Are there soliton solutions for Euler and Navier–Stokes equation?

There are solitary wave solutions for the Euler equations, but they do not have the "soliton" property of passing through each other without changing shape. Friedrichs and Hyers proved existence of su …

Convergence of solutions to Navier-Stokes to Euler's equation for viscosity $\to$ zero

There is a rather extensive literature on this, starting with the following paper of Kato: T. Kato, Remarks on zero viscosity limit for nonstationary Navier-Stokes flows with boundary, In: Seminar on …

Square roots of the Laplace operator

The Fourier transform of a radially symmetric function is a radially symmetric function. Basic scaling shows that the Fourier transform of $\|\xi\|$ must be $\|x\|^{-n-1}$ in some sense. Some care mus …

Sobolev Embedding Theorems

The answer to the first question is yes. It can be found in many of the established texts. For the second question, some condition is needed at infinity. For instance, if the domain has a rapidly thin …

Spectrum of Dirichlet Problem for Laplacian on a Parallelogram

This does not appear to be known. Clearly the remaining eigenfunctions are the same as those for an equilateral triangle with Dirichlet conditions on two sides and Neumann conditions on one side. It i …

A Poincaré-type inequality with logarithmic function

It is false for a ball. In three dimensions, consider $u=r^a$, where $a>-3$ and let $\Omega$ be the unit ball. We find $\bar u=3/(3+a)$. As a approaches -3, the right hand side of your inequality rema …

Linear transport equation with unbounded coefficients

No. Consider the case $p=0$. In that case, solutions are constant along characteristics. But polynomial growth does not preclude characteristics from diverging to infinity in finite time.

Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on singular spaces

There is an extensive literature on elliptic problems on domains with corners. Grisvard's book (Elliptic Problems in Nonsmooth Domains) is a good place to start.

Must Neuman Elliptic operator has discrete spectrum ?

The essential question is whether the embedding from $H^1$ to $L^2$ is compact. Without some boundary smoothness, little seems to be known. The following reference should be of interest: http://www.m …

Lower bound on the solution of a Schrödinger-type equation

Here are a couple of ideas: 1 This yields a lower bound, but it is not in terms of a norm of f: Let $\lambda=\min(f/V)$. Then $u-\lambda$ satisifies $$-\Delta(u-\lambda)+V(u-\lambda)=f-\lambda V\ge …

$H^2$ regularity for Laplace equation with Robin-Robin boundary condition

Without further assumptions, no. Consider the case $a_1=a_2=0$ and $\Omega$ smooth. If $u\in H^2(\Omega)$, then $\partial u/\partial n$ is in $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$ by the trace theorem. However, $g_1\in H …

Backward heat equation and forward perturbed heat equation well posed?

No, this cannot be true if $f$ is just $C^\infty$. Let $u=e^{(\Delta+f)t}u_0$. At $t=1$, $u=e^{\Delta+f}u_0=e^\Delta v_0$ for some $v_0$. Then, by well known properties of the heat equation, $u$ is sp …
