Abstract

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a finite connected graph, where $V$ denotes the set of vertices and $E$ denotes the set of edges. We revisit the following Chern-Simons Higgs model, \begin{equation*} Δu=λ\mathrm{e}^u\left(\mathrm{e}^u-1\right)+f \ \text {in} \ V, \end{equation*} where $Δ$ is the graph Laplacian, $λ$ is a real number and $f$ is a function defined on $V$. Firstly, when $λ\int_V f \mathrm{d} μ\neq 0$, we find that the odevity of the number of vertices in the graph affects the number of solutions. Then by calculating the topological degree and using the relationship between the degree and the critical group of a related functional, we obtain the existence of multiple solutions. Also we study the existence of solutions when $λ\int_V f \mathrm{d} μ=0$. These findings extend the work of Huang et al. [Comm Math Phys 377:613-621 (2020)], Hou and Sun [Calc Var 61:139 (2022)] and Li et al. [Calc Var 63:81 (2024)]. Similarly, for the generalized Chern-Simons Higgs model, we obtain the same results. Moreover, this method is also applied to the Chern-Simons Higgs system, yielding partial results for the existence of multiple solutions. To our knowledge, this is the first instance where it has been concluded that an equation on graphs can have at least three distinct solutions. We think that our results will be valuable for studying the multiplicity of solutions to analogous equations on graphs.

A linear test approach to global controllability of third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations

We investigate third- and fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations of KdV type on the torus and establishes approximate controllability by a fixed four-dimensional control; rather than relying solely on the saturation machinery, the analysis exploits the finite-dimensional controllability of the inviscid Burgers equation linearized around a carefully constructed return trajectory, with the trajectory itself obtained from an observable family. This ``linear test" strategy, yields more information about the structure of the control than the standard approach. In particular, the constructed control is shown to depend continuously on the initial and target states, a property that is by no means automatic in nonlinear control problems, and to decompose as a bounded linear operator applied to the data plus a fixed remainder, with the operator part interestingly independent of the order of dispersion.

A conditional Lagrangian clock barrier at the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold for axisymmetric Euler without swirl

We consider axisymmetric no-swirl solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations, with initial velocity in $C^{1,α}\cap L^2$, where $α\in\left[\frac{1}{3},1\right)$. In a major breakthrough, Shkoller introduced a clock-and-driver framework that he used in order to prove finite-time type I blow-up below the $C^{1,\frac{1}{3}}$ threshold in this setting. Motivated by this, we define Lagrangian classes of coherent conditional solutions for which the same mechanism yields a supercritical-critical barrier to blow-up when $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. When $α>\frac{1}{3}$, the aforementioned barrier is genuinely depleted, whereas at the critical endpoint $α=\frac{1}{3}$, we obtain an exponential bound preventing blow-up. In the general case, we formulate a matrix-clock criterion in terms of the smallest singular value of the deformation gradient and show that, under transverse cusp-tail, longitudinal, off-clock, Dini, and suitable geometric coherence hypotheses, this singular value cannot collapse in finite time. In particular, we also show that the class of such coherent solutions includes the smooth ones locally in time. In the on-axis case, the criterion reduces to the scalar clock inequality $\displaystyle \dot{J}(t)\gtrsim -B(t)J(t)-CJ(t)^{3α}$, which rules out Shkoller-type clock collapse for $α\geq\frac{1}{3}$. These results do not enlarge the known Lorentz-space global regularity classes. Rather, they in particular identify the supercritical Lagrangian obstruction dual to Shkoller's subcritical blow-up mechanism in the case $α>\frac{1}{3}$.
