Upper bounds of the rates of decay for solutions of the Boussinesq equations

In this paper,upper bounds of the L2-decay rate for the Boussinesq equations are considered.Using the L2 decay rate of solutions for the heat equation,and assuming that the solutions of the Boussinesq equations are smooth,we obtain the upper bounds of L2 decay rate for the smooth solutions and difference between the solutions of the Boussinesq equations and those of the heat system with the same initial data.The decay results may then be obtained by passing to the limit of approximating sequences of solutions.The main tool is the Fourier splitting method.     

Global existence and convergence rates of smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and convergence rates of the smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in R³. We prove the global existence of the smooth solutions by the standard energy method under the condition that the initial data are close to the constant equilibrium state in H³-framework. Moreover, if additionally the initial data belong to L^p with , the optimal convergence rates of the solutions in L^q-norm with 2≤q≤6 and its spatial derivatives in L²-norm are obtained.     

On the decay and stability of global solutions to the 3‐D inhomogeneous Navier‐Stokes equations

In this paper, we investigate the large‐time decay and stability to any given global smooth solutions of the 3‐D incompressible inhomogeneous Navier‐Stokes equations. In particular, we prove that given any global smooth solution (a,u) of (1.2), the velocity field u decays to 0 with an explicit rate, which coincides with the L² norm decay for the weak solutions of the 3‐D classical Navier‐Stokes system [26,29] as t goes to ∞. Moreover, a small perturbation to the initial data of (a,u) still generates a unique global smooth solution to (1.2), and this solution keeps close to the reference solution (a,u) for t > 0. We should point out that the main results in this paper work for large solutions of (1.2). © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

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.     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND LONG-TIME BEHAVIOR FOR THE STRONG SOLUTIONS IN H2 TO THE 3D COMPRESSIBLE NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTAL FLOWS

In this paper, we investigate the global existence and long time behavior of strong solutions for compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in three-dimensional whole space. The global existence of strong solutions is obtained by the standard energy method under the condition that the initial datas are close to the constant equilibrium state in H²-framework. If the initial datas in L¹-norm are finite additionally, the optimal time decay rates of strong solutions are established. With the help of Fourier splitting method, one also establishes optimal time decay rates for the higher order spatial derivatives of director.     

Global Existence and Convergence Rates of Smooth Solutions for the 3-D Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Equations Without Heat Conductivity

In this paper, we are concerned with the global existence and convergence rates of the smooth solutions for the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations without heat conductivity, which is a hyperbolic-parabolic system. The global solutions are obtained by combining the local existence and a priori estimates if H³-norm of the initial perturbation around a constant states is small enough and its L¹-norm is bounded. A priori decay-in-time estimates on the pressure, velocity and magnetic field are used to get the uniform bound of entropy. Moreover, the optimal convergence rates are also obtained.     

Global analysis for strong solutions to the equations of a ferrofluid flow model

In this paper we are concerned with the differential system proposed by Shliomis to describe the motion of an incompressible ferrofluid submitted to an external magnetic field. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, the magnetization equations and the magnetostatic equations. No regularizing term is added to the magnetization equations. We prove the local existence of unique strong solution for the Cauchy problem and establish a finite time blow-up criterion of strong solutions. Under the smallness assumption of the initial data and the external magnetic field, we prove the global existence of strong solutions and derive a decay rate of such small solutions in L²-norm.     

Quasi-steady-state approximation for a reaction-diffusion system with fast intermediate

We consider a prototype reaction-diffusion system which models a network of two consecutive reactions in which chemical components A and B form an intermediate C which decays into two products P and Q. Such a situation often occurs in applications and in the typical case when the intermediate is highly reactive, the species C is eliminated from the system by means of a quasi-steady-state approximation. In this paper, we prove the convergence of the solutions in L², as the decay rate of the intermediate tends to infinity, for all bounded initial data, even in the case of initial boundary layers. The limiting system is indeed the one which results from formal application of the QSSA. The proof combines the recent L²-approach to reaction-diffusion systems having at most quadratic reaction terms, with local L^∞-bounds which are independent of the decay rate of the intermediate. We also prove existence of global classical solutions to the initial system.     

On the Global Solution of a 3‐D MHD System with Initial Data near Equilibrium

In this paper, we prove the global existence of smooth solutions to the three‐dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamical system with initial data close enough to the equilibrium state, (e₃,0). Compared with previous works by Lin, Xu, and Zhang and by Xu and Zhang, here we present a new Lagrangian formulation of the system, which is a damped wave equation and which is nondegenerate only in the direction of the initial magnetic field. Furthermore, we remove the admissible condition on the initial magnetic field, which was required in the earlier works. By using the Frobenius theorem and anisotropic Littlewood‐Paley theory for the Lagrangian formulation of the system, we achieve the global L¹‐in‐time Lipschitz estimate of the velocity field, which allows us to conclude the global existence of solutions to this system. In the case when the initial magnetic field is a constant vector, the large‐time decay rate of the solution is also obtained.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Existence and stability of planar diffusion waves for 2-D Euler equations with damping

To study the non-linear stability of a non-trivial profile for a multi-dimensional systems of gas dynamics, the combination of the Green function on estimating the lower order derivatives and the energy method for the higher order derivatives is shown to be not only useful but sometimes maybe also essential. In this paper, we study the stability of a planar diffusion wave for the isentropic Euler equations with damping in two-dimensional space. By introducing an approximate Green function for the linearized equations around the planar diffusion wave and by applying the energy method, we prove the global existence and the L₂ convergence rate of the solution when the initial data is a small perturbation of the planar diffusion wave. The decay rates of the perturbation and its lower order spatial derivatives obtained are optimal in the L₂ norm. Furthermore, the constructed approximate Green function in this paper can be used for the pointwise and the Lp estimates of the solutions concerned. In fact, the approach by combining of the Green function and energy method can be applied to other system especially when the derivatives of the coefficients in the system have certain time decay properties.     

Global existence and convergence rates of smooth solutions for the full compressible MHD equations

In this paper, we consider the global smooth solutions and their decay for the full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in R ³. We prove the global existence of smooth solutions near the constant state in Sobolev norms by energy method and show the convergence rates of the L ^p -norm of these solutions to the constant state when the L ^q -norm of the perturbation is bounded.     

Lp estimates of solutions of some partial differential equations

The author is concerned with the long time asymptotic behaviors of the global weak solutions of some nonlinear evolution equations. First of all, he derives some uniform L¹ and L^∞ upper bounds for the solutions, under some mild conditions. Then, by applying the well-known Fourier splitting method and the L¹ estimates, he asserts the L² decay estimates of the solutions. The rates of decay are sharp in the sense that the integral of the initial data over $\text{R}$ is nonzero.     

Global dynamics of the Boussinesq‐Burgers system with large initial data

In this paper, we study the global existence and asymptotic behavior of the Boussinesq‐Burgers system subject to the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Based on the L^p(p > 2) estimates of the solution, which are different from the standard L²‐based energy methods, we show that the classical solutions exist globally and converge to their boundary data at an exponential decay rate as time goes to infinity for large initial data.

Global existence for Maxwell-Bloch systems

Maxwell-Bloch equations describe the propagation of an electromagnetic wave through a quantum medium. For any number of quantum levels, in space dimension 3, we show the global existence of weak (L²) solutions to the initial-value problem. In the case of smoother electromagnetic fields (with curl in L²), the solution is unique. For smooth data (H^s, s?2), the solutions remain smooth for all times.     

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.     

Existence and asymptotic behavior for an incompressible Newtonian flow with intrinsic degree of freedom

We consider the Cauchy problem of a mathematical model for an incompressible, homogeneous, Newtonian fluid taking into account internal degrees of freedom. We first show that there exists a unique global strong solution when the given initial data are small in some sense. Then, we deduce the optimal decay rates for velocity vector in L² ? norm and L^p ? norm for p > n. These decay estimates depend only on the spatial dimension and the decay properties of the heat solution with the same data. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Uniform decay rates for the energy of weakly damped defocusing semilinear Schrödinger equations with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary control

In this paper, we study the open loop stabilization as well as the existence and regularity of solutions of the weakly damped defocusing semilinear Schrödinger equation with an inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary control. First of all, we prove the global existence of weak solutions at the H¹-energy level together with the stabilization in the same sense. It is then deduced that the decay rate of the boundary data controls the decay rate of the solutions up to an exponential rate. Secondly, we prove some regularity and stabilization results for the strong solutions in H²-sense. The proof uses the direct multiplier method combined with monotonicity and compactness techniques. The result for weak solutions is strong in the sense that it is independent of the dimension of the domain, the power of the nonlinearity, and the smallness of the initial data. However, the regularity and stabilization of strong solutions are obtained only in low dimensions with small initial and boundary data.     

Global Existence and Blow-up for Semilinear Wave Equations with Variable Coefficients

The authors consider the critical exponent problem for the variable coefficients wave equation with a space dependent potential and source term. For sufficiently small data with compact support, if the power of nonlinearity is larger than the expected exponent, it is proved that there exists a global solution. Furthermore, the precise decay estimates for the energy, L₂ and L^p+1 norms of solutions are also established. In addition, the blow-up of the solutions is proved for arbitrary initial data with compact support when the power of nonlinearity is less than some constant.
