Existence of quasilinear relaxation shock profiles

چکیده
We establish existence with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman– Enskog approximation of small-amplitude quasilinear relaxation shocks in the general case that the profile ODE may become degenerate. Our method of analysis follows the general approach used by Métivier and Zumbrun in the semilinear case, based on Chapman–Enskog expansion and the macro–micro decomposition of Liu and Yu. In the quasilinear case, however, we find it necessary to apply a parameter-dependent Nash-Moser iteration to close the analysis, whereas, in the semilinear case, a simple contraction-mapping argument sufficed.

Nash–Moser iteration and singular perturbations
We present a simple and easy-to-use Nash–Moser iteration theorem tailored for singular perturbation problems admitting a formal asymptotic expansion or other family of approximate solutions depending on a parameter ε → 0. The novel feature is to allow loss of powers of ε as well as the usual loss of derivatives in the solution operator for the associated linearized problem. We indicate the util...
متن کاملExistence of semilinear relaxation shocks
We establish existence with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman– Enskog approximation of small-amplitude shock profiles of a class of semilinear relaxation systems including discrete velocity models obtained from Boltzmann and other kinetic equations. Our method of analysis is based on the macro–micro decomposition introduced by Liu and Yu for the study of Boltzmann profiles, but...
متن کاملExistence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system
In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...
متن کاملON QUASILINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS INVOLVING MULTIPLE CRITICAL EXPONENTS
In this paper, we consider the existence of a non-trivial weaksolution to a quasilinear elliptic system involving critical Hardyexponents. The main issue of the paper is to understand thebehavior of these Palais-Smale sequences. Indeed, the principaldifficulty here is that there is an asymptotic competition betweenthe energy functional carried by the critical nonlinearities. Thenby the variatio...
