Abstract

We consider the focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three dimensions. In \cite{Schmid2026CVPDE}, Schmid constructed finite-time type II blow-up solutions with a continuum of blow-up rates, while the existence of smooth finite-time type II blow-up solutions remained open. We resolve this problem by constructing, for each integer $L\ge1$, smooth radial solutions concentrating a single ground state with the blow-up rate $λ(t)=(\ell+o(1))(T-t)^{2L}$ for some $\ell>0$. Our proof follows a forward construction based on modulation analysis with the energy method. The main obstacle is the lack of a repulsive structure that can be directly exploited to control the remainder. To overcome this obstacle, we adapt Kato's smoothing theory from asymptotic stability analysis to the forward construction. This yields a global spacetime Morawetz estimate for the linearized flow, providing the spacetime control needed to bound the higher-order energy in place of the monotonicity derived from repulsive structures in previous blow-up constructions.

On the dispersive estimates for the discrete Schrödinger equation on a honeycomb lattice

The discrete Schrödinger equation on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice is a fundamental tight-binding approximation model that describes the propagation of waves on graphene. For free evolution, we first show that the degenerate frequencies of the dispersion relation are completely characterized by three symmetric periodic curves (Theorem 2.1), and that the three curves meet at Dirac points where conical singularities appear (see Figure 2.1). Based on this observation, we prove the $L^1\to L^\infty$ dispersion estimates for the linear flow depending on the frequency localization (Theorem 2.3). Collecting all, we obtain the dispersion estimate with $O(|t|^{-2/3})$ decay as well as Strichartz estimates. As an application, we prove small data scattering for a nonlinear model (Theorem 2.10). The proof of the key dispersion estimates is based on the associated oscillatory integral estimates with degenerate phases and conical singularities at Dirac points. Our proof is direct and uses only elementary methods.

Well-posedness and Stability of Thermoelastic Suspension Bridges with Cattaneo Heat Conduction: The Role of Viscoelastic Memory

Thermoelastic suspension bridges operate under strong thermo-mechanical coupling, and the classical Fourier law fails to capture the finite speed of thermal propagation observed in low-conductivity materials such as concrete. This paper investigates a suspension bridge model in which the heat flux is governed by the Cattaneo law with relaxation time $τ$, and in which the bridge deck may or may not possess viscoelastic memory. Using operator semigroup theory, we establish well-posedness and derive sharp decay rates for both regimes. For the memoryless system ($δ=0$), we show that the semigroup is polynomially stable with rate $t^{-1/2}$ when the structural parameters satisfy $\frac{ρ_1}κ = \frac{ρ_2}{b}$, and that the rate deteriorates to $t^{-1/4}$ otherwise; moreover, exponential stability fails whenever $χ_0 \neq 0$, or $χ_0 = 0$ and $χ_1 = 0$, where $χ_0$ and $χ_1$ are parameter-dependent coefficients. In sharp contrast, when viscoelastic memory is present ($δ=1$), the semigroup becomes exponentially stable, regardless of the structural parameter ratio. This reveals a regularizing role of viscoelastic memory: it converts polynomial decay into exponential decay and removes the parameter-ratio obstruction. The results provide a theoretical basis for exploiting inherent viscoelasticity in long-span bridges and for optimizing deck parameters in memoryless structures.
