We consider the existence of normalized solutions in H1(ℝN) × H1(ℝN) for systems of nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations, which appear in models for binary mixtures of ultracold quantum gases. Making a solitary wave ansatz, one is led to coupled systems of elliptic equations of the form

and we are looking for solutions satisfying

where a1> 0 and a2> 0 are prescribed. In the system, λ1 and λ2 are unknown and will appear as Lagrange multipliers. We treat the case of homogeneous nonlinearities, i.e. , with positive constants β, μi, pi, ri. The exponents are Sobolev subcritical but may be L2-supercritical. Our main result deals with the case in which in dimensions 2 ≤ N ≤ 4. We also consider the cases in which all of these numbers are less than 2 + 4/N or all are bigger than 2 + 4/N.

We study a quasilinear degenerately elliptic system involving the operator curl. The leading-order term of the associated energy functional is a q-power of curl of the unknowns. It is interesting to us that the structure of the lower-order terms will play an important role in both the existence and regularity of the solutions. When the lower-order part of the energy functional is convex we obtain weak solutions by minimizing the functional in some suitable spaces of vector fields. When it is concave we obtain critical points of the truncated functional, which are weak solutions of a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. We also examine the interior Hölder regularity of the weak solutions, which indicates that the weak solution is composed of a ‘good’ divergence-free part and a ‘bad’ part in gradient form. The analysis involves local higher integrability and local Hölder gradient estimates for a translated q′-Laplace equation and a translated quasilinear equation with p-growth.

By considering the norm of a locally univalent function given by

we obtain such norm estimates for an operator of functions involving a convolution structure of convex univalent functions with a subclass of convex functions (defined by subordination). We also obtain some inequalities concerning this norm for functions under a certain fractional integral operator. Some implications of our results are briefly pointed out in the concluding section.

By homotopy linear algebra we mean the study of linear functors between slices of the ∞-category of ∞-groupoids, subject to certain finiteness conditions. After some standard definitions and results, we assemble said slices into ∞-categories to model the duality between vector spaces and profinite-dimensional vector spaces, and set up a global notion of homotopy cardinality à la Baez, Hoffnung and Walker compatible with this duality. We needed these results to support our work on incidence algebras and Möbius inversion over ∞-groupoids; we hope that they can also be of independent interest.

In this paper we show that the well-known Poincaré–Lyapunov non-degenerate analytic centre problem in the plane and its higher-dimensional version, expressed as the three-dimensional centre problem at the zero-Hopf singularity, have a lot of common properties. In both cases the existence of a neighbourhood of the singularity in the phase space completely foliated by periodic orbits (including equilibria) is characterized by the fact that the system is analytically completely integrable. Hence its Poincaré–Dulac normal form is analytically orbitally linearizable. There also exists an analytic Poincaré return map and, when the system is polynomial and parametrized by its coefficients, the set of systems with centres corresponds to an affine variety in the parameter space of coefficients. Some quadratic polynomial families are considered.

We study global solution curves and prove the existence of infinitely many positive solutions for three classes of self-similar equations with p-Laplace operator. In the p = 2 case these are well-known problems involving the Gelfand equation, the equation modelling electrostatic micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and a polynomial nonlinearity. We extend the classical results of Joseph and Lundgren to the case in which p ≠ 2, and we generalize the main result of Guo and Wei on the equation modelling MEMS.

We consider the free linear Schrödinger equation on a torus 𝕋d, perturbed by a Hamiltonian nonlinearity, driven by a random force and subject to a linear damping:

Here u = u(t, x), x ∈ 𝕋d, 0 < ν ≪ 1, q∗ ∈ ℕ, f is a positive continuous function, ρ is a positive parameter and are standard independent complex Wiener processes. We are interested in limiting, as ν → 0, behaviour of distributions of solutions for this equation and of its stationary measure. Writing the equation in the slow time τ = νt, we prove that the limiting behaviour of them both is described by the effective equation

where the nonlinearity F(u) is made out of the resonant terms of the monomial |u|2q∗u.

We study the dynamics of a domain wall under the influence of applied magnetic fields in a one-dimensional ferromagnetic nanowire, governed by the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. Existence of travelling-wave solutions close to two known static solutions is proven using implicit-function-theorem-type arguments.

We prove the existence of positive radial solutions to a class of semipositone p-Laplacian problems on the exterior of a ball subject to Dirichlet and nonlinear boundary conditions. Using variational methods we prove the existence of a solution, and then use a priori estimates to prove the positivity of the solution.

Set differential equations are usually formulated in terms of the Hukuhara differential. As a consequence, the theory of set differential equations is perceived as an independent subject, in which all results are proved within the framework of the Hukuhara calculus. We propose to reformulate set differential equations as ordinary differential equations in a Banach space by identifying the convex and compact subsets of ℝd with their support functions. Using this representation, standard existence and uniqueness theorems for ordinary differential equations can be applied to set differential equations. We provide a geometric interpretation of the main result, and demonstrate that our approach overcomes the heavy restrictions that the use of the Hukuhara differential implies for the nature of a solution.
