Turing bifurcation, criticality, and multistability in a nonlocal advection-reaction-diffusion equation

Abstract

This paper considers a nonlocal advection--reaction--diffusion equation with logistic growth. We investigate how the interaction kernel affects the criticality of Turing bifurcations and the associated multistability. We first prove that nonhomogeneous stationary solutions bifurcate from the positive homogeneous stationary solution. Center manifold reduction yields an amplitude equation near the bifurcation point. This equation provides criteria for supercritical and subcritical bifurcations in terms of the Fourier transform of the interaction kernel. We also derive a sufficient condition for subcriticality. This condition can be satisfied by sufficiently localized attractive interactions. Based on these analytical results, we investigate multistability through numerical bifurcation analysis. The numerical results show that the stable homogeneous stationary solution can coexist with stable nonhomogeneous stationary solutions or stable time-periodic solutions.

On the dynamics of leapfrogging vortex rings

The evolution of highly concentrated vorticity around rings in the three-dimensional axisymmetric Euler equations is studied in a regime for which the leapfrogging dynamics predicted by Helmholtz is expected to occur. We provide in this paper the first result deriving this phenomenon for a general class of initial data in the suitable regime. The singular interaction of rings requires significant improvements of weak and strong localization estimates obtained in prior works. Our method is based on the combination of a new variational argument and a recently introduced double iterative procedure.

Lipschitz regularity of fractional $p$-Laplacian

In this article, we investigate the Hölder regularity of the fractional $p$-Laplace equation of the form $(-Δ_p)^s u=f$ where $p>1, s\in (0, 1)$ and $f\in L^\infty_{\rm loc}(Ω)$. Specifically, we prove that $u\in C^{0, γ_\circ}_{\rm loc}(Ω)$ for $γ_\circ=\min\{1, \frac{sp}{p-1}\}$, provided that $\frac{sp}{p-1}\neq 1$. In particular, it shows that $u$ is locally Lipschitz for $\frac{sp}{p-1}>1$. Moreover, we show that for $\frac{sp}{p-1}=1$, the solution is locally Lipschitz, provided that $f$ is locally Hölder continuous. Additionally, we discuss further regularity results for the fractional double-phase problems.

Mixed Local-Nonlocal Equations in the Hyperbolic Space and Sharp Sobolev Constants

This paper explores the existence of solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations involving a mixed local-nonlocal operator of the form $-Δ_{\mathbb{B}^N} + (-Δ_{\mathbb{B}^N})^s$, with $0 < s < 1$, set in the hyperbolic space. By employing variational methods, we address both subcritical and critical nonlinearities, establishing the existence of weak solutions under appropriate conditions. We also compare the best Sobolev constants for the mixed and local operators on $\mathbb{B}^N$ with the Euclidean Sobolev constant.
