Failure of the Hopf-Oleinik Lemma for a Linear Elliptic Problem with Singular Convection of Non-Negative Divergence

L. Boccardo, J.I. Díaz, and D. Gómez-Castro

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2024

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

In this article we study the existence, uniqueness, and integrability of solutions to the Dirichlet problem $-\hbox{div}( M(x) ∇u ) = -\hbox{div} (E(x) u) + f$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}N̂$ with $N \ge 3$. We are particularly interested in singular $E$ with $\hbox{div} E \ge 0$. We start by recalling known existence results when $|E| ∈LN̂$ that do not rely on the sign of $\hbox{div} E $. Then, under the assumption that $\hbox{div} E \ge 0$ distributionally, we extend the existence theory to $|E| ∈L\^2$. For the uniqueness, we prove a comparison principle in this setting. Lastly, we discuss the particular cases of $E$ singular at one point as $Ax /|x|\^2$, or towards the boundary as $\hbox{div} E ∼\hbox{dist}(x, ∂Ω)\^{-2-α}$. In these cases the singularity of $E$ leads to $u$ vanishing to a certain order. In particular, this shows that the Hopf-Oleinik lemma, i.e. $∂u / ∂n < 0$, fails in the presence of such singular drift terms $E$.

Asymptotic simplification of Aggregation-Diffusion equations towards the heat kernel

José A. Carrillo, D. Gómez-Castro, Yao Yao, and Chongchun Zeng

Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2023

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv

We give sharp conditions for the large time asymptotic simplification of aggregation-diffusion equations with linear diffusion. As soon as the interaction potential is bounded and its first and second derivatives decay fast enough at infinity, then the linear diffusion overcomes its effect, either attractive or repulsive, for large times independently of the initial data, and solutions behave like the fundamental solution of the heat equation with some rate. The potential W(x) ∼\log |x| for |x| ≫1 appears as the natural limiting case when the intermediate asymptotics change. In order to obtain such a result, we produce uniform-in-time estimates in a suitable rescaled change of variables for the entropy, the second moment, Sobolev norms and the C^αregularity with a novel approach for this family of equations using modulus of continuity techniques.

Singular boundary behaviour and large solutions for fractional elliptic equations

Nicola Abatangelo, D. Gómez-Castro, and J. L. Vázquez

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2023

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We show that the boundary behaviour of solutions to nonlocal fractional equations posed in bounded domains strongly differs from the one of solutions to elliptic problems modelled upon the Laplace-Poisson equation with zero boundary data. In this classical case it is known that, at least in a suitable weak sense, solutions of non-homogeneous Dirichlet problem are unique and tend to zero at the boundary. Limits of these solutions then produce solutions of some non-homogeneous Dirichlet problem as the interior data concentrate suitably to the boundary. Here, we show that such results are false for equations driven by a wide class of nonlocal fractional operators, extending previous findings for some models of the fractional Laplacian operator. Actually, different blow-up phenomena may occur at the boundary of the domain. We describe such explosive behaviours and obtain precise quantitative estimates depending on simple parameters of the nonlocal pperators. Our unifying technique is based on a careful study of the inverse operator in terms of the corresponding Green function.

Singular solutions for fractional parabolic boundary value problems

Hardy Chan, David Gómez-Castro, and Juan Luis Vázquez

Revista de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Fı́sicas y Naturales. Serie A. Matemáticas, 2022

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

The standard problem for the classical heat equation posed in a bounded domain }}\backslashOmega }}of }}{\backslashmathbb {R}}\^n}}is the initial and boundary value problem. If the Laplace operator is replaced by a version of the fractional Laplacian, the initial and boundary value problem can still be solved on the condition that the non-zero boundary data must be singular, i.e., the solution u(t, x) blows up as x approaches }}\backslashpartial \backslashOmega }}in a definite way. In this paper we construct a theory of existence and uniqueness of solutions of the parabolic problem with singular data taken in a very precise sense, and also admitting initial data and a forcing term. When the boundary data are zero we recover the standard fractional heat semigroup. A general class of integro-differential operators may replace the classical fractional Laplacian operators, thus enlarging the scope of the work. As further results on the spectral theory of the fractional heat semigroup, we show that a one-sided Weyl-type law holds in the general class, which was previously known for the restricted and spectral fractional Laplacians, but is new for the censored (or regional) fractional Laplacian. This yields bounds on the fractional heat kernel.

A fast regularisation of a Newtonian vortex equation

José A. Carrillo, D. Gómez-Castro, and J. L. Vázquez

Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincaré C, Analyse non linéaire, 2022

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We consider equations of the form u_t = ∇⋅( γ(u) ∇\mathrmN(u)), where \mathrmN is the Newtonian potential (inverse of the Laplacian) posed in the whole space \mathbb R^d, and γ(u) is the mobility. For linear mobility, γ(u)=u, the equation and some variations have been proposed as a model for superconductivity or superfluidity. In that case the theory leads to uniqueness of bounded weak solutions having the property of compact space support, and in particular there is a special solution in the form of a disk vortex of constant intensity in space u=c_1t^-1 supported in a ball that spreads in time like c_2t^1/d, thus showing a discontinuous leading front. In this paper we propose the model with sublinear mobility γ(u)=u^α, with 0<α<1, and prove that nonnegative solutions recover positivity everywhere, and moreover display a fat tail at infinity. The model acts in many ways as a regularization of the previous one. In particular, we find that the equivalent of the previous vortex is an explicit self-similar solution decaying in time like u=O(t^-1/α) with a space tail with size u=O(|x|^- d/(1-α)). We restrict the analysis to radial solutions and construct solutions by the method of characteristics. We introduce the mass function, which solves an unusual variation of Burger’s equation, and plays an important role in the analysis. We show well-posedness in the sense of viscosity solutions. We also construct numerical finite-difference convergent schemes.

Vortex formation for a non-local interaction model with Newtonian repulsion and superlinear mobility

Jose A. Carrillo, David Gómez-Castro, and Juan Luis Vázquez

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2022

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We consider density solutions for gradient flow equations of the form u_t = ∇⋅( γ(u) ∇\mathrm N(u)), where \mathrm N is the Newtonian repulsive potential in the whole space \mathbb R^d with the nonlinear convex mobility γ(u)=u^α, and α>1. We show that solutions corresponding to compactly supported initial data remain compactly supported for all times leading to moving free boundaries as in the linear mobility case γ(u)=u. For linear mobility it was shown that there is a special solution in the form of a disk vortex of constant intensity in space u=c_1t^-1 supported in a ball that spreads in time like c_2t^1/d, thus showing a discontinuous leading front or shock. Our present results are in sharp contrast with the case of concave mobilities of the form γ(u)=u^α, with 0<α<1 studied in [9]. There, we developed a well-posedness theory of viscosity solutions that are positive everywhere and moreover display a fat tail at infinity. Here, we also develop a well-posedness theory of viscosity solutions that in the radial case leads to a very detail analysis allowing us to show a waiting time phenomena. This is a typical behavior for nonlinear degenerate diffusion equations such as the porous medium equation. We will also construct explicit self-similar solutions exhibiting similar vortex-like behaviour characterizing the long time asymptotics of general radial solutions under certain assumptions. Convergent numerical schemes based on the viscosity solution theory are proposed analysing their rate of convergence. We complement our analytical results with numerical simulations ilustrating the proven results and showcasing some open problems.

Infinite-time concentration in aggregation–diffusion equations with a given potential

J. A. Carrillo, D. Gómez-Castro, and J. L. Vázquez

Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2022

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

Typically, aggregation-diffusion is modeled by parabolic equations that combine linear or nonlinear diffusion with a Fokker-Planck convection term. Under very general suitable assumptions, we prove that radial solutions of the evolution process converge asymptotically in time towards a stationary state representing the balance between the two effects. Our parabolic system is the gradient flow of an energy functional, and in fact we show that the stationary states are minimizers of a relaxed energy. Here, we study radial solutions of an aggregation-diffusion model that combines nonlinear fast diffusion with a convection term driven by the gradient of a potential, both in balls and the whole space. We show that, depending on the exponent of fast diffusion and the potential, the steady state is given by the sum of an explicit integrable function, plus a Dirac delta at the origin containing the rest of the mass of the initial datum. Furthermore, it is a global minimizer of the relaxed energy. This splitting phenomenon is an uncommon example of blow-up in infinite time.

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We introduce three representation formulas for the fractional p -Laplace operator in the whole range of parameters 0 < s < 1 and 1 < p < ∞. Note that for p ≠ 2 this a nonlinear operator. The first representation is based on a splitting procedure that combines a renormalized nonlinearity with the linear heat semigroup. The second adapts the nonlinearity to the Caffarelli-Silvestre linear extension technique. The third one is the corresponding nonlinear version of the Balakrishnan formula. We also discuss the correct choice of the constant of the fractional p -Laplace operator in order to have continuous dependence as p → 2 and s → 0 + , 1 − .

Characterisation of homogeneous fractional Sobolev spaces

Our aim is to characterize the homogeneous fractional Sobolev–Slobodeckiĭ spaces $\mathcal D^s,p (\mathbb R^n) D s , p ( R n ) and their embeddings, for s ∈(0,1] s ∈ ( 0 , 1 ] and p\ge 1 p ≥ 1 . They are defined as the completion of the set of smooth and compactly supported test functions with respect to the Gagliardo–Slobodeckiĭ seminorms. For s p < n s p < n or s = p = n = 1 s = p = n = 1 we show that \mathcal D^s,p(\mathbb R^n) D s , p ( R n ) is isomorphic to a suitable function space, whereas for s p \ge n$ s p ≥ n it is isomorphic to a space of equivalence classes of functions, differing by an additive constant. As one of our main tools, we present a Morrey–Campanato inequality where the Gagliardo–Slobodeckiĭ seminorm controls from above a suitable Campanato seminorm.

Steiner symmetrization for anisotropic quasilinear equations via partial discretization

In this paper we obtain comparison results for the quasilinear equation -\Delta_p,x u - u_yy = f with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions by Steiner rearrangement in variable x, thus solving a long open problem. In fact, we study a broader class of anisotropic problems. Our approach is based on a finite-differences discretization in y, and the proof of a comparison principle for the discrete version of the auxiliary problem A U - U_yy \le \int_0^s f, where AU = -(-nω^1/ns^1/n’ U_ss)^p-1. We show that this operator is T-accretive in L^∞. We extend our results for -\Delta_p,x to general operators of the form -\textdiv (a(|\nabla_x u|) \nabla_x u) where a is non-decreasing and behaves like | ⋅|^p-2 at infinity.

Blow-up phenomena in nonlocal eigenvalue problems: When theories of L^1 and L^2 meet

Hardy Chan, D. Gómez-Castro, and J. L. Vázquez

Journal of Functional Analysis, 2021

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We develop a linear theory of very weak solutions for nonlocal eigenvalue problems \mathcal L u = λu + f involving integro-differential operators posed in bounded domains with homogeneous Dirichlet exterior condition, with and without singular boundary data. We consider mild hypotheses on the Green’s function and the standard eigenbasis of the operator. The main examples in mind are the fractional Laplacian operators. Without singular boundary datum and when λis not an eigenvalue of the operator, we construct an L^2-projected theory of solutions, which we extend to the optimal space of data for the operator \mathcal L. We present a Fredholm alternative as λtends to the eigenspace and characterise the possible blow-up limit. The main new ingredient is the transfer of orthogonality to the test function. We then extend the results to singular boundary data and study the so-called large solutions, which blow up at the boundary. For that problem we show that, for any regular value λ, there exist "large eigenfunctions" that are singular on the boundary and regular inside. We are also able to present a Fredholm alternative in this setting, as λapproaches the values of the spectrum. We also obtain a maximum principle for weighted L^1 solutions when the operator is L^2-positive. It yields a global blow-up phenomenon as the first eigenvalue is approached from below. Finally, we recover the classical Dirichlet problem as the fractional exponent approaches one under mild assumptions on the Green’s functions. Thus "large eigenfunctions" represent a purely nonlocal phenomenon.

Estimates on translations and Taylor expansions in fractional Sobolev spaces

Nonlinear Anal., 2020

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

In this paper we study how the (normalised) Gagliardo semi-norms [u]_W^s,p (\mathbbR^n) control translations. In particular, we prove that \|u(⋅+ y) - u \|_L^p (\mathbbR^n) \le C [ u ] _W^s,p (\mathbbR^n) |y|^s for n\geq1, s ∈[0,1] and p ∈[1,+∞], where C depends only on n. We then obtain a corresponding higher-order version of this result: we get fractional rates of the error term in the Taylor expansion. We also present relevant implications of our two results. First, we obtain a direct proof of several compact embedding of W^s,p(\mathbbR^n) where the Fréchet-Kolmogorov Theorem is applied with known rates. We also derive fractional rates of convergence of the convolution of a function with suitable mollifiers. Thirdly, we obtain fractional rates of convergence of finite-difference discretizations for W^s,p (\mathbbR^n)).

Abstract: A strange term arising in the homogenization of elliptic (and parabolic) equations with dynamic boundary conditions given on some boundary parts of critical size is considered. A problem with dynamic boundary conditions given on the union of some boundary subsets of critical size arranged ε-periodically along the boundary and with homogeneous Neumann conditions given on the rest of the boundary is studied. It is proved that the homogenized boundary condition is a Robin-type containing a nonlocal term depending on the trace of the solution u(x, t) on the boundary ∂Ω.

The fractional Schrödinger equation with singular potential and measure data

Discret. Contin. Dyn. Syst. - A, 2019

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

We consider the steady fractional Schrödinger equation L u + V u = f posed on a bounded domain Ω; L is an integro-differential operator, like the usual versions of the fractional Laplacian (-∆)^s; V\ge 0 is a potential with possible singularities, and the right-hand side are integrable functions or Radon measures. We reformulate the problem via the Green function of (-∆)^s and prove well-posedness for functions as data.If V is bounded or mildly singular a unique solution of (-∆)^s u + V u = μexists for every Borel measure μ. On the other hand, when V is allowed to be more singular, but only on a finite set of points, a solution of (-∆)^s u + V u = \delta_x, where \delta_x is the Dirac measure at x, exists if and only if h(y) = V(y) |x - y|^-(n+2s) is integrable on some small ball around x. We prove that the set Z = {x ∈Ω: \textrmno solution of (-∆)^s u + Vu = \delta_x \textrm exists} is relevant in the following sense: a solution of (-∆)^s u + V u = μexists if and only if |μ| (Z) = 0. Furthermore, Z is the set points where the strong maximum principle fails, in the sense that for any bounded f the solution of (-∆)^s u + Vu = f vanishes on Z.

A nonlocal memory strange term arising in the critical scale homogenisation of a diffusion equation with a dynamic boundary condition

Abs Published version arXiv Bib

Our main interest in this paper is the study of homogenised limit of a parabolic equation with a nonlinear dynamic boundary condition of the micro-scale model set on a domain with periodically place particles. We focus on the case of particles (or holes) of critical diameter with respect to the period of the structure. Our main result proves the weak convergence of the sequence of solutions of the original problem to the solution of a reaction-diffusion parabolic problem containing a ‘strange term’. The novelty of our result is that this term is a nonlocal memory solving an ODE. We prove that the resulting system satisfies a comparison principle.

On the well-posedness of a multiscale mathematical model for Lithium-ion batteries

We consider the mathematical treatment of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations based on a model, proposed in 1972 by J. Newman, in which the coupling between the Lithium concentration, the phase potentials and temperature in the electrodes and the electrolyte of a Lithium battery cell is considered. After introducing some functional spaces well-adapted to our framework, we obtain some rigorous results showing the well-posedness of the system, first for some short time and then, by considering some hypothesis on the nonlinearities, globally in time. As far as we know, this is the first result in the literature proving existence in time of the full Newman model, which follows previous results by the third author in 2016 regarding a simplified case.

Classification of homogenized limits of diffusion problems with spatially dependent reaction over critical-size particles

Abs Published version (DOI) Bib

\textcopyright 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group The main goal of this paper is to characterize the change of structural behavior (i.e. the appearance of the so-called ‘strange terms’) arising in the homogenization process when applied to distributed microscopic chemical reactions taking place on fixed-bed nanoreactors, at the microscopic level, on the boundary of the particles of critical size. The presence of non-homogeneous distributed functions (Formula presented.) of the reaction kinetics may be originated by many different reasons. The case of quick oscillation is often due to own structure of the fixed bed reactor since the flux of the fluid acts on each particle in a non-homogeneous way. In some other cases, the non-homogeneous distributed functions (Formula presented.) of the reaction kinetics is artificially provoked in order to control a certain desired global effect. Our main result gives a complete classification of the strange terms according the assumed periodicity on the distributed functions (Formula presented.) of the reaction kinetic.

Homogenization of Boundary Value Problems in Plane Domains with Frequently Alternating Type of Nonlinear Boundary Conditions: Critical Case

Abs Published version (DOI) Bib

\textcopyright 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. In the present paper we consider a boundary homogenization problem for the Poisson’s equation in a bounded domain and with a part of the boundary conditions of highly oscillating type (alternating between homogeneous Neumman condition and a nonlinear Robin type condition involving a small parameter). Our main goal in this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior as ε→ 0 of the solution to such a problem in the case when the length of the boundary part, on which the Robin condition is specified, and the coefficient, contained in this condition, take so-called critical values. We show that in this case the character of the nonlinearity changes in the limit problem. The boundary homogenization problems were investigate for example in [1, 2, 4]. For the first time the effect of the nonlinearity character change via homogenization was noted for the first time in [5]. In that paper an effective model was constructed for the boundary value problem for the Poisson’s equation in the bounded domain that is perforated by the balls of critical radius, when the space dimension equals to 3. In the last decade a lot of works appeared, e.g., [6–10], in which this effect was studied for different geometries of perforated domains and for different differential operators. We note that in [6–10] only perforations by balls were considered. In papers [11, 12] the case of domains perforated by an arbitrary shape sets in the critical case was studied.

Motivated mainly by the localization over an open bounded set Ωof \mathbb R^n of solutions of the Schrödinger equations, we consider the Schrödinger equation over Ωwith a very singular potential V(x) \ge C d (x, ∂Ω)^-r with r\ge 2 and a convective flow \vec U. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a very weak solution of the equation, when the right hand side datum f(x) is in L^1 (Ω, d(⋅, ∂Ω)), even if no boundary condition is a priori prescribed. We prove that, in fact, the solution necessarily satisfies (in a suitable way) the Dirichlet condition u = 0 on ∂Ω. These results improve some of the results of the previous paper by the authors in collaboration with Roger Temam. In addition, we prove some new results dealing with the m-accretivity in L^1 (Ω, d(⋅, ∂Ω)^ α), where α∈[0,1], of the associated operator, the corresponding parabolic problem and the study of the complex evolution Schrödinger equation in \mathbb R^n.

Linear diffusion with singular absorption potential and/or unbounded convective flow: The weighted space approach

J. I. Díaz, D. Gómez-Castro, J. M. Rakotoson, and R. Temam

Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems, 2018

Abs Published version (DOI) arXiv Bib

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of very weak solutions to linear diffusion equations involving a singular absorption potential and/or an unbounded convective flow on a bounded open set of }\backslashmathbb R\^N}. In most of the paper we consider homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions but we prove that when the potential function grows faster than the distance to the boundary to the power -2 then no boundary condition is required to get the uniqueness of very weak solutions. This result is new in the literature and must be distinguished from other previous results in which such uniqueness of solutions without any boundary condition was proved for degenerate diffusion operators (which is not our case). Our approach, based on the treatment on some distance to the boundary weighted spaces, uses a suitable regularity of the solution of the associated dual problem which is here established. We also consider the delicate question of the differentiability of the very weak solution and prove that some suitable additional hypothesis on the data is required since otherwise the gradient of the solution may not be integrable on the domain.

Visibility to discern local from nonlocal dynamic processes

Antonio Brú, D. Gómez-Castro, and J.C. Nuño

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2017

Abs Published version (DOI) Bib

We compare using visibility the usual Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class and a fractional Edward-Wilkinson (EWf) equation with correlated noise, which share the same kinetic roughening exponents. The KPZ universality class is described by an equation in terms of the usual derivatives, uncorrelated noise and therefore is intrinsically local. The second model includes fractional powers of the Laplace operator and correlated noise, both of which are nonlocal. From their scaling properties, one could be tempted to conclude that both dynamics belong to the same universality class, specifically, to the KPZ universality class. However, this is a wrong conclusion that calls the attention against the indiscriminate application of this approach in real systems without taking into consideration basic physical assumptions (e.g. locality). These examples reveal the necessity of finding new algorithms for detecting characteristics that remain unnoticed to classical scaling analysis, where only the two first moments of the interface distribution (mean and variance) are used to classify the dynamics. We show that visibility and, in particular, the kinetic roughening exponents of the visibility interface, are able to distinguish between these two dynamics which are confused by standard techniques.

Homogenization and Shape Differentiation of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

D. Gómez-Castro

Facultad de Matemáticas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2017

PhD Dissertation

Abs Published version arXiv

This thesis is divided into five chapters. The aim is the study of the effectiveness of a chemical as defined by R. Aris for semilinear elliptic equations. The first chapter focuses on homogenization on quasilinear diffusion-reaction problems in domains with small particles. The classical results are extend to less smooth nonlinearities, and more general shapes, specially new for the critical case. The second chapter deals with Steiner symmetrisation of semilinear elliptic and parabolic equations. The third chapter deals with shape differentiation, with smooth and non smooth nonlinearities. The fourth chapter deals with linear elliptic equations with a potential, }-\backslashDelta u + \backslashnabla u \backslashcdot b + V u}, where the potential, }V}, "blows up" near the boundary. This kind of equations appear as a result of the shape differentiation process, in the non-smooth case. The fifth chapter develops the second part of the thesis, and includes results obtained during 2017 visit to Prof. Brezis. We showed that the basis of eigenvalues of }-\backslashDelta} with Dirichlet boundary conditions is the unique basis to approximate functions in }H_0\^1} in }L\^2} in an optimal way.
