(a) Show that if f∈S(Rn) is a Schwartz function and u is a tempered distribution which solves
−Δu+m2u=f
for some constant m=0, then there exists a number C>0 which depends only on m, such that ∥u∥Hs+2⩽C∥f∥Hs for any s⩾0. Explain briefly why this inequality remains valid if f is only assumed to be in Hs(Rn).
Show that if ϵ>0 is given then ∥v∥H12⩽ϵ∥v∥H22+4ϵ1∥v∥H02 for any v∈H2(Rn).
[Hint: The inequality a⩽ϵa2+4ϵ1 holds for any positive ϵ and a∈R. ]
Prove that if u is a smooth bounded function which solves
−Δu+m2u=u3+α⋅∇u
for some constant vector α∈Rn and constant m=0, then there exists a number C′>0 such that ∥u∥H2⩽C′ and C′ depends only on m,α,∥u∥L∞,∥u∥L2.
[You may use the fact that, for non-negative s, the Sobolev space of functions
Hs(Rn)={f∈L2(Rn):∥f∥Hs2=∫Rn(1+∥ξ∥2)s∣f^(ξ)∣2dξ<∞}.]
(b) Let u(x,t) be a smooth real-valued function, which is 2π-periodic in x and satisfies the equation
ut=u2uxx+u3
Give a complete proof that if u(x,0)>0 for all x then u(x,t)>0 for all x and t>0.
