Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations %0 Journal Article %D 2021 %T Quadratic Life Span of Periodic Gravity-capillary Water Waves %A Massimiliano Berti %A Roberto Feola %A Luca Franzoi %X

We consider the gravity-capillary water waves equations for a bi-dimensional fluid with a periodic one-dimensional free surface. We prove a rigorous reduction of this system to Birkhoff normal form up to cubic degree. Due to the possible presence of three-wave resonances for general values of gravity, surface tension, and depth, such normal form may be not trivial and exhibit a chaotic dynamics (Wilton ripples). Nevertheless, we prove that for all the values of gravity, surface tension, and depth, initial data that are of size $$ \varepsilon $$in a sufficiently smooth Sobolev space leads to a solution that remains in an $$ \varepsilon $$-ball of the same Sobolev space up times of order $$ \varepsilon ^{-2}$$. We exploit that the three-wave resonances are finitely many, and the Hamiltonian nature of the Birkhoff normal form.

We prove the first bifurcation result of time quasi-periodic traveling wave solutions for space periodic water waves with vorticity. In particular, we prove the existence of small amplitude time quasi-periodic solutions of the gravity-capillary water waves equations with constant vorticity, for a bidimensional fluid over a flat bottom delimited by a space-periodic free interface. These quasi-periodic solutions exist for all the values of depth, gravity and vorticity, and restrict the surface tension to a Borel set of asymptotically full Lebesgue measure.

Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis %0 Report %D 2017 %T Almost global existence of solutions for capillarity-gravity water waves equations with periodic spatial boundary conditions %A Massimiliano Berti %A Jean-Marc Delort %X The goal of this monograph is to prove that any solution of the Cauchy problem for the capillarity-gravity water waves equations, in one space dimension, with periodic, even in space, initial data of small size ϵ, is almost globally defined in time on Sobolev spaces, i.e. it exists on a time interval of length of magnitude ϵ−N for any N, as soon as the initial data are smooth enough, and the gravity-capillarity parameters are taken outside an exceptional subset of zero measure. In contrast to the many results known for these equations on the real line, with decaying Cauchy data, one cannot make use of dispersive properties of the linear flow. Instead, our method is based on a normal forms procedure, in order to eliminate those contributions to the Sobolev energy that are of lower degree of homogeneity in the solution. Since the water waves equations are a quasi-linear system, usual normal forms approaches would face the well known problem of losses of derivatives in the unbounded transformations. In this monograph, to overcome such a difficulty, after a paralinearization of the capillarity-gravity water waves equations, necessary to obtain energy estimates, and thus local existence of the solutions, we first perform several paradifferential reductions of the equations to obtain a diagonal system with constant coefficients symbols, up to smoothing remainders. Then we may start with a normal form procedure where the small divisors are compensated by the previous paradifferential regularization.The reversible structure of the water waves equations, and the fact that we look for solutions even in x, guarantees a key cancellation which prevents the growth of the Sobolev norms of the solutions. %G en %U http://preprints.sissa.it/handle/1963/35285 %1 35590 %2 Mathematics %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2017-05-30T09:17:49Z No. of bitstreams: 1 1702.04674.pdf: 2311619 bytes, checksum: 0765035340f77780899e30e93390092b (MD5) %0 Report %D 2017 %T Time quasi-periodic gravity water waves in finite depth %A P Baldi %A Massimiliano Berti %A Emanuele Haus %A Riccardo Montalto %X We prove the existence and the linear stability of Cantor families of small amplitude time quasi-periodic standing water wave solutions - namely periodic and even in the space variable x - of a bi-dimensional ocean with finite depth under the action of pure gravity. Such a result holds for all the values of the depth parameter in a Borel set of asymptotically full measure. This is a small divisor problem. The main difficulties are the quasi-linear nature of the gravity water waves equations and the fact that the linear frequencies grow just in a sublinear way at infinity. We overcome these problems by first reducing the linearized operators obtained at each approximate quasi-periodic solution along the Nash-Moser iteration to constant coefficients up to smoothing operators, using pseudo-differential changes of variables that are quasi-periodic in time. Then we apply a KAM reducibility scheme which requires very weak Melnikov non-resonance conditions (losing derivatives both in time and space), which we are able to verify for most values of the depth parameter using degenerate KAM theory arguments. %G en %U http://preprints.sissa.it/handle/1963/35296 %1 35602 %2 Mathematics %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2017-09-27T15:46:10Z No. of bitstreams: 1 1708.01517.pdf: 1909445 bytes, checksum: 71fc741593666cacf41187c00b092503 (MD5) %0 Report %D 2016 %T Large KAM tori for perturbations of the dNLS equation %A Massimiliano Berti %A Thomas Kappeler %A Riccardo Montalto %X We prove that small, semi-linear Hamiltonian perturbations of the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger (dNLS) equation on the circle have an abundance of invariant tori of any size and (finite) dimension which support quasi-periodic solutions. When compared with previous results the novelty consists in considering perturbations which do not satisfy any symmetry condition (they may depend on x in an arbitrary way) and need not be analytic. The main difficulty is posed by pairs of almost resonant dNLS frequencies. The proof is based on the integrability of the dNLS equation, in particular the fact that the nonlinear part of the Birkhoff coordinates is one smoothing. We implement a Newton-Nash-Moser iteration scheme to construct the invariant tori. The key point is the reduction of linearized operators, coming up in the iteration scheme, to 2×2 block diagonal ones with constant coefficients together with sharp asymptotic estimates of their eigenvalues. %G en %U http://preprints.sissa.it/handle/1963/35284 %1 35589 %2 Mathematics %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2017-05-30T09:09:35Z No. of bitstreams: 1 1603.09252.pdf: 1306610 bytes, checksum: 1e34137dcb21eb2e2a8e93d0c2d009a3 (MD5) %0 Conference Paper %B The 26th International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference %D 2016 %T Ship Sinkage and Trim Predictions Based on a CAD Interfaced Fully Nonlinear Potential Model %A Andrea Mola %A Luca Heltai %A Antonio DeSimone %A Massimiliano Berti %B The 26th International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference %I International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers %V 3 %P 511–518 %G eng %0 Journal Article %D 2014 %T An Abstract Nash–Moser Theorem and Quasi-Periodic Solutions for NLW and NLS on Compact Lie Groups and Homogeneous Manifolds %A Massimiliano Berti %A Livia Corsi %A Michela Procesi %X We prove an abstract implicit function theorem with parameters for smooth operators defined on scales of sequence spaces, modeled for the search of quasi-periodic solutions of PDEs. The tame estimates required for the inverse linearised operators at each step of the iterative scheme are deduced via a multiscale inductive argument. The Cantor-like set of parameters where the solution exists is defined in a non inductive way. This formulation completely decouples the iterative scheme from the measure theoretical analysis of the parameters where the small divisors non-resonance conditions are verified. As an application, we deduce the existence of quasi-periodic solutions for forced NLW and NLS equations on any compact Lie group or manifold which is homogeneous with respect to a compact Lie group, extending previous results valid only for tori.

The key analysis concerns the reducibility of the linearized operator at an approximate solution, which provides a sharp asymptotic expansion of its eigenvalues.

These results can be seen as generalizations of the classical finite-dimensional resonant center theorems of Weinstein-Moser and Fadell-Rabinowitz. The proofs are based on variational bifurcation theory: after a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction, the small divisor problem in the range equation is overcome with a Nash-Moser implicit function theorem for a Cantor set of non-resonant parameters. Next, the infinite dimensional bifurcation equation, variational in nature, possesses minimax mountain-pass critical points. The big difficulty is to ensure that they are not in the "Cantor gaps". This is proved under weak non-degeneracy conditions. Finally, we also discuss the existence of forced vibrations with rational frequency.

It allows to deal also with nonlinearities which are not odd and with finite spatial regularity. %B Duke Math.
