Perturbative Cauchy theory for a flux-incompressible Maxwell-Stefan system

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Recently, the authors proved [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>] that the Maxwell-Stefan system with an incompressibility-like condition on the total flux can be rigorously derived from the multi-species Boltzmann equation. Similar cross-diffusion models have been widely investigated, but the particular case of a perturbative incompressible setting around a non constant equilibrium state of the mixture (needed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>]) seems absent of the literature. We thus establish a quantitative perturbative Cauchy theory in Sobolev spaces for it. More precisely, by reducing the analysis of the Maxwell-Stefan system to the study of a quasilinear parabolic equation on the sole concentrations and with the use of a suitable anisotropic norm, we prove global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions and their exponential trend to equilibrium in a perturbative regime around any macroscopic equilibrium state of the mixture. As a by-product, we show that the equimolar diffusion condition naturally appears from this perturbative incompressible setting.</p>

Normal Forms and Cohomology Classes at Single Resonances

This chapter discusses the single-resonance non-degeneracy conditions and normal forms. It then formulates Theorem 3.3, which covers the forcing equivalence in the single-resonance regime. The classical partial averaging theory indicates that after a coordinate change, the system has the normal form away from punctures. In order to state the normal form, one needs an anisotropic norm adapted to the perturbative nature of the system. The chapter also uses the idea of Lochak to cover the action space with double resonances. A double resonance corresponds to a periodic orbit of the unperturbed system. Finally, the chapter looks at a lemma which is an easy consequence of the Dirichlet theorem.

EESTIMATES OF BEST APPROXIMATIONS OF FUNCTIONS WITH LOGARITHMIC SMOOTHNESS IN THE LORENTZ SPACE WITH ANISOTROPIC NORM

In this paper, we consider the anisotropic Lorentz space \(L_{\bar{p}, \bar\theta}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\) of periodic functions of \(m\) variables. The Besov space \(B_{\bar{p}, \bar\theta}^{(0, \alpha, \tau)}\) of functions with logarithmic smoothness is defined. The aim of the paper is to find an exact order of the best approximation of functions from the class \(B_{\bar{p}, \bar\theta}^{(0, \alpha, \tau)}\) by trigonometric polynomials under different relations between the parameters \(\bar{p}, \bar\theta,\) and \(\tau\).The paper consists of an introduction and two sections. In the first section, we establish a sufficient condition for a function \(f\in L_{\bar{p}, \bar\theta^{(1)}}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\) to belong to the space \(L_{\bar{p}, \theta^{(2)}}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\) in the case \(1{<\theta^{2}<\theta_{j}^{(1)}},$ ${j=1,\ldots,m},\) in terms of the best approximation and prove its unimprovability on the class \(E_{\bar{p},\bar{\theta}}^{\lambda}=\{f\in L_{\bar{p},\bar{\theta}}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\colon{E_{n}(f)_{\bar{p},\bar{\theta}}\leq\lambda_{n},}\) \({n=0,1,\ldots\},}\) where \(E_{n}(f)_{\bar{p},\bar{\theta}}\) is the best approximation of the function \(f \in L_{\bar{p},\bar{\theta}}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\) by trigonometric polynomials of order \(n\) in each variable \(x_{j},\) \(j=1,\ldots,m,\) and \(\lambda=\{\lambda_{n}\}\) is a sequence of positive numbers \(\lambda_{n}\downarrow0\) as \(n\to+\infty\). In the second section, we establish order-exact estimates for the best approximation of functions from the class \(B_{\bar{p}, \bar\theta^{(1)}}^{(0, \alpha, \tau)}\) in the space \(L_{\bar{p}, \theta^{(2)}}^{*}(\mathbb{I}^{m})\).
