We prove a continuation criterion for the free boundary problem of three-dimensional incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in a bounded domain, which is analogous to the theorem given in [Beale, Kato and Majda 1984 Comm. Math. Phys. 94 61--66]. We combine the energy estimates of our previous works [Hao and Luo 2014 {Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 212 805--847] on incompressible ideal MHD and some analogous estimates in [Ginsberg 2021 SIAM J. Math. Anal.53(3) 3366--3384] to show that the solution can be continued as long as the curls of the magnetic field and velocity, the second fundamental form and injectivity radius of the free boundary and some norms of the pressure remain bounded, provided that the Taylor-type sign condition holds.

We survey some recent results related to free boundary problems of incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations, and present the main ideas in the proofs of the ill-posedness in 2D when the Taylor sign condition is violated given [1], and the well-posedness of a linearized problem given in [2] in general n-dimensions $(n\geqslant 2)$ when the Taylor sign condition is satisfied and the free boundaries are closed.
Well-posedness for the linearized free boundary problem of incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations (合作者:罗涛)
Journal of Differential Equations 299, 542-601, 2021.
The well-posedness theory is studied for the linearized free boundary problem of incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations in a bounded domain. We express the magnetic field in terms of the velocity field and the deformation tensors in Lagrangian coordinates, and substitute it into the momentum equation to get an equation of the velocity in which the initial magnetic field serves only as a parameter. Then, the velocity equation is linearized with respect to the position vector field whose time derivative is the velocity. In this formulation, a key idea is to use the Lie derivative of the magnetic field taking the advantage that the magnetic field is tangential to the free boundary and divergence free. This paper contributes to the program of developing geometric approaches to study the well-posedness of free boundary problems of ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations under the condition of Taylor sign type for general free boundaries not restricted to graphs.

On the motion of free interface in ideal incompressible MHD
Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis 224(2), 515–553, 2017.
For the free boundary problem of the plasma–vacuum interface to 3D ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics, the a priori estimates of smooth solutions are proved in Sobolev norms by adopting a geometrical point of view and some quantities such as the second fundamental form and the velocity of the free interface are estimated. In the vacuum region, the magnetic fields are described by the div–curl system of pre-Maxwell dynamics, while at the interface the total pressure is continuous and the magnetic fields are tangential to the interface, but we do not need any restrictions on the size of the magnetic fields on the free interface. We introduce the “fictitious particle” endowed with a fictitious velocity field in vacuum to reformulate the problem to a fixed boundary problem under the Lagrangian coordinates. The $L^2$-norms of any order covariant derivatives of the magnetic fields both in vacuum and on the boundaries are bounded in terms of initial data and the second fundamental forms of the free interface and the rigid wall. The estimates of the curl of the electric fields in vacuum are also obtained, which are also indispensable in elliptic estimates.
A priori estimates for free boundary problem of incompressible inviscid magnetohydrodynamic flows (合作者:罗涛)
Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis 212(3), 805-847, 2014.
In the present paper, we prove the a priori estimates of Sobolev norms for a free boundary problem of the incompressible inviscid magnetohydrodynamics equations in all physical spatial dimensions $n = 2$ and $3$ by adopting a geometrical point of view used in Christodoulou and Lindblad (Commun Pure Appl Math 53:1536–1602, 2000), and estimating quantities such as the second fundamental form and the velocity of the free surface. We identify the well-posedness condition that the outer normal derivative of the total pressure including the fluid and magnetic pressures is negative on the free boundary, which is similar to the physical condition (Taylor sign condition) for the incompressible Euler equations of fluids.

Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik 74(2): No. 80, 21pp, 2023.
In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional rotating Boussinesq equations (the “primitive” equations of geophysical fluid flows). Inspired by Christodoulou and Lindblad (Commu. Pure Appl. Math. 53:1536–1602, 2000), we establish a priori estimates of Sobolev norms for free boundary problem of inviscid rotating Boussinesq equations under the Taylor-type sign condition on the initial free boundary. Using the same method, we can also obtain a priori estimates for the incompressible inviscid rotating MHD system with damping.
Local well-posedness for two-phase fluid motion in the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation (合作者:张伟)
Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis 22(7): 2099-2131, 2023.
This paper is concerned with the local well-posedness of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation for the unsteady motion of a drop in another fluid separated by a closed interface with surface tension. We devote to getting the linearized Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation in the fixed domain by using the Hanzawa transformation, and using maximal $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ regularities for the two-phase fluid motion of the linearized system obtained by the authors in [11] to establish the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of nonlinear problem with the help of the contraction mapping principle, in which the differences of nonlinear terms are estimated.
Maximal $L^p$-$L^q$ regularity for two-phase fluid motion in the linearized Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation (合作者:张伟)
Journal of Differential Equations 322, 101-134, 2022.
This paper is concerned with the generalized resolvent estimate and the maximal $L^p$-$L^q$ regularity of the linearized Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation for unsteady motion of a drop in another fluid without surface tension, which is indispensable for establishing the well-posedness of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation for the two incompressible liquids separated by a closed interface. We prove the existence of $\mathcal{R}$-bounded solution operators for the model problems and the maximal $L^p$-$L^q$ regularity for the system. The key step is to prove the maximal $L^p$-$L^q$ regularity theorem for the linearized heat equation with the help of the $\mathcal{R}$-bounded solution operators for the corresponding resolvent problem and the Weis operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorem.

A free boundary problem for the incompressible neo-Hookean elastodynamics is studied in two and three spatial dimensions. The a priori estimates in Sobolev norms of solutions with the physical vacuum condition are established through a geometrical point of view of Christodoulou and Lindblad (2000) [3]. Some estimates on the second fundamental form and velocity of the free surface are also obtained.

Remarks on the free boundary problem of compressible Euler equations in physical vacuum with general initial densities
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - B 20(9), 2885-2931, 2015.
In this paper, we establish a priori estimates for three-dimensional compressible Euler equations with the moving physical vacuum boundary, the $\gamma$-gas law equation of state for $\gamma=2$ and the general initial density $\rho_0\in H^5$. Because of the degeneracy of the initial density, we investigate the estimates of the horizontal spatial and time derivatives and then obtain the estimates of the normal or full derivatives through the elliptic-type estimates. We derive a mixed space-time interpolation inequality which plays a vital role in our energy estimates and obtain some extra estimates for the space-time derivatives of the velocity in $L^3$.

Cauchy problem for viscous rotating shallow water equations (合作者:肖玲, 李海梁)
Journal of Differential Equations 247(12), 3234–3257, 2009.
We consider the Cauchy problem for a viscous compressible rotating shallow water system with a third-order surface-tension term involved, derived recently in the modeling of motions for shallow water with free surface in a rotating sub-domain Marche (2007) [19]. The global existence of the solution in the space of Besov type is shown for initial data close to a constant equilibrium state away from the vacuum. Unlike the previous analysis about the compressible fluid model without Coriolis forces, see for instance Danchin (2000) [10], Haspot (2009) [16], the rotating effect causes a coupling between two parts of Hodge's decomposition of the velocity vector field, and additional regularity is required in order to carry out the Friedrichs' regularization and compactness arguments.

Long-time self-similar asymptotic of the macroscopic quantum models (合作者:李海梁, 张国敬, 张敏)
J. Math. Phys. 49(7), 073503, 14pp, 2008.
The unipolar and bipolar macroscopic quantum models derived recently, for instance, in the area of charge transport are considered in spatial one-dimensional whole space in the present paper. These models consist of nonlinear fourth-order parabolic equation for unipolar case or coupled nonlinear fourth-order parabolic system for bipolar case. We show for the first time the self-similarity property of the macroscopic quantum models in large time. Namely, we show that there exists a unique global strong solution with strictly positive density to the initial value problem of the macroscopic quantum models which tends to a self-similar wave (which is not the exact solution of the models) in large time at an algebraic time-decay rate.

- PhD Thesis: The Study on Schrödinger-Poisson Systems and Fourth Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (in Chinese), Chinese Academy of Sciences,2005.
This thesis is composed of two independent parts.
In the first part, the Schrödinger-Poisson systems which can be used to describe the models arising from the applied sciences are studied. We will focus on two kinds of models. The first one is the bipolar Schrödinger-Poisson system for which we consider the wellposedness and large time behavior of solutions to Cauchy problem. The second one is the quasi-linear Schrödinger-Poisson system for which we investigate the initial-boundary value problem with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Firstly, for the Cauchy problem of bipolar Schrödinger-Poisson system, we obtain the global wellposedness of mild solution to the Cauchy problem with the initial data in $H^s$ ($s$ is an arbitrary real number) by using the Strichartz estimates and the properties of Besov spaces, which extends and improves the related known results in which $s$ is only a nonnegative integer. Secondly, we obtain the global wellposedness and large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the bipolar nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system with a defocusing self-interacting potential. And we get the energy, pseudo-conformal conservation laws which are valid for all space dimensions. Thirdly, in order to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for the Cauchy problem to bipolar nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system, we establish initiatively the theory for the modified scattering operators. The methods used to the bipolar cases can be applied into the unipolar cases without any difficulties. At last, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the initial-boundary value problem for the quasi-linear Schrödinger-Poisson system with Dirichlet boundary conditions, which holds for one, two and three space dimensions.
In the second part, we study the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equations with nonlinearities which may contain derivatives in one dimensional space and in multi-dimensional spaces. By utilizing the modern methods in analysis such as local smoothing effect method, the estimates for maximal functions etc., we establish the local wellposedness to this problem. We not only avoid the fetters of classical methods but also overcome the difficulties arising from the higher derivatives. And in the multi-dimensional cases, the focusing and defocusing cases are both considered for the second order derivative term.

In the theory of water waves (esp. surface waves), the 2D generalization of the usual cubic 1D Schrödinger equation turns out to be the Davey-Stewartson equation.
In Chapter I, we study the scattering for a class of nonlinear Davey-Stewartson equations with three nonlinearities. We proved that their scattering operator exists in $H^1$.
In Chapter II, We generalize its nonlinearity from the cubic case to the $p$-th power cases. Through considering the Cauchy problem for the generalized Davey-Stewartson equation in $\Sigma(\Bbb{R}^n):=\{u\in H^1(\Bbb{R}^n):|x|u\in L^2(\Bbb{R}^n)\}$, we obtain its scattering theory. Of course ,the global existence and the uniqueness of the solution for the Cauchy problem are studied.
