Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

Abstract: We obtain weighted mixed norm Sobolev estimates in the whole space for nonstationary Stokes equations in divergence and nondivergence form with variable viscosity coefficients that are merely measurable in time variable and have small mean oscillation in spatial variables in small cylinders. As an application, we prove interior mixed norm derivative estimates for solutions to both equations. We also discuss boundary mixed norm Hessian estimates for solutions to equations in nondivergence form under the Lions boundary conditions.

Abstract: This paper is devoted to discuss the stabilizability of a class of $ 2 \times2 $ non-homogeneous hyperbolic systems. Motivated by the example in \cite[Page 197]{CB2016}, we analyze the influence of the interval length $L$ on stabilizability of the system. By spectral analysis, we prove that either the system is stabilizable for all $L>0$ or it possesses the dichotomy property: there exists a critical length $L_c>0$ such that the system is stabilizable for $L\in (0,L_c)$ but unstabilizable for $L\in [L_c,+\infty)$. In addition, for $L\in [L_c,+\infty)$, we obtain that the system can reach equilibrium state in finite time by backstepping control combined with observer. Finally, we also provide some numerical simulations to confirm our developed analytical criteria.

Abstract: Motivated by numerically modeling surface waves for inviscid Euler equations, we analyze linear models for damped water waves and establish decay properties for the energy for sufficiently regular initial configurations. Our findings give the explicit decay rates for the energy, but do not address reflection/transmission of waves at the interface of the damping. Still for a subset of the models considered, this represents the first result proving the decay of the energy of the surface wave models.
