Volume growth, capacity estimates, p-parabolicity and sharp integrability properties of p-harmonic Green functions
2023
In a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, we prove sharp growth and integrability results for $p$-harmonic Green functions and their minimal $p$-weak upper gradients. We show that these properties are determined by the growth of the underlying measure near the singularity. Corresponding results are obtained also for more general $p$-harmonic functions with poles, as well as for singular solutions of elliptic differential equations in divergence form on weighted $\mathbf{R}^n$ and on manifolds. The proofs are based on a new general capacity estimate for annuli, which implies precise pointwise estimates for $p$-harmonic Green functions…
Variational principles for fluid dynamics on rough paths
2022
In this paper, we introduce a new framework for parametrization schemes (PS) in GFD. Using the theory of controlled rough paths, we derive a class of rough geophysical fluid dynamics (RGFD) models as critical points of rough action functionals. These RGFD models characterize Lagrangian trajectories in fluid dynamics as geometric rough paths (GRP) on the manifold of diffeomorphic maps. Three constrained variational approaches are formulated for the derivation of these models. The first is the Clebsch formulation, in which the constraints are imposed as rough advection laws. The second is the Hamilton-Pontryagin formulation, in which the constraints are imposed as right-invariant rough vector…
Large time behavior for a porous medium equation in a nonhomogeneous medium with critical density
2013
We study the large time behavior of solutions to the porous medium equation in nonhomogeneous media with critical singular density $$ |x|^{-2}\partial_{t}u=��u^m, \quad \hbox{in} \ \real^N\times(0,\infty), $$ where $m>1$ and $N\geq3$. The asymptotic behavior proves to have some interesting and striking properties. We show that there are different asymptotic profiles for the solutions, depending on whether the continuous initial data $u_0$ vanishes at $x=0$ or not. Moreover, when $u_0(0)=0$, we show the convergence towards a profile presenting a discontinuity in form of a shockwave, coming from an unexpected asymptotic simplification to a conservation law, while when $u_0(0)>0$, the li…
On the modified fractional Korteweg-de Vries and related equations
2020
We consider in this paper modified fractional Korteweg-de Vries and related equations (modified Burgers-Hilbert and Whitham). They have the advantage with respect to the usual fractional KdV equation to have a defocusing case with a different dynamics. We will distinguish the weakly dispersive case where the phase velocity is unbounded for low frequencies and tends to zero at infinity and the strongly dispersive case where the phase velocity vanishes at the origin and goes to infinity at infinity. In the former case, the nonlinear hyperbolic effects dominate for large data, leading to the possibility of shock formation though the dispersive effects manifest for small initial data where scat…
Quantitative uniqueness estimates for $p$-Laplace type equations in the plane
2016
In this article our main concern is to prove the quantitative unique estimates for the $p$-Laplace equation, $1\max\{p,2\}$ or $q=p>2$, if $\|u\|_{L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2)}\leq C_0$, then $u$ satisfies the following asymptotic estimates at $R\gg 1$ \[ \inf_{|z_0|=R}\sup_{|z-z_0|<1} |u(z)| \geq e^{-CR^{1-\frac{2}{q}}\log R}, \] where $C$ depends only on $p$, $q$, $\tilde{M}$ and $C_0$. When $q=\max\{p,2\}$ and $p\in (1,2]$, under similar assumptions, we have \[ \inf_{|z_0|=R} \sup_{|z-z_0|<1} |u(z)| \geq R^{-C}, \] where $C$ depends only on $p$, $\tilde{M}$ and $C_0$. As an immediate consequence, we obtain the strong unique continuation principle (SUCP) for nontrivial solutions of this equatio…
Kernel estimates for nonautonomous Kolmogorov equations with potential term
2014
Using time dependent Lyapunov functions, we prove pointwise upper bounds for the heat kernels of some nonautonomous Kolmogorov operators with possibly unbounded drift and diffusion coefficients and a possibly unbounded potential term.
Numerical Study of breakup in generalized Korteweg-de Vries and Kawahara equations
2010
This article is concerned with a conjecture by one of the authors on the formation of dispersive shocks in a class of Hamiltonian dispersive regularizations of the quasilinear transport equation. The regularizations are characterized by two arbitrary functions of one variable, where the condition of integrability implies that one of these functions must not vanish. It is shown numerically for a large class of equations that the local behaviour of their solution near the point of gradient catastrophe for the transport equation is described locally by a special solution of a Painlev\'e-type equation. This local description holds also for solutions to equations where blow up can occur in finit…
A remark on the radial minimizer of the Ginzburg-Landau functional
2014
Let Omega subset of R-2 be a bounded domain with the same area as the unit disk B-1 and letE-epsilon(u, Omega) = 1/2 integral(Omega) vertical bar del u vertical bar(2) dx + 1/4 epsilon(2) integral(Omega) (vertical bar u vertical bar(2) - 1)(2) dxbe the Ginzburg-Landau functional. Denote by (u) over tilde (epsilon) the radial solution to the Euler equation associated to the problem min {E-epsilon (u, B-1) : u vertical bar(partial derivative B1) = x} and byK = {v = (v(1), v(2)) is an element of H-1 (Omega; R-2) : integral(Omega) v(1) dx = integral(Omega) v(2) dx = 0,integral(Omega) vertical bar v vertical bar(2) dx >= integral(B1) vertical bar(u) over tilde vertical bar(2) dx}.In this note…
Boundary regularity for degenerate and singular parabolic equations
2013
We characterise regular boundary points of the parabolic $p$-Laplacian in terms of a family of barriers, both when $p>2$ and $1<p<2$. Due to the fact that $p\not=2$, it turns out that one can multiply the $p$-Laplace operator by a positive constant, without affecting the regularity of a boundary point. By constructing suitable families of barriers, we give some simple geometric conditions that ensure the regularity of boundary points.
A Koebe distortion theorem for quasiconformal mappings in the Heisenberg group
2017
We prove a Koebe distortion theorem for the average derivative of a quasiconformal mapping between domains in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_1$. Several auxiliary properties of quasiconformal mappings between subdomains of $\mathbb{H}_1$ are proven, including distortion of balls estimates and local BMO-estimates for the logarithm of the Jacobian of a quasiconformal mapping. Applications of the Koebe theorem include diameter bounds for images of curves, comparison of integrals of the average derivative and the operator norm of the horizontal differential, as well as the study of quasiconformal densities and metrics in domains in $\mathbb{H}_1$. The theorems are discussed for…
