We prove the existence of solutions to the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation with low regularity data in function spaces based on the Wiener algebra and in pseudomeasure spaces. In any spatial dimension, we allow the data to have its antiderivative in the Wiener algebra. In one spatial dimension, we also allow data that are in a pseudomeasure space of negative order. In two spatial dimensions, we also allow data that are in a pseudomeasure space one derivative more regular than in the one-dimensional case. In the course of carrying out the existence arguments, we show a parabolic gain of regularity of the solutions as compared to the data. Subsequently, we show that the solutions are in fact analytic at any positive time in the interval of existence.

This article studies the dynamical behaviour of classical solutions of a hyperbolic system of balance laws, derived from a chemotaxis model with logarithmic sensitivity, with time-dependent boundary conditions. It is shown that under suitable assumptions on the boundary data, solutions starting in the $H^2$-space exist globally in time and the differences between the solutions and their corresponding boundary data converge to zero as time goes to infinity. There is no smallness restriction on the magnitude of the initial perturbations. Moreover, numerical simulations show that the assumptions on the boundary data are necessary for the above-mentioned results to hold true. In addition, numerical results indicate that the solutions converge asymptotically to time-periodic states if the boundary data are time-periodic.

We derive a global higher regularity result for weak solutions of the linear relaxed micromorphic model on smooth domains. The governing equations consist of a linear elliptic system of partial differential equations that is coupled with a system of Maxwell-type. The result is obtained by combining a Helmholtz decomposition argument with regularity results for linear elliptic systems and the classical embedding of $H(\operatorname {div};\Omega )\cap H_0(\operatorname {curl};\Omega )$ into $H^1(\Omega )$.

We provide a natural simple argument using anistropic flows to prove the existence of weak solutions to Lutwak’s $L^p$-Minkowski problem on $S^n$ which were obtained by other methods.

We consider a parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis system with singular chemotactic sensitivity and source functions, which is originally introduced by Short et al to model the spatio-temporal behaviour of urban criminal activities with the particular value of the chemotactic sensitivity parameter $\chi =2$. The available analytical findings for this urban crime model including $\chi =2$ are restricted either to one-dimensional setting, or to initial data and source functions with appropriate smallness, or to initial data and source functions with some radial symmetry. In the present work, our first result asserts that for any $\chi \gt 0$ the initial-boundary value problem of this urban crime model possesses a global generalised solution in the two-dimensional setting, without imposing any small or radial conditions on initial data and source functions. Our second result presents the asymptotic behaviour of such solution, under some additional assumptions on source functions.

In this work, we study an elliptic problem involving an operator of mixed order with both local and nonlocal aspects, and in either the presence or the absence of a singular nonlinearity. We investigate existence or nonexistence properties, power- and exponential-type Sobolev regularity results, and the boundary behaviour of the weak solution, in the light of the interplay between the summability of the datum and the power exponent in singular nonlinearities.

We consider entropy solutions to the eikonal equation $|\nabla u|=1$ in two-space dimensions. These solutions are motivated by a class of variational problems and fail in general to have bounded variation. Nevertheless, they share several of their fine properties with BV functions: we show in particular that the set of non-Lebesgue points has at least one co-dimension.

The main purpose of this paper is to capture the asymptotic behaviour for solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations with the anisotropic weights consisting of two power-type weights of different dimensions near the degenerate or singular point, especially covering the weighted p-Laplace equations and weighted fast diffusion equations. As a consequence, we also establish the local Hölder estimates for their solutions in the presence of single power-type weights.

Motivated by some models of pattern formation involving an unoriented director field in the plane, we study a family of unoriented counterparts to the Aviles–Giga functional. We introduce a nonlinear $\operatorname {\mathrm {curl}}$ operator for such unoriented vector fields as well as a family of even entropies which we call ‘trigonometric entropies’. Using these tools, we show two main theorems which parallel some results in the literature on the classical Aviles–Giga energy. The first is a compactness result for sequences of configurations with uniformly bounded energies. The second is a complete characterization of zero-states, that is, the limit configurations when the energies go to 0. These are Lipschitz continuous away from a locally finite set of points, near which they form either a vortex pattern or a disclination with degree 1/2. The proof is based on a combination of regularity theory together with techniques coming from the study of the Ginzburg–Landau energy. Our methods provide alternative proofs in the classical Aviles–Giga context.

This paper proves the energy equality for distributional solutions to fractional Navier-Stokes equations, which gives a new proof and covers the classical result of Galdi [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 147 (2019), 785–792].

Let $\sigma \in (0,\,2)$, $\chi ^{(\sigma )}(y):={\mathbf 1}_{\sigma \in (1,2)}+{\mathbf 1}_{\sigma =1} {\mathbf 1}_{y\in B(\mathbf {0},\,1)}$, where $\mathbf {0}$ denotes the origin of $\mathbb {R}^n$, and $a$ be a non-negative and bounded measurable function on $\mathbb {R}^n$. In this paper, we obtain the boundedness of the non-local elliptic operator

\[ Lu(x):=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\left[u(x+y)-u(x)-\chi^{(\sigma)}(y)y\cdot\nabla u(x)\right]a(y)\,\frac{{\rm d}y}{|y|^{n+\sigma}} \]

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.

We consider a class of generalized nonlocal $p$-Laplacian equations. We find some proper structural conditions to establish a version of nonlocal Harnack inequalities of weak solutions to such nonlocal problems by using the expansion of positivity and energy estimates.

Savin [‘ $\mathcal {C}^{1}$ regularity for infinity harmonic functions in two dimensions’, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 3(176) (2005), 351–361] proved that every planar absolutely minimizing Lipschitz (AML) function is continuously differentiable whenever the ambient space is Euclidean. More recently, Peng et al. [‘Regularity of absolute minimizers for continuous convex Hamiltonians’, J. Differential Equations 274 (2021), 1115–1164] proved that this property remains true for planar AML functions for certain convex Hamiltonians, using some Euclidean techniques. Their result can be applied to AML functions defined in two-dimensional normed spaces with differentiable norm. In this work we develop a purely non-Euclidean technique to obtain the regularity of planar AML functions in two-dimensional normed spaces with differentiable norm.

This article deals with kinetic Fokker–Planck equations with essentially bounded coefficients. A weak Harnack inequality for nonnegative super-solutions is derived by considering their log-transform and adapting an argument due to S. N. Kružkov (1963). Such a result rests on a new weak Poincaré inequality sharing similarities with the one introduced by W. Wang and L. Zhang in a series of works about ultraparabolic equations (2009, 2011, 2017). This functional inequality is combined with a classical covering argument recently adapted by L. Silvestre and the second author (2020) to kinetic equations.

In this paper, we establish a new fractional interpolation inequality for radially symmetric measurable functions on the whole space $R^{N}$ and a new compact imbedding result about radially symmetric measurable functions. We show that the best constant in the new interpolation inequality can be achieved by a radially symmetric function. As applications of this compactness result, we study the existence of ground states of the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation on the whole space $R^{N}$. We also prove an existence result of standing waves and prove their orbital stability.

In this paper, we discuss the solvability of the p-k-Hessian inequality $\sigma _{k}^{\frac 1k} ( \lambda ( D_{i} (|Du|^{p-2}$ $ D_{j}u ) ) ) \geq f(u)$ on the entire space $\mathbb {R}^{n}$ and provide a necessary and sufficient condition, which can be regarded as a generalized Keller–Osserman condition. Furthermore, we obtain the optimal regularity of solution.

In this paper, we prove the existence and regularity of pullback attractors for non-autonomous nonclassical diffusion equations with nonlocal diffusion when the nonlinear term satisfies critical exponential growth and the external force term $h \in L_{l o c}^{2}(\mathbb {R} ; H^{-1}(\Omega )).$ Under some appropriate assumptions, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution in the time-dependent space $\mathcal {H}_{t}(\Omega )$ and the existence and regularity of the pullback attractors.
