Abstract

We consider the minimization of the NLS energy on a metric tree, either rooted or unrooted, subject to a mass constraint. With respect to the same problem on other types of metric graphs, several new features appear, such as the existence of minimizers with positive energy, and the emergence of unexpected threshold phenomena. We also study the problem with a radial symmetry constraint that is in principle different from the free problem due to the failure of the Pólya-Szegő inequality for radial rearrangements. A key role is played by a new Poincaré inequality with remainder.

Two-layers neural networks for Schr{ö}dinger eigenvalue problems

The aim of this article is to analyze numerical schemes using two-layer neural networks with infinite width for the resolution of high-dimensional Schr{ö}dinger eigenvalue problems with smooth interaction potentials and Neumann boundary condition on the unit cube in any dimension. More precisely, any eigenfunction associated to the lowest eigenvalue of the Schr{ö}dinger operator is a unit L 2 norm minimizer of the associated energy. Using Barron's representation of the solution with a probability measure defined on the set of parameter values and following the approach initially suggested by Bach and Chizat [1], the energy is minimized thanks to a constrained gradient curve dynamic on the 2-Wasserstein space of the set of parameter values defining the neural network. We prove the existence of solutions to this constrained gradient curve. Furthermore, we prove that, if it converges, the represented function is then an eigenfunction of the considered Schr{ö}dinger operator. At least up to our knowledge, this is the first work where this type of analysis is carried out to deal with the minimization of non-convex functionals.

Validity of Prandtl Expansion for Steady Compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier Flows

Assume no-slip boundary conditions for the velocity field and either insulated or Dirichlet boundary conditions for the temperature field in a steady compressible fluid. In the inviscid limit $\v \rightarrow 0$, we develop a mathematical framework for the uniform-in-$\v$ remainder estimate for the linear steady compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations around a Prandtl layer profile with both velocity and thermal layers, which leads to the validity of the Prandtl layer expansion.

Long time behaviour of Mean Field Games with fractional diffusion

In this paper we study the long time behaviour of mean field games systems with fractional diffusion, modeling the case that the individual dynamics of the players is driven by independent jump processes and controlled through the drift term, while being confined by an external field in order to guarantee ergodicity. In the case of globally Lipschitz, locally uniformly convex Hamiltonian, and weakly coupled costs satisfying the Lasry-Lions monotonicity condition, we prove that there is a unique solution $(u_T,m_T)$ to the mean field game problem in $(0,T)$ and we show that, if $T$ is sufficiently large, $(u_T,m_T)$ satisfies the so-called turnpike property, namely it is exponentially close to the (unique) stationary ergodic state for any proportionally long intermediate time.
