Such waves are characteristic discontinuities for which there is no flow across the discontinuity surface while the magnetic field crosses transversely, which lead to a two-phase free boundary problem where the pressure, velocity and magnetic field are continuous across the interface whereas the entropy and density may have jumps. To overcome the difficulties of possible nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor instability and loss of derivatives, here we use crucially the Lagrangian formulation and Cauchy's celebrated integral (1815) for the magnetic field. These motivate us to define two special good unknowns; one enables us to capture the boundary regularizing effect of the transversal magnetic field on the flow map, and the other one allows us to get around the troublesome boundary integrals due to the transversality of the magnetic field. In particular, our result removes the additional assumption of the Rayleigh–Taylor sign condition required by Morando, Trakhinin and Trebeschi (<i>J. Differ.

Our analysis clarifies some features of the sense in which physically-motivated initial-boundary conditions are satisfied. In particular, we present a proper Riemann-Hilbert problem that generates the unique <i>causal</i> solution to the Cauchy problem, that is, the solution vanishes outside of the light cone. Inside the light cone, we relate the leading-order asymptotics to self-similar solutions that satisfy a system of ordinary differential equations related to the Painlevé-III (PIII) equation. We identify these solutions and show that they are related to a family of PIII solutions recently discovered in connection with several limiting processes involving the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We fully explain a resulting boundary layer phenomenon in which, even for smooth initial data (an incident pulse), the solution makes a sudden transition over an infinitesimally small propagation distance. At a formal level, this phenomenon has been described by other authors in terms of the PIII self-similar solutions. We make this observation precise and for the first time we relate the PIII self-similar solutions to the Cauchy problem. Our analysis of the asymptotic behavior satisfied by the optical field and medium density matrix reveals slow decay of the optical field in one direction that is actually inconsistent with the simplest version of scattering theory.

However, Koopman operators can have continuous spectra and infinite-dimensional invariant subspaces, making computing their spectral information a considerable challenge. This paper describes data-driven algorithms with rigorous convergence guarantees for computing spectral information of Koopman operators from trajectory data. We introduce residual dynamic mode decomposition (ResDMD), which provides the first scheme for computing the spectra and pseudospectra of general Koopman operators from snapshot data without spectral pollution. Using the resolvent operator and ResDMD, we compute smoothed approximations of spectral measures associated with general measure-preserving dynamical systems. We prove explicit convergence theorems for our algorithms (including for general systems that are not measure-preserving), which can achieve high-order convergence even for chaotic systems when computing the density of the continuous spectrum and the discrete spectrum. Since our algorithms have error control, ResDMD allows aposteri verification of spectral quantities, Koopman mode decompositions, and learned dictionaries. We demonstrate our algorithms on the tent map, circle rotations, Gauss iterated map, nonlinear pendulum, double pendulum, and Lorenz system. Finally, we provide kernelized variants of our algorithms for dynamical systems with a high-dimensional state space. This allows us to compute the spectral measure associated with the dynamics of a protein molecule with a 20,046-dimensional state space and compute nonlinear Koopman modes with error bounds for turbulent flow past aerofoils with Reynolds number &gt;10⁵ that has a 295,122-dimensional state space.</p>","PeriodicalId":10601,"journal":{"name":"Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cpa.22125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91568372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our main application is a negative answer to the long-standing question of whether or not every Einstein 4-orbifold (which is an Einstein metric space in a synthetic sense) is limit of smooth Einstein 4-manifolds. We more precisely show that spherical and hyperbolic 4-orbifolds with the simplest singularities cannot be Gromov-Hausdorff limits of smooth Einstein 4-metrics without relying on previous integrability assumptions. For this, we analyze the integrability of deformations of Ricci-flat ALE metrics through variations of Schoen's Pohozaev identity. Inspired by Taub's conserved quantity in General Relativity, we also introduce conserved integral quantities based on the symmetries of Einstein metrics. These quantities are obstructions to the integrability of infinitesimal Einstein deformations “closing up” inside a hypersurface – even with change of topology. We show that many previously identified obstructions to the desingularization of Einstein 4-metrics are equivalent to these quantities on Ricci-flat cones.
