THE OPTIMAL LARGE TIME BEHAVIOR OF3D QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR DAMPING

We are concerned with the large-time behavior of 3D quasilinear hyperbolic equations with nonlinear damping.The main novelty of this paper is two-fold.First,we prove the optimal decay rates of the second and third order spatial derivatives of the solution,which are the same as those of the heat equation,and in particular,are faster than ones of previous related works.Second,for well-chosen initial data,we also show that the lower optimal L^(2) convergence rate of the k(∈[0,3])-order spatial derivatives of the solution is(1+t)^(-(2+2k)/4).Therefore,our decay rates are optimal in this sense.The proofs are based on the Fourier splitting method,low-frequency and high-frequency decomposition,and delicate energy estimates.

Ground states for asymptotically periodic quasilinear Schrdinger equations with critical growth

For a class of asymptotically periodic quasilinear Schr？dinger equations with critical growth the existence of ground states is proved.First applying a change of variables the quasilinear Schr？dinger equations are reduced to semilinear Schr？dinger equations in which the corresponding functional is well defined in H1 RN .Moreover there is a one-to-one correspondence between ground states of the semilinear Schr？dinger equations and the quasilinear Schr？dinger equations.Then the mountain-pass theorem is used to find nontrivial solutions for the semilinear Schr？dinger equations. Finally under certain monotonicity conditions using the Nehari manifold method and the concentration compactness principle the nontrivial solutions are found to be exactly the same as the ground states of the semilinear Schr？dinger equations.

Standing Waves for Quasilinear Schrödinger Equations with Indefinite Nonlinearity

In this article, we consider quasilinear Schrödinger equations of the form Such equations have been derived as models of several physical phenomena. The nonlinearity here corresponds to the superfluid film equation in plasma physics. Unlike all known results in the literature, the nonlinearity is allowed to be indefinite. It is very interesting from physical and mathematical viewpoint. By mountain pass theorem and some special techniques, we prove the existence of solutions for the quasilinear Schrödinger equations with indefinite nonlinearity. This indefinite problem had never been considered so far. So our main results can be regarded as complementary work in the literature.
