On integral and differential formulations in nonlocal elasticity

Abstract

The paper is concerned with comparative analysis of differential and integral formulations for boundary value problems in nonlocal elasticity. For the sake of simplicity, the focus is on an antiplane problem for a half-space for an exponential kernel. First, a surface loading in the form of a travelling harmonic wave is studied. This provides a counter-example, revealing that within the framework of Eringen's theory the solution to the differential model does not satisfy the equation of motion in nonlocal stresses underlying the related integral formulation. A more general differential setup, starting from singularly perturbed equations expressing the local stresses through the nonlocal ones, is then investigated. It is emphasized that the transformation of the original integral formulation to the differential one in question is only possible provided that two additional conditions on nonlocal stresses hold on the surface. As a result, the formulated problem subject to three boundary conditions appears to be ill-posed. Next, the asymptotic solution of the singularly perturbed problem, subject to a prescribed stress on the boundary, together with only one of the aforementioned extra conditions, is obtained at a small internal size. Three-term expansion is obtained, leading to a boundary value problem in local stresses over interior domain. The associated differential equations are identical to those proposed by Eringen, however, the derived effective boundary condition incorporates the effect of a nonlocal boundary layer which has previously been ignored. Moreover, the calculated nonlocal correction to the classical antiplane problem for an elastic half-space, coming from the boundary conditions is by order of magnitude greater than that appearing in the equations of motion. Finally, it is shown that the proposed effective condition supports an antiplane surface wave.

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.
