In which way is this a linearization of the Gross-Pitaevskii-Equation?
The linearization intended by Bethuel et al. is around $\tilde{v}=1$, so around $f=0$, $g=0$, so the linearized equation is
$0=L_0 \left( \begin{array}{l} f \\\ g \end{array} \right)$
with $L_0 = \le …

name of elliptic pde with a power law nonlinearity
The case $p=2$ is the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, more generally written as
$$Eu=-\Delta u+\kappa|u|^2 u,$$
with coefficients $E,\kappa\in\mathbb R$. It describes the propagation of light in nonli …

The attractive 'force' between phase interfaces in the Allen-Cahn model
The gradient flow

"Overdetermined" Poisson equation
Here is one study Overdetermined elliptic problems in physics.
It is proven in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that the Poisson equation $\Delta u=-{\rm constant}$ in $\Omega$, with boundary conditions $u=0$, $\partia …

Solving an equation with fractional laplacian
The solution to
$$(-\Delta)^s u(x)=1,\;\;-1<x<1,

with $u(x)=0$ for $|x|\geq 1$ is
$$
u(x)=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}(1-x^2)^s }{4^{s}\Gamma(\tfrac{1}{2}+s)\Gamma(1+s)},$$
as follows from the integral definit …

Origin of the Liouville theorem for harmonic functions
References to Liouville go back to his 1847 result that a doubly periodic function without poles is identically constant, which does not yet contain the generalization to either harmonic functions or …

Gauge fixing for a semi-relativistic model involving electromagnetism
You could just try: $A\mapsto A+\nabla \lambda$ leaves the first two equations invariant if I transform $u\mapsto e^{i\lambda}u$ and leave $V$ the same, but then the third equation no longer holds, so …

Does current follow the path(s) of least (total) resistance?
Perhaps to resolve this issue it helps to work out a simple example.
Take a region $D$ consisting of the strip $|x|<1$, $0<y<1$, and a $y$-independent conductivity profile
$$\sigma(x)=\begin{cases}
1 …

Is it true that $\nabla_x \int_0^\infty f(t,0) dt = 0 \implies \nabla_x f(t,0) = 0 \ \forall...
No, the implication in the title is not true, as a simple counterexample, take a factorized $f(t,x)=a(t)b(x)$, with $\int_0^\infty a(t)dt=0$ but $a(t)$ not identically equal to zero and $\nabla_x b(0) …

Kernel of the Laplacian + a function
Q: Can we conclude that $Lu=\Delta u+ fu=0$ has only zero (or constant solutions) if we assume $f$ non-constant?
A: No, a counter example in one dimension is the Mathieu equation, which has non-consta …
