On wellposedness and limiting behavior of generalized SQG equations
Abstract
We consider the two-dimensional generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations in ℝ2, given by ∂t θ+u· ∇ θ=0, u=−∇⊥Λβ−2θ, β∈ [1,2). When β=1, the equation defines the SQG equation and for β>1, it defines a family of more singular active scalar equations. We prove that if the interval of existence of the smooth solution to the generalized SQG equations for some β0∈[1,2) is [0,T], then with the same initial data, the interval of existence of the generalized SQG equations for β close to β0 also contains [0,T]. To prove these results, we develop estimates for a conservation law with flux modified around the generalized SQG equations. Furthermore, we also prove some new commutator estimates with bounds uniformly bounded as β→ 1 that may be of independent interest.

AB - We consider the two-dimensional generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations in ℝ^2, given by ∂_t θ+u· ∇ θ=0, u=−∇^⊥Λ^β−2θ, β∈ [1,2). When β=1, the equation defines the SQG equation and for β>1, it defines a family of more singular active scalar equations. We prove that if the interval of existence of the smooth solution to the generalized SQG equations for some β_0∈[1,2) is [0,T], then with the same initial data, the interval of existence of the generalized SQG equations for β close to β_0 also contains [0,T]. To prove these results, we develop estimates for a conservation law with flux modified around the generalized SQG equations. Furthermore, we also prove some new commutator estimates with bounds uniformly bounded as β→ 1 that may be of independent interest.
