Let n ≥ 3 , Ω be a bounded (semi-)convex domain in ℝ n and the non-negative potential V belong to the reverse Hölder class RH n (ℝ n). Assume that p ∈ (1 , ∞) and ω ∈ A p (∂ Ω) , where A p (∂ Ω) denotes the Muckenhoupt weight class on ∂ Ω , the boundary of Ω. In this paper, the authors show that, for any p ∈ (1 , ∞) , the Neumann problem for the Schrödinger equation − Δ u + V u = 0 in Ω with boundary data in (weighted) L p is uniquely solvable. The obtained results in this paper essentially improve the known results which are special cases of the results obtained by Shen [Indiana Univ. Math. J.43 (1994) 143–176] and Tao and Wang [Canad. J. Math.56 (2004) 655–672], via extending the range p ∈ (1 , 2 ] of p into p ∈ (1 , ∞). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with the critical threshold phenomenon for one-dimensional damped, pressureless Euler-Poisson equations with electric force induced by a constant background, originally studied in [S. Engelberg and H. Liu and E. Tadmor, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 50 (2001) 109-157]. A simple transformation is used to linearize the characteristic system of equations, which allows us to study the geometrical structure of critical threshold curves for three damping cases: overdamped, underdamped and borderline damped through phase plane analysis. We also derive the explicit form of these critical curves. These sharp results state that if the initial data is within the threshold region, the solution will remain smooth for all time, otherwise it will have a finite time breakdown. Finally, we apply these general results to identify critical thresholds for a non-local system subjected to initial data on the whole line. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
