In this paper, we consider a Hénon-type equation driven by nonlinear operator obtained as combination of local and nonlocal term. We prove existence non-existence akin to the classical result Ni, stability fractional parameter $s \to 1$.

It is shown that the unstable evolutions of the Hermite-Gauss-type stationary solutions for the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the exponential-decay response function can evolve into chaotic states. This new kind of entities are referred to as chaoticons because they exhibit not only chaotic properties (with positive Lyapunov exponents and spatial decoherence) but also soliton-lik...

We study the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing Bose–Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases. Existence and uniqueness as well as the possible blow-up of solutions are studied. Moreover, we discuss the problem of dimension-reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrödinger equation.

We derive a modification of the semiclassical Fermi Golden Rule collision operator based on quantum thermodynamic principles. The resulting operator is nonlocal in space and acknowledges the presence of steep potential gradients and potential barriers. The resulting quantum mechanical transport equation the Wigner quantum Boltzmann equation increases the corresponding quantum mechanical entropy...

We describe a nonlocal linear partial differential equation arising in the analysis of dynamics of a nematic liquid crystal. We confirm that it accounts for the kickback phenomenon by decoupling the director dynamics from the flow. We also analyse some of the mathematical properties of the decoupled director equation.

In low-pressure discharges, where the electron mean free path is larger or comparable with the discharge length, the electron dynamics is essentially nonlocal. Moreover, the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) deviates considerably from a Maxwellian. Therefore, an accurate kinetic description of the low-pressure discharges requires knowledge of the nonlocal conductivity operator and ca...

This paper investigates a nonlocal version of a model for phase separation on an atomic lattice that was introduced by P. Podio-Guidugli in Ric. Mat. 55 (2006) 105-118. The model consists of an initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinearly coupled system of two partial differential equations governing the evolution of an order parameter ρ and the chemical potential μ. Singular contributions ...

In this paper, we study solutions to a nonlocal 1-Laplacian equation given by − ∫ ΩJ J(x− y) uψ(y)− u(x) |uψ(y)− u(x)| dy = 0 for x ∈ Ω, with u(x) = ψ(x) for x ∈ ΩJ \ Ω. We introduce two notions of solution and prove that the weaker of the two concepts is equivalent to a nonlocal median value property, where the median is determined by a measure related to J . We also show that solutions in the...

We study the semilinear nonlocal equation ut = J∗u− u− u in the whole R . First, we prove the global well-posedness for initial conditions u(x, 0) = u0(x) ∈ L(R ) ∩ L∞(RN ). Next, we obtain the long time behavior of the solutions. We show that different behaviours are possible depending on the exponent p and the kernel J : finite time extinction for p < 1, faster than exponential decay for the ...

This paper is concerned with a class of nonlocal dispersive models – the θ-equation proposed by H. Liu [ On discreteness of the Hopf equation, Acta Math. Appl. Sin. Engl. Ser. 24(3)(2008)423–440]: (1− ∂ x)ut + (1− θ∂ x) ( u2 2 ) x = (1− 4θ) ( ux 2 )
