Abstract

This article is devoted to the inverse problem of uniquely determining different classes of coefficients in a hyperbolic equation with space-time nonlocal attenuation from a local source-to-solution map. Our objective is to exploit the nonlocal attenuation mechanism to address inverse coefficient problems that remain open, or are even fundamentally intractable, for linear and nonlinear hyperbolic equations without attenuation. More precisely, by leveraging the interactions induced by nonlocal attenuation, we simultaneously determine general classes of leading and lower order coefficients depending on both space and time. In addition, we formulate our results using data collected on disjoint sets, thereby extending the existing theory and introducing the notion of data on sets disjoint in both space and time for hyperbolic equations. Our approach builds on key features of nonlocal operators, such as memory effects and the unique continuation principle, while integrating the interplay between local and nonlocal operators along with structural properties of hyperbolic equations.

On the inhomogeneous discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equations

In this paper, we study the family of inhomogeneous discounted Hamilton-Jacobi equations \begin{equation}\label{hjs1} λ(x)u+h(x,d_x u)=c \quad \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation} on a closed manifold $M$ with a non-identically vanishing discount factor $λ(x)$. There is a critical value $c_0\in[-\infty,\infty)$ such that \eqref{hjs1} admits a viscosity solution if $c>c_0$ and no solution if $c c_0$. In this case, we determine the basin of the stable solution and investigate the long-time behavior of the solution semigroup associated with \eqref{hjs1}. In particular, we obtain a formula relating the lowest convergence rate of the solution semigroup near a stable solution to a minimizing problem concerning the integral of $λ$ over Mather measures supporting on the $1$-graph of the stable solution. This formula has two direct consequences: 1) it yields a description of their asymptotic behavior as $c$ tends to infinity; 2) it helps to classify the ergodic Mather measures and locate their distribution in the phase space. The second consequence leads to a dynamical necessary condition for $c=c_0$.

Global existence of weak solutions to a nematic electrolyte model in 2D

In this paper, we study a system of partial differential equations modeling the dynamics of nematic electrolytes on a two-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. The model couples the Poisson--Nernst--Planck equations for the evolution of ion concentrations and electrostatic potential with the Ericksen-Leslie equations for the flow and orientation of nematic liquid crystals. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to this system. The proof relies on a Ginzburg-Landau approximation scheme. Key steps include deriving uniform energy estimates and establishing the strong convergence of the director field by utilizing a Pohozaev-type identity to handle the lack of compactness in the Ericksen stress tensor.

Shock profiles for the Navier--Stokes--Fourier--Poisson system under the Boltzmann relation

The one-dimensional compressible Navier--Stokes--Fourier--Poisson system under the Boltzmann relation is studied for the existence of small-amplitude viscous shock profiles connecting the Rankine--Hugoniot states of the quasineutral Euler system with effective pressure $P_{\mathrm{eff}}=ρ(θ+1)$. This profile is unique up to translation, of Lax type, and orbitally stable in time without a zero-mass assumption on the perturbation. The proof is based on a center-manifold reduction of the traveling-wave ODE and on the method of $a$-contraction with shifts, together with a relative-entropy functional augmented by electric energy and a sharp estimate of the viscous flux associated with $P_{\mathrm{eff}}$.
