In this paper, we study a hyperbolic–elliptic system on a network which arises in biological models involving chemotaxis. We also consider suitable transmission conditions at internal points of the graph which on one hand allow discontinuous density functions at nodes, and on the other guarantee the continuity of the fluxes at each node. Finally, we prove local and global existence of non-negative solutions — the latter in the case of small (in the [Formula: see text]-norm) initial data — as well as their uniqueness.

AbstractIn this paper, we apply a cross-constrained variational method to study the classic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with cubic nonlinearity in three space dimensions. By constructing a type of cross-constrained variational problem and establishing the so-called cross invariant manifolds, we obtain a sharp threshold for blowup and global existence of the solution to the equation under study which is different from that in [10] . On the other hand, we give an answer to the question that how small the initial data have to be for the global solutions to exist.

AbstractWe consider the Cauchy problem for a parabolic-elliptic system in{\mathbb{R}^{2}}, called the parabolic-elliptic Keller–Segel equation, which appears in various fields in biology and physics. In the critical mass case where the total mass of the initial data is{8\pi}, the unboundedness of nonnegative solutions to the Cauchy problem was shown by Blanchet, Carrillo and Masmoudi [7] under some conditions on the initial data, on the other hand, conditions for boundedness were given by Blanchet, Carlen and Carrillo [6] and López-Gómez, Nagai and Yamada [23]. In this paper, we investigate further the boundedness of nonnegative solutions.

For the Cauchy problem of nonlinear elastic wave equations for 3D isotropic, homogeneous and hyperelastic materials with null conditions, global existence of classical solutions with small initial data was proved in R. Agemi (Invent. Math. 142 (2000) 225–250) and T. C. Sideris (Ann. Math. 151 (2000) 849–874) independently. In this paper, we will give some remarks and an alternative proof for it. First, we give the explicit variational structure of nonlinear elastic waves. Thus we can identify whether materials satisfy the null condition by checking the stored energy function directly. Furthermore, by some careful analyses on the nonlinear structure, we show that the Helmholtz projection, which is usually considered to be ill-suited for nonlinear analysis, can be in fact used to show the global existence result. We also improve the amount of Sobolev regularity of initial data, which seems optimal in the framework of classical solutions.

The random triangles discussed in this paper are defined by having the directions of their sides independent and uniformly distributed on (0, π). To fix the scale, one side chosen arbitrarily is assigned unit length; let a and b denote the lengths of the other sides. We find the density functions of a / b, max{a, b}, min{a, b}, and of the area of the triangle, the first three explicitly and the last as an elliptic integral. The first two density functions, with supports in (0, ∞) and (½, ∞), respectively, are unusual in having an infinite spike at 1 which is interior to their ranges (the triangle is then isosceles).
