Abstract We showed earlier that the level set function of a monotonic advancing front is twice differentiable everywhere with bounded second derivative and satisfies the equation classically. We show here that the second derivative is continuous if and only if the flow has a single singular time where it becomes extinct and the singular set consists of a closedC1manifold with cylindrical singularities. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Differentiability of Effective Fronts in the Continuous Setting in Two Dimensions
Abstract We study the effective front associated with first-order front propagations in two dimensions ($n=2$) in the periodic setting with continuous coefficients. Our main result says that that the boundary of the effective front is differentiable at every irrational point. Equivalently, the stable norm associated with a continuous $${\mathbb{Z}}^{2}$$-periodic Riemannian metric is differentiable at irrational points. This conclusion was obtained decades ago for smooth metrics [ 4, 6]. To the best of our knowledge, our result provides the first nontrivial property of the effective fronts in the continuous setting, which is the standard assumption in the literature of partial differential equations (PDE). Combining with the sufficiency result in [ 15], our result leads to a realization type conclusion: for continuous coefficients, a polygon could be an effective front if and only if it is centrally symmetric with rational vertices and nonempty interior.

Abstract In this paper, we prove Strichartz estimates for many body Schrödinger equations in the periodic setting, specifically on tori {\mathbb{T}^{d}}, where {d\geq 3}. The results hold for both rational and irrational tori, and for small interacting potentials in a certain sense. Our work is based on the standard Strichartz estimate for Schrödinger operators on periodic domains, as developed in [J. Bourgain and C. Demeter,The proof of the l^{2}decoupling conjecture,Ann. of Math. (2) 182 2015, 1, 351–389]. As a comparison, this result can be regarded as a periodic analogue of [Y. Hong,Strichartz estimates forN-body Schrödinger operators with small potential interactions,Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 37 2017, 10, 5355–5365] though we do not use the same perturbation method. We also note that the perturbation method fails due to the derivative loss property of the periodic Strichartz estimate.more » « less

null (Ed.)We investigate, both analytically and numerically, dispersive fractalisation and quantisation of solutions to periodic linear and nonlinear Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou systems. When subject to periodic boundary conditions and discontinuous initial conditions, e.g., a step function, both the linearised and nonlinear continuum models for FPUT exhibit fractal solution profiles at irrational times (as determined by the coefficients and the length of the interval) and quantised profiles (piecewise constant or perturbations thereof) at rational times. We observe a similar effect in the linearised FPUT chain at times t where these models have validity, namely t = O( h −2 ), where h is proportional to the intermass spacing or, equivalently, the reciprocal of the number of masses. For nonlinear periodic FPUT systems, our numerical results suggest a somewhat similar behaviour in the presence of small nonlinearities, which disappears as the nonlinear force increases in magnitude. However, these phenomena are manifested on very long time intervals, posing a severe challenge for numerical integration as the number of masses increases. Even with the high-order splitting methods used here, our numerical investigations are limited to nonlinear FPUT chains with a smaller number of masses than would be needed to resolve this question unambiguously.more » « less

Abstract Loewner driving functions encode simple curves in 2D simply connected domains by real-valued functions. We prove that the Loewner driving function of a $$C^{1,\beta }$$ curve (differentiable parametrization with $$\beta$$-Hölder continuous derivative) is in the class $$C^{1,\beta -1/2}$$ if $$1/2<\beta \leq 1$$, and in the class $$C^{0,\beta + 1/2}$$ if $$0 \leq \beta \leq 1/2$$. This is the converse of a result of Carto Wong [26] and is optimal. We also introduce the Loewner energy of a rooted planar loop and use our regularity result to show the independence of this energy from the basepoint.more » « less

Abstract Locally resonant materials allow for wave propagation control in the subwavelength regime. Even though these materials do not need periodicity, they are usually designed as periodic systems since this allows for the application of the Bloch theorem and analysis of the entire system based on a single unit cell. However, geometries that are invariant to translation result in equations of motion with periodic coefficients only if we assume plane wave propagation. When wave fronts are cylindrical or spherical, a system realized through tessellation of a unit cell does not result in periodic coefficients and the Bloch theorem cannot be applied. Therefore, most studies of periodic locally resonant systems are limited to plane wave propagation. In this article, we address this limitation by introducing a locally resonant effective phononic crystal composed of a radially varying matrix with attached torsional resonators. This material is not geometrically periodic but exhibits effective periodicity, i.e., its equations of motion are invariant to radial translations, allowing the Bloch theorem to be applied to radially propagating torsional waves. We show that this material can be analyzed under the already developed framework for metamaterials. To show the importance of using an effectively periodic system, we compare its behavior to a system that is not effectively periodic but has geometric periodicity. We show considerable differences in transmission as well as in the negative effective properties of these two systems. Locally resonant effective phononic crystals open possibilities for subwavelength elastic wave control in the near field of sources.more » « less
