We prove the existence of an open set minimizing the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of an elliptic operator with bounded, measurable coefficients, over all open sets of a given measure. Our proof is based on a free boundary approach: we characterize the eigenfunction on the optimal set as the minimizer of a penalized functional, and derive openness of the optimal set as a consequence of a Hölder estimate for the eigenfunction. We also prove that the optimal eigenfunction grows at most linearly from the free boundary, i.e., it is Lipschitz continuous at free boundary points.","PeriodicalId":51150,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140936324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pedestrian evacuation in a corridor can de described mathematically by different variants of the model introduced by R. L. Hughes [Transp. Res. Part B Methodol., 36 (2002), pp. 507–535]. We identify a class of such models for which existence of a solution is obtained via a topological fixed point argument. In these models, the dynamics of the pedestrian density [math] (governed by a discontinuous-flux Lighthill, Whitham, and Richards model [math]) is coupled to the computation of a Lipschitz continuous “turning curve” [math]. We illustrate this construction by several examples, including the Hughes model with affine cost (a variant of the original problem that is encompassed in the framework of El-Khatib, Goatin, and Rosini [Z. Angew. Math. Phys., 64 (2013), pp. 223–251]. Existence holds either with open-end boundary conditions or with boundary conditions corresponding to panic behavior with capacity drop at exits. Other examples put forward versions of the Hughes model with inertial dynamics of the turning curve and with general costs.","PeriodicalId":51150,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We study the asymptotic stability of a front connecting two unstable states. Such a structure typically appears when the stable state behind a Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovskii–Piskunov front destabilizes when going through an essential Turing bifurcation, giving rise to oscillating patterns. Despite the instability of both end-states, we obtain for the first time stability of such a structure against suitably localized perturbations, with algebraic temporal decay [math]. To deal with the instability behind the front, we simultaneously control the error in two different norms. In the first norm, enhanced diffusive decay is obtained at a linear level through pointwise resolvent estimates. In the second norm, better suited for nonlinear analysis, we show that the error stays bounded in time by use of mode filters.","PeriodicalId":51150,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140828137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we study a Mayer optimal control problem on the space of Borel probability measures over a compact Riemannian manifold [math]. This is motivated by certain situations where a central planner of a deterministic controlled system has only imperfect information on the initial state of the system. The lack of information here is very specific. It is described by a Borel probability measure along which the initial state is distributed. We define a new notion of viscosity in this space by taking test functions that are directionally differentiable and can be written as a difference of two semiconvex functions. With this choice of test functions, we extend the notion of viscosity to Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations in Wasserstein spaces and we establish that the value function is the unique viscosity solution of a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation in the Wasserstein space over [math].","PeriodicalId":51150,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140828107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quasi-geostrohpic (QG) equation has been used to capture the asymptotic dynamics of the rotating stratified Boussinesq flows in the regime of strong stratification and rapid rotation. In this paper, we establish the invalidity of such approximation when the rotation-stratification ratio is either fixed to be unity or tends to unity sufficiently slowly in the asymptotic regime: the difference between the rotating stratified Boussinesq flow and the corresponding QG flow remains strictly away from zero, independently of the intensities of rotation and stratification. In contrast, we also show that the convergence occurs when the rotation-stratification ratio is fixed to be a number other than unity or converges to unity sufficiently fast. As a corollary, we compute a lower bound of the convergence rate, which blows up as the rotation-stratification ratio goes to unity.","PeriodicalId":51150,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140828133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtain a microscopic description of the singularity through the so-called kinetic vorticity and understand its behavior in the vicinity of the macroscopic singularity. As a consequence of our new analysis, we settle affirmatively an open problem of convergence toward Lagrangian solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation whose vorticity is unbounded ([math] for any fixed [math]).
