However, it remains an outstanding open problem whether classical solutions of the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation preserve their regularity for all time. This paper studies solutions of a family of active scalar equations in which each component $u_j$ of the velocity field $u$ is determined by the scalar $\\theta$ through $u_j =\\mathcal{R} \\Lambda^{-1} P(\\Lambda) \\theta$ where $\\mathcal{R}$ is a Riesz transform and $\\Lambda=(-\\Delta)^{1/2}$. The 2D Euler vorticity equation corresponds to the special case $P(\\Lambda)=I$ while the SQG equation to the case $P(\\Lambda) =\\Lambda$. We develop tools to bound $\\|\\nabla u||_{L^\\infty}$ for a general class of operators $P$ and establish the global regularity for the Loglog-Euler equation for which $P(\\Lambda)= (\\log(I+\\log(I-\\Delta)))^\\gamma$ with $0\\le \\gamma\\le 1$. In addition, a regularity criterion for the model corresponding to $P(\\Lambda)=\\Lambda^\\beta$ with $0\\le \\beta\\le 1$ is also obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-10-07T18:31:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q35", "76D03" ], "keywords": [ "surface quasi-geostrophic equations", "inviscid models generalizing", "2d euler vorticity equation corresponds", "regularity", "paper studies solutions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s00205-011-0411-5", "journal": "Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis", "year": 2011, "month": "Oct", "volume": 202, "number": 1, "pages": 35 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011ArRMA.202...35C" } } }
