Abstract

We propose a new class of phase field models coupled to viscoelasticity with large deformations, obtained from a diffuse interface mixture model composed by a phase with elastic properties and a liquid phase. The model is formulated in the Eulerian configuration and it is derived by imposing the mass balance for the mixture components and the momentum balance that comes from a generalized form of the principle of virtual powers. The latter considers the presence of a system of microforces and microstresses associated to the microscopic interactions between the mixture's constituents together with a system of macroforces and macrostresses associated to their viscoelastic behavior, taking into account also the friction between the phases. The free energy density of the system is given as the sum of a Cahn-Hilliard term and an elastic polyconvex term, with a coupling between the phase field variable and the elastic deformation gradient in the elastic contribution. General constitutive assumptions complying with a mechanical version of the second law of thermodynamics in isothermal situations are taken. We study the global existence of a weak solution for a simplified and regularized version of the general model, which considers an incompressible elastic free energy of Neo-Hookean type with elastic coefficients depending on the phase field variable. The regularization is properly designed to deal with the coupling between the phase field variable and the elastic deformation gradient in the elastic energy density. The analysis is made both in two and three space dimensions.

Large friction limit of compressible Navier--Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a half-space

We study the large-friction limit for the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. The velocity satisfies a Navier boundary condition with friction coefficient $α>0$, while the limiting problem satisfies the no-slip boundary condition. We establish estimates for local-in-time smooth solutions that are uniform in $α$ and prove strong convergence of the density and velocity as $α\to\infty$. For weak solutions, we use the Lagrangian flow maps associated with the two velocities to compare the densities and construct suitable transported test functions. This yields weak convergence to the no-slip solution. Our results provide a compressible counterpart of the large-friction limit for incompressible flows.

Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators in ${\mathbb R^2}$

We study $L^p$-boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators $\LL_{\A}$ in ${\mathbb R^2}$, which involve the {physical} Aharonov-Bohm potential. We show that for $1\leq p\leq +\infty$ and $p\not= 2$, the Bochner-Riesz operator $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$ of order $δ$ is bounded on $L^p(\R^2)$ if and only if $δ>\max\big\{0, 2\big|1/2-1/p\big|-1/2\big\}$. The new ingredient {in} the proof is to obtain the localized $L^4(\R^2)$ estimate of $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$, whose kernel is heavily affected by the physical magnetic diffraction, and more singular than the classical Bochner-Riesz means $S_λ^δ(Δ)$ for the Laplacian $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$.

Solitons, scattering and blow-up for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities on $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$

We investigate the long time dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with combined powers on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$. Different from the previously studied NLS-models with single power on the waveguide manifolds, where the non-scale-invariance is mainly due to the mixed nature of the underlying domain, the non-scale-invariance of the present model is both geometrical and structural. By considering different combinations of the nonlinearities, we establish both qualitative and quantitative properties of the soliton, scattering and blow-up solutions. As one of the main novelties of the paper compared to the previous results for the NLS with single power, we particularly construct two different rescaled families of variational problems, which leads to an NLS with single power in different limiting profiles respectively, to establish the periodic dependence results.
