In this paper, we study the large time behavior of solutions to the linearized Hartree equation near a stable equilibrium which is homogeneous in space and investigate the quantum Landau damping. This allows us to get time decay of the electric field, uniformly in the Planck constant, as well as the uniform-in-time convergence of the quantum density towards the classical density as the Planck constant converges to 0.
In this paper, we study higher regularity of homogeneous functions of the gradient of solutions to the inhomogeneous $p$-Laplace equation $\operatorname{div}(|Du|^{p-2}Du)=f$. Although a solution need not be of class $C^2$ across its critical set, its gradient is locally Hölder continuous. Suppose that $Du\in C^{0,α}_{\rm loc}$ with $α\le 1/(p-1)$, and let $Φ$ be smooth away from the origin and positively homogeneous of degree $m$. We prove that $Φ(Du)\in C^k_{\rm loc}$ whenever $m>k/α$. Moreover, all its derivatives of order at most $k$ vanish on the critical set. The proof uses the intrinsic scale $r\simeq |Du|^{1/α}$, Schauder estimates for a normalized uniformly elliptic equation, and an extension lemma across the critical set. We also obtain corresponding results for autonomous anisotropic equations and for elliptic and parabolic $p$-Laplace systems, under the appropriate Hölder assumption on the gradient. Finally, the same argument gives $C^k$ regularity criteria for high powers of nonnegative solutions to the porous medium equation.
We consider a general class of first order ODE systems for the evolution of $N$ interacting particles (in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$) in a mean-field regime. The class of interactions treated includes singular interactions of inverse power type up to power $d+1$, attractive or repulsive, and not necessarily deriving from a potential -- unlike, for instance, the modulated energy method. We introduce a new method to prove quantitative convergence of the discrete system to solutions of the mean-field equation. It relies on studying the evolution of a metric encoding a multiscale control of the difference between the empirical measure and its limit, via mollification by heat kernels. We prove that the desired convergence holds (i) up to the maximal time of existence of the smooth solution to the limiting equation if the singularity is sub-coulombic in any dimension, or coulombic in dimensions 1 and 2 (where, to do so, we introduce a notion of weak solution to the ODE system), or (ii) for short time in the case of Coulomb singularity in dimension 3 and above and (iii) up to a short $N$-dependent timescale for super-coulombic interactions in all dimensions. The latter two results are demonstrated to be optimal as we prove that collisions occur within the same timescale for a class of attractive interactions.
We provide a proof of mean-field convergence of first-order dissipative or conservative dynamics of particles with Riesz-type singular interaction (the model interaction is an inverse power $s$ of the distance for any $0<s<d$) when assuming a certain regularity of the solutions to the limiting evolution equations. It relies on a modulated-energy approach, as introduced in previous works where it was restricted to the Coulomb and super-Coulombic cases. The method is also capable of incorporating multiplicative noise of transport type into the dynamics. It relies in extending functional inequalities of arXiv:1803.08345, arXiv:2011.12180, arXiv:2003.11704 to more general interactions, via a new, robust proof that exploits a certain commutator structure.
This paper is devoted to the discreteness of the transmission eigenvalue problems. It is known that this problem is not self-adjoint and a priori estimates are non-standard and do not hold in general. Two approaches are used. The first one is based on the multiplier technique and the second one is based on the Fourier analysis. The key point of the analysis is to establish the compactness and the uniqueness for Cauchy problems under various conditions. Using these approaches, we are able to rediscover quite a few known discreteness results in the literature and obtain various new results for which only the information near the boundary are required and there might be no contrast of the coefficients on the boundary.
