In this paper we obtain $C^{1,theta}$-estimates on the distance of inertial manifolds for dynamical systems generated by evolutionary parabolic type equations. We consider the situation where the systems are defined in different phase spaces and we estimate the distance in terms of the distance of the resolvent operators of the corresponding elliptic operators and the distance of the nonlinearities of the equations.
We show that weak solutions to parabolic equations in divergence form with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions are continuously differentiable up to the boundary when the leading coefficients have Dini mean oscillation and the lower order coefficients verify certain conditions. Similar results are obtained for non-divergence form parabolic operators and their adjoint operators. Under similar conditions, we also establish a Harnack inequality for nonnegative adjoint solutions, together with upper and lower Gaussian bounds for the global fundamental solution.
We show that any weak solution to elliptic equations in divergence form is continuously differentiable provided that the modulus of continuity of coefficients in the $L^1$-mean sense satisfies the Dini condition. This in particular answers a question recently raised by Yanyan Li and allows us to improve a result of Brezis. We also prove a weak type-$(1,1)$ estimate under a stronger assumption on the modulus of continuity. The corresponding results for non-divergence form equations are also established.
We extend and improve the results in cite{DK16}: showing that weak solutions to full elliptic equations in divergence form with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions are continuously differentiable up to the boundary when the leading coefficients have Dini mean oscillation and the lower order coefficients verify certain conditions. Similar results are obtained for non-divergence form equations. We extend the weak type-(1, 1) estimates in cite{DK16} and cite{Es94} up to the boundary and derive a Harnack inequality for non-negative adjoint solutions to non-divergence form elliptic equations, when the leading coefficients have Dini mean oscillation.
The paper gives sharp spectral gap conditions for existence of inertial manifolds for abstract semilinear parabolic equations with non-self-adjoint leading part. Main attention is paid to the case where this leading part have Jordan cells which appear after applying the so-called Kwak transform to various important equations such as 2D Navier-Stokes equations, reaction-diffusion-advection systems, etc. The different forms of Kwak transforms and relations between them are also discussed.
The paper gives a comprehensive study of inertial manifolds for semilinear parabolic equations and their smoothness using the spatial averaging method suggested by G. Sell and J. Mallet-Paret. We present a universal approach which covers the most part of known results obtained via this method as well as gives a number of new ones. Among our applications are reaction-diffusion equations, various types of generalized Cahn-Hilliard equations, including fractional and 6th order Cahn-Hilliard equations and several classes of modified Navier-Stokes equations including the Leray-$alpha$ regularization, hyperviscous regularization and their combinations. All of the results are obtained in 3D case with periodic boundary conditions.
