Title: Mild Ill-Posedness in L ∞ for 2D Resistive MHD Equations Near a Background Magnetic Field
Abstract The global well-posedness on the 2D resistive MHD equations without kinematic dissipation remains an outstanding open problem. This is a critical problem. Any $L^p$-norm of the vorticity $$\omega $$ with $$1\le p<\infty $$ has been shown to be bounded globally (in time), but whether the $$L^\infty $$-norm of $$\omega $$ is globally bounded remains elusive. The global boundedness of $$\|\omega \|_{L^\infty }$$ yields the resolution of the aforementioned open problem. This paper examines the $$L^\infty $$-norm of $$\omega $$ from a different perspective. We construct a sequence of initial data near a special steady state to show that the $$L^\infty $$-norm of $$\omega $$ is actually mildly ill-posed.  more » « less

    Abstract Let $$1\leq p \leq q <\infty $$ and let $$w \in \mathbb{C}$$. Weissler conjectured that the Hermite operator $$e^{w\Delta }$$ is bounded as an operator from $$L^{p}$$ to $$L^{q}$$ on the Hamming cube $$\{-1,1\}^{n}$$ with the norm bound independent of $$n$$ if and only if $$\begin{align*} |p-2-e^{2w}(q-2)|\leq p-|e^{2w}|q. \end{align*}$$It was proved in [ 1], [ 2], and [ 17] in all cases except $$2<p\leq q <3$$ and $$3/2<p\leq q <2$$, which stood open until now. The goal of this paper is to give a full proof of Weissler’s conjecture in the case $p=q$. Several applications will be presented.

  2. Let $$\Omega\subset\re^{n+1}$$, $$n\ge 2$$, be a 1-sided chord-arc domain, that is, a domain which satisfies interior Corkscrew and Harnack Chain conditions (these are respectively scale-invariant/quantitative versions of the openness and path-connectedness), and whose boundary $$\partial\Omega$$ is $$n$$-dimensional Ahlfors regular. Consider $$L_0$$ and $$L$$ two real symmetric divergence form elliptic operators and let $$\omega_{L_0}$$, $$\omega_L$$ be the associated elliptic measures. We show that if $$\omega_{L_0}\in A_\infty(\sigma)$$, where $$\sigma=H^n\lfloor_{\partial\Omega}$$, and $$L$$ is a perturbation of $$L_0$$ (in the sense that the discrepancy between $$L_0$$ and $$L$$ satisfies certain Carleson measure condition), then $$\omega_L\in A_\infty(\sigma)$$. Moreover, if $$L$$ is a sufficiently small perturbation of $$L_0$$, then one can preserve the reverse H√∂lder classes, that is, if for some $$1<\infty$$, one has $$\omega_{L_0}\in RH_p(\sigma)$$ then $$\omega_{L}\in RH_p(\sigma)$$. Equivalently, if the Dirichlet problem with data in $$L^{p'}(\sigma)$$ is solvable for $$L_0$$ then so it is for $$L$$. These results can be seen as extensions of the perturbation theorems obtained by Dahlberg, Fefferman-Kenig-Pipher, and Milakis-Pipher-Toro in more benign settings. As a consequence of our methods we can show that for any perturbation of the Laplacian (or, more in general, of any elliptic symmetric operator with Lipschitz coefficients satisfying certain Carleson condition) if its elliptic measure belongs to $$A_\infty(\sigma)$$ then necessarily $$\Omega$$ is in fact an NTA domain (and hence chord-arc) and therefore its boundary is uniformly rectifiable.

  3. Abstract We consider Lane–Emden ground states with polytropic index 0 ≤ q - 1 ≤ 1 {0\leq q-1\leq 1} , that is, minimizers of the Dirichlet integral among L q {L^{q}} -normalized functions.Our main result is a sharp lower bound on the L 2 {L^{2}} -norm of the normal derivative in terms of the energy, which implies a corresponding isoperimetric inequality.Our bound holds for arbitrary bounded open Lipschitz sets Ω ⊂ ℝ d {\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}} , without assuming convexity.

  4. This paper investigates the Robinson graphon completion/recovery problem within the class of $L^p$-graphons, focusing on the range $$5 5$, any $L^p$-graphon $$w$$ can be approximated by a Robinson graphon, with error of the approximation bounded in terms of $$\Lambda(w)$$. When viewing $$w$$ as a noisy version of a Robinson graphon, our method provides a concrete recipe for recovering a cut-norm approximation of a noiseless $$w$$. Given that any symmetric matrix is a special type of graphon, our results can be applicable to symmetric matrices of any size. Our work extends and improves previous results, where a similar question for the special case of $$L^\infty$$-graphons was answered.

  5. The purpose of this paper is to show how the combination of the well-known results for convergence to equilibrium and conditional regularity, in addition to a short-time existence result, lead to a quick proof of the existence of global smooth solutions for the non cutoff Boltzmann equation when the initial data is close to equilibrium. We include a short-time existence result for polynomially-weighted $$ L^\infty $$ initial data. From this, we deduce that if the initial data is sufficiently close to a Maxwellian in this norm, then a smooth solution exists globally in time.
