Singular quasilinear elliptic systems involving gradient terms
2019
Abstract In this paper we establish the existence of at least one smooth positive solution for a singular quasilinear elliptic system involving gradient terms. The approach combines the sub-supersolutions method and Schauder’s fixed point theorem.
Large solutions for nonlinear parabolic equations without absorption terms
2012
In this paper we give a suitable notion of entropy solution of parabolic $p-$laplacian type equations with $1\leq p<2$ which blows up at the boundary of the domain. We prove existence and uniqueness of this type of solutions when the initial data is locally integrable (for $1<p<2$) or integrable (for $p=1$; i.e the Total Variation Flow case).
Existence and multiplicity of solutions for Dirichlet problems involving nonlinearities with arbitrary growth.
2014
In this article we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Dirichlet problem $$\displaylines{ -\Delta_p u=\lambda f(x,u)+ \mu g(x,u)\quad\hbox{in }\Omega,\cr u=0\quad\hbox{on } \partial \Omega }$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $f,g:\Omega \times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ are Caratheodory functions, and $\lambda,\mu$ are nonnegative parameters. We impose no growth condition at $\infty$ on the nonlinearities f,g. A corollary to our main result improves an existence result recently obtained by Bonanno via a critical point theorem for $C^1$ functionals which do not satisfy the usual sequential weak lower semicontinuity property.
Experimental properties of parabolic pulses generated via Raman amplification in standard optical fibers
2004
Parabolic pulses at 1550 nm have been generated in a standard telecommunications fiber using Raman amplification. The parabolic output pulse characteristics are studied as a function of input pulse energy and duration.
Derivation of Models for Thin Sprays from a Multiphase Boltzmann Model
2017
We shall review the validation of a class of models for thin sprays where a Vlasov type equation is coupled to an hydrodynamic equation of Navier–Stokes or Stokes type. We present a formal derivation of these models from a multiphase Boltzmann system for a binary mixture: under suitable assumptions on the collision kernels and in appropriate asymptotics (resp. for the two different limit models), we prove the convergence of solutions to the multiphase Boltzmann model to distributional solutions to the Vlasov–Navier–Stokes or Vlasov–Stokes system. The proofs are based on the procedure followed in Bardos et al. (J Stat Phys 63:323–344 (1991), [2]) and explicit evaluations of the coupling term…
Localized forms of the LBB condition and a posteriori estimates for incompressible media problems
2018
Abstract The inf–sup (or LBB) condition plays a crucial role in analysis of viscous flow problems and other problems related to incompressible media. In this paper, we deduce localized forms of this condition that contain a collection of local constants associated with subdomains instead of one global constant for the whole domain. Localized forms of the LBB inequality imply estimates of the distance to the set of divergence free fields. We use them and deduce fully computable bounds of the distance between approximate and exact solutions of boundary value problems arising in the theory of viscous incompressible fluids. The estimates are valid for approximations, which satisfy the incompres…
MAST-RT0 solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in 3D complex domains
2020
A new numerical methodology to solve the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids within complex boundaries and unstructured body-fitted tetrahedral mesh is presented and validated with three literature and one real-case tests. We apply a fractional time step procedure where a predictor and a corrector problem are sequentially solved. The predictor step is solved applying the MAST (Marching in Space and Time) procedure, which explicitly handles the non-linear terms in the momentum equations, allowing numerical stability for Courant number greater than one. Correction steps are solved by a Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements discretization that assumes positive distances among tetrahedr…
Strong Instability of Ground States to a Fourth Order Schrödinger Equation
2019
Abstract In this note, we prove the instability by blow-up of the ground state solutions for a class of fourth order Schrödinger equations. This extends the first rigorous results on blowing-up solutions for the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger due to Boulenger and Lenzmann [8] and confirm numerical conjectures from [1–3, 11].
Resolvent estimates for the magnetic Schrödinger operator in dimensions $$\ge 2$$
2019
It is well known that the resolvent of the free Schr\"odinger operator on weighted $L^2$ spaces has norm decaying like $\lambda^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ at energy $\lambda$. There are several works proving analogous high-frequency estimates for magnetic Schr\"odinger operators, with large long or short range potentials, in dimensions $n \geq 3$. We prove that the same estimates remain valid in all dimensions $n \geq 2$.
On Lp resolvent estimates for Laplace–Beltrami operators on compact manifolds
2014
In this article we prove Lp estimates for resolvents of Laplace–Beltrami operators on compact Riemannian manifolds, generalizing results of Kenig, Ruiz and Sogge (1987) in the Euclidean case and Shen (2001) for the torus. We follow Sogge (1988) and construct Hadamard's parametrix, then use classical boundedness results on integral operators with oscillatory kernels related to the Carleson and Sjölin condition. Our initial motivation was to obtain Lp Carleman estimates with limiting Carleman weights generalizing those of Jerison and Kenig (1985); we illustrate the pertinence of Lp resolvent estimates by showing the relation with Carleman estimates. Such estimates are useful in the constructi…
