In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of transmission system for coupled Kirchhoff plates, where one equation is conserved and the other has dissipative property, and the dissipation mechanism is given by fractional damping (- Δ) 2 θ v t with θ ∈ [ 1 2 , 1 ] . By using the semigroup method and the multiplier technique, we obtain the exact polynomial decay rates, and find that the polynomial decay rate of the system is determined by the inertia/elasticity ratios and the fractional damping order. Specifically, when the inertia/elasticity ratios are not equal and θ ∈ [ 1 2 , 3 4 ] , the polynomial decay rate of the system is t - 1 / (10 - 4 θ) . When the inertia/elasticity ratios are not equal and θ ∈ [ 3 4 , 1 ] , the polynomial decay rate of the system is t - 1 / (4 + 4 θ) . When the inertia/elasticity ratios are equal, the polynomial decay rate of the system is t - 1 / (4 + 4 θ) . Furthermore it has been proven that the obtained decay rates are all optimal. The obtained results extend the results of Oquendo and Suárez (Z Angew Math Phys 70(3):88, 2019) for the case of fractional damping exponent 2 θ from [0, 1] to [1, 2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this note, we make two revisions of the paper [2]. The first one is the asymptotic behavior of the energy functional as t → T (see [2, Theorem 1.6]), where T is the blow-up time. The second one is the equivalent conditions for the solutions blowing up in finite time or existing globally (see [2, Theorem 1.8]). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the equation - Δ u + μ u = f on high-dimensional spaces R m , where the right-hand side f (x) = F (T x) is composed of a separable function F with an integrable Fourier transform on a space of a dimension n > m and a linear mapping given by a matrix T of full rank and μ ≥ 0 is a constant. For example, the right-hand side can explicitly depend on differences x i - x j of components of x. Following our publication (Yserentant in Numer Math 146:219–238, 2020), we show that the solution of this equation can be expanded into sums of functions of the same structure and develop in this framework an equally simple and fast iterative method for its computation. The method is based on the observation that in almost all cases and for large problem classes the expression ‖ T t y ‖ 2 deviates on the unit sphere ‖ y ‖ = 1 the less from its mean value the higher the dimension m is, a concentration of measure effect. The higher the dimension m, the faster the iteration converges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is devoted to the introduction of a new class of generalized set-valued nonlinear variational-like inequality problems in the setting of Banach spaces. By means of the notion of P- η -proximal mapping, we prove its equivalence with a class of generalized implicit Wiener–Hopf equations and employ the obtained equivalence relationship and Nadler's technique to suggest a new iterative algorithm for finding an approximate solution of the considered problem. The existence of solution and the strong convergence of the sequences generated by our proposed iterative algorithm to the solution of our considered problem are verified. The problem of finding a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized nonlinear variational-like inequality problem and the set of fixed points of a total asymptotically nonexpansive mapping is also investigated. The final section deals with the investigation and analysis of the main results appeared in Kazmi and Bhat (Appl Math Comput 166:164–180, 2005) and some comments relating to them are given. The results presented in this article extend and improve some known results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a sliding method to investigate the monotonicity of solutions for nonlocal double phase equations. We first derive a narrow region principle in bounded domains. Then we illustrate how to utilize this new method of sliding to obtain monotonicity of solutions for nonlocal double phase equations in bounded domains and the whole space respectively.

In this paper, we mainly study the asymptotic monotonicity of positive solutions for fractional parabolic equation on the right half space. First, a narrow region principle for antisymmetric functions in unbounded domains is obtained, in which we remarkably weaken the decay condition u → 0 at infinity and only assume its growth rate does not exceed | x | γ (0 < γ < 2 s ) compared with (Adv. Math. 377:107463, 2021). Then we obtain asymptotic monotonicity of positive solutions of fractional parabolic equation on R + N × (0 , ∞) . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the popularity of the core-EP (c-EP) and weighted core-EP (w-c-EP) inverses, so called one-sided versions of the w-c-EP inverse are introduced recently in Behera et al. (Results Math 75:174 (2020). These extensions are termed as E-w-c-EP and F-w-d-c-EP g-inverses as well as the star E-w-c-EP and the F-w-d-c-EP star classes of g-inverses. The applicability of these g-inverses in solving certain restricted matrix equations has been verified. Several additional results on these classes of g-inverses are established in this paper. In addition, the Moore–Penrose E-w-c-EP inverse and the F-w-d-c-EP Moore–Penrose inverse are proposed using proper expressions that involve the Moore–Penrose inverse and the E-w-c-EP or F-we-d-c-EP inverse. Further, the W-weighted Moore–Penrose c-EP and the W-weighted c-EP Moore–Penrose g-inverses are considered with the aim to extend the considered w-c-EP generalized inverses to rectangular matrices. Characterizations, properties, representations and applications of these inverses are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A challenging open problem in the 3D Hall-MHD theory is to ask whether or not the global weak solutions are smooth. In this paper, we prove that a weak solution is smooth if the diagonal part of the velocity gradient tensor and the non-diagonal part of the magnetic gradient tensor satisfy Ladyzhenskaya–Prodi–Serrin-type conditions. It is physically interesting since the diagonal part of a gradient tensor is related to the deformation while the non-diagonal part is related to the rotation. Moreover, our main theorems improve significantly a criterion in Ye (Comput Math Appl 70(8):2137–2154, 2015) where all entries of the velocity gradient tensor and the magnetic gradient tensor are needed.

This paper addresses an article by Felix Klein of 1886, in which he generalized his theory of polynomial equations of degree 5—comprehensively discussed in his Lectures on the Icosahedron two years earlier—to equations of degree 6 and 7. To do so, Klein used results previously established in line geometry. I review Klein's 1886 article, its diverse mathematical background, and its place within the broader history of mathematics. I argue that the program advanced by this article, although historically overlooked due to its eventual failure, offers a valuable insight into a time of crucial evolution of the subject.

This paper is devoted to studying Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with distribution-valued coefficients, which are not well-defined in the classical sense and are understood by using the paracontrolled distribution method introduced in (Gubinelli et al. in Forum Math Pi 3(6):1, 2015). By a new characterization of weighted Hölder spaces and Zvonkin's transformation we prove some new a priori estimates, and therefore establish the global well-posedness for singular HJB equations. As applications, we obtain global well-posedness in polynomial weighted Hölder spaces for KPZ type equations on the real line, as well as modified KPZ equations for which the Cole–Hopf transformation is not applicable.

Fifty years ago, a small one and a half page paper without a single reference was published in the leading journal Nature. The paper laid out the most general mathematical formulation of natural selection that would work for all kinds of selection processes and under any form of inheritance (not just biological evolution and Mendelian genes), although the paper discussed the issue in a genetical framework. Written by a maverick American expatriate in England, with no prior background of studying evolution or genetics, the paper had initially been turned down by the editor of Nature as too difficult to understand. Largely ignored by the evolutionary biology community till the 1990s, the Price Equation is now widely recognized as an extremely useful conceptualization, permitting the incorporation of non-genetic inheritance into evolutionary models, serving to clarify the relationship between kin-selection and group-selection, unifying varied approaches used in the past to model evolutionary change, and forming the foundation of multi-level selection theory.

In this paper, we prove a localised version of the bounded L 2 -curvature theorem of (Klainerman et al. Invent Math 202(1):91–216, 2015). More precisely, we consider initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations posed on a compact spacelike hypersurface Σ with boundary, and show that the time of existence of a classical solution depends only on an L 2 -bound on the Ricci curvature, an L 4 -bound on the second fundamental form of ∂ Σ ⊂ Σ , an H 1 -bound on the second fundamental form, and a lower bound on the volume radius at scale 1 of Σ . Our localisation is achieved by first proving a localised bounded L 2 -curvature theorem for small data posed on B(0, 1), and then using the scaling of the Einstein equations and a low regularity covering argument on Σ to reduce from large data on Σ to small data on B(0, 1). The proof uses the author's previous works and the bounded L 2 -curvature theorem as black boxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we characterize random variables which are stable but not strictly stable in the sense of generalized convolution. We generalize the results obtained in Jarczyk and Misiewicz (J Theoret Probab 22:482-505, 2009), Misiewicz and Mazurkiewicz (J Theoret Probab 18:837-852, 2005), Oleszkiewicz (in Milman VD and Schechtman Lecture Notes in Math. 1807, Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis (2003), Israel Seminar 2001–2002, Springer-Verlag, Berlin). The main problem was to find the solution of the following functional equation for symmetric generalized characteristic functions φ , ψ : ∀ a , b ≥ 0 ∃ c (a , b) ≥ 0 ∃ d (a , b) ≥ 0 ∀ t ≥ 0 φ (a t) φ (b t) = φ (c (a , b) t) ψ (d (a , b) t) , (A) where both functions c and d are continuous, symmetric, homogeneous but unknown. We give the solution of equation (A) assuming that for fixed ψ , c , d there exist at least two different solutions of (A). To solve (A) we also determine the functions that satisfy the equation (f (t (x + y)) - f (t x)) (f (x + y) - f (y)) = (f (t (x + y)) - f (t y)) (f (x + y) - f (x)) , (B) x , y , t > 0 , for a function f : (0 , ∞) → R . As an additional result we infer that each Lebesgue measurable or Baire measurable function f satisfying equation (B) is infinitely differentiable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the three dimensional free-boundary compressible elastodynamic system under the Rayleigh–Taylor sign condition. This describes the motion of an isentropic inviscid elastic medium with moving boundary. The deformation tensor is assumed to satisfy the neo-Hookean linear elasticity. The local well-posedness was proved by Trakhinin (J Differ Eq 264(3):1661–1715, 2018) by Nash–Moser iteration. In this paper, we give a new proof of the local well-posedness by the combination of classical energy method and hyperbolic approach. In the proof, we apply the tangential smoothing method to define the approximation system. The key observation is that the structure of the wave equation of pressure together with Christodoulou–Lindblad (Commun Pure Appl Math 53(12):1536–1602, 2000) elliptic estimates reduces the energy estimates to the control of tangentially-differentiated wave equations despite a potential loss of derivative in the source term. To the best of our knowledge, we first establish the nonlinear energy estimate without loss of regularity for free-boundary compressible elastodynamics. The energy estimate is also uniform in sound speed which yields the incompressible limit, that is, the solutions of the free-boundary compressible elastodynamic equations converge to the incompressible counterpart provided the convergence of initial datum. It is worth emphasizing that our method is completely applicable to compressible Euler equations. Our observation also shows that it is not necessary to include the full time derivatives in the boundary energy and analyze higher order wave equations as in Lindblad–Luo (Commun Pure Appl Math 71(7):1273–1333, 2018) and Luo (Ann. PDE 4(2):2506–2576, 2018) even if we require the energy is uniform in sound speed. Moreover, the enhanced regularity for compressible Euler equations obtained in Lindblad–Luo (Commun Pure Appl Math 71(7):1273–1333, 2018) and Luo (Ann. PDE 4(2):2506–2576, 2018) can still be recovered for a slightly compressible elastic medium by further delicate analysis of the Alinhac good unknowns, which is completely different from Euler equations.

In this paper we study the theory Q. We prove a basic result that says that, in a sense explained in the paper, Q can be split into two parts. We prove some consequences of this result. (i) Q is not a poly-pair theory. This means that, in a strong sense, pairing cannot be defined in Q. (ii) Q does not have the Pudlák Property. This means that there two interpretations of $$\mathsf{S}^1_2$$ in Q which do not have a definably isomorphic cut. (iii) Q is not sententially equivalent with $$\mathsf{PA}^-$$ . This tells us that we cannot do much better than mutual faithful interpretability as a measure of sameness of Q and $$\mathsf{PA}^-$$ . We briefly consider the idea of characterizing Q as the minimal-in-some-sense theory of some kind modulo some equivalence relation. We show that at least one possible road towards this aim is closed.

In this paper, an efficient (G ′ / G , 1 / G) -expansion method is adopted to resolve a famous (2 + 1)-dimensional fractional Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) water wave equation for the non-conservative system that plays a significant role in understanding the wave propagation. This work addresses the physical and dynamic behavior of some new exact trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational solitary wave solutions in the form of 3D-plots and contour plots using different measures of parameters. The obtained results show the efficiency of the proposed method for the analytical treatment of nonlinear problems in mathematics, science and engineering and may be helpful in better understanding the propagating wave dynamics in diverse situations.

In this paper we derive and analyse a class of linearly implicit schemes which includes the one of Feistauer and Kučera (J Comput Phys 224:208–221, 2007) as well as the class of RS-IMEX schemes (Schütz and Noelle in J Sci Comp 64:522–540, 2015; Kaiser et al. in J Sci Comput 70:1390–1407, 2017; Bispen et al. in Commun Comput Phys 16:307–347, 2014; Zakerzadeh in ESAIM Math Model Numer Anal 53:893–924, 2019). The implicit part is based on a Jacobian matrix which is evaluated at a reference state. This state can be either the solution at the old time level as in Feistauer and Kučera (2007), or a numerical approximation of the incompressible limit equations as in Zeifang et al. (Commun Comput Phys 27:292–320, 2020), or possibly another state. Subsequently, it is shown that this class of methods is asymptotically preserving under the assumption of a discrete Hilbert expansion. For a one-dimensional setting with some limitations on the reference state, the existence of a discrete Hilbert expansion is shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Makeenko and Migdal (Phys Lett B 88(1):135–137, 1979) gave heuristic identities involving the expectation of the product of two Wilson loop functionals associated to splitting a single loop at a self-intersection point. Kazakov and Kostov (Nucl Phys B 176(1):199–215, 1980) reformulated the Makeenko–Migdal equations in the plane case into a form which made rigorous sense. Nevertheless, the first rigorous proof of these equations (and their generalizations) was not given until the fundamental paper of Lévy (2017). Subsequently Driver, Kemp, and Hall Commun. Math. Phys. 351(2), 741–774 (2017) gave a simplified proof of Lévy's result and then with Driver, Gabriel, Kemp, and Hall Commun. Math. Phys. 352(3), 967–978 (2017) we showed that these simplified proofs extend to the Yang–Mills measure over arbitrary compact surfaces. All of the proofs to date are elementary but tricky exercises in finite dimensional integration by parts. The goal of this article is to give a rigorous functional integral proof of the Makeenko–Migdal equations guided by the original heuristic machinery invented by Makeenko and Migdal. Although this stochastic proof is technically more difficult, it is conceptually clearer and explains "why" the Makeenko–Migdal equations are true. It is hoped that this paper will also serve as an introduction to some of the problems involved in making sense of quantizing Yang–Mill's fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a class of Choquard equations with Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev lower or upper critical exponent in the whole space R N . We combine an argument of L. Jeanjean and H. Tanaka (see (Proc. Am. Math.

The classical result of L. Székelyhidi states that (under some assumptions) every solution of a general linear equation must be a polynomial function. It is known that Székelyhidi's result may be generalized to equations where some occurrences of the unknown functions are multiplied by a linear combination of the variables. In this paper we study the equations where two such combinations appear. The simplest nontrivial example of such a case is given by the equation F (x + y) - F (x) - F (y) = y f (x) + x f (y) considered by Fechner and Gselmann (Publ Math Debrecen 80(1–2):143–154, 2012). In the present paper we prove several results concerning the systematic approach to the generalizations of this equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study a class of semilinear wave-type equations with viscoelastic damping and delay feedback with time variable coefficient. By combining semigroup arguments, careful energy estimates and an iterative approach we are able to prove, under suitable assumptions, a well-posedness result and an exponential decay estimate for solutions corresponding to small initial data. This extends and concludes the analysis initiated in Nicaise and Pignotti (J Evol Equ 15:107–129, 2015) and then developed in Komornik and Pignotti (Math Nachr, to appear, 2018), Nicaise and Pignotti (Evol Equ 18:947–971, 2018).

In this paper, we are concerned with the hydrodynamic limit to rarefaction waves of the compressible Euler system for the Landau equation with Coulomb potentials as the Knudsen number ε > 0 is vanishing. Precisely, whenever ε > 0 is small, for the Cauchy problem on the Landau equation with suitable initial data involving a scaling parameter a ∈ [ 2 3 , 1 ] , we construct the unique global-in-time uniform-in- ε solution around a local Maxwellian whose fluid quantities are the rarefaction wave of the corresponding Euler system. In the meantime, we establish the convergence of solutions to the Riemann rarefaction wave uniformly away from t = 0 at a rate ε 3 5 - 2 5 a | ln ε | as ε → 0 . The proof is based on the refined energy approach combining Guo (Commun Math Phys 231:391–434, 2002) and Liu et al. (Physica D 188:178–192, 2004) under the scaling transformation (t , x) → (ε - a t , ε - a x) . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the author studies the local existence of strong solutions and their possible blow-up in time for a quasilinear system describing the interaction of a short wave induced by an electron field with a long wave representing an extension of the motion of the director field in a nematic liquid crystal's asymptotic model introduced in [Saxton, R. A., Dynamic instability of the liquid crystal director. In: Current Progress in Hyperbolic Systems (Lindquist, W. B., ed.), Contemp. Math., Vol.100, Amer. Math.

Lower a posteriori error bounds obtained using the standard bubble function approach are reviewed in the context of anisotropic meshes. A numerical example is given that clearly demonstrates that the short-edge jump residual terms in such bounds are not sharp. Hence, for linear finite element approximations of the Laplace equation in polygonal domains, a new approach is employed to obtain essentially sharper lower a posteriori error bounds and thus to show that the upper error estimator in the recent paper (Kopteva in Numer Math 137:607–642, 2017) is efficient on partially structured anisotropic meshes.

The isospectral deformations of the Frobenius–Stickelberger–Thiele (FST) polynomials introduced in Spiridonov et al. (Commun Math Phys 272:139–165, 2007) are studied. For a specific choice of the deformation of the spectral measure, one is led to an integrable lattice (FST lattice), which is indeed an isospectral flow connected with a generalized eigenvalue problem. In the second part of the paper the spectral problem used previously in the study of the modified Camassa–Holm (mCH) peakon lattice is interpreted in terms of the FST polynomials together with the associated FST polynomials, resulting in a map from the mCH peakon lattice to a negative flow of the finite FST lattice. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the degenerate case of the finite FST lattice unexpectedly maps to the interlacing peakon ODE system associated with the two-component mCH equation studied in Chang et al. (Adv Math 299:1–35, 2016). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with strictly k-convex large solutions to Hessian equations Sk(D2u(x)) = b(x)f(u(x)), x ∈ Ω, where Ω is a strictly (k − 1)-convex and bounded smooth domain in ℝn, b ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ¯) is positive in Ω, but may be vanishing on the boundary. Under a new structure condition on f at infinity, the author studies the refined boundary behavior of such solutions. The results are obtained in a more general setting than those in [Huang, Y., Boundary asymptotical behavior of large solutions to Hessian equations, Pacific J. Math., 244, 2010, 85–98], where f is regularly varying at infinity with index p > k. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a system of two viscoelastic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. For certain class of relaxation functions and initial data, we establish general and optimal decay results. This result extends earlier one of Liu (Nonlinear Anal. TMA 71:2257–2267, 2010), in which only the usual exponential and polynomial decay rates are considered. The conditions of the relaxation functions g 1 (t) and g 2 (t) in our work appeared first in Messaoudi and Khulaifi (Appl. Math. Lett. 66:16–22, 2017). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In previous work (Alves et al. in Z Angew Math Phys 69:106, 2018), by using the linear semigroup theory, Alves et al. investigated the existence and exponential stability results for a Moore–Gibson–Thompson model encompassing memory of type 1, 2 or 3 in a history space framework. In this paper, we continue to consider the similar problem with type 1 and establish explicit and general decay results of energy for system in both the subcritical and critical cases, by introducing suitable energy and perturbed Lyapunov functionals and following convex functions ideas presented in Guesmia (J Math Anal Appl 382:748–760, 2011). Our results allow a much larger class of the convolution kernels which improves the earlier related results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, finite time blow-up property of solutions to a p-Kirchhoff-type parabolic equation with general nonlinearity is considered. Some sufficient conditions are given for the weak solutions to blow up in finite time. An upper bound for the blow-up time is also derived. The results partially generalize some recent ones reported by Han and Li (Comput Math Appl. 2018;75:3283–3297). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we generalize the results of Evans and Tabrizian (SIAM J Math Anal 48:2944–2961, 2016), by deriving asymptotics for the time-rescaled Kramers–Smoluchowski equations, in the case of a general non-symmetric potential function with multiple wells. The asymptotic limit is described by a system of reaction–diffusion equations whose coefficients are determined by the Kramers constants at the saddle points of the potential function and the Hessians of the potential function at global minima.

In this paper, we investigate the stability of the solutions of a viscoelastic plate equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity. We assume that the relaxation function g satisfies the minimal condition g ′ (t) ≤ − ξ (t) G (g (t)) , where ξ and G satisfy some properties. With this very general assumption on the behavior of g, we establish explicit and general energy decay results from which we can recover the exponential and polynomial rates when G (s) = s p and p covers the full admissible range [ 1 , 2) . Our new results substantially improve and generalize several earlier related results in the literature such as Gorka (Acta Phys. Pol. 40:59–66, 2009), Hiramatsu et al. (J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. 2010(06):008, 2010), Han and Wang (Acta Appl. Math. 110(1):195–207, 2010), Messaoudi and Al-Khulaifi (Appl. Math. Lett. 66:16–22, 2017), Mustafa (Math. Methods Appl.

This paper characterizes the norm of the residual of mixed schemes in their natural functional framework with fluxes or stresses in $$H({{\mathrm{div}}})$$ and displacements in $$L^2$$ . Under some natural conditions on an associated Fortin interpolation operator, reliable and efficient error estimates are introduced that circumvent the duality technique and so do not suffer from reduced elliptic regularity for non-convex domains. For the Laplace, Stokes, and Lamé equations, this generalizes known estimators to non-convex domains and introduces new a posteriori error estimators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the convergence of nonlinear Dirichlet problems for systems of variational elliptic PDEs defined on randomly perforated domains of Rn\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\mathbb {R}^n$$\end{document}. Under the assumption that the perforations are small balls whose centres and radii are generated by a stationary short-range marked point process, we obtain in the critical-scaling limit an averaged nonlinear analogue of the extra term obtained in the classical work of Cioranescu and Murat (Res Notes Math III, 1982). In analogy to the random setting recently introduced by Giunti, Höfer and Velázquez (Commun Part Differ Equ 43(9):1377–1412, 2018) to study the Poisson equation, we only require that the random radii have finite (n-q)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$(n-q)$$\end{document}-moment, where 1q-capacity of the spherical holes is finite, and hence that the limit problem is well defined. On the other hand, it does not exclude the presence of balls with large radii, that can cluster up. We show however that the critical rescaling of the perforations is sufficient to ensure that no percolating-like structures appear in the limit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We develop the asymptotic analysis as ε→0 for the natural gradient flow of the self-dual U(1)-Higgs energies on Hermitian line bundles over closed manifolds (Mn,g) of dimension n≥3, showing that solutions converge in a measure-theoretic sense to codimension-two mean curvature flows—i.e., integral (n−2)-Brakke flows—generalizing results of (Pigati and Stern in Invent. Math. 223:1027–1095, 2021) from the stationary case. Given any integral (n−2)-cycle Γ0 in M, these results can be used together with the convergence theory developed in (Parise et al. in Convergence of the self-dual U(1)-Yang–Mills–Higgs energies to the (n−2)-area functional, 2021, arXiv:2103.14615) to produce nontrivial integral Brakke flows starting at Γ0 with additional structure, similar to those produced via Ilmanen's elliptic regularization.

In this paper we prove optimal regularity for the convex envelope of supersolutions to general fully nonlinear elliptic equations with unbounded coefficients. More precisely, we deal with coefficients and right hand sides (RHS) in Lq with q ≥ n . This extends the result of Caffarelli on the C loc 1 , 1 regularity of the convex envelope of supersolutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations with bounded RHS. Moreover, we also provide a regularity result with estimates for ω -semiconvex functions that are supersolutions to the same type of equations with unbounded RHS (i.e, RHS in L q , q ≥ n ). By a completely different method, our results here extend the recent regularity results obtained by Braga et al. (Adv Math 334:184–242, 2018) for q > n , as far as fully nonlinear PDEs are concerned. These results include, in particular, the apriori estimate obtained by Caffarelli et al. (Commun Pure Appl Math 38(2):209–252, 1985) on the modulus of continuity of the gradient of ω -semiconvex supersolutions (for linear equations and bounded RHS) that have a Hölder modulus of semiconvexity.

A one-sided limit order book is modeled as a noncooperative game for several players. Agents offer various quantities of an asset at different prices, competing to fulfill an incoming order, whose size is not known a priori. Players can have different payoff functions, reflecting different beliefs about the fundamental value of the asset and probability distribution of the random incoming order. In a previous paper, the existence of a Nash equilibrium was established by means of a fixed point argument. The main issue discussed in the present paper is whether this equilibrium can be obtained from the unique solution to a two-point boundary value problem, for a suitable system of discontinuous ordinary differential equations. Some additional assumptions are introduced, which yield a positive answer. In particular, this is true when there are exactly two players, or when all players assign the same exponential probability distribution to the incoming order. In both of these cases, we also prove that the Nash equilibrium is unique. A counterexample shows that these assumptions cannot be removed, in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study global regularity for oblique boundary value problems of augmented Hessian equations for a class of general operators. By assuming a natural convexity condition of the domain together with appropriate convexity conditions on the matrix function in the augmented Hessian, we develop a global theory for classical elliptic solutions by establishing global a priori derivative estimates up to second order. Besides the known applications for Monge-Ampère type operators in optimal transportation and geometric optics, the general theory here embraces Neumann problems arising from prescribed mean curvature problems in conformal geometry as well as general oblique boundary value problems for augmented k-Hessian, Hessian quotient equations and certain degenerate equations.

The SOR-like iteration method for solving the system of absolute value equations of finding a vector x such that A x - | x | - b = 0 with ν = ‖ A - 1 ‖ 2 < 1 is investigated. The convergence conditions of the SOR-like iteration method proposed by Ke and Ma (Appl. Math. Comput., 311:195–202, 2017) are revisited and a new proof is given, which exhibits some insights in determining the convergent region and the optimal iteration parameter. Along this line, the optimal parameter which minimizes ‖ T ν (ω) ‖ 2 with T ν (ω) = | 1 - ω | ω 2 ν | 1 - ω | | 1 - ω | + ω 2 ν and the approximate optimal parameter which minimizes an upper bound of ‖ T ν (ω) ‖ 2 are explored. The optimal and approximate optimal parameters are iteration-independent, and the bigger value of ν is, the smaller convergent region of the iteration parameter ω is. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate that the SOR-like iteration method with the optimal parameter is superior to that with the approximate optimal parameter proposed by Guo et al. (Appl. Math. Lett., 97:107–113, 2019). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It was proved in Forti and Schwaiger (C R Math Acad Sci Soc R Can 11(6):215–220, 1989), Schwaiger (Aequ Math 35:120–121, 1988) and with different methods in Schwaiger (Developments in functional equations and related topics. Selected papers based on the presentations at the 16th international conference on functional equations and inequalities, ICFEI, Bȩdlewo, Poland, May 17–23, 2015, Springer, Cham, pp 275–295, 2017) that under the assumption that every function defined on suitable abelian semigroups with values in a normed space such that the norm of its Cauchy difference is bounded by a constant (function) is close to some additive function, i.e., the norm of the difference between the given function and that additive function is also bounded by a constant, the normed space must necessarily be complete. By Schwaiger (Ann Math Sil 34:151–163, 2020) this is also true in the non-archimedean case. Here we discuss the situation when the bound is a suitable non-constant function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with the spreading (persistence) and vanishing (extinction) of a disease which is characterized by a diffusive SIRS model with a bilinear incidence rate and free boundary. Through discussing the dynamics of a free boundary problem of an SIRS model, the spreading of a disease is described. We get the sufficient conditions which ensure the disease spreading or vanishing. In addition, the estimate of the expanding speed is also given when the free boundaries extend to the whole $$\mathbb {R}$$ . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The accuracy of analytical obtained solutions of the fractional nonlinear space–time telegraph equation that has been constructed in (Hamed and Khater in J. Math., 2020) is checked through five recent semi-analytical and numerical techniques. Adomian decomposition (AD), El Kalla (EK), cubic B-spline (CBS), extended cubic B-spline (ECBS), and exponential cubic B-spline (ExCBS) schemes are used to explain the matching between analytical and approximate solutions, which shows the accuracy of constructed traveling wave solutions. In 1880, Oliver Heaviside derived the considered model to describe the cutting-edge or voltage of an electrified transmission. The matching between solutions has been explained by plotting them in some different sketches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider optimal control problems of quasilinear elliptic equations with gradient coefficients arising in variable viscosity fluid flow. The state equation is monotone and the controls are of distributed type. We prove that the control-to-state operator is twice Fréchet differentiable for this class of equations. A finite element approximation is studied and an estimate of optimal order h is obtained for the control. The result makes use of the distributed structure of the controls, together with a regularity estimate for elliptic equations with Hölder coefficients and a second order sufficient optimality condition. The paper ends with a numerical experiment, where the approximation order is computationally tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the Cauchy problem for three-dimensional viscous, compressible, and heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic equations with vacuum as far field density. We prove the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions provided that the quantity ‖ ρ 0 ‖ L ∞ + ‖ b 0 ‖ L 3 is suitably small and the viscosity coefficients satisfy 3 μ > λ . Here, the initial velocity and initial temperature could be large. The assumption on the initial density does not exclude that the initial density may vanish in a subset of R 3 and that it can be of a nontrivially compact support. Our result is an extension of the works of Fan and Yu (Nonlinear Anal Real World Appl 10:392–409, 2009) and Li et al. (SIAM J Math Anal 45:1356–1387, 2013), where the local strong solutions in three dimensions and the global strong solutions for isentropic case were obtained, respectively. The analysis is based on some new mathematical techniques and some new useful energy estimates. This paper can be viewed as the first result concerning the global existence of strong solutions with vacuum at infinity in some classes of large data in higher dimension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper determines when the Cauchy problem ∂ t u = Δ u - V u + W u p in M × (0 , ∞) u (· , 0) = u 0 (·) in M has no global positive solution on a connected non-compact geodesically complete Riemannian manifold for a given triple (V, W, p). As the principal result of this paper, Theorem 1.1 optimally extends in a unified way most of the previous results in this subject (cf. Ishige in J Math Anal Appl 344:231–237, 2008; Pinsky in J Differ Equ 246(6):2561–2576, 2009; Zhang in Duke Math J 97:515–539, 1999; Zhang in J Differ Equ 170:188–214, 2001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, through maximal regularity estimates for the Stokes equation, we study the local well-posedness of strong solutions to the 3D MHD equations with Hall and ion-slip effects under the condition that the initial data (u 0 , B 0) ∈ H 1 2 + ε (R 3) × H 2 (R 3) and any ε ∈ (0 , 1) . This is an improvement of the recent results given by Fan et al. (Z Angew Math Phys, 2015). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we show that the hyperstability of the general linear equation recently proved by Piszczek (Aequationes Math 88:163–168, 2014) is a direct consequence of that of the Cauchy equation proved earlier by Brzdȩk (Acta Math Hung 141:58–67, 2013). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two boundary value problems in which one of the conditions is nonlocal and contains a real parameter are studied for an equation of mixed type in a half-strip. Sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of these problems are obtained under some restrictions on the parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For monoatomic 2-lattices, we examine what kind of solutions for the shift vector a recently proposed (Sfyris in Math Mech Sol 28:973–988, 2023) linear theory predicts. We compare our results with that of Fadda and Zanzotto (Acta Cryst 57:492–506, 2001), Fadda and Zanzotto (Int J Nonl Mech 36:527–547, 2001), Ericksen (J Elast 55:201–218, 1999) and Ericksen (Arch Rat Mech Anal 148:145–178, 1999) taken from a fundamentally different approach. For monoatomic 3-lattices, we find conditions for ruling the shift vectors out of the analysis. For cases where the unique solution of the shift vector in terms of the strain tensor is not possible, we give conditions for the existence of solutions based on the standard Fredholm alternative theorem. Our analysis, essentially, applies a recently proposed general continuum linear theory in low-dimensional multilattices. Simultaneously, is targets to give specific meaning and tractable calculations to theories of multilattices that many issues are only studied at the theoretical level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We derive residue formulas for the regularized integrals (introduced by Li and Zhou in Commun Math Phys 388:1403–1474, 2021) on configuration spaces of elliptic curves. Based on these formulas, we prove that the regularized integrals satisfy holomorphic anomaly equations, providing a mathematical formulation of the so-called contact term singularities. We also discuss residue formulas for the ordered A-cycle integrals and establish their relations with those for the regularized integrals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
