Confinement effects for semilinear fractional Hermite heat equations with nonlinearities of arbitrarily rapid growth

Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation driven by the fractional harmonic oscillator. We establish local and global well-posedness in Orlicz and Morse--Transue spaces, based on sharp semigroup estimates and an integral compatibility condition between the Young function and the nonlinearity. We identify a critical Young function separating local well-posedness from instantaneous nonexistence for suitable data. Finally, we prove a confinement effect: under a Dini condition at the origin, small data yield global solutions decaying at the sharp exponential rate, with no Fujita-type restriction, in contrast with the corresponding free equation.

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 $β>0$.

Global-in-time Well-posedness of Classical Solutions to the Vacuum Free Boundary Problem for the 1-D Viscous Saint-Venant System with Large Data

We establishes the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the vacuum free boundary problem for the 1-D viscous Saint-Venant system with a general class of large initial data. Since the fluid depth $ρ$ vanishes on the moving boundary, the momentum equations degenerate in both time evolution and spatial dissipation, potentially causing singularities in velocity derivatives and making classical solutions difficult to construct. By exploiting the intrinsic degenerate-singular structures, we identify admissible initial depth profiles for which $ρ_0^α$ belongs to $H^3$ and vanishes as the distance to the moving boundary, with $\frac{1}{3}<α\le 1$. In particular, for $α=1$, it satisfies the physical vacuum boundary condition but violates the BD entropy condition. First, we introduce new weighted nonlinear energy functionals involving lower- and higher-order derivatives, based on the balance between pressure and spatial dissipation. Second, we derive new global weighted $L^p$ estimates, $2\le p\le\infty$, for the effective velocity $v=u+(\logρ)_y$, where $y$ is the Eulerian coordinate, using the transport properties of its evolution equation. These estimates differ from those of Bresch-Desjardins (Comm. Math. Phys. 238 (2003), 211-223) and Kanel (Differ. Uravn. 4 (1968), 721-734) and are crucial for $α=1$, where the BD entropy condition fails. Finally, we establish weighted energy estimates for first-order velocity derivatives with weights involving powers of $ρ_0$ and $η_x$, where $x$ is the Lagrangian coordinate and $η$ the flow map. These estimates give an upper bound for $η_x$ on every finite time interval without any smallness assumption on the initial data. Further singular or degenerate weighted energy estimates yield the desired global regularity.

Desingularization of vortex sheets for the 2D Euler equations

We show how to regularize vortex sheets by means of smooth, compactly supported vorticities that asymptotically evolve according to the Birkhoff-Rott vortex sheet dynamics. More precisely, consider a vortex sheet initial datum $ω^0_{\mathrm{sing}}$, which is a signed Radon measure supported on a closed curve. We construct a family of initial vorticities $ω^0_\varepsilon \in C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R}^2)$ converging to $ω^0_{\mathrm{sing}}$ distributionally as $\varepsilon \to 0^+$, and show that the corresponding solutions $ω_\varepsilon(x,t)$ to the 2D incompressible Euler equations converge to the measure defined by the Birkhoff-Rott system with initial datum $ω^0_{\mathrm{sing}}$. The regularization relies on a layer construction designed to exploit the key observation that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability has a strongly anisotropic effect: while vorticities must be analytic in the "tangential" direction, the way layers can be arranged in the "normal" direction is essentially arbitrary.
