Relativity we believe that the phenomenon which our result illustrates is of a more general interest.

Shear flows of a new class of power-law fluids

Christiaan Le Roux, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the flow of a class of incompressible fluids which are constitutively defined by the symmetric part of the velocity gradient being a function, which can be non-monotone, of the deviator of the stress tensor. These models are generalizations of the stress power-law models introduced and studied by J. Málek, V. Průša, K. R. Rajagopal: Generalizations of the Navier-Stokes fluid from a new perspective. Int. J. Eng. Sci. 48 (2010), 1907–1924. We discuss a potential application of the new...

Simplified models of quantum fluids in nuclear physics

Bernard Ducomet (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

We revisit a hydrodynamical model, derived by Wong from Time-Dependent-Hartree-Fock approximation, to obtain a simplified version of nuclear matter. We obtain well-posed problems of Navier-Stokes-Poisson-Yukawa type, with some unusual features due to quantum aspects, for which one can prove local existence. In the case of a one-dimensional nuclear slab, we can prove a result of global existence, by using a formal analogy with some model of nonlinear "viscoelastic" rods.

Singularities of eddy current problems

Martin Costabel, Monique Dauge, Serge Nicaise (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider the time-harmonic eddy current problem in its electric formulation where the conductor is a polyhedral domain. By proving the convergence in energy, we justify in what sense this problem is the limit of a family of Maxwell transmission problems: Rather than a low frequency limit, this limit has to be understood in the sense of Bossavit [11]. We describe the singularities of the solutions. They are related to edge and corner singularities of certain problems for the scalar Laplace operator,...

Singularities of Maxwell interface problems

Martin Costabel, Monique Dauge, Serge Nicaise (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We investigate time harmonic Maxwell equations in heterogeneous media, where the permeability μ and the permittivity ε are piecewise constant. The associated boundary value problem can be interpreted as a transmission problem. In a very natural way the interfaces can have edges and corners. We give a detailed description of the edge and corner singularities of the electromagnetic fields.

Singularities of Maxwell’s system in non-hilbertian Sobolev spaces

Wided Chikouche, Serge Nicaise (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We study the regularity of the solution of the regularized electric Maxwell problem in a polygonal domain with data in L p ( Ω ) 2 . Using a duality method, we prove a decomposition of the solution into a regular part in the non-Hilbertian Sobolev space W 2 , p ( Ω ) 2 and an explicit singular one.

Small data scattering for nonlinear Schrödinger wave and Klein-Gordon equations

Makoto Nakamura, Tohru Ozawa (2002)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Small data scattering for nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS), nonlinear wave equations (NLW), nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations (NLKG) with power type nonlinearities is studied in the scheme of Sobolev spaces on the whole space n with order s < n / 2 . The assumptions on the nonlinearities are described in terms of power behavior p 1 at zero and p 2 at infinity such as 1 + 4 / n p 1 p 2 1 + 4 / ( n - 2 s ) for NLS and NLKG, and 1 + 4 / ( n - 1 ) p 1 p 2 1 + 4 / ( n - 2 s ) for NLW.
