Abstract

A synthetic view is provided on scattered results which were never presented in this form in the literature. First we investigate precisely the oscillation length for periodic functions. Then, we establish the existence of a uniform oscillation lentgh for any scalar almost periodic function with mean-value 0. After that, we investigate upper bounds of the oscillation length for some almost periodic functions which appear in the study of continuum mechanics, and we show the existence of a finite oscillation length with respect to time in any open subset of some vibrating continuous media. The paper finally recalls a long standing open problem on the vibrations of a square membrane with fixed edge.

Entropic Chaos of Mixed Mean-Field Jump Processes

This paper studies a class of mixed mean-field jump processes on an abstract state space $Π$, together with their associated $N$-particle systems. The dynamics consist of the superposition of an independent Markovian component and a bounded mean-field jump interaction; in particular, piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) with mean-field interactions are covered by this framework. A key feature of our setting is that the jump kernel may depend nonlinearly on the mean-field law, and correspondingly on the empirical measure at the particle level. Under a second-order bounded difference condition on the mean-field jump kernel, we establish entropic propagation of chaos as $N \to \infty$. In particular, we obtain an explicit qualitative bound on the relative entropy between the law of the $N$-particle system and the product measure induced by the mean-field limit. The proof relies on the second-order concentration inequality introduced in Götze and Sambale, 2020.

Local profiles of self-similar solutions of the planar stationary Navier--Stokes equations

In this paper, we revisit self-similar solutions of the two-dimensional stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations under scaling symmetries, also known as Jeffery-Hamel solutions. We investigate the local patterns of smooth Jeffery-Hamel solutions in a conical subdomain $Ω$ with vertex at the origin, without imposing any boundary conditions on $Ω$. For radial Jeffery-Hamel solutions, we obtain all the explicit local profiles in $Ω$ with arbitrary opening angles. In the non-radial case, we show that some Jeffery-Hamel solutions can be obtained via solving a Liénard equation, and we derive new explicit local profiles expressible in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions.

Chemotaxis models with signal-dependent sensitivity and a logistic-type source, II: Persistence and stabilization

This paper is Part II of a series on boundedness, global existence, and asymptotic behavior of positive classical solutions to the chemotaxis model $$\begin{cases} u_t=Δu-χ_0\nabla\cdot\left(\frac{u^m}{(1+v)^β}\nabla v\right)+au-bu^{1+α}, & x\inΩ,\\ 0=Δv-μv+νu^γ, & x\inΩ,\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial n}=0, & x\in\partialΩ, \end{cases} \tag{CM}$$ where $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain, $α,γ,m,μ,ν>0$, $χ_0\in\mathbb{R}$, and $a,b,β\ge0$. Part I established biologically relevant parameter regimes ensuring boundedness and global existence of positive classical solutions. Here we study persistence and stabilization of globally defined bounded positive solutions, quantifying how $β$ in the sensitivity $χ(v)=χ_0(1+v)^{-β}$ influences long-time dynamics. The factor $(1+v)^{-β}$ models signal-dependent desensitization, so large $β$ should promote stabilization, though it considerably complicates the analysis. We take $μ=ν=1$ with either $a=b=1$ (logistic source) or $a=b=0$ (minimal model). We show that when $m\ge1$, every globally defined bounded positive solution stays uniformly away from zero in space. We determine exact $β$-dependent critical sensitivity thresholds for local stability of constant solutions and establish $β$-dependent thresholds for their global stability; both tend to $\infty$ as $β\to\infty$. Thus signal saturation (large $β$) or repulsion ($χ_0<0$) can prevent aggregation and promote relaxation to spatially homogeneous states. For $β>0$ and $m,α,γ$ not all 1, we develop new techniques, including a Lyapunov function, pointwise estimates for $\nabla v$, and a nontrivial extension of the rectangle/ODE method from $β=0$ to $β>0$.
