In this paper, we derive the quantum hydrodynamics models based on the moment closure of the Wigner equation. The moment expansion adopted is of the Grad type firstly proposed in \cite{Grad}. The Grad's moment method was originally…

The motion of rarefied gases for uniform shear flow at the kinetic level is governed by the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with a deformation force. In the paper we study the corresponding Cauchy problem with initial data of…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with a given ample line bundle $L$. In \cite{Don05}, Donaldson proved that the Calabi energy of a K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L)$ is bounded from below by the supremum of a normalized version of the minus…

We give quantitative estimates on the asymptotics of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator and its associated equation from angular cutoff to non cutoff. On one hand, the results disclose the link between the hyperbolic property…

In the present paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with a time-dependent scale invariant damping $\frac{2}{1+t}\partial_t v$ and a cubic convolution $(|x|^{-\gamma}*v^2)v$ with $\gamma\in \left(-\frac{1}{2},3\right)$ in…

For the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with hard po- tentials and Grad's cutoff (e.g. hard spheres), we give quantitative estimates of exponential convergence to equilibrium, and we show that the rate of exponential decay is…

We introduce a class of Boltzmann equations on the real line, which constitute extensions of the classical Kac caricature. The collisional gain operators are defined by smoothing transformations with quite general properties. By…

Sharp $L^\infty$ estimates are obtained for general classes of fully non-linear PDE's on non-K\"ahler manifolds, complementing the theory developed earlier by the authors in joint work with F. Tong for the K\"ahler case. The key idea is…

We prove gradient estimates for transition Markov semigroups $(P_t)$ associated to SDEs driven by multiplicative Brownian noise having possibly unbounded $C^1$-coefficients, without requiring any monotonicity type condition. In particular,…

In this paper, we study a Landis-type conjecture for the general fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equation $((-P)^{s}+q)u=0$. As a byproduct, we also proved the additivity and boundedness of the linear operator $(-P)^{s}$ for non-smooth…
