Title: Trend to Equilibrium for Flows With Random Diffusion
Abstract Motivated by the possibility of noise to cure equations of finite-time blowup, the recent work [ 90] by the second and third named authors showed that with quantifiable high probability, random diffusion restores global existence for a large class of active scalar equations in arbitrary dimension with possibly singular velocity fields. This class includes Hamiltonian flows, such as the SQG equation and its generalizations, and gradient flows, such as the Patlak–Keller–Segel equation. A question left open is the asymptotic behavior of the solutions, in particular, whether they converge to a steady state. We answer this question by showing that the solutions from [ 90] in the periodic setting converge in Gevrey norm exponentially fast to the uniform distribution as time $$t\rightarrow \infty $$.  more » « less

    We derive new kinetic and a porous medium equations from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with random potentials. The kinetic equation has a very similar form compared to the four-wave turbulence kinetic equation in the wave turbulence theory. Moreover, we construct a class of self-similar solutions for the porous medium equation. These solutions spread with time, and this fact answers the “weak turbulence” question for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with random potentials. We also derive Ohm’s law for the porous medium equation.

    Abstract The equation for a traveling wave on the boundary of a two‐dimensional droplet of an ideal fluid is derived by using the conformal variables technique for free surface waves. The free surface is subject only to the force of surface tension and the fluid flow is assumed to be potential. We use the canonical Hamiltonian variables discovered and map the lower complex plane to the interior of a fluid droplet conformally. The equations in this form have been originally discovered for infinitely deep water and later adapted to a bounded fluid domain.The new class of solutions satisfies a pseudodifferential equation similar to the Babenko equation for the Stokes wave. We illustrate with numerical solutions of the time‐dependent equations and observe the linear limit of traveling waves in this geometry.

    We consider the three-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Patlak-Keller-Segel equations (PKS) subject to ambient flows. Without the ambient fluid flow, the equation is super-critical in three-dimension and has finite-time blow-up solutions with arbitrarily small $L^1$-mass. In this study, we show that a family of time-dependent alternating shear flows, inspired by the clever ideas of Tarek Elgindi [39], can suppress the chemotactic blow-up in these systems.

    Subgradient methods comprise a fundamental class of nonsmooth optimization algorithms. Classical results show that certain subgradient methods converge sublinearly for general Lipschitz convex functions and converge linearly for convex functions that grow sharply away from solutions. Recent work has moreover extended these results to certain nonconvex problems. In this work, we seek to improve the complexity of these algorithms by asking the following question. Is it possible to design a superlinearly convergent subgradient method? We provide a positive answer to this question for a broad class of sharp semismooth functions. Funding: The research of D. Davis was supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences [Grant 2047637] and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

    We prove nonlinear asymptotic stability of a large class of monotonic shear flows among solutions of the 2D Euler equations in the channel $$\mathbb{T}\times[0,1]$$. More precisely, we consider shear flows $(b(y),0)$ given by a function $$b$$ which is Gevrey smooth, strictly increasing, and linear outside a compact subset of the interval $(0,1)$ (to avoid boundary contributions which are incompatible with inviscid damping). We also assume that the associated linearized operator satisfies a suitable spectral condition, which is needed to prove linear inviscid damping. Under these assumptions, we show that if $$u$$ is a solution which is a small and Gevrey smooth perturbation of such a shear flow $(b(y),0)$ at time $t=0$, then the velocity field $$u$$ converges strongly to a nearby shear flow as the time goes to infinity. This is the first nonlinear asymptotic stability result for Euler equations around general steady solutions for which the linearized flow cannot be explicitly solved.
