On the global well-posedness of BV weak solutions to the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi equation (Q340351)

Let \(f=f(\theta,\Omega,t)\) be a one-oscillator distribution function at phase \(\theta\), natural frequency \(\Omega\), at time \(t\), \(\rho(\cdot,\cdot)\) represents the local phase density and is defined by the integral of \(f\) w.r.t. \(\Omega\), and \(L[\rho]=\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z}\sin(\theta-\theta_*)\rho(\theta_*,t)d\theta_*\). The authors furnish the uniqueness of weak solutions satisfying local-in-time stability of the following boundary valued Kuramoto-Sakaguchi (bvKS) equation: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\partial_tf+ \partial_\theta(\omega[f]f)=0 \text{ for } (\theta,\Omega)\in\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z\times\mathbb R,\;t>0,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE such that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\displaystyle\omega[f](\theta,\Omega,t)=\Omega-KL[\rho],NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and NEWLINE\[NEWLINEf(\theta,\Omega,0)=f(\theta+2\pi,\Omega,0),NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z}f(\theta,\Omega,0)d\theta=g(\Omega),NEWLINE\]NEWLINE the \(L_1(\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z\times\mathbb R)\)-norm of \(f(\theta,\Omega,0)\) is equal to one, \(K\) is the positive coupling strength and \(g\) is the distribution function. Also, the authors study the global existence of bvKS solutions for the identical oscillator \(f=\rho(\theta,\Omega)\otimes\delta(\Omega)\) where the distribution function is \(\delta(\Omega)\), the Dirac delta measure at \(\Omega\), this diminishes to study the global well-posedness of the following Cauchy problem \(\partial_t\rho-K\partial_\theta\left(L[\rho]\rho\right)=0\) such that \(\rho(\theta,0)=\rho_0(\theta)\). The article is endowed with pleasant numerical simulations for \(K=1\) and \(\Omega=0\).
