Inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with competing singular nonlinearities

Abstract

We study nonlinear elliptic equations that arise as stationary states of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations with competing singular nonlinearities. The model involves the Laplacian combined with weighted power-type terms and naturally leads to a variational formulation in a weighted Sobolev space obtained from the intersection of the homogeneous Sobolev space with a weighted Lebesgue space. Using sharp weighted Sobolev and Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg type inequalities, we establish continuous and compact embeddings of this space into suitable weighted Lebesgue spaces. These embedding results, together with a natural scaling structure of the model, allow us to apply the abstract critical point framework of Mercuri and Perera (2026), yielding a sequence of nonlinear eigenvalues for the associated problem via a min--max scheme based on the Fadell--Rabinowitz cohomological index. Within this framework we obtain a broad collection of existence and multiplicity results for equations driven by sums of weighted power nonlinearities, covering interactions in both subcritical and critical cases. We also establish a nonexistence result derived from a Pohozaev-type identity. Finally, we analyze the radial setting, where improved radial Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequalities allow us to enlarge some of the admissible embedding ranges. This leads to strengthened radial versions of our main results.

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 $α>\frac{1}{3}$.
