We prove the existence of solutions to the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation with low regularity data in function spaces based on the Wiener algebra and in pseudomeasure spaces. In any spatial dimension, we allow the data to have its antiderivative in the Wiener algebra. In one spatial dimension, we also allow data that are in a pseudomeasure space of negative order. In two spatial dimensions, we also allow data that are in a pseudomeasure space one derivative more regular than in the one-dimensional case. In the course of carrying out the existence arguments, we show a parabolic gain of regularity of the solutions as compared to the data. Subsequently, we show that the solutions are in fact analytic at any positive time in the interval of existence.

Remarks on the Stabilization of Large-Scale Growth in the 2D Kuramoto–Sivashinsky Equation
In this article, some elementary observations are made regarding the behavior of solutions to the two-dimensional curl-free Burgers equation which suggest the distinguished role played by the scalar divergence field in determining the dynamics of the solution. These observations inspire a new divergence-based regularity con- dition for the two-dimensional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation (KSE) that provides conceptual clarity to the nature of the potential blow-up mechanism for this system. The relation of this regularity criterion to the Ladyzhenskaya–Prodi–Serrin-type cri- terion for the KSE is also established, thus providing the basis for the development of an alternative framework of regularity criterion for this equation based solely on the low-mode behavior of its solutions. The article concludes by applying these ideas to identify a conceptually simple modification of KSE that yields globally regular solu- tions, as well as providing a straightforward verification of this regularity criterion to establish global regularity of solutions to the 2D Burgers–Sivashinsky equation. The proofs are direct, elementary, and concise.

This paper provides an asymptotic description of a solution to the Burgers-Hilbert equation in a neighborhood of a point where two shocks interact. The solution is obtained as the sum of a function with H2 regularity away from the shocks plus a corrector term having an asymptotic behavior like x ln x close to each shock. A key step in the analysis is the construction of piecewise smooth solutions with a single shock for a general class of initial data.more » « less

Abstract We propose and prove several regularity criteria for the 2D and 3D Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation, in both its scalar and vector forms. In particular, we examine integrability criteria for the regularity of solutions in terms of the scalar solution$$\phi $$ , the vector solution$$u\triangleq \nabla \phi $$ , as well as the divergence$$\text {div}(u)=\Delta \phi $$ , and each component ofuand$$\nabla u$$ . We also investigate these criteria computationally in the 2D case, and we include snapshots of solutions for several quantities of interest that arise in energy estimates.more » « less

We prove the existence and uniqueness of positive analytical solutions with positive initial data to the mean field equation (the Dyson equation) of the Dyson Brownian motion through the complex Burgers equation with a force term on the upper half complex plane. These solutions converge to a steady state given by Wigner’s semicircle law. A unique global weak solution with nonnegative initial data to the Dyson equation is obtained, and some explicit solutions are given by Wigner’s semicircle laws. We also construct a bi-Hamiltonian structure for the system of real and imaginary components of the complex Burgers equation (coupled Burgers system). We establish a kinetic formulation for the coupled Burgers system and prove the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions. The coupled Burgers system in Lagrangian variable naturally leads to two interacting particle systems, the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou model with nearest-neighbor interactions, and the Calogero–Moser model. These two particle systems yield the same Lagrangian dynamics in the continuum limit.more » « less

A nondispersive, conservative regularisation of the inviscid Burgers equation is proposed and studied. Inspired by a related regularisation of the shallow water system recently introduced by Clamond and Dutykh, the new regularisation provides a family of Galilean-invariant interpolants between the inviscid Burgers equation and the Hunter-Saxton equation. It admits weakly singular regularised shocks and cusped traveling-wave weak solutions. The breakdown of local smooth solutions is demonstrated, and the existence of two types of global weak solutions, conserving or dissipating an H1 energy, is established. Dissipative solutions satisfy an Oleinik inequality like entropy solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation. As the regularisation scale parameter tends to zero or infinity, limits of dissipative solutions are shown to satisfy the inviscid Burgers or Hunter-Saxton equation respectively, forced by an unknown remaining term.more » « less
