Abstract

The present paper considers the full nonlinear dynamics of a homogeneous bubble inside an unbounded isentropic compressible inviscid liquid. This model is described by a free-boundary problem of compressible Euler equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. The liquid is governed by the compressible Euler equation, while the bubble surface is determined by the kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions on the bubble-liquid interface. This classical model is of great concern in physics due to its wide applications. We begin by proving the local existence and uniqueness using energy methods under an iteration scheme. For long-time behavior, we developed a generalized weighted space-time estimate, which extends the Keel-Smith-Sogge estimate to nonlinear wave equations regardless of the boundary conditions, at the cost of the appearance of a boundary term with only lowest-order derivatives. This term is handled by using characteristics to track the backward pressure wave. Then the almost global existence and nonlinear radiative decay are proved through a bootstrap argument, which encompasses the energy estimate, the generalized Keel-Smith-Sogge estimate, and the analysis of backward pressure waves. The analysis of the backward pressure wave by characteristics involves a loss of derivative due to the quasilinear nature of the system. This is overcome by the above generalized weighted spacetime estimate with the lowest-order boundary term, which actually provides a mechanism to gain derivatives back. The coupling of these two methods is the novelty of the present paper and can not only be used for the current question but is expected to be applied to other questions regarding nonlinear wave equations with complicated boundary conditions.

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.
