Singularly perturbed hyperbolic problems on metric graphs: asymptotics of solutions

Abstract

We are interested in evolution phenomena on star-like networks composed of several branches which vary considerably in physical properties. The initial boundary value problem for singularly perturbed hyperbolic differential equation on a metric graph is studied. The hyperbolic equation becomes degenerate on a part of the graph as a small parameter goes to zero. In addition, the rates of degeneration may differ in different edges of the graph. Using the boundary layer method the complete asymptotic expansions of solutions are constructed and justified.

On the inhomogeneous discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equations

In this paper, we study the family of inhomogeneous discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equations \begin{equation}\label{hjs1} λ(x)u+h(x,d_x u)=c \quad \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation} on a closed manifold $M$ with a non-identically vanishing discount factor $λ(x)$. There is a critical value $c_0\in[-\infty,\infty)$ such that \eqref{hjs1} admits a viscosity solution if $c>c_0$ and no solution if $c c_0$. In this case, we determine the basin of the stable solution and investigate the long-time behavior of the solution semigroup associated with \eqref{hjs1}. In particular, we obtain a formula relating the lowest convergence rate of the solution semigroup near a stable solution to a minimizing problem concerning the integral of $λ$ over Mather measures supporting on the $1$-graph of the stable solution. This formula has two direct consequences: 1) it yields a description of their asymptotic behavior as $c$ tends to infinity; 2) it helps to classify the ergodic Mather measures and locate their distribution in the phase space. The second consequence leads to a dynamical necessary condition for $c=c_0$.

Global existence of weak solutions to a nematic electrolyte model in 2D

In this paper, we study a system of partial differential equations modeling the dynamics of nematic electrolytes on a two-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. The model couples the Poisson--Nernst--Planck equations for the evolution of ion concentrations and electrostatic potential with the Ericksen-Leslie equations for the flow and orientation of nematic liquid crystals. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to this system. The proof relies on a Ginzburg-Landau approximation scheme. Key steps include deriving uniform energy estimates and establishing the strong convergence of the director field by utilizing a Pohozaev-type identity to handle the lack of compactness in the Ericksen stress tensor.

Shock profiles for the Navier--Stokes--Fourier--Poisson system under the Boltzmann relation

The one-dimensional compressible Navier--Stokes--Fourier--Poisson system under the Boltzmann relation is studied for the existence of small-amplitude viscous shock profiles connecting the Rankine--Hugoniot states of the quasineutral Euler system with effective pressure $P_{\mathrm{eff}}=ρ(θ+1)$. This profile is unique up to translation, of Lax type, and orbitally stable in time without a zero-mass assumption on the perturbation. The proof is based on a center-manifold reduction of the traveling-wave ODE and on the method of $a$-contraction with shifts, together with a relative-entropy functional augmented by electric energy and a sharp estimate of the viscous flux associated with $P_{\mathrm{eff}}$.
