We study via Carleman estimates the sharpest possible exponential decay for {it waveguide} solutions to the Laplace equation $$(partial^2_t+triangle)u=Vu+Wcdot(partial_t, abla)u,$$ and find a necessary quantitative condition on the exponential decay in the spatial-variable of nonzero waveguides solutions which depends on the size of $V$ and $W$ at infinity.
The main aim of this paper is to solve an inverse source problem for a general nonlinear hyperbolic equation. Combining the quasi-reversibility method and a suitable Carleman weight function, we define a map of which fixed point is the solution to the inverse problem. To find this fixed point, we define a recursive sequence with an arbitrary initial term by the same manner as in the classical proof of the contraction principle. Applying a Carleman estimate, we show that the sequence above converges to the desired solution with the exponential rate. Therefore, our new method can be considered as an analog of the contraction principle. We rigorously study the stability of our method with respect to noise. Numerical examples are presented.
We call pattern any non-constant stable solution of a semilinear elliptic equation with Neumann boundary conditions. A classical theorem of Casten, Holland [19] and Matano [49] states that stable patterns do not exist in convex domains. In this article, we show that the assumptions of convexity of the domain and stability of the pattern in this theorem can be relaxed in several directions. In particular, we propose a general criterion for the non-existence of patterns, dealing with possibly non-convex domains and unstable patterns. Our results unfold the interplay between the geometry of the domain, the magnitude of the nonlinearity, and the stability of patterns. We propose several applications, for example, we prove that (under a geometric assumption) there exist no patterns if the domain is shrunk or if the nonlinearity has a small magnitude. We also refine the result of Casten Holland and Matano and show that it is robust under smooth perturbations of the domain and the nonlinearity. In addition, we establish several gradient estimates for the patterns of (1). We prove a general nonlinear Cacciopoli inequality (or an inverse Poincar{e} inequality), stating that the L2-norm of the gradient of a solution is controlled by the L2-norm of f(u), with a constant that only depends on the domain. This inequality holds for non-homogeneous equations. We also give several flatness estimates. Our approach relies on the introduction of what we call the Robin-curvature Laplacian. This operator is intrinsic to the domain and contains much information on how the geometry of the domain affects the shape of the solutions. Finally, we extend our results to unbounded domains. It allows us to improve the results of our previous paper [53] and to extend some results on De Giorgis conjecture to a larger class of domains.
We study pullback attractors of non-autonomous non-compact dynamical systems generated by differential equations with non-autonomous deterministic as well as stochastic forcing terms. We first introduce the concepts of pullback attractors and asymptotic compactness for such systems. We then prove a sufficient and necessary condition for existence of pullback attractors. We also introduce the concept of complete orbits for this sort of systems and use these special solutions to characterize the structures of pullback attractors. For random systems containing periodic deterministic forcing terms, we show the pullback attractors are also periodic. As an application of the abstract theory, we prove the existence of a unique pullback attractor for Reaction-Diffusion equations on $R^n$ with both deterministic and random external terms. Since Sobolev embeddings are not compact on unbounded domains, the uniform estimates on the tails of solutions are employed to establish the asymptotic compactness of solutions.
In this work, we study the behavior of blow-up solutions to the multidimensional restricted Euler--Poisson equations which are the localized version of the full Euler--Poisson system. We provide necessary conditions for the existence of finite-time blow-up solutions in terms of the initial data, and describe the asymptotic behavior of the solutions near blow up times. We also identify a rich set of the initial data which yields global bounded solutions.
In this paper we consider the initial value {problem $partial_{t} u- Delta u=f(u),$ $u(0)=u_0in exp,L^p(mathbb{R}^N),$} where $p>1$ and $f : mathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$ having an exponential growth at infinity with $f(0)=0.$ Under smallness condition on the initial data and for nonlinearity $f$ {such that $|f(u)|sim mbox{e}^{|u|^q}$ as $|u|to infty$,} $|f(u)|sim |u|^{m}$ as $uto 0,$ $0<qleq pleq,m,;{N(m-1)over 2}geq p>1$, we show that the solution is global. Moreover, we obtain decay estimates in Lebesgue spaces for large time which depend on $m.$
