We prove that the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations exhibit norm inflation in $\dot B^{s}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with smooth, compactly supported initial data. Such norm inflation is shown in all supercritical $\dot B^{s}_{p,q} $ near…
We construct a family of smooth initial data for the Navier-Stokes equations, bounded in $BMO^{-1}(\mathbb T^3)$, that gives rise to arbitrarily large global solutions. As a consequence, we rule out various hypothetical a priori estimates…
We study the long-time behavior of the solution of a damped BBM equation $u_t + u_x - u_{xxt} + uu_x + \mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u) = 0$. The proposed dampings $\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}$ generalize standards ones, as parabolic…
We prove that the periodic initial value problem for a modified Euler-Poisson equation is well-posed for initial data in $H^{s} (T^{m})$ when $s>m/2+2$ and we improve the Sobolev index to $s>3/2$ for $m=1$. We also study the analytic…
We consider the fractional unforced Burgers equation in the one-dimensional space-periodic setting: $$\partial u/\partial t+(f(u))_x +\nu \Lambda^{\alpha} u= 0, t \geq 0,\ \mathbb{x} \in \mathbb{T}^d=(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^d.$$ Here $f$ is…
We consider ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the generalized Boussinesq and Kawahara equations. We prove norm inflation with general initial data, an improvement over the ill-posedness results by Geba et al., Nonlinear Anal. 95…
The purpose of this work is to evidence a pathological set of initial data for which the regularized solutions by convolution experience a norm-inflation mechanism, in arbitrarily short time. The result is in the spirit of the construction…
In this paper, we propose to use the general $L^2$-based Sobolev norms, i.e., $H^s$ norms where $s\in \mathbb{R}$, to measure the data discrepancy due to noise in image processing tasks that are formulated as optimization problems. As…
For a narrow band of values of the top quark and Higgs boson masses, the Standard Model Higgs potential develops a shallow local minimum at energies of about $10^{16}$ GeV, where primordial inflation could have started in a cold metastable…
We perform a numerical investigation of the fields evolution in the supersymmetric inflationary model based on radiative corrections. Supergravity corrections are also included. We find that, out of all the examined initial data, only about…
We study the initial value problem for the BBM equation: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} u_t+u_x+uu_x-u_{txx}=0 \qquad x\in \T, t \in \R u(0,x)=u_0(x) \end{array} \right. .$$ We prove that the BBM equation is globaly well-posed on $H^s(\T)$ for…
We discuss the issue of setting appropriate initial conditions for inflation. Specifically, we consider natural inflation model and discuss the fine tuning required for setting almost homogeneous initial conditions over a region of order…
In this paper we consider the initial value problem of the Benjamin equation $$ \partial_{t}u+\nu \H(\partial^2_xu) +\mu\partial_{x}^{3}u+\partial_xu^2=0, $$ where $u:\R\times [0,T]\mapsto \R$, and the constants $\nu,\mu\in \R,\mu\neq0$. We…

Inflation due to a non-minimally coupled scalar field with a large non-minimal coupling, as first proposed by Salopek, Bardeen and Bond (SBB), is in good agreement with the observed value of the spectral index and constraints on the…
In this work, we study the initial-value problem associated with the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. We show that the associated initial value problem is locally and globally well-posed in Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{R})$, where $s>1/2$. We…
We reconsider the enhancement of primordial gravitational waves that arises from a quantum gravitational model of inflation. A distinctive feature of this model is that the end of inflation witnesses a brief phase during which the Hubble…
We prove that the Schroedinger map initial-value problem is locally well-posed for small data in the Sobolev spaces $H^\sigma$, $\sigma>(d+1)/2$.
In this paper, we study ill-posedness of cubic fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. First, we consider the cubic nonlinear half-wave equation (NHW) on $\mathbb R$. In particular, we prove the following ill-posedness results: (i)…
