چکیده

The 2D quasi-geostrophic (QG) equation is a two dimensional model of the 3D incompressible Euler equations. When dissipation is included in the model then solutions always exist if the dissipation’s wave number dependence is super-linear. Below this critical power the dissipation appears to be insufficient. For instance, it is not known if the critical dissipative QG equation has global smooth solutions for arbitrary large initial data. In this paper we prove existence and uniqueness of global classical solutions of the critical dissipative QG equation for initial data that have small L∞ norm. The importance of an L∞ smallness condition is due to the fact that L∞ is a conserved norm for the non-dissipative QG equation and is non-increasing on all solutions of the dissipative QG., irrespective of size. ∗Partially supported by NSF DMS-9802611 †Partially supported by NSF-DMS 9971926.

Global Well-posedness for the Critical 2d Dissipative Quasi-geostrophic Equation

We give an elementary proof of the global well-posedness for the critical 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation. The argument is based on a non-local maximum principle involving appropriate moduli of continuity.

Remarks on the global regularity for the super-critical 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation

In this article we apply the method used in the recent elegant proof by Kiselev, Nazarov and Volberg of the well-posedness of critically dissipative 2D quasi-geostrophic equation to the super-critical case. We prove that if the initial value satisfies ‖∇θ0‖1−2s L∞ ‖θ0‖ L∞ < cs for some small number cs > 0, where s is the power of the fractional Laplacian, then no finite time singularity will oc...

Dissipative quasi - geostrophic equations with initial data

In this paper, we study the solutions of the initial-value problem (IVP) for the quasi-geostrophic equations, namely ∂tθ + u.∇θ + κ (−∆) θ = 0, on R × ]0,+∞[ , θ (x, 0) = θ0(x), x ∈ R. Our goal is to establish the existence and uniqueness of regulars solutions for the two-dimentional dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation with initial data in a Sobolev space H satisfying suitable conditions wit...

The Quasi-geostrophic Equation and Its Two Regularizations

We consider the quasi-geostrophic model and its two different regularizations. Global regularity results are established for the regularized models with critical or sub-critical indices. The proof of Onsager’s conjecture concerning weak solutions of the 3D Euler equations and the notion of dissipative solutions of Duchon and Robert are extended to weak solutions of the quasi-geostrophic equation.
