Cancellations for dispersive PDEs with random initial data

From MaRDI portal





The authors present a combinatorial formalism for dealing with cancellations in the context of dispersive partial differential equations with random initial data. They start with the Schrödinger equation: \((\partial _{t}-i\Delta )u=i\mu ^{2}\left\vert u\right\vert ^{2}u\), with the initial condition \(u(0,x)=v(x)\), \(x\in \mathbb{T}_{L}^{d}=[0,L]^{d}\). The random initial data \(v\) is given by \(v(x)=\frac{1}{L^{d}}\sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z} _{L}^{d}}v_{k}e^{2\pi ikx}\), \(v_{k}=\sqrt{w_{k}}\eta _{k}\), where \(\mathbb{Z} _{L}^{d}=(L^{-1}\mathbb{Z})^{d}\), \(w:\mathbb{R}^{d}\rightarrow \lbrack 0,+\infty )\) is a given Schwartz function, and the \(\eta _{k}\) are i.i.d. centered complex Gaussian random variables satisfying \(\mathbb{E}(\left\vert \eta _{k}\right\vert ^{2})=1\), \(\mathbb{E}(\eta _{k}\eta _{\ell })=0\), for \( k,\ell \in \mathbb{Z}_{L}^{d}\). The authors rewrite this equation in Duhamel form as \(u(t)=e^{it\Delta v}+i\mu ^{2}\int_{0}^{t}e^{i(t-s)\Delta }\left\vert u(s)\right\vert ^{2}u(s)ds\). In Fourier space, one has: \( u_{k}(t)=e^{-itk^{2}}v_{k}+i\mu ^{2}\sum_{k=-k_{1}+k_{2}+k_{3}}\int_{0}^{t}e^{-i(t-s)k^{2}}\overline{u} _{k_{1}}(s)u_{k_{1}}(s)u_{k_{1}}(s)ds\). The set \(\mathfrak{T}\) of decorated trees consists of elements of the form \(T_{e}^{\mathfrak{f}}\), where \(T\) is a nonplanar rooted tree (a rooted tree where the order of a node's children does not matter) with root node \(\varrho _{T}\), edge set \(E_{T}\), node set \( N_{T}\) and leaves set \(L_{T}\), \(\mathfrak{e}:E_{T}\rightarrow \{\mathfrak{t} _{1},\mathfrak{t}_{2}\}\times \{0,1\}\) are edge decorations (all the edges of \(T_{e}^{\mathfrak{f}}\) are supposed to be connected to leaves decorated by \((\mathfrak{t}_{1},p)\) with \(p\in \{0,1\}\) and all the other edges are decorated by \((\mathfrak{t}_{2},p)\)), and \(\mathfrak{f}:N_{T}\setminus \{\varrho _{T}\}\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^{d}\) are node decorations satisfying, for every inner node \(u\), the relation \((-1)_{\mathfrak{c}(\mathfrak{e}u)} \mathfrak{f}(u)=\sum_{e=(u,v)\in E_{T}}(-1)^{\mathfrak{c}(e)}\mathfrak{f}(v)\) , where \(\mathfrak{e}(e)=(\mathfrak{t}(e),\mathfrak{c}(e))\) and \(e_{u}\) is the edge outgoing \(u\) of the form \((w,u)\). The first main result connects the two formalisms via decorated trees and words, allowing to switch from decorated trees to words where one can perform the algebraic manipulations required to compute the cancellations: For every decorated tree \(T_{ \mathfrak{e},p}^{\mathfrak{f}}\), \((\Pi T_{\mathfrak{e},p}^{\mathfrak{f} })(t)=(\Pi ^{A}\mathfrak{a}(T_{\mathfrak{e},p}^{\mathfrak{f}}))(t)\), where \( (\Pi T_{\mathfrak{e},p}^{\mathfrak{f}})(t)=\int Q\Pi e\in E_{T}^{2}(-1)^{ \mathfrak{c}(e)}i\mu ^{2}\mathbf{1}_{\{0<t_{e_{-}}<t_{e_{+}}\}}(\exp((-1)^{ \mathfrak{c}(e)}i(t_{e_{-}}-t_{e_{+}})\mathfrak{f}(e_{-})^{2}))\) \(\times \Pi _{z\in E_{T}^{\mathfrak{p}}}\xi _{\mathfrak{f}(z_{-})}^{\mathfrak{c} (z)}(t_{z_{+}})\Pi _{\{x,y\}\in \mathfrak{p}}\mathbb{E}(\xi _{\mathfrak{f} (x_{-})}^{\mathfrak{c}(z)}(t_{x_{+}})\xi _{\mathfrak{f}(y_{-})}^{\mathfrak{c} (y)}(t_{y_{+}})\Pi _{e\in E_{T}^{2}}dt_{e_{-}}\), and \((\Pi ^{A}\mathfrak{a} (T_{\mathfrak{e},p}^{\mathfrak{f}}))(t)\) is an evaluation map on words. The main tool of the proof is the possibility to rewrite any internal edge of a tree as a covariance between two edges: \(e^{i(s-t)k^{2}}=\mathbb{E} (e^{-itk^{2}}\eta _{k}\overline{e^{-isk^{2}}\eta _{k}})\). The authors then consider the case of the 3D cubic wave equation: \((\partial _{t}^{2}+1-\Delta )u=-u^{3}\), with the initial condition \((u,\left\langle \nabla \right\rangle ^{-1}u)\mid _{t=0}=(\varphi ^{\cos},\varphi ^{\sin})\), where \((t,x)\in \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{T}^{3}\). Given independent copies \( (W_{n}^{\varphi })_{n\in \mathbb{Z}^{3}}\) of the Gaussian process with mean zero and covariance given by \(E(W_{n}^{\varphi }(s)W_{m}^{\varphi }(t))=\delta _{m+n}s\wedge t\), they define the Gaussian process \( W_{s}^{\varphi }\) by \(W_{s}^{\varphi }(x)=\sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z} ^{3}}W_{n}^{\varphi }(s)e^{inx}\). They consider the stochastic heat equation with space-time white noise given by \((\partial _{t}+1-\Delta )u^{\varphi }= \sqrt{2}dW_{t}^{\varphi }\), \(u^{\varphi }(t,x)=\sqrt{2}\sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z} ^{3}}u_{n}^{\varphi }(t)e^{inx}\), with \(u_{n}^{\varphi }(t)=\int_{-\infty }^{t}e^{-(t-s)\left\langle n\right\rangle ^{2}}dW_{n}^{\varphi }(s)\). They also consider the solutions to the linear wave equation: \((\partial _{t}+1-\Delta )v=0\), with the initial condition \((v,\left\langle \nabla \right\rangle ^{-1}v)\mid _{t=0}=(u^{\cos},u^{\sin})\), which can be described explicitly by \(v(t,x)=\cos(t\left\langle \nabla \right\rangle )u^{\cos}(t,x)+\sin(t\left\langle \nabla \right\rangle )u^{\sin}(t,x)\). In the Fourier space, one has \(v_{n}(t)=\cos(t\left\langle n\right\rangle )u_{n}^{\cos}(t)+\sin(t\left\langle n\right\rangle )u_{n}^{\sin}(t)\). They prove a quite similar result in the context, mainly using the identity: \( \frac{\sin((t-t^{\prime })\left\langle n\right\rangle )}{\left\langle n\right\rangle }=-\partial _{t}\mathbb{E}(v_{n}(t)v_{-n^{\prime }}(t^{\prime }))=\partial _{t^{\prime }}\mathbb{E}(v_{n}(t)v_{-n^{\prime }}(t^{\prime }))\).
