Sharp homogeneous Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities with applications to normalized solutions for a generalized MMT-type equation

In this paper, we prove the existence of optimizers for a class of sharp homogeneous Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities, extending the result of Bellazzini, Frank, and Visciglia \cite{Bellazzini2014}. As an application, we establish the existence of normalized solutions to the associated Euler--Lagrange equations. In particular, the case $p=2$ includes the stationary equation arising from the Majda--McLaughlin--Tabak (MMT) model \cite{Majda1997}.

Traveling Waves for Nonlocal Derivative Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations: A Variational Characterization

We establish several existence results for traveling-wave solutions of the nonlocal derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with general coefficients by variational methods. We study associated minimization problems in the subcritical and critical cases and prove the existence of a minimizer in each case. Finally, we derive Pohozaev-type identities and use them to establish corresponding nonexistence results.

Existence of dipoles of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system

In this paper, we study the long time behavior of solutions of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system. We show that there exists a solution with special characteristics, which we shall refer to as a dipole solution, that is, there exists a solution $\vec{u}$ such that $$\left\|\vec{u}(t)-\sum_{k=1}^{2}\vec{R}_{k}\right\|_{X} \to 0 \, \, \text{as}\, \, t\to \infty,$$ where $\vec{R}_{k}$ represents a solitary wave for each $k$, with a translation $z_k$ with respect to its position, satisfying that $$|z_1(t)-z_2(t)| \sim 2\log(t)\, \, \text{as} \, \, t\to \infty.$$ Our approach will initially focus on the spectral analysis of the Hamiltonian operator associated with our system. Subsequently, we aim to establish a coercivity estimate that will allow us to derive conditions ensuring the existence of our solution. It is important to note that, in this problem, our objective is to obtain approximate solutions by solving a final data problem. These approximate solutions will then be used, through uniform estimates and compactness results, to derive the desired conclusions via density arguments.

Numerical study of a nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation (MMT model)

In this paper, we study a nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation (MMT model). We investigate the effect of the nonlocal operator appearing in the nonlinearity on the long-term behavior of solutions, and we identify the conditions under which the solutions of the Cauchy problem associated with this equation is bounded globally in time in the energy space. We also explore the dynamical behavior of standing wave solutions. Therefore, we first numerically generate standing wave solutions of nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation by using the Petviashvili's iteration method and their stability is investigated by the split-step Fourier method. This equation also has a two-parameter family of standing wave solutions. In a second step, we meticulously concern with the construction and stability of a two-parameter family of standing wave solutions numerically. Finally, we investigate the semi-classical limit of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation in both focusing and defocusing cases.

Studies on a system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with potential and quadratic interaction

In this work, we study the existence of various classes of standing waves for a nonlinear Schrödinger system with quadratic interaction, along with a harmonic or partially harmonic potential. We establish the existence of ground-state normalized solutions for this system, which serve as local minimizers of the associated functionals. To address the difficulties raised by the potential term, we employ profile decomposition and concentration-compactness principles. The absence of global energy minimizers in critical and supercritical cases leads us to focus on local energy minimizers. Positive results arise in scenarios of partial confinement, attributed to the spectral properties of the associated linear operators. Furthermore, we demonstrate the existence of a second normalized solution using Mountain-pass geometry, effectively navigating the difficulties posed by the nonlinear terms. We also explore the asymptotic behavior of local minimizers, revealing connections with unique eigenvectors of the linear operators. Additionally, we identify global and blow-up solutions over time under specific conditions, contributing new insights into the dynamics of the system.

Multi-soliton solutions of Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system

In this study, we investigate the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system with a focus on identifying multi-soliton solutions. Specifically, for a given number $N$ of solitons, we demonstrate the existence of a multi-soliton solution that asymptotically converges, in the energy space, to the sum of these solitons. Our proof extends and builds upon the previous results in \cite{cote, cotem, IA} concerning the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the generalized Klein-Gordon equation. In contrast to the method used in \cite{cotem} to establish the existence of multi-solitons for the Klein-Gordon equation, where the difficulty arises from the directions imposed by the coercivity property, requiring the identification of eigenfunctions of the coercivity operator to derive new control estimates, the structure of the present system allows for a more refined result. Specifically, the directional constraints can be eliminated by employing orthogonality arguments derived from localization and modulation techniques.

Existence of normalized ground state solution to a mixed Schrödinger system in a plane

In this paper, we establish the existence of positive ground state solutions for a class of mixed Schrödinger systems with concave-convex nonlinearities in $\mathbb{R}^2$, subject to $L^2$-norm constraints; that is, \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\partial_{xx} u + (-Δ)_y^s u + λ_1 u &= μ_1 u^{p-1} + βr_1 u^{r_1-1} v^{r_2}, && -\partial_{xx} v + (-Δ)_y^s v + λ_2 v &= μ_2 v^{q-1} + βr_2 u^{r_1} v^{r_2-1}, && \end{aligned} \right. \] subject to the $L^2$-norm constraints: \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} u^2 \,\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y = a \quad \text{and} \quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} v^2 \,\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y = b, \] where $(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2$, $u, v \geq 0$, $s \in \left(1/2, 1 \right)$, $μ_1, μ_2, β> 0$, $r_1, r_2 > 1$, the prescribed masses $a, b > 0$, and the parameters $λ_1, λ_2$ appear as Lagrange multipliers. Moreover, the exponents $p, q, r_1 + r_2$ satisfy: \[ \frac{2(1+3s)}{1+s} < p, q, r_1 + r_2 < 2_s, \] where $2_s = \frac{2(1+s)}{1-s}$. To obtain our main existence results, we employ variational techniques such as the Mountain Pass Theorem, the Pohozaev manifold, Steiner rearrangement, and others, consolidating the works of Louis Jeanjean et al. \cite{jeanjean2024normalized}.

Multi-solitons of one-dimensional Boussinesq equation

The existence of multi-speed solitary waves for the one-dimensional good Boussinesq equation with a power nonlinearity is proven. These solutions are shown to behave at large times as a pair of scalar solitary waves traveling at different speeds. Both subcritical and supercritical cases are treated. The proof is based on the construction of approximations of the multi-speed solitary waves by solving an equivalent system backward in time and using energy methods to obtain uniform estimates.

A system of inhomogeneous NLS arising in optical media with a $χ^{(2)}$ nonlinearity, part I : Dynamics

We study a system of inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equations that emerge in optical media with a $χ^{(2)}$ nonlinearity. This nonlinearity, whose local strength is subject to a cusp-shaped spatial modulation, $χ^{(2)}\sim |x|^{-α}$ where $α> 0$, can be induced by spatially non-uniform poling. Our first step is to establish a vectorial Gagliardo--Nirenberg type inequality related to the system. This allows us to identify the necessary conditions on the initial data that lead to the existence of global in time solutions. By exploiting the spatial decay at infinity of the nonlinearity, we demonstrate the non-radial energy scattering in the mass-supercritical regime for global solutions. These solutions have initial data that lie below a mass-energy threshold, regardless of whether the system is mass-resonant or non-mass resonant. Lastly, we provide the criteria for the existence of non-radial blow-up solutions with mass-critical and mass-supercritical nonlinearities in both mass and non-mass resonance cases.

Long time behavior of solutions to the generalized Boussinesq equation

In this paper, we study the generalized Boussinesq equation as a model for the water wave problem with surface tension. Initially, we investigate the initial value problem within Sobolev spaces, deriving conditions under which solutions are either global or experience blow-up in time. Subsequently, we extend our analysis to Bessel potential and modulation spaces, determining the asymptotic behavior of solutions. We establish the non-existence of solitary waves for certain parameters using Pohozaev-type identities. Additionally, we numerically generate solitary wave solutions of the generalized Boussinesq equation through the Petviashvili iteration method. To further examine the time evolution of solutions, we propose employing the Fourier pseudo-spectral numerical method. Our investigation extends to the gap interval, where neither global existence nor blow-up results have been theoretically established. We find that our numerical results effectively fill these gaps, supplementing the theoretical findings.

New insights into the solutions of a class of anisotropic nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the plane

In this paper, we study the following anisotropic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the plane, \[ \begin{cases} {\rm i}\partial_t Φ+\partial_{xx} Φ-D_y^{2s} Φ+|Φ|^{p-2}Φ=0,&\quad (t,x,y)\in\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2, Φ(x,y,0)=Φ_0(x,y),&\quad (x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2, \end{cases} \] where $D_y^{2s}=\left(-\partial_{yy}\right)^s$ denotes the fractional Laplacian with $0<s<1$ and $2<p<\frac{2(1+s)}{1-s}$. We first study the existence of normalized solutions to this equation in the subcritical, critical, and supercritical cases. To this aim, regularity results and a Pohozaev type identity are necessary. Then, we determine the conditions under which the solutions blow up. Furthermore, we demonstrate the existence of boosted traveling waves when $s\geq1/2$ and their decay at infinity. Additionally, for the delicate case $s=1/2$, we provide a non-existence result of boosted traveling waves and we establish that there is no scattering for small data. Finally, we also study normalized boosted travelling waves in the mass subcritical case. Due to the nature of the equation, we do not impose any radial symmetry on the initial data or on the solutions.

Angular traveling waves of the high-dimensional Boussinesq equation

This paper studies traveling waves with nonzero wave speed (angular traveling waves) of the high-dimensional Boussinesq equation that have not been studied before. We analyze the properties of these waves and demonstrate that, unlike the unique stationary solution, they lack positivity, radial symmetry, and exponential decay. By employing variational and geometric approaches, along with perturbation theory, we establish the orbital (in)stability and strong instability of these traveling waves.

This paper investigates the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a singular convolution potential. It demonstrates the local well-posedness of this equation in a modified Sobolev space linked to the energy. Additionally, we derive conditions under which the solutions are uniformly bounded in the energy space. This finding is closely linked to the existence of standing waves for this equation.

On the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with double-power nonlinearities

In this paper, we delve into the study of the generalized KP equation, which incorporates double-power nonlinearities. Our investigation covers various aspects, including the existence of solitary waves, their nonlinear stability, and instability. Notably, we address a broader class of nonlinearities represented by $μ_1|u|^{p_1-1}u+μ_2|u|^{p_2-1}u$, with $p_1>p_2$, encompassing cases where $μ_1>0$ and $μ_1<0<μ_2$. One of the distinct features of our work is the absence of scaling, which introduces several challenges in establishing the existence of ground states. To overcome these challenges, we employ two different minimization problems, offering novel approaches to address this issue. Furthermore, our study includes a nuanced analysis to ascertain the stability of these ground states. Intriguingly, we extend our stability analysis to encompass cases where the convexity of the Lyapunov function is not guaranteed. This expansion of stability criteria represents a significant contribution to the field. Moving beyond the analysis of solitary waves, we shift our focus to the associated Cauchy problem. Here, we derive criteria that determine whether solutions exhibit finite-time blow-up or remain uniformly bounded within the energy space. Remarkably, our study unveils a notable gap in the existing literature, characterized by the absence of both theoretical evidence of blow-up and uniform boundedness. To explore this intriguing scenario, we employ the integrating factor method, providing a numerical investigation of solution behavior. This method distinguishes itself by offering spectral-order accuracy in space and fourth-order accuracy in time. Lastly, we rigorously establish the strong instability of the ground states, adding another layer of understanding to the complex dynamics inherent in the generalized KP equation.

On the focusing fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the waveguide manifolds

In this paper, we consider the focusing fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (FNLS) on the waveguide manifolds $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}^m$ both in the isotropic and anisotropic case. Under different conditions, we establish the existence and periodic dependence of the ground states of the focusing FNLS. In the intercritical regime, we also establish the large data scattering for the anisotropic focusing FNLS by appealing to the framework of semivirial vanishing geometry.

Well-posedness and analyticity of solutions for the sixth-order Boussinesq equation

Studied in this paper is the sixth-order Boussinesq equation. We extend the local well-posedness theory for this equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities to the high dimensional case. In spite of having the ``bad'' fourth term $Δu$ in the equation, we derive some dispersive estimates leading to the existence of local solutions which also improves the previous results in the cubic case. In addition, we show persistence of spatial analyticity of solutions for the cubic nonlinearity.
