We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem ${\Delta }^{2}w=-\lambda \Delta w$ in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle $0<{\theta }_0<2\pi$, ${\theta }_0\ne \pi$ and ${\theta }_0\ne 3\pi /2$, a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing...

For external magnetic field hex ≤ Cε–α, we prove that a Meissner state solution for the Chern-Simons-Higgs functional exists. Furthermore, if the solution is stable among all vortexless solutions, then it is unique.

Consider the Navier-Stokes equation with the initial data $a\in L_{\sigma }^2\left({ℝ}^d\right)$. Let $u$ and $v$ be two weak solutions with the same initial value $a$. If $u$ satisfies the usual energy inequality and if $\nabla v\in L^2((0,T);{\dot{X}}_1{\left({ℝ}^d\right)}^d)$ where ${\dot{X}}_1\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ is the multiplier space, then we have $u=v$.

We prove a uniqueness result of weak solutions to the $nD$$(n\ge 3)$ Cauchy problem of a Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system with a logistic term.

Existence of solutions to many kinds of PDEs can be proved by using a fixed point argument or an iterative argument in some Banach space. This usually yields uniqueness in the same Banach space where the fixed point is performed. We give here two methods to prove uniqueness in a more natural class. The first one is based on proving some estimates in a less regular space. The second one is based on a duality argument. In this paper, we present some results obtained in collaboration with Pierre-Louis...

We show the upper and lower bounds of convergence rates for strong solutions of the 3D non-Newtonian flows associated with Maxwell equations under a large initial perturbation.

In this paper we construct upper bounds for families of functionals of the form$$E_{\epsilon }\left(\phi \right):={\int }_{\Omega }\left({\epsilon \left|\nabla \phi \right|}^2+\frac{1}{\epsilon }W\left(\phi \right)\right)\mathrm{d}x+\frac{1}{\epsilon }{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\left|\nabla {\overline{H}}_{F\left(\phi \right)}\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x$$where Δ${\overline{H}}_u$ = div {${\chi }_{\Omega }$u}. Particular cases of such functionals arise in Micromagnetics. We also use our technique to construct upper bounds for functionals that appear in a variational formulation of the method of vanishing viscosity for conservation laws.
