Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

Abstract: We consider maximal estimates associated with fermionic systems. First we establish maximal estimates with respect to the spatial variable. These estimates are certain boundary cases of the many-body Strichartz estimates pioneered by Frank, Lewin, Lieb and Seiringer. We also prove new maximal-in-time estimates, thereby significantly extending work of Lee, Nakamura and the first author on Carleson's pointwise convergence problem for fermionic systems.

Abstract: This note is concerned with Strichartz estimates for the wave equation and orthonormal families of initial data. We provide a survey of the known results and present what seems to be a reasonable conjecture regarding the cases which have been left open. We also provide some new results in the maximal-in-space boundary cases.

Abstract: In this paper, we study the ill-posedness issue for the generalized improved Boussinesq equation. In particular we prove there is norm inflation with infinite loss of regularity at general initial data in $\langle \nabla \rangle^{-s}\big(L^2 \cap L^\infty\big)(\mathbb{R})$ for any $s < 0$. This result is sharp in the $L^2$-based Sobolev scale in view of the well-posedness in $L^2(\mathbb{R}) \cap L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$. We also show that the same result applies to the multi-dimensional generalized improved Boussinesq equation. Finally, we extend our norm inflation result to Fourier-Lebesgue, modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces.

Abstract: A quasistatic nonlinear model for poro-visco-elastic solids at finite strains is considered in the Lagrangian frame using the concept of second-order nonsimple materials. The elastic stresses satisfy static frame-indifference, while the viscous stresses satisfy dynamic frame-indifference. The mechanical equation is coupled to a diffusion equation for a solvent or fluid content. The latter is pulled-back to the reference configuration. To treat the nonlinear dependence of the mobility tensor on the deformation gradient, the result by Healey & Kr\"omer is used to show that the determinant of the deformation gradient is bounded away from zero. Moreover, the focus is on the physically relevant case of degenerate mobilities. The existence of weak solutions is shown using a staggered time-incremental scheme and suitable energy-dissipation inequalities.

Abstract: We study the scaling behaviour of a class of compatible two-well problems for higher order, homogeneous linear differential operators. To this end, we first deduce general lower scaling bounds which are determined by the vanishing order of the symbol of the operator on the unit sphere in direction of the associated element in the wave cone. We complement the lower bound estimates by a detailed analysis of the two-well problem for generalized (tensor-valued) symmetrized derivatives with the help of the (tensor-valued) Saint-Venant compatibility conditions. In two spatial dimensions (but arbitrary tensor order $m\in \mathbb{N}$) we provide upper bound constructions matching the lower bound estimates. This illustrates that for the two-well problem for higher order operators new scaling laws emerge which are determined by the Fourier symbol in the direction of the wave cone. The scaling for the symmetrized gradient from \cite{CC15} which was also discussed in \cite{RRT23} provides an example of this family of new scaling laws.

Abstract: We study in this article the blow-up of solutions to a coupled semilinear wave equations which are characterized by linear damping terms in the \textit{scale-invariant regime}, time-derivative nonlinearities, mass terms and Tricomi terms. The latter are specifically of great interest from both physical and mathematical points of view since they allow the speeds of propagation to be time-dependent ones. However, we assume in this work that both waves are propagating with the same speeds. Employing this fact together with other hypotheses on the aforementioned parameters (mass and damping coefficients), we obtain a new blow-up region for the system under consideration, and we show a lifespan estimate of the maximal existence time.

Abstract: Based on variational methods, we study a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for a $p$-sub-Laplacian type quasilinear operator arising from smooth H\"ormander vector fields. We derive the smallest eigenvalue, prove its simplicity and isolatedness, establish the positivity of the first eigenfunction and show H\"older regularity of eigenfunctions. Moreover, we determine the best constant for the $L^{p}$-Poincar\'e inequality as a byproduct.
