Abstract

In this paper, we study a two-dimensional Poisson--Nernst--Planck--Navier--Stokes system in a periodic channel driven by wall motion and an imposed tangential electric field, with two ionic species that may have unequal diffusivities. At the electroneutral Couette state, a diffusivity-weighted ionic energy combines with the triangular structure of the linearized operator to yield exponential linear stability for fixed \((A,E_0)\) and all positive diffusivities. Small-data nonlinear exponential stability is then obtained on a complex interpolation space adapted to the graph domain of the generator by combining analytic-semigroup smoothing with quadratic estimates. For unequal diffusivities, the nonzero streamwise modes of the linearized ionic subsystem satisfy a bounded-channel enhanced-dissipation estimate at rate \(D_{\min}^{1/3}|A|^{2/3}\) under an explicit strong-shear condition. When \(D_+=D_-\), a Fourier-mode factorization separates the common Couette advection--diffusion operator from a contractive drift--reaction semigroup, so the same scalar mixing rate is retained without any smallness condition on the electrostatic coupling. We also construct an exact Poisson--Boltzmann/electroosmotic Couette family for prescribed wall potentials. For sufficiently small wall-potential amplitude, its linearized generator is a small graph-domain perturbation of the electroneutral generator, which yields linear and nonlinear exponential stability on the same interpolation scale.

Large friction limit of compressible Navier--Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a half-space

We study the large-friction limit for the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. The velocity satisfies a Navier boundary condition with friction coefficient $α>0$, while the limiting problem satisfies the no-slip boundary condition. We establish estimates for local-in-time smooth solutions that are uniform in $α$ and prove strong convergence of the density and velocity as $α\to\infty$. For weak solutions, we use the Lagrangian flow maps associated with the two velocities to compare the densities and construct suitable transported test functions. This yields weak convergence to the no-slip solution. Our results provide a compressible counterpart of the large-friction limit for incompressible flows.

Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators in ${\mathbb R^2}$

We study $L^p$-boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators $\LL_{\A}$ in ${\mathbb R^2}$, which involve the {physical} Aharonov-Bohm potential. We show that for $1\leq p\leq +\infty$ and $p\not= 2$, the Bochner-Riesz operator $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$ of order $δ$ is bounded on $L^p(\R^2)$ if and only if $δ>\max\big\{0, 2\big|1/2-1/p\big|-1/2\big\}$. The new ingredient {in} the proof is to obtain the localized $L^4(\R^2)$ estimate of $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$, whose kernel is heavily affected by the physical magnetic diffraction, and more singular than the classical Bochner-Riesz means $S_λ^δ(Δ)$ for the Laplacian $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$.

Solitons, scattering and blow-up for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities on $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$

We investigate the long time dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with combined powers on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$. Different from the previously studied NLS-models with single power on the waveguide manifolds, where the non-scale-invariance is mainly due to the mixed nature of the underlying domain, the non-scale-invariance of the present model is both geometrical and structural. By considering different combinations of the nonlinearities, we establish both qualitative and quantitative properties of the soliton, scattering and blow-up solutions. As one of the main novelties of the paper compared to the previous results for the NLS with single power, we particularly construct two different rescaled families of variational problems, which leads to an NLS with single power in different limiting profiles respectively, to establish the periodic dependence results.
