Existence of asymmetric vortex patch for the generalized SQG equations

Analysis of PDEs 2022-12-13 v1

Abstract

This paper aims to study the existence of asymmetric solutions for the two-dimensional generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (gSQG) equations of simply connected patches for α[1,2)\alpha\in[1,2) in the whole plane, where α=1\alpha=1 corresponds to the surface quasi-geostrophic equations (SQG). More precisely, we construct non-trivial simply connected co-rotating and traveling patches with unequal vorticity magnitudes. The proof is carried out by means of a combination of a desingularization argument with the implicit function theorem on the linearization of contour dynamics equation. Our results extend recent ones in the range α[0,1)\alpha\in[0,1) by Hassainia-Hmidi (DCDS-A, 2021) and Hassainia-Wheeler (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2022) to more singular velocities, filling an open gap in the range of α\alpha.
