Modified wave operators for nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the full subcritical long range regime

Abstract

We construct modified wave operators for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $i\partial_tu+\frac12Δu=|u|^pu$ in the full subcritical long-range case $0<p<2/d$, with small, nonvanishing, analytic final data $W(x)$ with bounded logarithmic gradients. Previous results established large-time asymptotics for selected classes of Cauchy data. Moreover, the exact asymptotic expansion for $p<1/d$ remained unknown. When $1/d<p<2/d$, our result gives the approximation $$\frac{1}{(it)^{\frac{d}{2}}} e^{\frac{i|x|^2}{2t}} W\left(\frac{x}{t}\right) \exp\left[ -i\frac{t^{1-\frac{dp}{2}}-1}{1-\frac{dp}{2}} \left|W\left(\frac{x}{t}\right)\right|^p \right]$$ The wave operator is constructed by an iteration in the analytic spaces with decreasing radius. When $p\le 1/d$, we construct the profile from a finite truncation of a Fuchsian equation coupled with a transport equation. This profile still leaves a long-range triangular coupling whose terminal integral does not preserve the required fast decay class. The construction yields quantitative $L^q$ asymptotics for $2\le q\le\infty$ and uniqueness in the prescribed analytic asymptotic classes. The central new ingredients are a nonlinear final-state normal form that removes this long-range coupling and a mixed iteration in particular analytic spaces.

Multilayered fluid-structure interactions: existence of weak solutions for time-periodic and initial-value problems

We establish the existence of weak solutions for a class of fully coupled multilayered fluid-structure interaction systems in a three-dimensional spatial setting. The model consists of an incompressible viscous fluid interacting with a thin elastic shell, which is in turn coupled to a three-dimensional elastic solid, yielding a nonstandard $3D/2D/3D$ coupling configuration. The system is driven by time-periodic boundary forcing through Bernoulli-type pressure conditions. For sufficiently small forcing in $L^2$, we prove the existence of at least one time-periodic weak solution. A central analytical difficulty stems from the strong nonlinear coupling across interfaces of different dimensionality and the absence of classical compactness mechanisms. This challenge is overcome through a carefully designed energy framework combined with and new $L^{2}$ compactness arguments adapted to the multilayered geometry. A key structural assumption is the viscoelasticity of the three-dimensional solid, which yields additional diffusion estimates and ensures energy stability. In the purely elastic case, we establish the global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the corresponding initial-value problem, provided that no degeneration (self-contact) of the fluid domain occurs. These results extend existing theories for two-dimensional and reduced-dimensional configurations to a genuinely three-dimensional multilayered setting, providing new analytical insight into complex coupled PDE systems arising in fluid-structure interaction.

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.

Global in-time rough large data solution to complex-valued semilinear damped evolution equations

We study the semilinear Cauchy problem for complex-valued damped evolution equations \begin{align*} \partial_t^2u+(-Δ)^σu+(-Δ)^δ\partial_tu=u^p,\ \ u(0,x)=u_0(x),\ \partial_tu(0,x)=u_1(x), \end{align*} with $δ\in[0,σ]$, $σ\in\mathbb{R}_+$ and $p\in\mathbb{N}_+\backslash\{1\}$, where the initial data belong to the rough space $E^α_s$ endowed with the norm \begin{align*} \|f\|_{E^α_s}=\big\|\langleξ\rangle^s\,2^{α|ξ|}\widehat{f}(ξ)\big\|_{L^2}\ \ \mbox{with}\ \ α<0, \ s\in\mathbb{R}. \end{align*} Concerning $(u_0,u_1)\in E^α_{s+\barκ}\times E^α_s$ when $s\geqslant\frac{n}{2}-\frac{2κ+\barκ-2δ}{p-1}-\barκ$ with $κ=\min\{2δ,σ\}$ and $\barκ=\max\{2δ,σ\}$ whose Fourier transforms are supported in a suitable subset of first octant, we prove a global in-time existence result without requiring the smallness of rough initial data.
