On solutions of the continuity equation

If $j$ has compact support in $\mathbb R_t\times\mathbb R^3_x$, $\rho$ will have compact support iff $\int_{-\infty}^\infty\nabla\cdot j_s\ ds\equiv0$. The set of approximable $L^2$ solutions should …

Obstruction to Navier-Stokes blowup with cylindrical symmetry

Is there a known obstruction to cylindrically symmetric solutions (with swirl) of incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes blowing up in finite time ? EDIT: in the whole space $\mathbb R^3$, I forgot to say. …

Finding Free surface elevation in semi-infinite channel

What I seem to understand is that the bottom is at $y=-h+v(x-ct)$ where $v$ has compact support. That corresponds to an obstacle moving at a constant speed towards the infinite end. But it might mean …

Smoluchowski-Poisson dynamics with atomic measures

"Smoluchowski-Poisson dynamics" is just a tentative provisional name I give to the following transport equation:$$\partial_t m+\nabla_x\cdot(um)=0$$where $u(x,t)\in\mathbb R^n$ ($x\in\mathbb R^n$, $t\ …

The Biharmonic Eigenvalue Problem on a Rectangle with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

At least the existence of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (question 1) is routine common knowledge. The first one is the minimizer of $\int (\Delta u)^2$ subject to $u\in H^2_0$ and $\int u^2\le1$ (whi …

The monotone operator in $BV$ space

$\varphi:=|.|_{TV}$ is a convex and (I think) lower semicontinuous function from $L^2$ to $[0,\infty]$. Its subdifferential $\partial\varphi$ is what you need to write the Euler-Lagrange equation, in …

A $W^{1,2}_{loc}$ function with uniformly bounded integrals on compact subsets $W^{1,2}$?

Yes. There is an increasing sequence of compacts $K_n\subset\Omega$ whose union is $\Omega$, then $\int_{\Omega}(|f|^2+|\nabla f|^2)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{K_n}(|f|^2+|\nabla f|^2)\le C$.

An acting condition for a superposition operator from $H^1(\Omega)$ to $H^1(\Omega)$

The obvious sufficient condition for $v\mapsto f(v)$ to map $H^1(\Omega)$ to itself ($\Omega$ bounded) is $f$ globally Lipschitz, i.e. $f'\in L^\infty(\mathbb R)$. Add $f(0)=0$ for general $\Omega$. …

Are Pointwise conditions studied?, do they make sense?, do they have any applications?

Such interpolatory conditions are better treated by solving your PDE $Af=\sum_ic_i\delta_{p_i}$ as distributions in the whole domain, with the $c_i$s to be determined so that $f(p_i)=d_i$. For ellipti …

Is this set of function belongs to $L^\infty$?

Let $\Omega=[-1,1]$ and $u(x)=u(-x)=0$ for $x\in[2^{-2k+1},2^{-2k+2})$ and $u(x)=u(-x)=2^{-k}$ for $x\in[2^{-2k},2^{-2k+1})$, $k=1,\ldots,n,\ldots$. Doesn't this $u$ belong to your space $SBV\cap L^\ …

Does this time-dependent trace space have a name?

If you insist on "for all $t$ " as distinct from "for almost every $t$ ", one possible space is $C^1([0,\infty);H^{-1/2})\cap C^0([0,\infty);H^{1/2})$. A possible extension is the unique harmonic func …

Vorticity equation for generalized Naiver Stokes equations

Taking the curl of the original equation in $\mathbb R^3$ gives$$\partial_t\omega+\nu(-\Delta)^\alpha\omega+(u\cdot\nabla)\omega-(\omega\cdot\nabla) u=\nabla\times f$$ $$\nabla\times u=\omega$$ $$\nab …

Stationary Navier-Stokes solutions

Tai-Peng Tsai's book Lectures on Navier-Stokes Equations (2018) cites as Theorem 8.3 (p.149) a theorem of V. Sverak (2011) that excludes the existence of minus one homogeneous solutions on $\mathbb R^ …

Continuous right inverse to the Laplacian operator on $C^\infty$

For each $f\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, there exists $u\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ such that $\Delta u=f$. This, I guess, has been known well before the more general Malgrange-Ehrenpreis theorem that sa …

Stationary Navier-Stokes solutions

Are there known nontrivial ($u\neq0$) stationary solutions to Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb R^3$ ? Not square integrable of course (that's impossible), but with self-similar amplitudes of Fourie …
