Abstract:
The paper deals with the Navier-Stokes equations in a strip in the class of spatially non-decaying (in nite-energy) solutions belonging to the properly chosen uniformly local Sobolev spaces. The global well-posedness and dissipativity of the Navier-Stokes equations in a strip in such spaces has been rst established in [22]. However, the proof given there contains a rather essential error and the aim of the present paper is to correct this error and to show that the main results of [22] remain true.

Abstract:
We construct Green's functions for divergence form, second order parabolic systems in non-smooth time-varying domains whose boundaries are locally represented as graph of functions that are Lipschitz continuous in the spatial variables and $1/2$-Hölder continuous in the time variable, under the assumption that weak solutions of the system satisfy an interior Hölder continuity estimate. We also derive global pointwise estimates for Green's function in such time-varying domains under the assumption that weak solutions of the system vanishing on a portion of the boundary satisfy a certain local boundedness estimate and a local Hölder continuity estimate. In particular, our results apply to complex perturbations of a single real equation.

Abstract:
Let $L:=-\Delta+V$ be a Schrödinger operator with the nonnegative potential $V$ belonging to the reverse Hölder class $RH_{q_0}(R^n)$ for some $q_0\in[n,\infty)$ with $n\geq 3$, and $\varphi: R^n\times[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ a function such that $\varphi(x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function, $\varphi(\cdot,t)\in A_{\infty}(R^n)$ (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights) and its uniformly critical lower type index $i(\varphi)\in (\frac{n}{n+1},1]$. In this article, the authors prove that the second order Riesz transform $\nabla^2L^{-1}$ associated with $L$ is bounded from the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space associated with $L$, $H_{\varphi,L}(R^n)$, to the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space $H_{\varphi}(R^n)$, via establishing an atomic characterization of $H_{\varphi,L}(R^n)$. As an application, the authors prove that the operator $VL^{-1}$ is bounded on the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space $H_{\varphi,L}(R^n)$, which further gives the maximal inequality associated with $L$ in $H_{\varphi,L}(R^n)$. All these results are new even when $\varphi(x,t):=t^p$, with $p\in(\frac{n}{n+1},1]$, for all $x\in R^n$ and $t\in[0,\infty)$.

Abstract:
In this paper, we study the existence of local/global solutions to the Cauchy problem \begin{eqnarray} \rho(x)u_t=\Delta u+q(x)u^p, (x,t)\in R^N \times (0,T),\\ u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)\ge 0, x \in R^N \end{eqnarray} with $p > 0$ and $N\ge 3$. We describe the sharp decay conditions on $\rho, q$ and the data $u_0$ at infinity that guarantee the local/global existence of nonnegative solutions.

In this paper we establish the global existence of strong solution to the density-dependent incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with vaccum in a bounded domain in $R^2$. Furthermore, the limit as the heat conductivity coefficient tends to zero is also obtained.

Abstract:
We consider a parametric nonlinear equation driven by the Neumann $p$-Laplacian. Using variational methods we show that when the parameter $\lambda > \widehat{\lambda}_1$ (where $\widehat{\lambda}_1$ is the first nonzero eigenvalue of the negative Neumann $p$-Laplacian), then the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign (one positive and one negative) and the third nodal. In the semilinear case (i.e., $p=2$), using Morse theory and flow invariance argument, we show that the problem has three nodal solutions.

We consider a semi-discrete in time relaxation scheme to discretize a damped forced nonlinear Klein-Gordon Schrödinger system. This provides us with a discrete infinite-dimensional dynamical system. We prove the existence of a finite dimensional global attractor for this dynamical system.

Abstract:
We establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the incompressible MHD equations in bounded smooth domains of $\mathbb R^3$ under some suitable smallness conditions. The initial density is allowed to have vacuum, in particular, it can vanish in a set of positive Lebessgue measure. More precisely, under the assumption that the production of the quantities $\|\sqrt\rho_0u_0\|_{L^2(\Omega)}^2+\|H_0\|_{L^2(\Omega)}^2$ and $\|\nabla u_0\|_{L^2(\Omega)}^2+\|\nabla H_0\|_{L^2(\Omega)}^2$ is suitably small, with the smallness depending only on the bound of the initial density and the domain, we prove that there is a unique strong solution to the Dirichlet problem of the incompressible MHD system.

Abstract:
In the present paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of a system of quadratic derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations which was introduced by M. Colin and T. Colin (2004) as a model of laser-plasma interaction. The local existence of the solution of the system in the Sobolev space $H^s$ for $s > d/2+3$ is proved by M. Colin and T. Colin. We prove the well-posedness of the system with low regularity initial data. For some cases, we also prove the well-posedness and the scattering at the scaling critical regularity by using $U^2$ space and $V^2$ space which are applied to prove the well-posedness and the scattering for KP-II equation at the scaling critical regularity by Hadac, Herr and Koch (2009).

In this paper, we study semilinear elliptic equations with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a sequence of solutions converging to zero if the nonlinear term is locally sublinear and the existence of a sequence of solutions diverging to infinity if the nonlinear term is locally superlinear.

In this paper we study a free boundary fluid-rigid body interaction problem, the free piston problem. We consider an evolutionary incompressible viscous fluid flow through a junction of two pipes. Inside the "vertical" pipe there is a heavy piston which can freely slide along the pipe. On the lateral boundary of the "vertical" pipe we prescribe Navier's slip boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a local in time weak solution. Furthermore, we show that the obtained solution is a strong solution.

In this paper, we classify the class of constant weighted curvature curves in the plane with a log-linear density, or in other words, classify all traveling curved fronts with a constant forcing term in $R^2.$ The classification gives some interesting phenomena and consequences including: the family of curves converge to a round point when the weighted curvature of curves (or equivalently the forcing term of traveling curved fronts) goes to infinity, a simple proof for a main result in [13] as well as some well-known facts concerning to the isoperimetric problem in the plane with density $e^y.$

Abstract:
We study the existence and the uniqueness of a {\bf positive connection}, that is a stationary solution connecting the boundary data, for the initial-boundary value problem for the viscous shallow water system \begin{eqnarray} \partial_t u + \partial_x v=0, \partial_t v+\partial_x( \frac{v^2}{u}+ P(u))= \varepsilon\partial_x ( u \partial_x(\frac{v}{u})) \end{eqnarray} in a bounded interval $(-l,l)$ of the real line. We firstly consider the general case where the term of pressure $P(u)$ satisfies \begin{eqnarray} P(0)=0, P(+\infty)=+\infty, P'(u) \quad and \quad P''(u)>0 \ \forall u >0, \end{eqnarray} and then we show properties of the steady state in the relevant case $P(u)=\kappa u^{\gamma}$, $\gamma>1$. The viscous Saint-Venant system, corresponding to $\gamma=2$, fits in the general framework.

Abstract:
We consider the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation in 2D in the Coulomb gauge. We establish local well-posedness for $s=\frac 14+\epsilon$ for data for the spatial part of the gauge potentials and for $s=\frac 58+\epsilon$ for the solution $\phi$ of the gauged Klein-Gordon equation. The main tool for handling the wave equations is the product estimate established by D'Ancona, Foschi, and Selberg. Due to low regularity, we are unable to use the conventional approaches to handle the elliptic variable $A_0$, so we provide a new approach.
