Interface logistic problems: large diffusion and singular perturbation results

Abstract

In this work we consider an interface logistic problem where two populations live in two different regions, separated by a membrane or interface where it happens an interchange of flux. Thus, the two populations only interact or are coupled through such a membrane where we impose the so-called Kedem-Katchalsky boundary conditions. For this particular scenario we analyze the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions depending on the parameters involve in the system, obtaining interesting results where one can see for the first time the effect of the membrane under such boundary conditions. To do so, we first ascertain the asymptotic behaviour of several linear and nonlinear problems for which we include a diffusion coefficient and analyse the behaviour of the solutions when such a diffusion parameter goes to zero or infinity. Despite their own interest, since these asymptotic results have never been studied before, they will be crucial in analyzing the existence and uniqueness for the main interface logistic problems under analysis. Finally, we apply such an asymptotic analysis to characterize the existence of solutions in terms of the growth rate of the populations, when both populations possess the same growth rate and, also, when they depend on different parameters.

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.
