Two problems in Partial Differential Equations (in Portuguese) (1801.04361v1)

Abstract: In this work, we examine two important problems in the theory of nonlinear PDEs. In Part I, we propose and solve a more general and complete version of the celebrated Leray's problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in $ \mathbb{R}^{3} !$, which in its simplest form was suggested by J.$\;$Leray in 1934 (and solved only in the 1980s by T.$\;$ Kato, K.$\;$Masuda and other authors). A number of related new results of clear interest to the theory of Leray's solutions are also given here. In Part II, which is independent of Part I and can be read separately, we introduce an important new collection of problems concerning global existence results and blow-up phenomena for solutions of conservative advection-diffusion equations in $ \mathbb{R}^{n} $ where heterogeneities in the lower order terms tend to destabilize the solution (everywhere or in certain regions), strongly competing with the viscous dissipation effects to determine the overall solution behavior. Here, we consider the case of superlinear advection (and arbitrary dimension), which may cause finite-time blow-up in several important spaces. We then point out a new kind of phenomena --- one that may be properly named "anti-Fujita" for its vivid contrast to the type of blow-up behavior discovered by Fujita in the 1960s, and which has been investigated ever since --- that has apparently been completely overlooked in the literature.
