The paper is devoted to a comprehensive study of smoothness of inertial manifolds for abstract semilinear parabolic problems. It is well known that in general we cannot expect more than $C^{1,varepsilon}$-regularity for such manifolds (for some positive, but small $varepsilon$). Nevertheless, as shown in the paper, under the natural assumptions, the obstacles to the existence of a $C^n$-smooth inertial manifold (where $ninmathbb N$ is any given number) can be removed by increasing the dimension and by modifying properly the nonlinearity outside of the global attractor (or even outside the $C^{1,varepsilon}$-smooth IM of a minimal dimension). The proof is strongly based on the Whitney extension theorem.
We study existence and non-existence of global solutions to the semilinear heat equation with a drift term and a power-like source term, on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. Under suitable assumptions on Ricci and sectional curvatures, we show that global solutions cannot exists if the initial datum is large enough. Furthermore, under appropriate conditions on the drift term, global existence is obtained, if the initial datum is sufficiently small. We also deal with Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature tends to zero at infinity sufficiently fast.
We show a triviality result for pointwise monotone in time, bounded eternal solutions of the semilinear heat equation begin{equation*} u_{t}=Delta u + |u|^{p} end{equation*} on complete Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n geq 5$ with nonnegative Ricci tensor, when $p$ is smaller than the critical Sobolev exponent $frac{n+2}{n-2}$.
In this paper we prove the following long-standing conjecture: stable solutions to semilinear elliptic equations are bounded (and thus smooth) in dimension $n leq 9$. This result, that was only known to be true for $nleq4$, is optimal: $log(1/|x|^2)$ is a $W^{1,2}$ singular stable solution for $ngeq10$. The proof of this conjecture is a consequence of a new universal estimate: we prove that, in dimension $n leq 9$, stable solutions are bounded in terms only of their $L^1$ norm, independently of the nonlinearity. In addition, in every dimension we establish a higher integrability result for the gradient and optimal integrability results for the solution in Morrey spaces. As one can see by a series of classical examples, all our results are sharp. Furthermore, as a corollary we obtain that extremal solutions of Gelfand problems are $W^{1,2}$ in every dimension and they are smooth in dimension $n leq 9$. This answers to two famous open problems posed by Brezis and Brezis-Vazquez.
The existence of an inertial manifold for the 3D Cahn-Hilliard equation with periodic boundary conditions is verified using the proper extension of the so-called spatial averaging principle introduced by G. Sell and J. Mallet-Paret. Moreover, the extra regularity of this manifold is also obtained.
We prove the existence of an Inertial Manifold for 3D complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with periodic boundary conditions as well as for more general cross-diffusion system assuming that the dispersive exponent is not vanishing. The result is obtained under the assumption that the parameters of the equation is chosen in such a way that the finite-time blow up of smooth solutions does not take place. For the proof of this result we utilize the recently suggested method of spatio-temporal averaging.
