In this paper, we identify criteria that guarantees the nonlinear orbital stability of a given periodic traveling wave solution within the b-family Camassa-Holm equation. These periodic waves exist as 3-parameter families (up to spatial translations) of smooth traveling wave solu- tions, and their stability criteria are expressed in terms of Jacobians of the conserved quantities with respect to these parameters. The stability criteria utilizes a general Hamiltonian structure which exists for every b > 1, and hence applies outside of the completely integrable cases (b = 2 and b = 3).

Orbital stability of smooth solitary waves for the Degasperis-Procesi equation
The Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation is an integrable Camassa-Holm-type model which is an asymptotic approximation for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. This work establishes the orbital stability of localized smooth solitary waves to the DP equation on the real line, extending our previous work on their spectral stability [J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 142 (2020), pp. 298–314]. The main difficulty stems from the fact that the natural energy space is a subspace of L 3 L^3 , but the translation symmetry for the DP equation gives rise to a conserved quantity equivalent to the L 2 L^2 -norm, resulting in L 3 L^3 higher-order nonlinear terms in the augmented Hamiltonian. But the usual coercivity estimate is in terms of L 2 L^2 norm for DP equation, which cannot be used to control the L 3 L^3 higher order term directly. The remedy is to observe that, given a sufficiently smooth initial condition satisfying some mild constraint, the L ∞ L^\infty orbital norm of the perturbation is bounded above by a function of its L 2 L^2 orbital norm, yielding the higher order control and the orbital stability in the L 2 ∩ L ∞ L^2\cap L^\infty space.

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.more » « less

Abstract This work analyzes the forward and inverse scattering series for scalar waves based on the Helmholtz equation and the diffuse waves from the time-independent diffusion equation, which are important partial differential equations (PDEs) in various applications. Different from previous works, which study the radius of convergence for the forward and inverse scattering series, the stability, and the approximation error of the series under theLpnorms, we study these quantities under the SobolevHsnorm, which associates with a general class ofL2-based function spaces. TheHsnorm has a natural spectral bias based on its definition in the Fourier domain: the cases < 0 biases towards the lower frequencies, while the cases > 0 biases towards the higher frequencies. We compare the stability estimates using differentHsnorms for both the parameter and data domains and provide a theoretical justification for the frequency weighting techniques in practical inversion procedures. We also provide numerical inversion examples to demonstrate the differences in the inverse scattering radius of convergence under different metric spaces.more » « less

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.more » « less

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
