We analyze a diffuse interface model that couples a viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation for the phase variable with a diffusion-reaction equation for the nutrient concentration. The system under consideration also takes into account some important mechanisms like chemotaxis, active transport as well as nonlocal interaction of Oono’s type. When the spatial dimension is three, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions to the model with singular potentials including the physically relevant logarithmic potential. Then we obtain some regularity properties of the weak solutions when t>0. In particular, with the aid of the viscous term, we prove the so-called instantaneous separation property of the phase variable such that it stays away from the pure states ±1 as long as t>0. Furthermore, we study long-time behavior of the system, by proving the existence of a global attractor and characterizing its ω-limit set.

AbstractIn this paper we investigate additional regularity properties for global and trajectory attractors of all globally defined weak solutions of semi-linear parabolic differential reaction-diffusion equations with discontinuous nonlinearities, when initial data uτ ∈ L2(Ω). The main contributions in this paper are: (i) sufficient conditions for the existence of a Lyapunov function for all weak solutions of autonomous differential reaction-diffusion equations with discontinuous and multivalued interaction functions; (ii) convergence results for all weak solutions in the strongest topologies; (iii) new structure and regularity properties for global and trajectory attractors. The obtained results allow investigating the long-time behavior of state functions for the following problems: (a) a model of combustion in porous media; (b) a model of conduction of electrical impulses in nerve axons; (c) a climate energy balance model; (d) a parabolic feedback control problem.

This book provides the mathematical foundations for the analysis of a class of degenerate elliptic operators defined on manifolds with corners, which arise in a variety of applications such as population genetics, mathematical finance, and economics. The results discussed in this book prove the uniqueness of the solution to the martingale problem and therefore the existence of the associated Markov process. The book uses an “integral kernel method” to develop mathematical foundations for the study of such degenerate elliptic operators and the stochastic processes they define. The precise nature of the degeneracies of the principal symbol for these operators leads to solutions of the parabolic and elliptic problems that display novel regularity properties. Dually, the adjoint operator allows for rather dramatic singularities, such as measures supported on high codimensional strata of the boundary. The book establishes the uniqueness, existence, and sharp regularity properties for solutions to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heat equations, as well as a complete analysis of the resolvent operator acting on Hölder spaces. It shows that the semigroups defined by these operators have holomorphic extensions to the right half plane. The book also demonstrates precise asymptotic results for the long-time behavior of solutions to both the forward and backward Kolmogorov equations.

We study the pointwise estimate of solution to the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with viscosity in odd spatial dimension. Through the explicit analysis of the Green function, we obtain the large time behavior of solution, and the solution exhibit the generalized Huygens principle.

The purpose of this chapter is to give some historical landmarks to the reader. The concept of weak solutions certainly has its origin in mechanics; the article by C. Oseen [100] is referred to in the seminal paper by J. Leray. In that famous article, J. Leray proved the global existence of solutions of (NSν) in the sense of Definition 2.5, page 42, in the case when Ω = R3. The case when Ω is a bounded domain was studied by E. Hopf in. The study of the regularity properties of those weak solutions has been the purpose of a number of works. Among them, we recommend to the reader the fundamental paper of L. Caffarelli, R. Kohn and L. Nirenberg. In two space dimensions, J.-L. Lions and G. Prodi proved in [91] the uniqueness of weak solutions (this corresponds to Theorem 3.2, page 56, of this book). Theorem 3.3, page 58, of this book shows that regularity and uniqueness are two closely related issues. In the case of the whole space R3, theorems of that type have been proved by J. Leray in.

Diffusion-reaction phenomena are generally described by parabolic differential equations (PDEs), and I am interested in those possessing solutions that fail at large time. A sophisticated method to study the large-time behavior is the Renormalization Group usually encountered in Particles-Physics and Critical Phenomena. In this paper, I review the application of such an approach. In particular, attention is paid to Quantum Field Theory techniques used for the extraction of the asymptotic solutions to PDEs. Finally, I extend discussion to the fractional-time PDEs and with noise.
