Uniform Gevrey regularity of L

116 T. Gramchev for all β, γ ∈ Z n + , β 6= 0. We point out that, as a corollary of our theorem, we obtain for σ = 1 and f [v] ≡ 0 a seemingly new result, namely that every eigenfunction φ j x of −1+V x is extended to a holomorphic function in {z ∈ C n : |ℑz| T } for some T 0. Next, we have a corollary from our abstract result on uniform G 1 regularity for the H 2 R solitary wave solutions r x + ct, c 0 in [29] satisfying 49 Pu = r ′′′′ + µr ′′ + cr = f r, r ′ , r ′′ = f r, r ′ + f 1 r, r ′ r ′′ , µ ∈ R with f j being homogeneous polynomial of degree d − j, j = 0, 1, d ≥ 3 and |µ| 2 √ −c. Actually, by Lemma 6, we find that every solution r to 49 belonging to H s R , s 32, is extended to a holomorphic function in {z ∈ C : |I m z| T } for some T 0.

4. Uniform Gevrey regularity of L

∞ stationary solutions It is well known that the traveling waves to dissipative equations like Burgers, Fisher– Kolmogorov, Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations have typically two different nonzero limits for x → ±∞ see the example 6. Now we investigate the G σ un R n regularity of such type of solutions for semilinear elliptic equations. We shall generalize Theorem 4.1 in [8] for G θ nonlinear terms f . We restrict our attention to 30 for n = 1, m = 0, P = PD being a constant coefficients elliptic p.d.o. or Fourier multiplier of order m. T HEOREM 2. Let θ ≥ 1, σ ≥ θ, m − m ≥ 1, f ∈ G θ C L , f 0 = 0, w ∈ G σ ∞ T ; H s for some T 0. Suppose that v ∈ L ∞ R is a weak solution of 30 satisfying ∇v ∈ H s R . Then there exists T ′ , depending on T , PD, f , kvk ∞ and k∇vk s such that v ∈ G σ ∞ H s R ; T ′ . In particular, if σ = θ = 1 then v can be extended to a holomorphic function in {z ∈ C : |Im z| T ′ }. Without loss of generality we suppose that n = 1, m = 0. It is enough to show that v ′ = D x v ∈ G σ H s , T for some T 0. We need an important auxiliary assertion, whose proof is essentially contained in [27]. L EMMA 7. Let g ∈ G θ R p : R, 1 ≤ θ ≤ σ , g0 = 0. Then there exists a positive continuous nondecreasing function Gt, t ≥ 0 such that 50 kD α gvw k s ≤ |D α gv | ∞ kwk s + G|v| ∞ α α θ kwk s −1 + k∇vk s s −1 for all v ∈ L ∞ R n : R p , v ′ ∈ H s R n : R p , w ∈ H s R p , α ∈ Z p + , provided s n2 + 1. Proof of Theorem 2. Write u = v ′ . We observe that f v ′ = f ′ v u and the hy- potheses imply that gv : = f ′ v ∈ L ∞ R and u ∈ H s R . Thus differentiating k Perturbative methods 117 times we obtain that u satisfies P D k u = D k gvu + D k w ′ which leads to D k u = P −1 D k gvu + P −1 D k w ′ . Hence, since m ≥ 1 and P −1 D is bounded in H s R we get the following estimates kD k u k s ≤ CkD k −1 gvu k s + kD k −1 w ′ k s ≤ k −1 X j =0 k − 1 j kD j gvD k −1− j u k s + kD k −1 w ′ k s ≤ k −1 X j =0 k − 1 j j X ℓ =0 C ℓ −1 ℓ × X p1+···+ pℓ= j p 1 ≥1,··· , p ℓ ≥1 ℓ Y µ =1 kD p µ −1 u k s p µ kD ℓ gvD k −1− j u k s + kD k −1 w ′ k s . 51 Now, by Lemma 7 and 51 we get, with another positive constant C, T k k σ kD k u k s ≤ CT k −σ kvk s k −1 X j =0 k − 1 j −σ +1 j X ℓ =0 C ℓ −1 ℓ σ −θ × X p1+···+ pℓ= j p 1 ≥1,··· , p ℓ ≥1 ℓ Y µ =1 T p µ |D p µ −1 u | s p µ σ G |v| ∞ ℓ T k −1− j |D k −1− j u | s k − 1 − j σ + kw ′ k σ, T ;s . 52 Next, we conclude as in [8]. R EMARK 3. As a corollary from our abstract theorem we obtain apparently new results on the analytic G 1 un R regularity of traveling waves of the Kuramoto– Sivashinsky equation cf. [41], and the Fisher–Kolmogorov equation and its generaliza- tions cf. [37], [31].
