From a variational perspective, we derive a series of magnetization and quantum spin current systems coupled via an “s-d” potential term, including the Schrödinger--Landau--Lifshitz--Maxwell system, the Pauli--Landau--Lifshitz system, and the Schrödinger--Landau--Lifshitz system with successive simplifications. For the latter two systems, we propose using the time splitting spectral method for the quantum spin current and the Gauss--Seidel projection method for the magnetization. Accuracy of the time splitting spectral method applied to the Pauli equation is analyzed and verified by numerous examples. Moreover, behaviors of the Schrödinger--Landau--Lifshitz system in different “s-d” coupling regimes are explored numerically.

This paper establishes the hyper-contractivity in L∞ (ℝd) (it's known as ultra-contractivity) for the multi-dimensional Keller-Segel systems with the dif;fusion exponent m > 1 -2/d. The results show that for the supercritical and critical case 1 - 2/d < m ≤ 2 - 2/d, if || U0||d(2-m)/2) < Cd, m where Cd, m is a universal constant, then for any t > 0, || u (⋅, t)|| ... is bounded and decays as t goes to infinity, For the subcritical case m > 2 - 2/d, the solution u (⋅, t) ∈ L∞ (ℝd) with any initial data U0 ∈ L1+ (ℝd) for any positive time.

Abstract We prove the convergence of the vortex blob method for a family of nonlinear evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs), the so-called b-equation. This kind of PDEs, including the Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equation, has many applications in diverse scientific fields. Our convergence analysis also provides a proof for the existence of the global weak solution to the b-equation when the initial data is a nonnegative Radon measure with compact support.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem to the heat conductive compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of vacuum and with vacuum far field. Global well-posedness of strong solutions is established under the assumption, among some other regularity and compatibility conditions, that the scaling invariant quantity $\|\rho_0\|_\infty(\|\rho_0\|_3+\|\rho_0\|_\infty^2\|\sqrt{\rho_0}u_0\|_2^2)(\|\nabla u_0\|_2^2+ \|\rho_0\|_\infty\|\sqrt{\rho_0}E_0\|_2^2)$ is sufficiently small, with the smallness depending only on the parameters $R, \gamma, \mu, \lambda,$ and $\kappa$ in the system. Notably, the smallness assumption is imposed on the above scaling invariant quantity exclusively, and it is independent of any norms of the initial data, which is different from the existing papers, see, e.g., \cite{HLX12,HUANGLI11,WENZHU17}. The total mass can be either finite or infinite. A new equation for the density, more precisely for the cubic of the density, derived from combing the continuity and momentum equations, is employed to get the $L^\infty_t(L^3)$ type estimate of the density.

We consider a system coupling the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation. Such a problem arises in the description of particulate flows. We design a numerical scheme to simulate the behavior of the system. This scheme is asymptotic-preserving, thus efficient in both the kinetic and hydrodynamic regimes. It has a numerical stability condition controlled by the non-stiff convection operator, with an implicit treatment of the stiff drag term and the Fokker–Planck operator. Yet, consistent to a standard asymptotic-preserving Fokker–Planck solver or an incompressible Navier–Stokes solver, only the conjugate–gradient method and fast Poisson and Helmholtz solvers are needed. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and asymptotic behavior of the scheme, with several interesting applications.
