Global analysis of smooth solutions to a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system

We investigate a model arising from biology, which is a hyperbolic- parabolic coupled system. First, we prove the global existence and asymptotic behavior of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem without any smallness assumption on the initial data. Second, if the Hs ∩ Ll-norm of initial data is sufficiently small, we also establish decay rates of the global smooth solutions. In particular, the optimal L2 decay rate of the solution and the almost optimal L2 decay rate of the first-order derivatives of the solution are obtained. These results are obtained by constructing a new nonnegative convex entropy and combining spectral analysis with energy methods.     

Lp-Lq Estimates For Solutions To The Damped Plate Equation In Exterior Domains

We establish the Lp ? Lq estimates for solutions of the damped plate equation in exterior domains with the help of a local energy decay, which is obtained by using the spectral analysis to the corresponding stationary problem.     

Uniform boundary stabilization of the finite difference space discretization of the 1−d wave equation

The energy of solutions of the wave equation with a suitable boundary dissipation decays exponentially to zero as time goes to infinity. We consider the finite-difference space semi-discretization scheme and we analyze whether the decay rate is independent of the mesh size. We focus on the one-dimensional case. First we show that the decay rate of the energy of the classical semi-discrete system in which the 1?d Laplacian is replaced by a three-point finite difference scheme is not uniform with respect to the net-spacing size h. Actually, the decay rate tends to zero as h goes to zero. Then we prove that adding a suitable vanishing numerical viscosity term leads to a uniform (with respect to the mesh size) exponential decay of the energy of solutions. This numerical viscosity term damps out the high frequency numerical spurious oscillations while the convergence of the scheme towards the original damped wave equation is kept. Our method of proof relies essentially on discrete multiplier techniques.     

On decay and blow-up of the solution for a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms

In this paper we consider the decay and blow-up properties of a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms. We first extend the decay result (for the case of linear damping) obtained by Lu et al. (On a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms: Global existence and decay of the solution, Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications 12 (1) (2011), 295-303) to the nonlinear damping case under weaker assumption on the relaxation function g(t). Then, we give an exponential decay result without the relation between g^′(t) and g(t) for the linear damping case, provided that ‖g‖_L¹(0,∞) is small enough. Finally, we establish two blow-up results: one is for certain solutions with nonpositive initial energy as well as positive initial energy for both the linear and nonlinear damping cases, the other is for certain solutions with arbitrarily positive initial energy for the linear damping case.     

Asymptotics in nonlinear evolution system with dissipation and ellipticity on quadrant

In this paper, we consider an initial boundary value problem for some nonlinear evolution system with dissipation and ellipticity. We establish the global existence and furthermore obtain the Lp (p?2) decay rates of solutions corresponding to diffusion waves. The analysis is based on the energy method and pointwise estimates.

Existence and general decay for nondissipative distributed systems with boundary frictional and memory dampings and acoustic boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the existence and general energy decay rate of global solutions for nondissipative distributed systems

$$u''-\triangle u+h(\nabla u)=0$$

with boundary frictional and memory dampings and acoustic boundary conditions. For the existence of solutions, we prove the global existence of weak solution by using Faedo–Galerkin’s method and compactness arguments. For the energy decay rate, we first consider the general nonlinear case of h satisfying a smallness condition and prove the general energy decay rate by using perturbed modified energy method. Then, we consider the linear case of h: \({h(\nabla u)=-\nabla\phi\cdot\nabla u}\) and prove the general decay estimates of equivalent energy.

     

Global a priori estimates for the inhomogeneous Landau equation with moderately soft potentials

We establish a priori upper bounds for solutions to the spatially inhomogeneous Landau equation in the case of moderately soft potentials, with arbitrary initial data, under the assumption that mass, energy and entropy densities stay under control. Our pointwise estimates decay polynomially in the velocity variable. We also show that if the initial data satisfies a Gaussian upper bound, this bound is propagated for all positive times.

Asymptotic Behavior of Massless Dirac Waves in Schwarzschild Geometry

In this paper, we show that massless Dirac waves in the Schwarzschild geometry decay to zero at a rate t ^?2λ , where λ = 1, 2, . . . is the angular momentum. Our technique is to use Chandrasekhar’s separation of variables whereby the Dirac equations split into two sets of wave equations. For the first set, we show that the wave decays as t ^?2λ . For the second set, in general, the solutions tend to some explicit profile at the rate t ^?2λ . The decay rate of solutions of Dirac equations is achieved by showing that the coefficient of the explicit profile is exactly zero. The key ingredients in the proof of the decay rate of solutions for the first set of wave equations are an energy estimate used to show the absence of bound states and zero energy resonance and the analysis of the spectral representation of the solutions. The proof of asymptotic behavior for the solutions of the second set of wave equations relies on careful analysis of the Green’s functions for time independent Schrödinger equations associated with these wave equations.     

Fermi-Dirac-Fokker-Planck equation: Well-posedness & long-time asymptotics

A Fokker-Planck type equation for interacting particles with exclusion principle is analyzed. The nonlinear drift gives rise to mathematical difficulties in controlling moments of the distribution function. Assuming enough initial moments are finite, we can show the global existence of weak solutions for this problem. The natural associated entropy of the equation is the main tool to derive uniform in time a priori estimates for the kinetic energy and entropy. As a consequence, long-time asymptotics in L¹ are characterized by the Fermi-Dirac equilibrium with the same initial mass. This result is achieved without rate for any constructed global solution and with exponential rate due to entropy/entropy-dissipation arguments for initial data controlled by Fermi-Dirac distributions. Finally, initial data below radial solutions with suitable decay at infinity lead to solutions for which the relative entropy towards the Fermi-Dirac equilibrium is shown to converge to zero without decay rate.     

Polynomial energy decay rate and strong stability of Kirchhoff plates with non-compact resolvent

Decay estimates for homogeneous Boussinesq equations in a semi-infinite pipe

In this paper, we establish the spatial decay bounds for homogeneous Boussinesq equations in a semi-infinite pipe flow. Assuming that the entrance velocity and magnetic field data are restricted appropriately, and it converges to laminar flow as the distance down the pipe tends to infinity, we derive a second order differential inequality that leads to an exponential decay estimate for the energy E(z,t) defined in (27). We also indicate how to establish the explicit bound for the total energy.     

Optimal decay rates for the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system that models the motions of the compressible isothermal viscous capillary fluids. We prove the optimal L² and Lp, p?2 decay rates for the classical solutions and their spatial derivatives. In particular, the optimal L² decay rate of the second-order spatial derivatives is obtained. The proof is based on the detailed study of the linear decay estimates and nonlinear energy estimates.

In this paper we analyze from the mathematical point of view a model for small vertical vibrations of an elastic string with fixed ends and the density of the material being not constant. We employ techniques of functional analysis, mainly a theorem of compactness for the analysis of the approximation of Faedo-Galerkin method. We obtain strong global solutions with restrictions on the initial data u₀ and u₁, uniqueness of solutions and a rate decay estimate for the energy.     

Diffraction of a pulse by a strip

In this paper we consider the problem of diffraction of a normally incident plane pulse by a strip. We use the method of Laplace transformation.

Estimates of Wiman–Valiron type for evolution equations

We establish estimates of Wiman–Valiron type for solutions of evolution equations with a pseudodifferential operator of the Hörmander class in a Hilbert space. Estimates of this type characterize the behavior of the solution of the problem as t→∞ or t → 0 depending on the decay or growth rate of the Fourier coefficients of the initial data.     

Rate of decay of solutions of the wave equation with arbitrary localized nonlinear damping

We study the rate of decay of solutions of the wave equation with localized nonlinear damping without any growth restriction and without any assumption on the dynamics. Providing regular initial data, the asymptotic decay rates of the energy functional are obtained by solving nonlinear ODE. Moreover, we give explicit uniform decay rates of the energy. More precisely, we find that the energy decays uniformly at last, as fast as 1/(ln(t+2))^2−δ,∀δ>0, when the damping has a polynomial growth or sublinear, and for an exponential damping at the origin the energy decays at last, as fast as 1/(ln(ln(t+e²)))^2−δ,∀δ>0.
