Title: Regularity criteria of supercritical beta-generalized quasi-geostrophic equations in terms of partial derivatives Author: Kazuo Yamazaki (Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater, OK, USA) Abstract: We study the two-dimensional beta-generalized supercritical quasi-geostrophic equation, and in particular show that to obtain global regularity results, one needs to bound only its partial derivative. Results may be generalized to similar active scalars, e.g. the porous media equation. Submitted June 25, 2013. Published September 30, 2013. Math Subject Classifications: 35B65, 35Q35, 35Q86.
