Abstract

We establish weighted pointwise estimates for the response Green function and the complete electric field of the linearized Vlasov--Poisson system in $\mathbb{R}_x^3\times\mathbb{R}_v^3$ around compactly supported radial equilibria. Both decompose into a dispersive wave component with $t^{-3/2}$ decay in $L_x^\infty$ and a faster-decaying Landau-damped component. The wave estimate includes the survival threshold, where the oscillatory branch meets the continuous spectrum, while the damped estimates resolve the spatial fronts associated with the velocity boundaries. The equilibrium class includes shells with independent inner and outer orders of vanishing, down to first order, and profiles positive throughout a velocity ball. The proof combines a joint treatment of pole and continuum contributions with a low-frequency normal form for the electric field. The electric-field estimates hold for real, neutral perturbations with finite weighted regularity and imply uniform scattering along free characteristics. An exact momentum--velocity correspondence for suitable filled-ball profiles yields analogous estimates and scattering for a class of nonnegative relativistic equilibria with polynomial momentum tails.

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.
