Continuous data assimilation for the magnetohydrodynamic equations in 2D using one component of the velocity and magnetic fields

We propose several continuous data assimilation (downscaling) algorithms based on feedback control for the 2D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. We show that for sufficiently large choices of the control parameter and resolution and assuming that the observed data is error-free, the solution of the controlled system converges exponentially (in $L^2$ and $H^1$ norms) to the reference solution independently of the initial data chosen for the controlled system. Furthermore, we show that a similar result holds when controls are placed only on the horizontal (or vertical) variables, or on a single Elsässer variable, under more restrictive conditions on the control parameter and resolution. Finally, using the data assimilation system, we show the existence of abridged determining modes, nodes and volume elements.

Cross-Chemotaxis System Derived from an Atherosclerotic Plaque Model

In modeling the inflammatory response to a lesion in an artery wall, there are a number of chemotactic mechanisms going on within the wall layer that lead to an arterial plaque. We introduce a rather reduced model of these dynamic processes, but the focus of this paper is a subsystem of the full model system that has independent interest. Namely, the system here consists of two cell densities, each producing a chemical that is a chemoattractant for the other cell type. Then we prove positivity, local and global existence, and discuss some qualitative behavior of solutions.

On the Attractor for the Semi-Dissipative Boussinesq Equations

In this article, we study the long time behavior of solutions of a variant of the Boussinesq system in which the equation for the velocity is parabolic while the equation for the temperature is hyperbolic. We prove that the system has a global attractor which retains some of the properties of the global attractors for the 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, this attractor contains infinitely many invariant manifolds in which several universal properties of the Batchelor, Kraichnan, Leith theory of turbulence are potentially present.

Gevrey regularity for a class of dissipative equations with analytic nonlinearity

In this paper, we establish Gevrey class regularity of solutions to a class of dissipative equations with an analytic nonlinearity in the whole space. This generalizes the results of Ferrari and Titi in the periodic space case with initial data in $L^2-$based Sobolev spaces to the $L^p$ setting and in the whole space. Our generalization also includes considering rougher initial data, in negative Sobolev spaces in some cases including the Navier-Stokes and the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equations, and allowing the dissipation operator to be a fractional Laplacian. Moreover, we derive global (in time) estimates in Gevrey norms which yields decay of higher order derivatives which are optimal. Applications include (temporal) decay of solutions in higher Sobolev norms for a large class of equations including the Navier-Stokes equations, the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equations, nonlinear heat equations with fractional dissipation, a variant of the Burgers' equation with a cubic or higher order nonlinearity, and the generalized Cahn-Hilliard equation. The decay results for the last three cases seem to be new while our approach provides an alternate proof for the recently obtained $L^p\, (1<p<2)$ decay result for the Navier-Stokes equations by Bae, Biswas and Tadmor. These applications follow from our global Gevrey regularity result for initial data in \emph{critical spaces} with low regularity.

Dissipation vs. quadratic nonlinearity: from a priori energy bound to higher-order regularizing effect

We consider a rather general class of evolutionary PDEs involving dissipation (of possibly fractional order), which competes with quadratic nonlinearities on the regularity of the overall equation. This includes as prototype models, Burgers' equation, the Navier-Stokes equations, the surface quasi-geostrophic equations and the Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis. Here we establish a Petrowsky type parabolic estimate of such equations which entail a precise time decay of higher-order Sobolev norms for this class of equations. To this end, we introduce as a main new tool, an "infinite order energy functional", E(t): = Σ_n α_n t^n |(-Δ)^{nθ/2} u(*,t)|_{H^{β_c}} for appropriate critical regularity index β_c. It captures the regularizing effect of all higher order derivatives of u(*,t), by proving --- for a carefully, problem-dependent choice of weights {α_n}, that E(t) is non-increasing in time.

Gevrey regularity for the supercritical quasi-geostrophic equation

In this paper, following the techniques of Foias and Temam, we establish suitable Gevrey class regularity of solutions to the supercritical quasi-geostrophic equations in the whole space, with initial data in "critical" Sobolev spaces. Moreover, the Gevrey class that we obtain is "near optimal" and as a corollary, we obtain temporal decay rates of higher order Sobolev norms of the solutions. Unlike the Navier-Stokes or the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equations, the low dissipation poses a difficulty in establishing Gevrey regularity. A new commutator estimate in Gevrey classes, involving the dyadic Littlewood-Paley operators, is established that allow us to exploit the cancellation properties of the equation and circumvent this difficulty.

On Gevrey Regularity of the Supercritical SQG equation in Critical Besov Spaces

In this paper we show that the solution of the supercrti- cal surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation, starting from initial data in homogeneous critical Besov spaces belong to a subanalytic Gevrey class. In particular, we improve upon the result of Dong and Li in [26], where they showed that the solutions of Chen-Miao-Zhang (cf. [11]) are classical solutions. We extend the approach of Biswas (cf. [7]) to critical, L^p -based Besov spaces, and adapt the point of view of Lemarie- Rieusset (cf. [36]), who treated the operator arising from applying the analytic Gevrey operator to a product of analytic functions as a bilinear multiplier operator. In order to obtain L^p bounds, we prove that our bilinear multiplier operator is of Marcinkiewicz type, and show that due to additional localizations inherited from working in Besov spaces, this condition implies boundedness.

Dissipative length scale estimates for turbulent flows - a Wiener algebra approach

In this paper, a lower bound estimate on the uniform radius of spatial analyticity is established for solutions to the incompressible, forced Navier-Stokes system on an n-torus. This estimate improves or matches previously known estimates provided that certain bounds on the initial data are satisfied. It is argued that for 2D or 3D turbulent flows, the initial data is guaranteed to satisfy these hypothesized bounds on a significant portion of the 2D global attractor or the 3D weak attractor. In these scenarios, the estimate obtained for 3D generalizes and improves upon that of [Doering-Titi], while in 2D, the estimate matches the best known one found in [Kukavica]. A key feature in the approach taken here is the choice of the Wiener algebra as the phase space, i.e., the Banach algebra of functions with absolutely convergent Fourier series, whose structure is suitable for the use of the so-called Gevrey norms.

Analyticity of the Subcritical and Critical Quasi-Geostrophic equations in Besov Spaces

We establish analyticity of the subcritical and critical quasi-geostrophic equations in critical Besov spaces. The main method is so-called Gevrey estimates, which is motivated by the work of Foias and Temam. We show that mild solutions θ(t), are Gevrey regular, i.e. they satisfy the estimate \sup_{t>0}\|e^{αt^{1/γ}Λ_1}θ(t)\|_{\cap L}<\infty. for a suitably chosen α>0 and a scaling invariant Besov space {\cap L}.

Multivariable generalizations of the Schur class: positive kernel characterization and transfer function realization

The operator-valued Schur-class is defined to be the set of holomorphic functions $S$ mapping the unit disk into the space of contraction operators between two Hilbert spaces. There are a number of alternate characterizations: the operator of multiplication by $S$ defines a contraction operator between two Hardy Hilbert spaces, $S$ satisfies a von Neumann inequality, a certain operator-valued kernel associated with $S$ is positive-definite, and $S$ can be realized as the transfer function of a dissipative (or even conservative) discrete-time linear input/state/output linear system. Various multivariable generalizations of this class have appeared recently,one of the most encompassing being that of Muhly and Solel where the unit disk is replaced by the strict unit ball of the elements of a dual correspondence $E^σ$ associated with a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $\cA$ together with a $*$-representation $σ$ of $\cA$. The main new point which we add here is the introduction of the notion of reproducing kernel Hilbert correspondence and identification of the Muhly-Solel Hardy spaces as reproducing kernel Hilbert correspondences associated with a completely positive analogue of the classical Szegö kernel. In this way we are able to make the analogy between the Muhly-Solel Schur class and the classical Schur class more complete. We also illustrate the theory by specializing it to some well-studied special cases; in some instances there result new kinds of realization theorems.
