Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

Abstract: In this work, we show the generic uniqueness of minimizers for a large class of energies, including the Alt-Caffarelli and Alt-Phillips functionals. We then prove the generic regularity of free boundaries for minimizers of the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli and Alt-Phillips functionals, for a monotone family of boundary data $\{\varphi_t\}_{t\in(-1,1)}$. More precisely, we show that for a co-countable subset of $\{\varphi_t\}_{t\in(-1,1)}$, minimizers have smooth free boundaries in $\mathbb{R}^5$ for the Alt-Caffarelli and in $\mathbb{R}^3$ for the Alt-Phillips functional. In general dimensions, we show that the singular set is one dimension smaller than expected for almost every boundary datum in $\{\varphi_t\}_{t\in(-1,1)}$.

Abstract: We obtain three types of results in this paper. Firstly we improve Leray's inequality by providing several types of reminder terms, secondly we introduce several Hilbert spaces based on these improved Leray inequalities and discuss their embedding properties, thirdly we obtain some Trudinger-Moser type inequalities in the unit ball of R2 associated with the norms of these Hilbert spaces where the Leray potential is used. Our approach is based on analysis of radially symmetric functions.

Abstract: We study the final state problem for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a critical long-range nonlinearity and a long-range linear potential. Given a prescribed asymptotic profile which is different from the free evolution, we construct a unique global solution scattering to the profile. In particular, the existence of the modified wave operators is obtained for sufficiently localized small scattering data. The class of potential includes a repulsive long-range potential with a short-range perturbation, especially the positive Coulomb potential in two and three space dimensions. The asymptotic profile is constructed by combining Yafaev's type linear modifier [41] associated with the long-range part of the potential and the nonlinear modifier introduced by Ozawa [32]. Finally, we also show that one can replace Yafaev's type modifier by Dollard's type modifier under a slightly stronger decay assumption on the long-range potential. This is the first positive result on the modified scattering for the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation in the case when both of the nonlinear term and the linear potential are of long-range type.

Abstract: In this article we study the notion of capacity of a vertex for infinite graphs over non-Archimedean fields. In contrast to graphs over the real field monotone limits do not need to exist. Thus, in our situation next to positive and null capacity there is a third case of divergent capacity. However, we show that either of these cases is independent of the choice of the vertex and is therefore a global property for connected graphs. The capacity is shown to connect the minimization of the energy, solutions of the Dirichlet problem and existence of a Green's function. We furthermore give sufficient criteria in form of a Nash-Williams test, study the relation to Hardy inequalities and discuss the existence of positive superharmonic functions. Finally, we investigate the analytic features of the transition operator in relation to the inverse of the Laplace operator.

Abstract: We prove the intrinsic Harnack's inequality for a general form of a parabolic equation that generalizes both the standard parabolic $p$-Laplace equation and the normalized version arising from stochastic game theory. We prove each result for the optimal range of exponents and ensure that we get stable constants.

Abstract: In this paper we prove the existence of solutions to the cubic NLS equation with convolution potentials on two dimensional irrational tori undergoing an arbitrarily large growth of Sobolev norms as time evolves. Our results apply also to the case of square (and rational) tori. We weaken the regularity assumptions on the convolution potentials, required in a previous work by Guardia (Comm. Math. Phys., 2014) for the square case, to obtain the $H^s$-instability ($s>1$) of the elliptic equilibrium $u=0$. We also provide the existence of solutions $u(t)$ with arbitrarily small $L^2$ norm which achieve a prescribed growth, say $\| u(T)\|_{H^s}\geq K \| u(0)\|_{H^s}, K\gg 1$, within a time $T$ satisfying polynomial estimates, namely $0<T\le K^c$ for some $c>0$.
