We consider an evolution problem associated to the Kazdan-Warner equation on a closed Riemann surface $(Sigma,g)$ begin{align*} -Delta_{g}u=8pileft(frac{he^{u}}{int_{Sigma}he^{u}{rm d}mu_{g}}-frac{1}{int_{Sigma}{rm d}mu_{g}}right) end{align*} where the prescribed function $hgeq0$ and $max_{Sigma}h>0$. We prove the global existence and convergence under additional assumptions such as begin{align*} Delta_{g}ln h(p_0)+8pi-2K(p_0)>0 end{align*} for any maximum point $p_0$ of the sum of $2ln h$ and the regular part of the Green function, where $K$ is the Gaussian curvature of $Sigma$. In particular, this gives a new proof of the existence result by Yang and Zhu [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), no. 9, 3953-3959] which generalizes existence result of Ding, Jost, Li and Wang [Asian J. Math. 1 (1997), no. 2, 230-248] to the non-negative prescribed function case.
In this paper, we study the following Kazdan-Warner equation with sign-changing prescribed function $h$ begin{align*} -Delta u=8pileft(frac{he^{u}}{int_{Sigma}he^{u}}-1right) end{align*} on a closed Riemann surface whose area is equal to one. The solutions are the critical points of the functional $J_{8pi}$ which is defined by begin{align*} J_{8pi}(u)=frac{1}{16pi}int_{Sigma}| abla u|^2+int_{Sigma}u-lnleft|int_{Sigma}he^{u}right|,quad uin H^1left(Sigmaright). end{align*} We prove the existence of minimizer of $J_{8pi}$ by assuming begin{equation*} Delta ln h^++8pi-2K>0 end{equation*}at each maximum point of $2ln h^++A$, where $K$ is the Gaussian curvature, $h^+$ is the positive part of $h$ and $A$ is the regular part of the Green function. This generalizes the existence result of Ding, Jost, Li and Wang [Asian J. Math. 1(1997), 230-248] to the sign-changing prescribed function case. We are also interested in the blow-up behavior of a sequence $u_{varepsilon}$ of critical points of $J_{8pi-varepsilon}$ with $int_{Sigma}he^{u_{varepsilon}}=1, limlimits_{varepsilonsearrow 0}J_{8pi-varepsilon}left(u_{varepsilon}right)<infty$ and obtain the following identity during the blow-up process begin{equation*} -varepsilon=frac{16pi}{(8pi-varepsilon)h(p_varepsilon)}left[Delta ln h(p_varepsilon)+8pi-2K(p_varepsilon)right]lambda_{varepsilon}e^{-lambda_{varepsilon}}+Oleft(e^{-lambda_{varepsilon}}right), end{equation*}where $p_varepsilon$ and $lambda_varepsilon$ are the maximum point and maximum value of $u_varepsilon$, respectively. Moreover, $p_{varepsilon}$ converges to the blow-up point which is a critical point of the function $2ln h^{+}+A$.
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite connected graph, and let $kappa: Vrightarrow mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $int_Vkappa dmu<0$. We consider the following Kazdan-Warner equation on $G$:[Delta u+kappa-K_lambda e^{2u}=0,] where $K_lambda=K+lambda$ and $K: Vrightarrow mathbb{R}$ is a non-constant function satisfying $max_{xin V}K(x)=0$ and $lambdain mathbb{R}$. By a variational method, we prove that there exists a $lambda^*>0$ such that when $lambdain(-infty,lambda^*]$ the above equation has solutions, and has no solution when $lambdageq lambda^ast$. In particular, it has only one solution if $lambdaleq 0$; at least two distinct solutions if $0<lambda<lambda^*$; at least one solution if $lambda=lambda^ast$. This result complements earlier work of Grigoryan-Lin-Yang cite{GLY16}, and is viewed as a discrete analog of that of Ding-Liu cite{DL95} and Yang-Zhu cite{YZ19} on manifolds.
In this paper, we consider the following non-local semi-linear parabolic equation with advection: for $1 le p<1+frac{2}{N}$, begin{equation*} begin{cases} u_t+v cdot abla u-Delta u=|u|^p-int_{mathbb T^N} |u|^p quad & textrm{on} quad mathbb T^N, u textrm{periodic} quad & textrm{on} quad partial mathbb T^N end{cases} end{equation*} with initial data $u_0$ defined on $mathbb T^N$. Here $v$ is an incompressible flow, and $mathbb T^N=[0, 1]^N$ is the $N$-torus with $N$ being the dimension. We first prove the local existence of mild solutions to the above equation for arbitrary data in $L^2$. We then study the global existence of the solutions under the following two scenarios: (1). when $v$ is a mixing flow; (2). when $v$ is a shear flow. More precisely, we show that under these assumptions, there exists a global solution to the above equation in the sense of $L^2$.
In this paper, we consider the advective Cahn-Hilliard equation in 2D with shear flow: $$ begin{cases} u_t+v_1(y) partial_x u+gamma Delta^2 u=gamma Delta(u^3-u) quad & quad textrm{on} quad mathbb T^2; u textrm{periodic} quad & quad textrm{on} quad partial mathbb T^2, end{cases} $$ where $mathbb T^2$ is the two-dimensional torus. Under the assumption that the shear has a finite number of critical points and there are linearly growing modes only in the direction of the shear, we show the global existence of solutions with arbitrary initial $H^2$ data. The main difficulty of this paper is to handle the high-regularity and non-linearity underlying the term $Delta(u^3)$ in a proper way. For such a purpose, we modify the methods by Iyer, Xu, and Zlatov{s} in 2021 under a shear flow setting.
We study the asymptotic behaviour of a gradient system in a regime in which the driving energy becomes singular. For this system gradient-system convergence concepts are ineffective. We characterize the limiting behaviour in a different way, by proving $Gamma$-convergence of the so-called energy-dissipation functional, which combines the gradient-system components of energy and dissipation in a single functional. The $Gamma$-limit of these functionals again characterizes a variational evolution, but this limit functional is not the energy-dissipation functional of any gradient system. The system in question describes the diffusion of a particle in a one-dimensional double-well energy landscape, in the limit of small noise. The wells have different depth, and in the small-noise limit the process converges to a Markov process on a two-state system, in which jumps only happen from the higher to the lower well. This transmutation of a gradient system into a variational evolution of non-gradient type is a model for how many one-directional chemical reactions emerge as limit of reversible ones. The $Gamma$-convergence proved in this paper both identifies the `fate of the gradient system for these reactions and the variational structure of the limiting irreversible reactions.
