Analysis of stability and instability for standing waves of the double power one dimensional nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation

For the double power one dimensional nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation, we establish a complete classification of the stability or instability of standing waves with positive frequencies. In particular, we fill out the gaps left open by previous studies. Stability or instability follows from the analysis of the slope criterion of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss. The main new ingredients in our approach are a reformulation of the slope and the explicit calculation of the slope value in the zero-frequency case. Our theoretical results are complemented with numerical experiments.

Finite energy Navier-Stokes flows with unbounded gradients induced by localized flux in the half-space

For the Stokes system in the half space, Kang [Math.~Ann.~2005] showed that a solution generated by a compactly supported, Hölder continuous boundary flux may have unbounded normal derivatives near the boundary. In this paper we first prove explicit global pointwise estimates of the above solution, showing in particular that it has finite global energy and its derivatives blow up everywhere on the boundary away from the flux. We then use the above solution as a profile to construct solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations which also have finite global energy and unbounded normal derivatives due to the flux. Our main tool is the pointwise estimates of the Green tensor of the Stokes system proved by us in \cite{Green} (arXiv:2011.00134). We also examine the Stokes flows generated by dipole bumps boundary flux, and identify the regions where the normal derivatives of the solutions tend to positive or negative infinity near the boundary.

Local regularity conditions on initial data for local energy solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

We study the regular sets of local energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in terms of conditions on the initial data. It is shown that if a weighted $L^2$ norm of the initial data is finite, then all local energy solutions are regular in a region confined by space-time hypersurfaces determined by the weight. This result refines and generalizes Theorems C and D of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 35; 1982) and our recent paper [15] as well.

On bifurcation of self-similar solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

Landau solutions are special solutions to the stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the three dimensional space excluding the origin. They are self-similar and axisymmetric with no swirl. In fact, any self-similar smooth solution must be a Landau solution. In the effort of extending this result to the one for the solution class with the pointwise scale-invariant bound $|u(x)|\leq C_0|x|^{-1}$ for some $C_0>0$, we consider axisymmetric discretely self-similar solutions, and investigate the existence of such solution curve emanating from some Landau solution. We prove that the inclusion of the swirl component does not enhance the bifurcation and present numerical evidence of no bifurcation.

Local energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in Wiener amalgam spaces

We establish existence of solutions in a scale of classes weaker than the finite energy Leray class and stronger than the infinite energy Lemarié-Rieusset class. The new classes are based on the $L^2$ Wiener amalgam spaces. Solutions in the classes closer to the Leray class are shown to satisfy some properties known in the Leray class but not the Lemarié-Rieusset class, namely eventual regularity and long time estimates on the growth of the local energy. In this sense, these solutions bridge the gap between Leray's original solutions and Lemarié-Rieusset's solutions and help identify scalings at which certain properties may break down.

An $ε$-regularity criterion and estimates of the regular set for Navier-Stokes flows in terms of initial data

We prove an $ε$-regularity criterion for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in terms of initial data. It shows that if a scaled local $L^2$ norm of initial data is sufficiently small around the origin, a suitable weak solution is regular in a set enclosed by a paraboloid started from the origin. The result is applied to the estimate of the regular set for local energy solutions with initial data in weighted $L^2$ spaces. We also apply this result to studying energy concentration near a possible blow-up time and regularity of forward discretely self-similar solutions.

Liouville type theorems for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

We show that any smooth stationary solution of the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space, the half space, or a periodic slab must vanish under the condition that for some $0 \le δ\le 1<L$ and $q=6(3-δ)/(6-δ)$, $$\liminf_{R \to \infty} \frac 1R \|u\|^{3-δ}_{L^{q}(R<|x|<LR)}=0.$$ We also prove sufficient conditions allowing shrinking radii ratio $L= 1+R^{-α}$. Similar results hold on a slab with zero boundary condition by assuming stronger decay rates. We do not assume global bound of the velocity. The key is to estimate the pressure locally in the annuli with radii ratio $L$ arbitrarily close to 1.

On the local pressure expansion for the Navier-Stokes equations

We show that the pressure associated with a distributional solution of the Navier-Stokes equations on the whole space satisfies a local expansion defined as a distribution if and only if the solution is mild. This gives a new perspective on Lemarié-Rieusset's "equivalence theorem." Here, the Leray projection operator composed with a gradient is defined without using the Littlewood-Paley decomposition. Prior sufficient conditions for the local expansion assumed spatial decay or estimates on the gradient and imply the considered solution is mild. An important tool is an explicit description of the bounded mean oscillation solution to a Poisson equation, which we examine in detail. As applications we include an improvement of a uniqueness criteria by the authors in Morrey spaces and revisit a proof of a regularity criteria in dynamically restricted local Morrey spaces due to Grujić and Xu.

Global Navier-Stokes flows for non-decaying initial data with slowly decaying oscillation

Consider the Cauchy problem of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with uniformly locally square integrable initial data. If the square integral of the initial datum on a ball vanishes as the ball goes to infinity, the existence of a time-global weak solution has been known. However, such data do not include constants, and the only known global solutions for non-decaying data are either for perturbations of constants, or when the velocity gradients are in $L^p$ with finite $p$. In this paper, we construct global weak solutions for non-decaying initial data whose local oscillations decay, no matter how slowly.

Existence of global weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in weighted spaces

We obtain a global existence result for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with a large class of data allowing growth at spatial infinity. Namely, we show the global existence of suitable weak solutions when the initial data belongs to the weighted space $\mathring M^{2,2}_{\mathcal C}$ introduced in [Z. Bradshaw and I. Kukavica, Existence of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for intermittent data, J. Math. Fluid Mech. to appear]. This class is strictly larger than currently available spaces of initial data for global existence and includes all locally square integrable discretely self-similar data. We also identify a sub-class of data for which solutions exhibit eventual regularity on a parabolic set in space-time.

Global existence, regularity, and uniqueness of infinite energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

This paper addresses several problems associated to local energy solutions (in the sense of Lemarié-Rieusset) to the Navier-Stokes equations with initial data which is sufficiently small at large or small scales as measured using truncated Morrey-type quantities, namely: (1) global existence for a class of data including the critical $L^2$-based Morrey space; (2) initial and eventual regularity of local energy solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with initial data sufficiently small at small or large scales; (3) small-large uniqueness of local energy solutions for data in the critical $L^2$-based Morrey space. A number of interesting corollaries are included, including eventual regularity in familiar Lebesgue, Lorentz, and Morrey spaces, a new local generalized Von Wahl uniqueness criteria, as well as regularity and uniqueness for local energy solutions with small discretely self-similar data.

Existence, uniqueness, and regularity results for elliptic equations with drift terms in critical weak spaces

We consider Dirichlet problems for linear elliptic equations of second order in divergence form on a bounded or exterior smooth domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \ge 3$, with drifts $\mathbf{b}$ in the critical weak $L^n$-space $L^{n,\infty}(Ω; \mathbb{R}^n )$. First, assuming that the drift $\mathbf{b}$ has nonnegative weak divergence in $L^{n/2, \infty }(Ω)$, we establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions in $W^{1,p}(Ω)$ or $D^{1,p}(Ω)$ for any $p$ with $n' = n/(n-1)< p < n$. By duality, a similar result also holds for the dual problem. Next, we prove $W^{1,n+\varepsilon}$ or $W^{2, n/2+δ}$-regularity of weak solutions of the dual problem for some $\varepsilon, δ>0$ when the domain $Ω$ is bounded. By duality, these results enable us to obtain a quite general uniqueness result as well as an existence result for weak solutions belonging to $\bigcap_{p< n' }W^{1,p}(Ω)$. Finally, we prove a uniqueness result for exterior problems, which implies in particular that (very weak) solutions are unique in both $L^{n/(n-2),\infty}(Ω)$ and $L^{n,\infty}(Ω)$.

Discretely self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with data in $L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}$ satisfying the local energy inequality

Chae and Wolf recently constructed discretely self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for any discretely self similar data in $L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}$. Their solutions are in the class of local Leray solutions with projected pressure, and satisfy the "local energy inequality with projected pressure". In this note, for the same class of initial data, we construct discretely self-similar suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations that satisfy the classical local energy inequality of Scheffer and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg. We also obtain an explicit formula for the pressure in terms of the velocity. Our argument involves a new purely local energy estimate for discretely self-similar solutions with data in $L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}$ and an approximation of divergence free, discretely self-similar vector fields in $L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}$ by divergence free, discretely self-similar elements of $L^3_w$.

Discretely self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with Besov space data

We construct self-similar solutions to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for divergence free, self-similar initial data that can be large in the critical Besov space $\dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty}$ where $3< p< 6$. We also construct discretely self-similar solutions for divergence free initial data in $\dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty}$ for $3 1$. These results extend those of \cite{BT1} which dealt with initial data in $L^3_w$ since $L^3_w\subsetneq \dot B^{-1+3/p}_{p,\infty}$ for $p>3$. We also provide several concrete examples of vector fields in the relevant function spaces.

Rotationally corrected scaling invariant solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We introduce new classes of solutions to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the whole and half spaces that add rotational correction to self-similar and discretely self-similar solutions. We construct forward solutions in these new classes for arbitrarily large initial data in $L^3_w$ on the whole and half spaces. We also comment on the backward case.
