In the present manuscript we consider the Boltzmann equation that models a polyatomic gas by introducing one additional continuous variable, referred to as microscopic internal energy. We establish existence and uniqueness theory in the space homogeneous setting for the full non-linear case, under an extended Grad assumption on transition probability rate, that comprises hard potentials for both the relative speed and internal energy with the rate in the interval $(0,2]$, which is multiplied by an integrable angular part and integrable partition functions. The Cauchy problem is resolved by means of an abstract ODE theory in Banach spaces, for an initial data with finite and strictly positive gas mass and energy, finite momentum, and additionally finite $k_*$ polynomial moment, with $k_*$ depending on the rate of the transition probability and the structure of a polyatomic molecule or its internal degrees of freedom. Moreover, we prove that polynomially and exponentially weighted Banach space norms associated to the solution are both generated and propagated uniformly in time.

We revisit the problem on the inner structure of shock waves in simple gases modelized by the Boltzmann kinetic equation. In cite{pomeau1987shock}, a self-similarity approach was proposed for infinite total cross section resulting from a power law interaction, but this self-similar form does not have finite energy. Motivated by the work of Pomeau, Bobylev and Cercignani started the rigorous study of the solutions of the spatial homogeneous Boltzmann equation, focusing on those which do not have finite energy cite{bobylev2002self,bobylev2003eternal}. In the present work, we provide a correction to the self-similar form, so that the solutions are more physically sound in the sense that the energy is no longer infinite and that the perturbation brought by the shock does not grow at large distances of it on the cold side in the soft potential case.
We study the asymptotics of solutions of the Boltzmann equation describing the kinetic limit of a lattice of classical interacting anharmonic oscillators. We prove that, if the initial condition is a small perturbation of an equilibrium state, and vanishes at infinity, the dynamics tends diffusively to equilibrium. The solution is the sum of a local equilibrium state, associated to conserved quantities that diffuse to zero, and fast variables that are slaved to the slow ones. This slaving implies the Fourier law, which relates the induced currents to the gradients of the conserved quantities.
The Cauchy problem is studied for the self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint Schroedinger equations. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the weighted Sobolev spaces. Secondly we prove that if potentials are depending continuously and differentiably on a parameter, so are the solutions, respectively. The non-self-adjoint Schroedinger equations that we study are those used in the theory of continuous quantum measurements. The results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the weighted Sobolev spaces will play a crucial role in the proof for the convergence of the Feynman path integrals in the theories of quantum mechanics and continuous quantum measurements.
Burgers equation is one of the simplest nonlinear partial differential equations-it combines the basic processes of diffusion and nonlinear steepening. In some applications it is appropriate for the diffusion coefficient to be a time-dependent function. Using a Waynes transformation and centre manifold theory, we derive l-mode and 2-mode centre manifold models of the generalised Burgers equations for bounded smooth time dependent coefficients. These modellings give some interesting extensions to existing results such as the similarity solutions using the similarity method.
The focusing Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is the simplest universal model describing the modulation instability (MI) of quasi monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear media, and MI is considered the main physical mechanism for the appearence of anomalous (rogue) waves (AWs) in nature. In this paper we study, using the finite gap method, the NLS Cauchy problem for generic periodic initial perturbations of the unstable background solution of NLS (what we call the Cauchy problem of the AWs), in the case of a finite number $N$ of unstable modes. We show how the finite gap method adapts to this specific Cauchy problem through three basic simplifications, allowing one to construct the solution, at the leading and relevant order, in terms of elementary functions of the initial data. More precisely, we show that, at the leading order, i) the initial data generate a partition of the time axis into a sequence of finite intervals, ii) in each interval $I$ of the partition, only a subset of ${cal N}(I)le N$ unstable modes are visible, and iii) the NLS solution is approximated, for $tin I$, by the ${cal N}(I)$-soliton solution of Akhmediev type, describing the nonlinear interaction of these visible unstable modes, whose parameters are expressed in terms of the initial data through elementary functions. This result explains the relevance of the $m$-soliton solutions of Akhmediev type, with $mle N$, in the generic periodic Cauchy problem of the AWs, in the case of a finite number $N$ of unstable modes.
