Abstract: We consider the temporal periodic solutions to general nonhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic equations with a kind of weak diagonal dominant structure. Under the temporal periodic boundary conditions, the existence, stability and uniqueness of the time-periodic classical solutions are obtained.Moreover, the W2, regularity and stability around the time-periodic solutions are discussed. Our results reveal that the feedback boundary control with dissipative structure can stabilize the K-weakly diagonally dominant nonhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic system around the temporal periodic solution.

Abstract: We study quantitative homogenization of the eigenvalues for elliptic systems with periodically distributed inclusions, where the conductivity of inclusions are strongly contrast to that of the matrix. We propose a quantitative version of periodic unfolding method, based on this and the recent results concerned on high-contrast homogenization, the convergence rates of eigenvalues are studied for any contrast $\delta \in (0,\infty)$.

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the local-in-time well-posedness theory for the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with only horizontal dissipation in the two-dimensional whole space. Due to the lack of the vertical dissipative term and non-uniform positive lower bound of density, it is a highly challenging obstacle for us to establish well-posedenss theory because of the disappearance of estimate for vertical derivative of velocity. Thus, as we deal with the nonlinear term, our method is to control the vertical derivative of velocity by the horizontal one with the help of Hardy inequality. The weight, producing by Hardy inequality, can be absorbed by the good property of density and vorticity. Therefore, we find the appropriate function space to establish the local-in-time well-posedness theory for the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with only horizontal dissipation and far-field vacuum.

Abstract: A numerical approach for the Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) equations in 2D based on a Fourier spectral method with a Krylov subspace technique is presented. The code is used to study the transverse stability of line solitary waves, 1D solitary waves being exact solutions of the 2D waves independent of the second variable. The study of localised initial data as well as crossing 1D solitary waves does not give an indication of stable structures in SGN solutions localised in two spatial dimensions.

Abstract: In this article we introduce a new blowup criterion for (generalized) Euler-Arnold equations on $\mathbb R^n$. Our method is based on treating the equation in Lagrangian coordinates, where it is an ODE on the diffeomorphism group, and comparison with the Liouville equation; in contrast to the usual comparison approach at a single point, we apply comparison in an infinite dimensional function space. We thereby show that the Jacobian of the Lagrangian flow map of the solution reaches zero in finite time, which corresponds to $C^1$-blowup of the velocity field solution. We demonstrate the applicability of our result by proving blowup of smooth solutions to some higher-order versions of the EPDiff equation in all dimensions $n\geq 3$. Previous results on blowup of higher dimensional EPDiff equations were only for versions where the geometric description corresponds to a Sobolev metric of order zero or one. In these situations the behavior does not depend on the dimension and thus already solutions to the one-dimensional version were exhibiting blowup. In the present paper blowup is proved even in situations where the one-dimensional equation has global solutions, such as the EPDiff equation corresponding to a Sobolev metric of order two.

Abstract: In this paper we introduce the notion of parabolic $\alpha$-Riesz flow, for $\alpha\in(0,d)$, extending the notion of $s$-fractional heat flows to negative values of the parameter $s=-\frac{\alpha}{2}$. Then, we determine the limit behaviour of these gradient flows as $\alpha \to 0^+$ and $\alpha \to d^-$. To this end we provide a preliminary $\Gamma$-convergence expansion for the Riesz interaction energy functionals. Then we apply abstract stability results for uniformly $\lambda$-convex functionals which guarantee that $\Gamma$-convergence commutes with the gradient flow structure.
