On the Cauchy–Gelfand problem

The problem posed by Gelfand on the asymptotic behavior (in time) of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a first-order quasilinear equation with Riemann-type initial conditions is considered. By applying the vanishing viscosity method with uniform estimates, exact asymptotic expansions in the Cauchy–Gelfand problem are obtained without a priori assuming the monotonicity of the initial data, and the initial-data parameters responsible for the localization of shock waves are described.     

Large-time asymptotics of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a Sobolev-type equation with a cubic nonlinearity

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear Sobolev-type equation at large times. Such an equation describes the pressure of a fluid in a porous medium or a potential in a semiconductor. We develop ideas used for the investigation of classical and Sobolev equations. In particular, we show that the linear term influences the qualitative behavior of the solution, while the derivatives of the third power of the solution do not.     

Asymptotic Analysis for a Class of Infinite Systems of First-Order PDE: Nonlinear Parabolic PDE in the Singular Limit

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a functional partial differential equation with a small parameter as the parameter tends to zero. We establish a convergence theorem in which the limit problem is identified with the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. We also present comparison and existence results for the Cauchy problem for the functional partial differential equation and the limit problem.     

On some local property of the shape of interfaces for the porous media equation

We consider the porous media equation with absorption for various conditions and prove that the shape of ist interface never becomes strongly upward convex. For this sake we derive an improperly posed estimate for solutions of the porous media equation for the non‐characteristic Cauchy problem (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Large time behaviors of hot spots for the heat equation with a potential

We consider the Cauchy problem of the heat equation with a potential which behaves like the inverse square at infinity. In this paper we study the large time behavior of hot spots of the solutions for the Cauchy problem, by using the asymptotic behavior of the potential at the space infinity.     

Initial boundary value problem for the 3D quasilinear hyperbolic equations with nonlinear damping

We investigate global existence and asymptotic behavior of the 3D quasilinear hyperbolic equations with nonlinear damping on a bounded domain with slip boundary condition, which describes the propagation of heat waves for rigid solids at very low temperature, below about 20 K. The global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions are obtained when the initial data are near its equilibrium. Time asymptotically, the internal energy is conjectured to satisfy the porous medium equation and the heat flux obeys the classical Darcy’s-type law. Based on energy estimates, we show that the classical solution converges to steady state exponentially fast in time. Moreover, we also verify that the same is true for the corresponding initial boundary value problem of porous medium equation and thus justifies the validity of Darcy’s-type law in large time.     

On the Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of a Singular Cauchy Problem

We consider a singular Cauchy problem for a nonlinear differential equation unsolved with respect to the derivative of the unknown function. We prove the existence of continuously differentiable solutions, investigate their asymptotic behavior near the initial point, and determine their number.     

Equivalence Relation between Initial Values and Solutions for Evolution p-Laplacian Equation in Unbounded Space

In this paper,an equivalence relation between the ω-limit set of initial values and the ω-limit set of solutions is established for the Cauchy problem of evolution p-Laplacian equation in the unbounded space Yσ(RN).To overcome the difficulties caused by the nonlinearity of the equation and the unbounded solutions,we establish the propagation estimate and the growth estimate for the solutions.It will be demonstrated that the equivalence relation can be used to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions.     

Asymptotic Behavior at Infinity of Solutions to the Nonhomogeneous Sobolev Equation

Under study is the asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions to the Cauchy problem to the nonhomogeneous Sobolev equation. We obtain the form of the limit function and the convergence rate.     

Quasi-classical asymptotics of solutions to the matrix factorization problem with quadratically oscillating off-diagonal elements

The paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the 2 × 2 matrix factorization (Riemann-Hilbert) problem with rapidly oscillating off-diagonal elements and quadratic phase function. A new approach to study such problems based on the ideas of the stationary phase method and M. G. Krein’s theory is proposed. The problem is model for investigating the asymptotic behavior of solutions to factorization problems with several turning points. Power-order complete asymptotic expansions for solutions to the problem under consideration are found. These asymptotics are used to construct asymptotics for solutions to the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation at large times.     

Complicated asymptotic behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of Cahn–Hilliard equation

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the Cahn–Hilliard equation, and first reveal that the complicated asymptotic behavior of solutions can happen in high-order parabolic equation.     

Asymptotic behavior of nonlinear sound waves in inviscid media with thermal and molecular relaxation

Nonlinear sound propagation through media with thermal and molecular relaxation can be modeled by third-order in time wave-like equations with memory. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a Cauchy problem for such a model, the nonlocal Jordan–Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation, in the so-called critical case, which corresponds to propagation through inviscid fluids or gases. The memory has an exponentially fading character and type I, meaning that involves only the acoustic velocity potential. A major challenge in studying global behavior is that the linearized equation’s decay estimates are of regularity-loss type. As a result, the classical energy methods fail to work for the nonlinear problem. To overcome this difficulty, we construct appropriate time-weighted norms, where weights can have negative exponents. These problem-tailored norms create artificial damping terms that help control the nonlinearity and the loss of derivatives, and ultimately allow us to discover the model’s asymptotic behavior.     

Global solutions and finite time blow up for damped Klein-Gordon equation

We study the Cauchy problem of strongly damped Klein-Gordon equation. Global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions with initial data in the potential well are derived. Moreover, not only does finite time blow up with initial data in the unstable set is proved, but also blow up results with arbitrary positive initial energy are obtained.     

Applications of Tauberian theorems in some problems in mathematical physics

We give some multidimensional Tauberian theorems for generalized functions and show examples of their application in mathematical physics. In particular, we consider the problems of stabilizing the solutions of the Cauchy problem for the heat kernel equation, multicomponent gas diffusion, and the asymptotic Cauchy problem for a free Schrödinger equation in the norms of different Banach spaces among others.     

Very Singular Solutions for Thin Film Equations with Absorption

The large-time behavior of weak nonnegative and sign changing solutions of the fourth-order thin film equation (TFE-4) with absorption where    n  ∈ (0, 3)   and the absorption exponent  p  belongs to the  subcritical  range is studied. First, the standard free-boundary problem with zero-height, zero contact angle, and zero-flux conditions at the interface and bounded compactly supported initial data is considered. Very singular similarity solutions (VSSs) have the form Here  f  solves the quasi-linear degenerate elliptic equation that becomes an ODE for    N  = 1   or in the radial setting in      . By a combination of analytical, asymptotic, and numerical methods, existence of various branches of similarity profiles  f  parameterized by  p  is established. Secondly, changing sign VSSs of the Cauchy problem are described.
This study is motivated by the detailed VSS results for the second-order porous medium equation with absorption   ( u  ≥ 0)  which have been known since the 1980s.     

Entropy solutions to the Verigin ultraparabolic problem

We study the Cauchy problem for the two-dimensional ultraparabolic model of filtration of a viscous incompressible fluid containing an admixture, with diffusion of the admixture in a porous medium taken into account. The porous medium consists of the fibers directed along some vector field n ^⊥. We prove that if the nonlinearity in the equations of the model and the geometric structure of fibers satisfy some additional “genuine nonlinearity” condition then the Cauchy problem with bounded initial data has at least one entropy solution and the fast oscillating regimes possible in the initial data are promptly suppressed in the entropy solutions. The proofs base on the introduction and systematic study of the kinetic equation associated with the problem as well as on application of the modification of Tartar H-measures which was proposed by Panov.     

Optimal lower bound of the grow-up rate for a supercritical parabolic equation

We study the behavior of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a supercritical semilinear parabolic equation which approach a singular steady state from below as t→∞. It is known that the grow-up rate of such solutions depends on the spatial decay rate of initial data. We give an optimal lower bound on the grow-up rate by using a comparison technique based on a formal asymptotic analysis.     

On the asymptotic behavior of the energy for the wave equations with time depending coefficients

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the total energy of solutions to the Cauchy problem for wave equations with time dependent propagation speed. The main purpose of this paper is that the asymptotic behavior of the total energy is dominated by the following properties of the coefficient: order of the differentiability, behavior of the derivatives as t → ∞ and stabilization of the amplitude described by an integral. Moreover, the optimality of these properties are ensured by actual examples.
