In this paper, we study the semilinear wave equations with the inverse-square potential. By transferring the original equation to a "fractional dimensional" wave equation and analyzing the properties of its fundamental solution, we establish a long-time existence result, for sufficiently small, spherically symmetric initial data. Together with the previously known blow-up result, we determine the critical exponent which divides the global existence and finite time blow-up. Moreover, the sharp lower bounds of the lifespan are obtained, except for certain borderline case. In addition, our technology allows us to handle an extreme case for the potential, which has hardly been discussed in literature., Comment: Final version, to appear in Journal of Differential Equations. 35 pages, 4 figures

By assuming certain local energy estimates on $(1+3)$-dimensional asymptotically flat space-time, we study the existence portion of the \emph{Strauss} type wave system. Firstly we give a kind of space-time estimates which are related to the local energy norm that appeared in \cite{MR2944027}. These estimates can be used to prove a series of weighted \emph{Strichartz} and \emph{KSS} type estimates, for wave equations on asymptotically flat space-time. Then we apply the space-time estimates to obtain the lower bound of the lifespan when the nonlinear exponents $p$ and $q\ge 2$. In particular, our bound for the subcritical case is sharp in general and we extend the known region of $(p,q)$ to admit global solutions. In addition, the initial data are not required to be compactly supported, when $p, q>2$., Comment: Final version, to appear in Discrete and Continuous Dynamical System, 16 pages, 0 figure

In this paper, we consider the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space. We investigate some new inequalities and \textit{a priori} estimates to provide the critical regularity criteria in terms of one directional derivative of the velocity field, namely $\partial_3 \mathbf{u} \in L^p((0,T); L^q(\mathbb{R}^3)), ~\frac{2}{p} + \frac{3}{q} = 2, ~\frac{3}{2}

Firstly, we study the equation $\square u = |u|^{q_c}+ |\partial u|^p$ with small data, where $q_c$ is the critical power of Strauss conjecture and $p\geq q_c.$ We obtain the optimal lifespan $\ln({T_\varepsilon})\approx\varepsilon^{-q_c(q_c-1)}$ in $n=3$, and improve the lower-bound of $T_\varepsilon$ from $\exp({c\varepsilon^{-(q_c-1)}})$ to $\exp({c\varepsilon^{-(q_c-1)^2/2}})$ in $n=2$. Then, we study the Cauchy problem with small initial data for a system of semilinear wave equations $\square u = |v|^q,$ $ \square v = |\partial_t u|^p$ in 3-dimensional space with $q<2$. We obtain that this system admits a global solution above a $p-q$ curve for spherically symmetric data. On the contrary, we get a new region where the solution will blow up., Comment: Final version, to appear in Journal of Differential Equations. 22 pages, 1 figure

By applying the delicate \textit{a priori} estimates for the equations of $(\Phi,\Gamma)$, which is introduced in the previous work, we obtain some multi-scale regularity criteria of the swirl component $u^{\theta}$ for the 3D axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. In particularly, the solution $\mathbf{u}$ can be continued beyond the time $T$, provided that $u^{\theta}$ satiesfies $$ u^{\theta} \in L^{p}_{T}L^{q_{v}}_{v}L^{q_{h},w}_{h},~~\frac{2}{p}+\frac{1}{q_{v}}+\frac{2}{q_{h}}\leq 1, ~2

In this paper, we consider the global well-posedness problem of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space $\R^N$ with $N\ge2$. In order to better reflect the characteristics of the dispersion equation, we make full use of the role of the frequency on the integrability and regularity of the solution, and prove that the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations admit global solutions when the initial data are close to a stable equilibrium in the sense of suitable hybrid Besov norm. As a consequence, the initial velocity with arbitrary $\dot{B}^{\fr{N}{2}-1}_{2,1}$ norm of potential part $\Pe^\bot u_0$ and large highly oscillating are allowed in our results. The proof relies heavily on the dispersive estimates for the system of acoustics, and a careful study of the nonlinear terms., Comment: 44pages

In this paper, we investigate the global well-posedness for the 3-D inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system with the axisymmetric initial data. We prove the global well-posedness provided that $$\|\frac{a_{0}}{r}\|_{\infty} \textrm{ and } \|u_{0}^{\theta}\|_{3} \textrm{ are sufficiently small}. $$ Furthermore, if $\mathbf{u}_0\in L^1$ and $ru^\theta_0\in L^1\cap L^2$, we have \begin{equation*} \|u^{\theta}(t)\|_{2}^{2}+\langle t\rangle \|\nabla (u^{\theta}\mathbf{e}_{\theta})(t)\|_{2}^{2}+t\langle t\rangle(\|u_{t}^{\theta}(t)\|_{2}^{2}+\|\Delta(u^{\theta}\mathbf{e}_{\theta})(t)\|_{2}^{2}) \leq C \langle t\rangle^{-\frac{5}{2}},\ \forall\ t>0. \end{equation*}, Comment: 21 pages

Consider a global wellposed problem for the incompressible Oldroyd-B model. It is shown that this set of equations admits a unique global solution provided the initial horizontal velocity $u^h_0$, the product $\om u^d_0$ of the coupling parameter $\om$ and initial the vertical velocity $u^d_0$, and initial symmetric tensor of constrains $\tau_0$ are sufficient small in the scaling invariant Besov space $\dot{B}^{\fr{d}{2}-1}_{2,1}\times\dot{B}^{\fr{d}{2}}_{2,1}, d\ge2$. In particular, the result implies the global well-posedness of Oldroyd-B model with large initial vertical velocity $u_0^d$., Comment: 24pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1410.7483

In this paper, we study the three-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes system with nonzero swirl. By establishing a new key inequality for the pair $(\frac{\omega^{r}}{r},\frac{\omega^{\theta}}{r})$, we get several Prodi-Serrin type regularity criteria based on the angular velocity, $u^\theta$. Moreover, we obtain the global well-posedness result if the initial angular velocity $u_{0}^{\theta}$ is appropriate small in the critical space $L^{3}(\R^{3})$. Furthermore, we also get several Prodi-Serrin type regularity criteria based on one component of the solutions, say $\omega^3$ or $u^3$.

In this article, we establish several almost critical regularity conditions such that the weak solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations become regular, based on one component of the solutions, say $u_3$ and $\partial_3u_3$., Comment: 18pages, 1figre. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1210.3857; and text overlap with arXiv:1005.4463 by other authors

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t +\Delta u= \lambda |u|^{\frac {4} {N-4}} u$ in $\R^N $, $N\ge 5$, with $\lambda \in \C$. We prove local well-posedness (local existence, unconditional uniqueness, continuous dependence) in the critical space $\dot H^2 (\R^N) $.

Several types of new regularity criteria for Leray-Hopf weak solutions $u$ to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations are obtained. Some of them are based on the third component $u_3$ of velocity under Prodi-Serrin index condition, another type is in terms of $\omega_3$ and $\partial_3u_3$ with Prodi-Serrin index condition. And a very recent work of the authors, based on only one of the nine entries of the gradient tensor, is renovated., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1210.3857, arXiv:1205.1255; and with arXiv:1005.4463 by other authors

In this paper we consider the local and global well-posedness to the density-dependent incompressible viscoelastic fluids. We first study some linear models associated to the incompressible viscoelastic system. Then we approximate the system by a sequence of ordinary differential equations, by means of the Friedrichs method. Some uniform estimates for those solutions will be obtained. Using compactness arguments, we will get the local existence up to extracting a subsequence by means of Ascoli's lemma. With the help of small data conditions and hybird Besov spaces, we finally derive the global existence., Comment: 23 pages

Several regularity criterions of Leray-Hopf weak solutions $u$ to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations are obtained. The results show that a weak solution $u$ becomes regular if the gradient of velocity component $\nabla_{h}{u}$ (or $ \nabla{u_3}$) satisfies the additional conditions in the class of $L^{q}(0,T; \dot{B}_{p,r}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))$, where $\nabla_{h}=(\partial_{x_{1}},\partial_{x_{2}})$ is the horizontal gradient operator. Besides, we also consider the anisotropic regularity criterion for the weak solution of Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Finally, we also get a further regularity criterion, when give the sufficient condition on $\partial_3u_3$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1005.4463 by other authors

In this article, we establish sufficient conditions for the regularity of solutions of Navier-Stokes equations based on one of the nine entries of the gradient tensor.

We establish a blow-up criterion in terms of the upper bound of the density and temperature for the strong solution to 2D compressible viscous heat-conductive flows. The initial vacuum is allowed., Comment: 18 pages

In this paper, under the hypothesis that $\rho$ is upper bounded, we construct a Lyapunov functional for the multidimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations and show that the weak solutions decay exponentially to the equilibrium state in $L^2$ norm. This can be regarded as a generalization of Matsumura and Nishida's results in 1982, since our analysis is done in the framework of Lions 1998 and Feireisl et al. 2001, the higher regularity of $(\rho, u)$ and the uniformly positive lower bound of $\rho$ are not necessary in our analysis and vacuum may be admitted. Indeed, the upper bound of the density $\rho$ plays the essential role in our proof., Comment: 9 pages

We investigate global strong solutions for the incompressible viscoelastic system of Oldroyd--B type with the initial data close to a stable equilibrium. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of the global solution in a functional setting invariant by the scaling of the associated equations, where the initial velocity has the same critical regularity index as for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations, and one more derivative is needed for the deformation tensor. Like the classical incompressible Navier-Stokes, one may construct the unique global solution for a class of large highly oscillating initial velocity. Our result also implies that the deformation tensor $F$ has the same regularity as the density of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations., Comment: 20 pages

We investigate local and global strong solutions for the incompressible viscoelastic system of Oldroyd--B type. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of a solution in a functional setting invariant by the scaling of the associated equations. More precisely, the initial velocity has the same critical regularity index as for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations, and one more derivative is needed for the deformation tensor. We point out a smoothing effect on the velocity and a $L^1-$decay on the difference between the deformation tensor and the identity matrix. Our result implies that the deformation tensor $F$ has the same regularity as the density of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations., Comment: 17 pages

For the 3D focusing cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation, Scattering of $H^1$ solutions inside the (scale invariant) potential well was established by Holmer and Roudenko~\cite{HR2} (radial case) and Duyckaerts, Holmer and Roudenko~\cite{DHR} (general case). In this paper, we extend this result to arbitrary space dimensions and focusing, mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical power nonlinearities, by adapting the method of~\cite{DHR}., Comment: 30 pages

For any subcritical index of regularity $s>3/2$, we prove the almost global well posedness for the 2-dimensional semilinear wave equation with the cubic nonlinearity in the derivatives, when the initial data are small in the Sobolev space $H^s\times H^{s-1}$ with certain angular regularity. The main new ingredient in the proof is an endpoint version of the generalized Strichartz estimates in the space $L^2_t L_{|x|}^\infty L^2_\theta ([0,T]\times \R^2)$. In the last section, we also consider the general semilinear wave equations with the spatial dimension $n\ge 2$ and the order of nonlinearity $p\ge 3$., Comment: 22 pages

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t+ \Delta u+ \lambda |u|^\alpha u=0$ in $\R^N $, in the $H^s$-subcritical and critical cases $0<\alpha \le 4/(N-2s)$, where $0

We prove the global existence of weak solutions for the 2-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient ($\lambda=\lambda(\rho)$). Initial data and solutions are small in energy-norm with nonnegative densities having arbitrarily large sup-norm. Then, we show that if there is a vacuum domain at the initial time, then the vacuum domain will retain for all time, and vanishes as time goes to infinity. At last, we show that the condition of $\mu=$constant will induce a singularity of the system at vacuum. Thus, the viscosity coefficient $\mu$ plays a key role in the Navier-Stokes equations., Comment: 32 pages

This paper is devoted to a comprehensive study of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with combined nonlinearities of the power-type and Hartree-type in any dimension n\ge3. With some structural conditions, a nearly whole picture of the interactions of these nonlinearities in the energy space is given. The method is based on the Morawetz estimates and perturbation principles.

The two-dimensional Zakharov system is shown to have a unique global solution for data without finite energy if the L^2 - norm of the Schr\"odinger part is small enough. The proof uses a refined I-method originally initiated by Colliander, Keel, Staffilani, Takaoka and Tao. A polynomial growth bound for the solution is also given., Comment: 17 pages, updated references, final version to appear in Analysis 29, 1001-1017 (2009)

In this paper we extend oblate and prolate Jaffe models into more general flattened Jaffe models. Since dynamical properties of oblate and prolate Jaffe Models have been studied by Jiang & Moss, they are not repeated here.

In this paper we outline equipotential and equidensity methods of constructing axisymmetric models for galaxies. The former method defines equipotentials, from which the corresponding densities of the galaxy models can be obtained using Poisson's equation; the latter defines the equidensity surfaces of the galaxy models directly.

In this paper, we establish an optimal dual version of trace estimate involving angular regularity. Based on this estimate, we get the generalized Morawetz estimates and weighted Strichartz estimates for the solutions to a large class of evolution equations, including the wave and Schr\"{o}dinger equation. As applications, we prove the Strauss' conjecture with a kind of mild rough data for $2\le n\le 4$, and a result of global well-posedness with small data for some nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with $L^2$-subcritical nonlinearity., Comment: Final version (corrected some typos).

In this note, by constructing suitable approximate solutions, we prove the existence of global weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq2$ (or exterior domain), when the initial data are spherically symmetric. In particular, we prove the existence of spherically symmetric solutions to the Saint-Venant model for shallow water in the whole space (or exterior domain)., Comment: 19 pages

In this paper, we consider a global wellposed problem for the 3-D incompressible anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations (\textit{ANS}). In order to do so, we first introduce the scaling invariant Besov-Sobolev type spaces, $B^{-1+\frac{2}{p},{1/2}}_{p}$ and $B^{-1+\frac{2}{p},{1/2}}_{p}(T)$, $p\geq2$. Then, we prove the global wellposedness for (\textit{ANS}) provided the initial data are sufficient small compared to the horizontal viscosity in some suitable sense, which is stronger than $B^{-1+\frac{2}{p},{1/2}}_{p}$ norm. In particular, our results imply the global wellposedness of (\textit{ANS}) with high oscillatory initial data., Comment: 39 pages

We get a local existence result in $H^s$ with $s>3/2$ for second order quasilinear wave equation with radial initial data in 2+1 dimensions, based on an improvement of Strichartz estimate in the radial case. Moreover, we get the corresponding local well-posed result for semilinear wave equation. The required index of regularity here is 1/4 less than the index 7/4, which is essentially sharp in general., Comment: 19pages, no figures

In this paper, the global well-posedness and stability of classical solutions to the multidimensional hydrodynamic model for semiconductors on the framework of Besov space are considered. We weaken the regularity requirement of the initial data, and improve some known results in Sobolev space. The local existence of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem is obtained by the regularized means and compactness argument. Using the high- and low- frequency decomposition method, we prove the global exponential stability of classical solutions (close to equilibrium). Furthermore, it is also shown that the vorticity decays to zero exponentially in the 2D and 3D space. The main analytic tools are the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and Bony's para-product formula., Comment: 18 pages

In this paper, the existence and asymptotic behavior of $C^1$ solutions to the multidimensional compressible Euler equations with damping on the framework of Besov space are considered. We weaken the regularity requirement of the initial data, and improve the well-posedness results of Sideris-Thomases-Wang (Comm.P.D.E. 28 (2003) 953). The global existence lies on a crucial a-priori estimate which is proved by the spectral localization method. The main analytic tools are the Littlewood-Paley decomposition and Bony's para-product formula., Comment: 18 pages

In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for compressible spherically symmetric Navier-Stokes equations with a gravitational force and degenerate viscosity coefficients. Under certain assumptions that imposed on the initial data, we obtain the global existence and uniqueness of the weak solution and give some uniform bounds (with respect to time) of the solution. Moreover, we obtain some stabilization rate estimates in $L^\infty$-norm and weighted $H^1$-norm of the solution. The results show that such system is stable under the small perturbations, and could be applied to the astrophysics., Comment: 34 pages

In this paper, we'll prove a L^2-concentration result of Zakharov system in space dimension two, with radial initial data (u_0,n_0,n_1)\in H^s\times L^2\times H^{-1} ({16/17}

We consider the 3-D full Navier-Stokes equations whose the viscosity coefficients and the thermal conductivity coefficient depend on the density and the temperature. We prove the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solution in a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. The initial density may vanish in an open set and $\Omega$ could be a bounded or unbounded domain. We also prove a blow-up criterion for the solution. Finally, we show the blow-up of the smooth solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq1$) when the initial density has compactly support and the initial total momentum is nonzero., Comment: 36 pages

In this paper, we study the ill-posdness of the Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equation with very low regularity, where the nonlinear term depends on $u$ and $\partial_t u$. We prove a ill-posedness result for the "defocusing" case, and give an alternative proof for the supercritical "focusing" case, which improves our previous result in Chin. Ann. Math. Ser.

In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for compressible spherically symmetric Navier-Stokes equations without a solid core. Under certain assumptions imposed on the initial data, we obtain the global existence and uniqueness of the weak solution, give some uniform bounds (with respect to time) of the solution and show that it converges to a stationary one as time tends to infinity. Moreover, we obtain the stabilization rate estimates of exponential type in $L^\infty$-norm and weighted $H^1$-norm of the solution by constructing some Lyapunov functionals. The results show that such system is stable under the small perturbations, and could be applied to the astrophysics., Comment: 38 pages

By using the Strichartz esitmate and Picard iteration, we prove the subcritical(critical in some cases) global solution in $C_t H_x^s\cap C_t^1 H^{s-1}_x$ with small data for semilinear wave equation with nonlinearity of type $(\partial u)^k$($k\ge 1+\frac{4}{n-1}\vee 2$ and $(n,k)\neq (3,3)$). For $(n,k)=(3,3)$, we get the almost global existence. In addition, we give the global existence with radial data when $k> 1+\frac{2}{n-1}\vee 2$., Comment: 4 pages, version 3, the sharpness for the result is explained

We give several remarks on Strichartz estimates for homogeneous wave equation with special attention to the cases of $L^\infty_x$ estimates, radial solutions and initial data from the inhomogeneous Sobolev spaces. In particular, we give the failure of the endpoint estimate $L^4_t L^\infty_x$ for $n=2$., Comment: 9 pages with 5 figures; some typos corrected
