Abstract

This version is the last version of our book project on Hamilton-Jacobi Equations and Control Problems with discontinuities. Compared to the third version (online in december 2022), we have improved Part V (Stratified solutions for state-constraints problems) and Part VI on the applications but also the stability results for stratified solutions; we have rewritten a large part of the introduction and added guidelines for the reader. As in the previous versions, we have incorporated new results and examples, changed some points-of-view, detailed some proofs and corrected several mistakes. Version 3 had 550 pages, this one 630.As the third version, it is composed of six parts: Part I is still a toolbox with key results which are used in all the other parts. The study of the simplest case, i.e. the case of a co-dimension 1 discontinuity, is now split in two parts: in Part II, we only consider control problems and the associated Bellman Equations are treated by using only the classical notion of viscosity solutions. In this part, the methods are a combinations of control and pdes techniques. On the contrary, Part III describes purely pdes approaches which are inspired by the literature on Hamilton Jacobi Equations on networks and which can handle the case of non-convex Hamiltonians. In this part, we present two notions of solutions, namely flux-limited and junction viscosity solutions, and we study in detail their properties by providing comparison and stability results. We also show that they are ``almost'' equivalent when both make sense, i.e. for quasi-convex Hamiltonians. Part IV concerns stratified problems in $\R^N$, i.e. problems with discontinuities of any co-dimensions: the main change compared to the previous version is the introduction of a notion of ``weak'' stratified (sub)solution. In Part V, we address the case of stratified problems in bounded or unbounded domains with state-constraints, allowing very surprising applications as well as singular boundary conditions. Finally, in Part VI we describe some applications to KPP (Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov) type problems and we discuss possible extensions to problems with jumps and to ``stratified networks''.Even if we consider this version as being the final one, all comments are welcome!

Renormalized Lambert-W Cascade and Finite-Time Amplification and Blowup for reconstructed b Dynamics on T^3 for the 3D Navier Stokes Equations

This article extracts and consolidates the renormalized Lambert-$W$ branch-point cascade, its distinguished phase reduction, the exact characteristic invariant and finite-time amplification mechanism, and the extended reconstructed $b_i$ equation on $\mathbb T^3$. Repeated historical derivations are removed while the principal proofs and terminal reconstruction estimates are retained. The presentation separates exact finite-depth statements from coupled-depth asymptotics and records the hypotheses required for the extended PDE reconstruction. This paper further supports a recent paper \cite {moschandreou2026exploration} published by the corresponding author which claims that the Navier Stokes equations lose smoothness in finite time from initial smooth data.

Unconditional uniqueness for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation by normal form approach

We prove uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$. Our proof is based on the method of normal form reduction (NFR), which has been employed to obtain the uniqueness in $C_tH^s_x$, $s>1/2$. To overcome logarithmic divergences at the $H^{1/2}$ regularity, we exploit the $B^{0+}_{\infty,1}$ control of solutions provided by a refined Strichartz estimate. Our NFR argument consists of two stages: we first use NFR finitely many times to derive an intermediate equation in which the main cubic nonlinearity is restricted to a certain type of frequency interaction; we then apply the infinite NFR scheme to the intermediate equation. Moreover, we modify the usual NFR argument relying on continuity in time of solutions so that the uniqueness in the class $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$ can be obtained directly.

Equivalence between solvability of the Dirichlet and Regularity problem under an $L^1$ Carleson condition on $\partial_t A$

We study an elliptic operator $L:=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot)$ on the upper half space. It is known that solvability of the Regularity problem in $\dot{W}^{1,p}$ implies solvability of the adjoint Dirichlet problem in $L^{p'}$. Previously, Shen (2007) established a partial reverse result. In our work, we show that if we assume a mixed \(L^1-L^\infty\) condition on only \(|\partial_t A|\), the full reverse direction holds. As a result, we obtain equivalence between solvability of the Dirichlet problem $(D)^*_{p'}$ and the Regularity problem $(R)_p$ under this condition. As a further consequence, we can extend the class of operators for which the $L^p$ Regularity problem is solvable by operators satisfying the mixed $L^1-L^\infty$ condition. Additionally in the case of the upper half plane, this class includes operators satisfying this this mixed \(L^1-L^\infty\) condition.
