We shall study special regularity properties of solutions to some nonlinear dispersive models. The goal is to show how regularity on the initial data is transferred to the solutions. This will depend on the spaces where regularity is measured.
We shall deduce some special regularity properties of solutions to the IVP associated to the KPII equation. Mainly, for datum $u_0\in X_s(\mathbb R^2)$, $s>2$, (see (1.2) below) whose restriction belongs to $H^m((x_0,\infty)\times\mathbb R)$ for some $m\in\mathbb Z^+,\,m\geq 3,$ and $x_0\in \mathbb R$, we shall prove that the restriction of the corresponding solution $u(\cdot,t)$ belongs to $H^m((β,\infty)\times\mathbb R)$ for any $β\in \mathbb R$ and any $t>0$.
We shall deduce some special regularity properties of solutions to the IVP associated to the Benjamin-Ono equation. Mainly, for datum $u_0\in H^{3/2}(\mathbb R)$ whose restriction belongs to $H^m((b,\infty))$ for some $m\in\mathbb Z^+,\,m\geq 2,$ and $b\in \mathbb R$ we shall prove that the restriction of the corresponding solution $u(\cdot,t)$ belongs to $H^m((β,\infty))$ for any $β\in \mathbb R$ and any $t>0$. Therefore, this type of regularity of the datum travels with infinite speed to its left as time evolves.
We study special regularity and decay properties of solutions to the IVP associated to the $k$-generalized KdV equations. In particular, for datum $u_0\in H^{3/4^+}(\mathbb R)$ whose restriction belongs to $H^l((b,\infty))$ for some $l\in\mathbb Z^+$ and $b\in \mathbb R$ we prove that the restriction of the corresponding solution $u(\cdot,t)$ belongs to $H^l((β,\infty))$ for any $β\in \mathbb R$ and any $t\in (0,T)$. Thus, this type of regularity propagates with infinite speed to its left as time evolves.
We consider the initial value problem associated to a large class of fifth order nonlinear dispersive equations. This class includes several models arising in the study of different physical phenomena. Our aim is to establish special (space) decay properties of solutions to these systems. These properties complement previous unique continuation results and in some case, show that they are optimal. These decay estimates reflect the "parabolic character" of these dispersive models in exponential weighted spaces. This principle was first obtained by T. Kato in solutions of the KdV equation
The possibility of finite-time, dispersive blow up for nonlinear equations of Schroedinger type is revisited. This mathematical phenomena is one of the possible explanations for oceanic and optical rogue waves. In dimension one, the possibility of dispersive blow up for nonlinear Schroedinger equations already appears in [9]. In the present work, the existing results are extended in several ways. In one direction, the theory is broadened to include the Davey-Stewartson and Gross-Pitaevskii equations. In another, dispersive blow up is shown to obtain for nonlinear Schroedinger equations in spatial dimensions larger than one and for more general power-law nonlinearities. As a by-product of our analysis, a sharp global smoothing estimate for the integral term appearing in Duhamel's formula is obtained.
We study the initial value problem associated to the dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equation. Our aim is to establish well-posedness results in weighted Sobolev spaces via contraction principle under minimal requirements in the weighted order of the space. One of our new main ideas is the deduction of a pointwise estimate concerning the group describing the solution of the linear problem and the fractional weights.
We study the initial value problem associated to the dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equation. Our aim is to establish well posedness results in weighted Sobolev spaces and to deduce from them some sharp unique continuation properties of solutions to this equation. In particular, we shall establish optimal decay rate for the solutions of this model.
We prove special decay properties of solutions to the initial value problem associated to the $k$-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. These are related with persistence properties of the solution flow in weighted Sobolev spaces and with sharp unique continuation properties of solutions to this equation. As application of our method we also obtain results concerning the decay behavior of perturbations of the traveling wave solutions as well as results for solutions corresponding to special data.
We prove unique continuation principles for solutions of evolution Schrödinger equations with time dependent potentials. These correspond to uncertainly principles of Paley-Wiener type for the Fourier transform. Our results extends to a large class of semi-linear Schrödinger equation.
In this work we shall review some of our recent results concerning unique continuation properties of solutions of Schrödinger equations. In this equations we include linear ones with a time depending potential and semi-linear ones.
We study the existence and stability of the standing waves for the periodic cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a point defect determined by a periodic Dirac distribution at the origin. This equation admits a smooth curve of positive periodic solutions in the form of standing waves with a profile given by the Jacobi elliptic function of dnoidal type. Via a perturbation method and continuation argument, we obtain that in the case of an attractive defect the standing wave solutions are stable in $H^1_{per}$ with respect to perturbations which have the same period as the wave itself. In the case of a repulsive defect, the standing wave solutions are stable in the subspace of even functions of $H^1_{per}$ and unstable in $H^1_{per}$ with respect to perturbations which have the same period as the wave itself.
We study persistence properties of solutions to some canonical dispersive models, namely the semi-linear Schrödinger equation, the $k$-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Benjamin-Ono equation, in weighted Sobolev spaces $H^s(\R^n)\cap L^2(|x|^ldx),\;s,\,l>0$
We study the initial value problem associated to the Benjamin-Ono equation. The aim is to establish persistence properties of the solution flow in the weighted Sobolev spaces $Z_{s,r}=H^s(\R)\cap L^2(|x|^{2r}dx)$, $s\in\R, \,s\geq 1$ and $s\geq r$. We also prove some unique continuation properties of the solution flow in these spaces. In particular, these continuation principles demostrate that our persistence properties are sharp.
It is shown that a strong solution of the Camassa-Holm equation, initially decaying exponentially together with its spacial derivative, must be identically equal to zero if it also decays exponentially at a later time. In particular, a strong solution of the Cauchy problem with compact initial profile can not be compactly supported at any later time unless it is the zero solution.
In this paper we study uniqueness properties of solutions of the k-generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our goal is to obtain sufficient conditions on the behavior of the difference $u_1-u_2$ of two solutions $u_1, u_2$ of the equation at two different times $t_0=0$ and $t_1=1$ which guarantee that $u_1\equiv u_2$.
We discuss the question whether solutions of the initial value problem for the generalized KdV equation can have compact support at two different times.
