In this paper we are concerned with the existence of a weak solution to the initial boundary value problem for the equation ∂ t u=Δ(Δu) −3 . This problem arises in the mathematical modeling of the evolution of a crystal surface. Existence of a weak solution u with Δu≥0 is obtained via a suitable substitution. Our investigations reveal the close connection between this problem and the equation ∂ t ρ+ρ 2 Δ 2 ρ 3 =0 , another crystal surface model first proposed by H. Al Hajj Shehadeh, R. V. Kohn and J. Weare in [1].

It is well-known that in Banach spaces with finite cotype, the $R$ -bounded and $\gamma $ -bounded families of operators coincide. If in addition $X$ is a Banach lattice, then these notions can be expressed as square function estimates. It is also clear that $R$ -boundedness implies $\gamma $ -boundedness. In this note we show that all other possible inclusions fail. Furthermore, we will prove that $R$ -boundedness is stable under taking adjoints if and only if the underlying space is $K$ -convex.

We consider admissible weak solutions to the compressible Euler system with source terms, which include rotating shallow water system and the Euler system with damping as special examples. In the case of anti-symmetric sources such as rotations, for general piecewise Lipschitz initial densities and some suitably constructed initial momentum, we obtain infinitely many global admissible weak solutions. Furthermore, we construct a class of finite-states admissible weak solutions to the Euler system with anti-symmetric sources. Under the additional smallness assumption on the initial densities, we also obtain multiple global-in-time admissible weak solutions for more general sources including damping. The basic framework are based on the convex integration method developed by De~Lellis and Sz\'{e}kelyhidi \cite{dLSz1,dLSz2} for the Euler system. One of the main ingredients of this paper is the construction of specified localized plane wave perturbations which are compatible with a given source term.
