Abstract

We study well-posedness of degenerate mixed-type parabolic-hyperbolic equations $$ \partial_tu+\textrm{div}\big(f(u)\big)=\mathcal{L}[b(u)] $$ on bounded domains with general Dirichlet boundary/exterior conditions. The nonlocal diffusion operator $\mathcal{L}$ is a symmetric L{é}vy operator (e.g. fractional Laplacians) and $b$ is nondecreasing and allowed to have degenerate regions ($b'=0$). In [N. Alibaud, J. Endal, E. R. Jakobsen, and O. Mæhlen. Nonlocal degenerate parabolic hyperbolic equations on bounded domains. \emph{Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Anal. Non Lineaire}, 2025. Published online first, DOI 10.4171/AIHPC/153], we introduced an entropy solution formulation for the problem and showed uniqueness of bounded entropy solutions under general assumptions. In this paper we complete the program by proving existence of such solutions. Starting from known results for scalar conservations laws, existence is proved first for bounded/zero order operators $\mathcal{L}$ by a fixed point argument, and then extended in steps to more general operators via approximations of $\mathcal{L}$. Lack of strong compactness of approximate solutions $u_n$ is overcome through nonlinear weak-$\star$ compactness and entropy-process solutions. Key ingredients are stability results for our formulation and \textit{strong} compactness of the term $b(u)$, both with respect to variations in $\mathcal{L}$. Strong compactness follows from energy estimates and novel arguments for transferring weak regularity from $\partial_t u_n$ to $\partial_t b(u_n)$. Our work can be seen as both extending nonlocal theories from the whole space to domains and local theories on domains to the nonlocal case. Unlike local theories our formulation does not assume energy estimates. They are now a consequence of the formulation, but as opposed to previous nonlocal theories, they play an essential role in our arguments. Several results of independent interest are established, including a characterization of the L{é}vy operators $\mathcal{L}$ for which the corresponding energy/Sobolev-space compactly embeds into $L^2$.

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.
