Abstract

We study the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (KSE) in scalar form on the two-dimensional torus with and without advection by an incompressible vector field. We prove local existence of mild solutions for arbitrary data in L2. We then study the issue of global existence. We prove global existence for the KSE in the presence of advection for arbitrary data, provided the advecting velocity field v satisfies certain conditions that ensure the dissipation time of the associated hyperdiffusion-advection equation is sufficiently small. In the absence of advection, global existence can be shown only if the linearized operator does not admit any growing mode and for sufficiently small initial data.

Singularities and asymptotics of solutions of the Chandrasekhar-Hailton-Jacobi equation

We study the local properties of positive solutions of the equation $-Δu+ m\abs{\nabla u}^q-e^{u}=0$ in a punctured domain $Ω\setminus\{0\}$ of $R^N$, $N\geq 2$, where $m$ is a positive parameter and $q>1$. We study particularly the existence of solutions with an isolated singularity and the local behaviour of such singular solutions. .

Existence of smooth solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in three-dimensional Euclidean space

Based on the essential connection of the parabolic inertia Lamé equations and Navier-Stokes equations, we prove the existence of smooth solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ by showing the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions of the parabolic inertia Lamé equations and by letting a Lamé constant $λ$ tends to infinity (the other Lamé constant $μ>0$ is fixed).

Construction of two-bubble solutions for the energy-critical NLS in dimension 6

We construct pure two-bubble solutions for the energy-critical focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation in space dimension $N = 6$. They are global in (at least) one time direction and approach a superposition of two stationary states, both centered at the origin. One of the bubbles develops at scale $1$, whereas the length scale of the other converges to $0$ at rate $e^{-|t|}$. The phases of the two bubbles form the right angle. Such solutions were previously constructed in dimension $N \geq 7$. The six-dimension case presents specific difficulties, as the ground state does not belong to $\dot H^{-1}$. This prevents the use of the standard method of removing linear terms in modulation equations via suitable orthogonality conditions, due to loss of coercivity of the energy functional. The main novelty of this work is the introduction of modified modulation parameters to overcome this issue; these can be viewed as an analog of a normal form transformation in the context of modulation analysis. We also establish new coercivity estimates for the linearized energy, whose positive constants depend explicitly on the choice of the orthogonality conditions.
