We provide examples of infinitesimally Hilbertian, rectifiable, Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces having pmGH-tangents that are not infinitesimally Hilbertian.

This note studies local integral gradient bounds for distributional solutions of a large class of partial differential inequalities with diffusion in divergence form and power-like first-order terms. The applications of these estimates are two-fold. First, we show the (sharp) global Hölder regularity of distributional semi-solutions to this class of diffusive PDEs with first-order terms having supernatural growth and right-hand side in a suitable Morrey class posed on a bounded and regular open set $\Omega$. Second, we provide a new proof of entire Liouville properties for inequalities with superlinear first-order terms without assuming any one-side bound on the solution for the corresponding homogeneous partial differential inequalities. We also discuss some extensions of the previous properties to problems arising in sub-Riemannian geometry and also to partial differential inequalities posed on noncompact complete Riemannian manifolds under appropriate area-growth conditions of the geodesic spheres, providing new results in both these directions. The methods rely on integral arguments and do not exploit maximum and comparison principles.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for an inviscid compressible Oldroyd-B model in three dimensions. The global well posedness of strong solutions and the associated time-decay estimates in Sobolev spaces are established near an equilibrium state. The vanishing of viscosity is the main challenge compared with [47] where the viscosity coefficients are included and the decay rates for the highest-order derivatives of the solutions seem not optimal. One of the main objectives of this paper is to develop some new dissipative estimates such that the smallness of the initial data and decay rates are independent of the viscosity. Moreover, we prove that the decay rates for the highest-order derivatives of the solutions are optimal, which is of independent interest. Our proof relies on Fourier theory and delicate energy method.

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the critical Sobolev exponent and mixed nonlinearities:

\[\left\{\begin{aligned} & -\Delta u+\lambda u=t|u|^{q-2}u+|u|^{2^{*}-2}u\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N},\\ & u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \end{aligned}\right.\]

1. (1) the above equation has two positive radial solutions for $N=3$, $2< q<4$ and $t>0$ sufficiently large, which gives a rigorous proof of the numerical conjecture in [J. Dávila, M. del Pino and I. Guerra. Non-uniqueness of positive ground states of non-linear Schrödinger equations. Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 106 (2013), 318–344.];

2. (2) there exists $t_q^{*}>0$ for $2< q\leq 4$ such that the above equation has ground-states for $t\geq t_q^{*}$ in the case of $2< q<4$ and for $t>t_4^{*}$ in the case of $q=4$, while the above equation has no ground-states for $0< t< t_q^{*}$ for all $2< q\leq 4$, which, together with the well-known results on ground-states of the above equation, almost completely solve the existence of ground-states, except for $N=3$, $q=4$ and $t=t_4^{*}$.

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of nonconvex vectorial integral functionals whose integrands satisfy possibly degenerate growth and coercivity conditions. The latter involve suitable scale-dependent weight functions. We prove that under appropriate uniform integrability conditions on the weight functions, which shall belong to a Muckenhoupt class, the corresponding functionals $\Gamma$-converge, up to subsequences, to a degenerate integral functional defined on a limit weighted Sobolev space. The general analysis is then applied to the case of random stationary integrands and weights to prove a stochastic homogenization result for the corresponding functionals.

We consider positive solutions to a class of quasilinear elliptic problems involving the Hardy potential under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Via moving plane method, proving a weak comparison principle, we prove symmetry and monotonicity properties for the solutions defined on strictly convex symmetric domains.

In this paper, we consider an initial-boundary value problem of Hsieh's equation with conservative nonlinearity. The global unique solvability in the framework of Sobolev is established. In particular, one of our main motivations is to investigate the boundary layer (BL) effect and the convergence rates as the diffusion parameter $\beta$ goes zero. It is shown that the BL-thickness is of the order $O(\beta ^{\gamma })$ with $0<\gamma <\frac {1}{2}$. We need to point out that, different from the previous work on nonconservative form of Hsieh's equations, the conservative nonlinearity $(\psi ^{\beta }\theta ^{\beta })_x$ implies that new nonlinear term $\psi _x^{\beta }\theta ^{\beta }$ needs to be handled. It is important that more regularities on the solution to the limit problem are required to obtain the convergence rates and BL-thickness. It is more difficult for initial-boundary problem due to the lack of boundary conditions (especially, higher-order derivatives) prevents us from applying the integration by part to derive the energy estimates directly. Thus it is more complicated than the case of nonconservative form. Consequently more subtle mathematical analysis needs to be introduced to overcome the difficulties.

Let $G$ be a primitive permutation group of degree $n$ with nonabelian socle, and let $k(G)$ be the number of conjugacy classes of $G$. We prove that either $k(G)< n/2$ and $k(G)=o(n)$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$, or $G$ belongs to explicit families of examples.

We deal with analytic three-dimensional symmetric systems whose origin is a Hopf-zero singularity. Once it is not completely analytically integrable, we provide criteria on the existence of at least one functionally independent analytic first integral. In the generic case, we characterize the analytic partially integrable systems by using orbitally equivalent normal forms. We also solve the problem through the existence of a class of formal inverse Jacobi multiplier of the system.

We investigate the geometry of Hermitian manifolds endowed with a compact Lie group action by holomorphic isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. In particular, we focus on a special class of these manifolds constructed by following Bérard-Bergery which includes, among the others, the holomorphic line bundles on $\mathbb {C}\mathbb {P}^{m-1}$, the linear Hopf manifolds and the Hirzebruch surfaces. We characterize their invariant special Hermitian metrics, such as balanced, Kähler-like, pluriclosed, locally conformally Kähler, Vaisman and Gauduchon. Furthermore, we construct new examples of cohomogeneity one Hermitian metrics solving the second-Chern–Einstein equation and the constant Chern-scalar curvature equation.

During the last decades, the structure of mod-2 cohomology of the Steenrod ring $\mathscr {A}$ became a major subject in Algebraic topology. One of the most direct attempt in studying this cohomology by means of modular representations of the general linear groups was the surprising work [Math. Z. 202 (1989), 493–523] by William Singer, which introduced a homomorphism, the so-called algebraic transfer, mapping from the coinvariants of certain representation of the general linear group to mod-2 cohomology group of the ring $\mathscr A.$ He conjectured that this transfer is a monomorphism. In this work, we prove Singer's conjecture for homological degree $4.$

In this paper, we study the Friedrichs extensions of Sturm–Liouville operators with complex coefficients according to the classification of B. M. Brown et al. [3]. We characterize the Friedrichs extensions both by boundary conditions at regular endpoint and asymptotic behaviours of elements in the maximal operator domains at singular endpoint. Some of spectral properties are also involved.

Vector-borne diseases, such as chikungunya, dengue, malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever and Zika, pose a major global public health problem worldwide. In this paper we investigate the propagation dynamics of diffusive vector-borne disease models in the whole space, which characterize the spatial expansion of the infected hosts and infected vectors. Due to the lack of monotonicity, the comparison principle cannot be applied directly to this system. We determine the spreading speed and minimal wave speed when the basic reproduction number of the corresponding kinetic system is larger than one. The spreading speed is mainly estimated by the uniform persistence argument and generalized principal eigenvalue. We also show that solutions converge locally uniformly to the positive equilibrium by employing two auxiliary monotone systems. Moreover, it is proven that the spreading speed is the minimal wave speed of travelling wave solutions. In particular, the uniqueness and monotonicity of travelling waves are obtained. When the basic reproduction number of the corresponding kinetic system is not larger than one, it is shown that solutions approach to the disease-free equilibrium uniformly and there is no travelling wave solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the analytical results.

We develop a theory of minimal models for algebras over a Koszul operad with trivial differential defined over a commutative ring (containing $\mathbb {Q}$ in the symmetric case), not necessarily a field, extending and supplementing the work of Sagave for the associative case. Our minimal models are bigraded and contain a projective resolution of the homology.

This paper focuses on a 2D magnetohydrodynamic system with only horizontal dissipation in the domain $\Omega = \mathbb {T}\times \mathbb {R}$ with $\mathbb {T}=[0,\,1]$ being a periodic box. The goal here is to understand the stability problem on perturbations near the background magnetic field $(1,\,0)$. Due to the lack of vertical dissipation, this stability problem is difficult. This paper solves the desired stability problem by simultaneously exploiting two smoothing and stabilizing mechanisms: the enhanced dissipation due to the coupling between the velocity and the magnetic fields, and the strong Poincaré type inequalities for the oscillation part of the solution, namely the difference between the solution and its horizontal average. In addition, the oscillation part of the solution is shown to converge exponentially to zero in $H^{1}$ as $t\to \infty$. As a consequence, the solution converges to its horizontal average asymptotically.

We study nonlinear measure data elliptic problems involving the operator of generalized Orlicz growth. Our framework embraces reflexive Orlicz spaces, as well as natural variants of variable exponent and double-phase spaces. Approximable and renormalized solutions are proven to exist and coincide for arbitrary measure datum and to be unique when for a class of data being diffuse with respect to a relevant nonstandard capacity. A capacitary characterization of diffuse measures is provided.

In this paper, we prove that the ratio of the modulus of the iterates of two points in an escaping Fatou component could be bounded even if the orbit of the component contains a sequence of annuli whose moduli tend to infinity, and this cannot happen when the maximal modulus of the meromorphic function is uniformly large enough. In this way we extend certain related results for entire functions to meromorphic functions with infinitely many poles.

We show that the energy norm of weak solutions to Vlasov equation coupled with a shear thickening fluid on the whole space has a decay rate the energy norm $E(t) \leq {C}/{(1+t)^{\alpha }}, \forall t \geq 0$ for $\alpha \in (0,3/2)$.
