Global existence of weak solutions and weak–strong uniqueness for nonisothermal Maxwell–Stefan systems *

The dynamics of multicomponent gas mixtures with vanishing barycentric velocity is described by Maxwell–Stefan equations with mass diffusion and heat conduction. The equations consist of the mass and energy balances, coupled to an algebraic system that relates the partial velocities and driving forces. The global existence of weak solutions to this system in a bounded domain with no-flux boundary conditions is proved by using the boundedness-by-entropy method. A priori estimates are obtained from the entropy inequality which originates from the consistent thermodynamic modelling. Furthermore, a conditional weak–strong uniqueness property is shown by using the relative entropy method.

On a nonlinear diffussive model for the evolution of cells within a moving domain

We investigate the dynamics of a nonlinear model describing the motion of cells under the effect of porous-medium diffusion and transport and in the presence of nutrient and drug application. The momentum equation for the evolution of the velocity field is governed by Darcy’s law, while the evolution of the chemical attractant (nutrient or drug) is governed by a diffusion equation. The system evolves within a moving domain in R 3 \mathbb {R}^3 accounting for the expansion or shrinkage of the tumor. The global existence of weak solutions is established with the aid of a regularized approximating scheme and an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) mapping for the motion of the tumor. This work provides a variational framework suitable for both analysis and simulations.

On the Mass Transfer in the 3D Pitaevskii Model

We examine a micro-scale model of superfluidity derived by Pitaevskii (Sov. Phys. JETP 8:282-287, 1959) which describes the interacting dynamics between superfluid He-4 and its normal fluid phase. This system consists of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the incompressible, inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations, coupled to each other via a bidirectional nonlinear relaxation mechanism. The coupling permits mass/momentum/energy transfer between the phases, and accounts for the conversion of superfluid into normal fluid. We prove the existence of global weak solutions in T3\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$${\\mathbb {T}}^3$$\\end{document} for a power-type nonlinearity, beginning from small initial data. The main challenge is to control the inter-phase mass transfer in order to ensure the strict positivity of the normal fluid density, while obtaining time-independent a priori estimates.

On the Existence of Global Weak Solutions to the 3D Electrically Conductive Rosensweig System and Their Convergence Towards Quasi-Equilibrium

In this article, we study an electrically conductive Rosensweig model for ferrofluids, whose Bloch–Torrey regularization was studied by Hamdache and Hamroun (Appl Math Optim 81(2):479–509, 2020). We mainly prove the global existence of weak solutions to the non-regularized model under a certain smallness condition on the electric conductivity. Hence, our result not only solves a problem that was left open by Hamdache and Hamroun, but it can also serve as a confirmation that ferrofluids are naturally poor conductors of electric current. The proof, which is interesting in itself, is quite involved and relies on the Helmohltz–Leray decomposition of the magnetic fields and the use of renormalized solutions for the magnetization. We also give a rigorous and detailed description of the convergence of the global weak solutions towards the quasi-equilibrium in the relaxation time limit regime τ→0\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\ au \\rightarrow 0$$\\end{document}.

A pseudo‐parabolic equation with logarithmic nonlinearity: Global existence and blowup of solutions

This article deals with a fourth‐order pseudo‐parabolic partial differential equation with logarithmic nonlinearity. We adopt the Faedo–Galerkin method to analyze the global existence of weak solutions and discuss the existence of a solution in subcritical and critical initial energy situations. Further, applying the concavity approach, we have shown that the solution blows up when the initial energy is subcritical, critical, and supercritical. Moreover, we have provided an upper and lower bound for blow‐up time and a decay estimate for the global solutions.

Optimal time decay of the compressible micropolar fluids with discontinuous initial data in 3D

The global existence of weak solutions to Cauchy problem for compressible micropolar fluids with discontinuous initial data has been established in [4]. However, the optimal decay rates of these weak solutions remain an open problem. The current work is to show the optimal decay rates of these weak solutions in Lr-norm with 2<r≤∞ and the optimal decay rates of the first order derivative of the velocity and micro-rotational velocity in L2-norm which are the same as the rates of classical solutions in [20]. In this process, we combine electromagnetic and fluid decomposition, frequency domain decomposition, and construct a series of temporal energy functional to solve complex nonlinear problems with low regularity.

On the Existence and Asymptotic Behavior for a Strongly Damped Nonlinear Coupled Petrovsky-Wave System

In this paper, we consider the initial-boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear coupled wave equation and Petrovesky system in a bounded domain. The strong damping is nonlinear. First, we prove the existence of global weak solutions by using the energy method combined with Faedo-Galarkin method and the multiplier method. In addition, under suitable conditions on functions gi(⋅), i = 1, 2 and a(⋅), we obtain both exponential and polynomial decay estimates. The method of proofs is direct and based on the energy method combined with the multipliers technique, on some integral inequalities due to Haraux and Komornik.

Asymptotic behavior for a class of logarithmic wave equations with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping, nonlinear weak damping and strong linear damping

&lt;abstract&gt;&lt;p&gt;In spaces with any dimension, a class of logarithmic wave equations with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping, nonlinear weak damping and strong linear damping was considered&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;disp-formula&gt; &lt;label/&gt; &lt;tex-math id="FE1"&gt; \begin{document}$ {u_{tt}} - M(t)\Delta u + \left( {g * \Delta u} \right)(t) + h({u_t}){u_t} - \Delta {u_t} + f(u) + u = u\ln {\left| u \right|^k} $\end{document} &lt;/tex-math&gt;&lt;/disp-formula&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;with Dirichlet boundary condition. Under a set of specified assumptions, we established the existence of global weak solutions and elucidated the decay rate of the energy function for particular initial data. This contribution extended and surpassed prior investigations, as documented by A. Peyravi (2020), which omitted the consideration of Balakrishnan-Taylor damping and strong linear damping while being confined to three spatial dimensions. Our findings underscored the pivotal role of these overlooked damping factors. Furthermore, our demonstration underscored that Balakrishnan-Taylor damping, weak damping and strong damping collectively induced an exponential decay, although the precise nature of this decay was contingent upon the differentiable function associated with the memory damping term $ {\zeta (t)} $. Consequently, the absence of the damping term in reference by A. Peyravi (2020) was unequivocally shown not to augment the decay rate. This insight enhanced our understanding of the nuanced dynamics involved and contributed to the refinement of existing models.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/abstract&gt;

The existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to 3D viscous primitive equations with Caputo fractional time derivatives

On the one hand, the primitive three-dimensional viscous equations for large-scale ocean and atmosphere dynamics are commonly used in weather and climate predictions. On the other hand, ever since the middle of the last century, it has been widely recognized that the climate variability exhibits long-time memory. In this paper, we first prove the global existence of weak solutions to the primitive equations of large-scale ocean and atmosphere dynamics with Caputo fractional time derivatives. Then we establish the existence of an absorbing set, which is positively invariant. Finally, an attractor (strictly speaking, the minimal attracting set containing all the limiting dynamics) is constructed for the time fractional primitive equations, which means that the present state of a system may have long-time influences on the states in far future. However, there was no work on the long-time behavior of the time fractional primitive equations and we fill this gap in this paper.

By using Faedo–Galerkin method, we prove the existence of global weak solutions. By the help of the perturbed energy method, the exponential stability of solutions is also established.

Weak solutions for a degenerate phase‐field model via Galerkin approximation

This paper is concerned with a phase‐field model driven by interface diffusion, which is an elliptic and nonlinear degenerate parabolic coupled system arising in a theory of interface motion in the elastically deformable materials. Spinodal decomposition is a typical example for this motion. We shall study the global existence of weak solutions to this model with a general polynomial potential function via the Galerkin method. Moreover, we perform the numerical simulations to investigate the spinodal decomposition process of binary alloy by applying this model.

On blow-up and on global existence of weak solutions to Cauchy problem for some nonlinear equation of the pseudoparabolic type

It is a brief exposition of results of the investigation of Cauchy problem for some nonlinear equation of pseudoparabolic type that is a generalisation of some model of semiconductor theory. In the paper, the potential theory for the linear part of the equation is elaborated, which demanded quite intricate technique, which can be used in other equations. The properties of the fundamental solution of this linear part are also of interest, because of the singularity of its 1st time derivative. This is not usual for this type of equations. Also, we obtain sufficiant conditions of solvability and of finite-time blow-up.

Long time behavior of weak solutions for the nonlinear damped beam equation

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear damped beam equation with logarithmic source and memory term. By using Galerkin method, logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and some compactness arguments, the global existence of weak solutions is obtained. Furthermore, we show the decay estimate of related energy under the smallness assumption on the initial data.

On the Existence of Global Compactly Supported Weak Solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson System with an External Magnetic Field

We consider the first mixed problem for the Vlasov–Poisson system with an external magnetic field in a domain with piecewise smooth boundary. This problem describes the kinetics of a two-component high-temperature plasma under the influence of a self-consistent electric field and an external magnetic field. The existence of global weak solutions is proved. In the case of a cylindrical domain, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of global weak solutions with supports in a strictly internal cylinder; this corresponds to the confinement of high-temperature plasma in a mirror trap.

Global Existence of Weak Solutions to 3D Compressible Primitive Equations of Atmospheric Dynamics with Degenerate Viscosity

In this work, we show the existence of global weak solutions to the three-dimensional compressible primitive equations of atmospheric dynamics with degenerate viscosity density-dependent for large initial data. With a pressure law of the form ρ2, we represent the vertical velocity as a function of the density and the horizontal one which will be important in using Faedo-Galerkin method to obtain the global existence of the approximate solutions. In analogy with the cases in [28] and [26, 27], we prove that the weak solutions satisfy the basic energy inequality and the Bresch-Desjardins entropy inequality. Based on these estimates and using compactness arguments, we prove the global existence of weak solutions of (1.1) by vanishing the parameters in our approximate system step by step.

On global weak solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson equations with external magnetic field

We consider the first mixed problem for the system of Vlasov-Poisson equations with a given external magnetic field in a bounded domain. This problem describes the kinetics of high-temperature plasma in controlled thermonuclear fusion plants and is considered with respect to unknown functions: electric field potential, distribution functions of positively charged ions and electrons. Additionally, we assumed that the distribution functions of charged particles satisfy the condition of mirror reflection from the boundary of the domain under consideration. We prove the existence of global weak solutions of such a problem.
