A threshold phenomenon for embeddings of into Orlicz spaces
We consider a sequence of positive smooth critical points of the
Adams-Moser-Trudinger embedding of into Orlicz spaces. We study its
concentration-compactness behavior and show that if the sequence is not
precompact, then the liminf of the -norms of the functions is greater
than or equal to a positive geometric constant.Comment: 14 Page
The regularized 3D Boussinesq equations with fractional Laplacian and no diffusion
In this paper, we study the 3D regularized Boussinesq equations. The velocity
equation is regularized \`a la Leray through a smoothing kernel of order
in the nonlinear term and a -fractional Laplacian; we consider
the critical case and we assume . The temperature equation is a pure transport equation, where
the transport velocity is regularized through the same smoothing kernel of
order . We prove global well posedness when the initial velocity is in
and the initial temperature is in for
. This regularity is enough to prove uniqueness of
solutions. We also prove a continuous dependence of the solutions on the
initial conditions.Comment: 28 pages; final version accepted for publication in Journal of

Data-adaptive harmonic spectra and multilayer Stuart-Landau models
Harmonic decompositions of multivariate time series are considered for which
we adopt an integral operator approach with periodic semigroup kernels.
Spectral decomposition theorems are derived that cover the important cases of
two-time statistics drawn from a mixing invariant measure.
The corresponding eigenvalues can be grouped per Fourier frequency, and are
actually given, at each frequency, as the singular values of a cross-spectral
matrix depending on the data. These eigenvalues obey furthermore a variational
principle that allows us to define naturally a multidimensional power spectrum.
The eigenmodes, as far as they are concerned, exhibit a data-adaptive character
manifested in their phase which allows us in turn to define a multidimensional
phase spectrum.
The resulting data-adaptive harmonic (DAH) modes allow for reducing the
data-driven modeling effort to elemental models stacked per frequency, only
coupled at different frequencies by the same noise realization. In particular,
the DAH decomposition extracts time-dependent coefficients stacked by Fourier
frequency which can be efficiently modeled---provided the decay of temporal
correlations is sufficiently well-resolved---within a class of multilayer
stochastic models (MSMs) tailored here on stochastic Stuart-Landau oscillators.
Applications to the Lorenz 96 model and to a stochastic heat equation driven
by a space-time white noise, are considered. In both cases, the DAH
decomposition allows for an extraction of spatio-temporal modes revealing key
features of the dynamics in the embedded phase space. The multilayer
Stuart-Landau models (MSLMs) are shown to successfully model the typical
patterns of the corresponding time-evolving fields, as well as their statistics
of occurrence.Comment: 26 pages, double columns; 15 figure
Traveling waves for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with nonzero conditions at infinity, II
We prove the existence of nontrivial finite energy traveling waves for a
large class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with nonzero conditions at
infinity (includindg the Gross-Pitaevskii and the so-called "cubic-quintic"
equations) in space dimension . We show that minimization of the
energy at fixed momentum can be used whenever the associated nonlinear
potential is nonnegative and it gives a set of orbitally stable traveling
waves, while minimization of the action at constant kinetic energy can be used
in all cases. We also explore the relationship between the families of
traveling waves obtained by different methods and we prove a sharp nonexistence
result for traveling waves with small energy.Comment: Final version, accepted for publication in the {\it Archive for

Finite-dimensional global and exponential attractors for the reaction-diffusion problem with an obstacle potential
A reaction-diffusion problem with an obstacle potential is considered in a
bounded domain of . Under the assumption that the obstacle \K is a
closed convex and bounded subset of with smooth boundary or it
is a closed -dimensional simplex, we prove that the long-time behavior of
the solution semigroup associated with this problem can be described in terms
of an exponential attractor. In particular, the latter means that the fractal
dimension of the associated global attractor is also finite
A concentration phenomenon for semilinear elliptic equations
For a domain \Omega\subset\dR^N we consider the equation -\Delta u +
V(x)u = Q_n(x)\abs{u}^{p-2}u with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and
. Here and are bounded functions that are positive
in a region contained in and negative outside, and such that the sets
shrink to a point as . We show that if
is a nontrivial solution corresponding to , then the sequence
concentrates at with respect to the and certain
-norms. We also show that if the sets shrink to two points and
are ground state solutions, then they concentrate at one of these points
Existence of Solutions for a Wave Equation with Non-monotone Nonlinearity and a Small Parameter
We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to a semilinear wave equation with non-monotone nonlinearity involving a small parameter. Our results are based on the analysis of a an operator that characterizes the projection onto the kernel of the wave operator subject to periodic-Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such a kernel is infinite dimensional which makes standard compactness arguments inapplicable
