We consider the Euler-Korteweg system with space periodic boundary conditions x ∈ T d . We prove a local in time existence result of classical solutions for irrotational velocity fields requiring natural minimal regularity assumptions on the initial data.
<abstract><p>We consider the quantum hydrodynamic system on a $ d $-dimensional irrational torus with $ d = 2, 3 $. We discuss the behaviour, over a "non-trivial" time interval, of the $ H^s $-Sobolev norms of solutions. More precisely we prove that, for generic irrational tori, the solutions, evolving form $ \varepsilon $-small initial conditions, remain bounded in $ H^s $ for a time scale of order $ O(\varepsilon^{-1-1/(d-1)+}) $, which is strictly larger with respect to the time-scale provided by local theory. We exploit a Madelung transformation to rewrite the system as a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We therefore implement a Birkhoff normal form procedure involving small divisors arising form three waves interactions. The main difficulty is to control the loss of derivatives coming from the exchange of energy between high Fourier modes. This is due to the irrationality of the torus which prevents to have "good separation'' properties of the eigenvalues of the linearized operator at zero. The main steps of the proof are: (i) to prove precise lower bounds on small divisors; (ii) to construct a modified energy by means of a suitable high/low frequencies analysis, which gives an a priori estimate on the solutions.</p></abstract>

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
