Large-time behavior of solutions to the inflow problem of full compressible NavierStokes equations is investigated on the half line \mathbf{R}_+=(0,+\infty). The wave structure, which contains four wavesthe transonic (or degenerate) boundary layer solution, the 1-rarefaction wave, the viscous 2-contact wave, and the 3-rarefaction wave to the inflow problemis described, and the asymptotic stability of the superposition of the above four wave patterns to the inflow problem of full compressible NavierStokes equations is proven under some smallness conditions. The proof is given by the elementary energy analysis based on the underlying wave structure. The main points in the proof are the treatments of the degeneracies in the transonic boundary layer solution and the wave interactions in the superposition wave.

Let G=(V,E) be a locally finite connected weighted graph, and Ω be an unbounded subset of V. Using Rothe's method, we study the existence of solutions for the semilinear heat equation ∂_t u+|u|^{p−1}⋅u=Δu (p≥1) and the parabolic variational inequality ∫_{Ω^∘} ∂_t u⋅(v−u)dμ ≥ ∫_{Ω^∘} (Δu+f)⋅(v−u)dμ for any v∈H, where H={u∈W^{1,2}(V):u=0 on V∖Ω^∘}.

In this article, we study wave dynamics in the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a modulated honeycomb potential. This problem arises from recent research interests in the interplay between topological materials and nonlocal governing equations. Both are current focuses in scientific research fields. We first develop the Floquet-Bloch spectral theory of the linear fractional Schrödinger operator with a honeycomb potential. Especially, we prove the existence of conical degenerate points, i.e., Dirac points, at which two dispersion band functions intersect. We then investigate the dynamics of wave packets spectrally localized at a Dirac point and derive the leading effective envelope equation. It turns out the envelope can be described by a nonlinear Dirac equation with a varying mass. With rigorous error estimates, we demonstrate that the asymptotic solution based on the effective envelope equation approximates the true solution well in the weighted-H^s space.

We consider the Schrödinger equation with a nondispersive logarithmic nonlinearity and a repulsive harmonic potential. For a suitable range of the coefficients, there exist two positive stationary solutions, each one generating a continuous family of solitary waves. These solutions are Gaussian, and turn out to be orbitally unstable. We also discuss the notion of ground state in this setting: for any natural definition, the set of ground states is empty.
