Abstract

In this article, we study the Calderón problem for nonlocal generalizations of the semilinear Moore--Gibson--Thompson (MGT) equation and the Jordan--Moore--Gibson--Thompson (JMGT) equation of Westervelt-type. These partial differential equations are third order wave equations that appear in nonlinear acoustics, describe the propagation of high-intensity sound waves and exhibit finite speed of propagation. For semilinear MGT equations with nonlinearity $g$ and potential $q$, we show the following uniqueness properties of the Dirichlet to Neumann (DN) map $Λ_{q,g}$: (i) If $g$ is a polynomial-type nonlinearity whose $m$-th order derivative is bounded, then $Λ_{q,g}$ uniquely determines $q$ and $(\partial^{\ell}_τg(x,t,0))_{2\leq \ell \leq m}$. (ii) If $g$ is a polyhomogeneous nonlinearity of finite order $L$, then $Λ_{q,g}$ uniquely determines $q$ and $g$. The uniqueness proof for polynomial-type nonlinearities is based on a higher order linearization scheme, while the proof for polyhomogeneous nonlinearities only uses a first order linearization. Finally, we demonstrate that a first linearization suffices to uniquely determine Westervelt-type nonlinearities from the related DN maps. We also remark that all the unknowns, which we wish to recover from the DN data, are allowed to depend on time.

Blow-Up Dynamics for the $L^2$ critical case of the $2$D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

We study blow-up dynamics for the $L^2$-critical cubic Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation in two dimensions, \[ \partial_tu+\partial_{x_1}(Δu+u^3)=0 \qquad\text{on }\mathbb R^2. \] For a class of localized $H^1$ perturbations of the ground state $Q$, we establish a trichotomy near the soliton manifold: exit from a small $L^2$-tube, global asymptotic stability, or finite-time blow-up. In the stable blow-up regime, the solution concentrates a single bubble and \[ λ(t)\sim \ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}, \] where $\ell_0>0$ depends on the initial datum and $c\in(1,2)$ is an explicit constant determined by the transverse tail of the first-order approximate profile. Consequently, \[ \|\nabla u(t)\|_{L^2} \sim \frac{\|\nabla Q\|_{L^2}} {\ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}}. \] After subtraction of the concentrating soliton, the radiation converges strongly in $L^p(\mathbb R^2)$ for every $2\leq p<\infty$ to a common nonzero profile $u^*$, while \[ u^*\notin H^s(\mathbb R^2) \qquad\text{for every }s\geq\frac c2. \] The stable blow-up branch is open in the relative $H^1$ topology of the localized class. Finally, every non-soliton datum in this class with non-positive energy blows up in finite time. Interval-arithmetic computer-assisted proofs certify the numerical inputs to the virial coercivity argument. They also yield a rigorous enclosure of $c$, justifying the polynomial moment of order $21$ imposed on the initial data.

Propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections

In this paper, we study the propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections with respect to a system of two Schr{ö}dinger equations presenting a codimension 2 crossing. We focus on the dynamics that occur when the wave packets pass through an area close to the crossing, and our main results provide an explicit formula for the outgoing wave packet in terms of the incoming one, with a complete description of its phase and of the classical trajectories it follows, including a drift.

A Volterra Calculus for Lie Groupoids

A pseudodifferential Volterra calculus for inverting parabolic differential equations on Lie groupoids is introduced. This enables the study of fundamental solutions of various cases of heat flows on singular manifolds with corners with non-resonant boundary indicial symbols, such as the $b$-manifolds, as well as other geometric bisection covariant heat flows. We also establish the short time asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel of a positive, elliptic differential operator on a Lie groupoid that acts on suitable Sobolev Hilbert modules and is positive definite with respect to the appropriate $L^2$ inner product.
