On a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a localizing effect

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation associated to a singular potential of the form $a|u|^{-(1-m)}u+bu,$ for some $m\in(0,1),$ on a possible unbounded domain. We use some suitable energy methods to prove that if $\mathrm{Re}(a)+\mathrm{Im}(a)>0$ and if the initial and right hand side data have compact support then any possible solution must also have a compact support for any $t>0.$ This property contrasts with the behavior of solutions associated to regular potentials $(m\ge1).$ Related results are proved also for the associated stationary problem and for self-similar solution on the whole space and potential $a|u|^{-(1-m)}u.$ The existence of solutions is obtained by some compactness methods under additional conditions

Existence of weak solutions to some stationary Schrödinger equations with singular nonlinearity

We prove some existence (and sometimes also uniqueness) of weak solutions to some stationary equations associated to the complex Schrödinger operator under the presence of a singular nonlinear term. Among other new facts, with respect some previous results in the literature for such type of nonlinear potential terms, we include the case in which the spatial domain is possibly unbounded (something which is connected with some previous localization results by the authors), the presence of possible non-local terms at the equation, the case of boundary conditions different to the Dirichlet ones and, finally, the proof of the existence of solutions when the right-hand side term of the equation is beyond the usual L2-spac

New applications of monotonicity methods to a class of non-monotone parabolic quasilinear sub-homogeneous problems

The main goal of this paper is to show how some monotonicity methods related with the subdifferential of suitable convex functions and its extensions as m-accretive operators in Banach spaces lead to new and unexpected results showing, for instance, the continuous and monotone dependence of solutions with the respect to the data (and coefficients) of the problem. In this way, this paper offers `a common roof' to several methods and results concerning monotone and non-monotone frameworks. Besides to present here some new results, this paper offers also a peculiar survey to some topics which attracted the attention of many specialists in elliptic and parabolic nonlinear partial differential equations in the last years under the important influence of Haim Brezis. To be more precise, the model problem under consideration concerns to positive solutions of a general class of doubly nonlinear diffusion parabolic equations with some sub-homogeneous forcing terms.Comment: 27 page

Finite time extinction for a critically damped Schrödinger equation with a sublinear nonlinearity

This paper completes some previous studies by several authors on the finite time extinction for nonlinear Schrödinger equation when the nonlinear damping term corresponds to the limit cases of some "saturating non-Kerr law" $F(|u|^2)u=\frac{a}{\varepsilon+(|u|^2)^\alpha}u,$ with $a\in\mathbb{C},$ $\varepsilon\geqslant0,$ $2\alpha=(1-m)$ and $m\in[0,1).$ Here we consider the sublinear case $00 \text{ and } 2\sqrt m\mathrm{Im}(z)=(1-m)\mathrm{Re}(z)\big\}.$ Among other things, we know that this damping coefficient is critical, for instance, in order to obtain the monotonicity of the associated operator (see the paper by Liskevich and Perel'muter [16] and the more recent study by Cialdea and Maz'ya [14]). The finite time extinction of solutions is proved by a suitable energy method after obtaining appropiate a priori estimates. Most of the results apply to non-necessarily bounded spatial domains

Finite time extinction for the strongly damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation in bounded domains

We prove the \textit{finite time extinction property} $(u(t)\equiv 0$ on $\Omega$ for any $t\ge T_\star,$ for some $T_\star>0)$ for solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger problem \vi u_t+\Delta u+a|u|^{-(1-m)}u=f(t,x), on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N,$ $\mathbb{N}\le 3,$ $a\in\mathbb{C}$ with $\mathrm{Im}(a)>0$ (the damping case) and under the crucial assumptions $0<m<1$ and the dominating condition $2\sqrt m\,\mathrm{Im}(a)\ge(1-m)|\mathrm{Re}(a)|.$ We use an energy method as well as several a priori estimates to prove the main conclusion. The presence of the non-Lipschitz nonlinear term in the equation introduces a lack of regularity of the solution requiring a study of the existence and uniqueness of solutions satisfying the equation in some different senses according to the regularity assumed on the data

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.
