Blowup and decay behavior of solutions to the generalized Boussinesq‐type equation with strong damping

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the generalized Boussinesq‐type equation with strong damping. By defining a suitable solution space with time‐weighted norms and under smallness condition on the initial data, we establish the global existence and decay property of the solutions. Under certain conditions on the initial data, we also provide blowup of the solutions.     

Dynamics for controlled 2-D Boussinesq systems with distributed controls

The long-time behavior of solutions for an optimal distributed control problem associated with the Boussinesq equations is studied. First, a quasi-optimal solution for the Boussinesq equations is constructed; this quasi-optimal solution possesses the decay (in time) properties. Then, some preliminary estimates for the long-time behavior of all solutions of the Boussinesq equations are derived. Next, the existence of a solution for the optimal control problem is proved. Finally, the long-time decay properties for the optimal solutions is established.     

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 regularity for a two‐dimensional nonlinear Boussinesq system

On the asymptotic behavior of solution for the generalized IBq equation with Stokes damped term

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the generalized improved Boussinesq equation with Stokes damped term in n-dimensional space. We observe that the dissipative structure of the linearized equation is of the regularity-loss type. This means that we have the optimal decay estimates of solutions under the additional regularity assumption on the initial data. Based on the decay estimates of solutions to the corresponding linear equation and smallness condition on the initial data, we prove the global existence and asymptotic of the small amplitude solution in the time-weighted Sobolev space by the contraction mapping principle.     

Stationary statistical properties of Rayleigh‐Bénard convection at large Prandtl number

This is the third in a series of our study of Rayleigh‐Bénard convection at large Prandtl number. Here we investigate whether stationary statistical properties of the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection at large Prandtl number are related to those of the infinite Prandtl number model for convection that is formally derived from the Boussinesq system via setting the Prandtl number to infinity. We study asymptotic behavior of stationary statistical solutions, or invariant measures, to the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection at large Prandtl number. In particular, we show that the invariant measures of the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection converge to those of the infinite Prandtl number model for convection as the Prandtl number approaches infinity. We also show that the Nusselt number for the Boussinesq system (a specific statistical property of the system) is asymptotically bounded by the Nusselt number of the infinite Prandtl number model for convection at large Prandtl number. We discover that the Nusselt numbers are saturated by ergodic invariant measures. Moreover, we derive a new upper bound on the Nusselt number for the Boussinesq system at large Prandtl number of the form which asymptotically agrees with the (optimal) upper bound on Nusselt number for the infinite Prandtl number model for convection. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Well-posedness and scattering of solutions to the sixth-order Boussinesq type equation in the framework of modulation spaces

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem for the sixth order Boussinesq type equation in the framework of modulation spaces. Under suitable conditions, we first prove that the problem has a unique local solutions and global solutions. Then scattering and stability of solutions are also discussed. The proof is mainly based on the decay properties of the solutions operator in modulation spaces and the contraction mapping principle.     

Some properties of a class of abstract stationary equations

We study a class of abstract nonlinear equations in a separable Hilbert space for which we prove some generic properties of the set of solutions. The results apply, in particular, in several models of hydrodynamics, such as magneto-micropolar equations, micropolar fluid equations, Boussinesq and Navier–Stokes equations.     

On the suitable weak solutions to the Boussinesq equations in a bounded domain

In this paper we construct the suitable weak solution for the initial-boundary value problem of the Boussinesq equations and obtain some properties for these solutions. Also in the case of a two dimensional space the uniqueness of weak solution is proved.     

Convective Linear Stability of Solitary Waves for Boussinesq Equations

Boussinesq was the first to explain the existence of Scott Russell's solitary wave mathematically. He employed a variety of asymptotically equivalent equations to describe water waves in the small-amplitude, long-wave regime. We study the linearized stability of solitary waves for three linearly well-posed Boussinesq models. These are problems for which well-developed Lyapunov methods of stability analysis appear to fail. However, we are able to analyze the eigenvalue problem for small-amplitude solitary waves, by comparison to the equation that Boussinesq himself used to describe the solitary wave, which is now called the Korteweg–de Vries equation. With respect to a weighted norm designed to diminish as perturbations convect away from the wave profile, we prove that nonzero eigenvalues are absent in a half-plane of the form R λ>− b for some b >0, for all three Boussinesq models. This result is used to prove the decay of solutions of the evolution equations linearized about the solitary wave, in two of the models. This "convective linear stability" property has played a central role in the proof of nonlinear asymptotic stability of solitary-wave-like solutions in other systems.

Persistence properties and wave‐breaking criteria for the Geng‐Xue system

Considered herein is a two‐component Novikov equations (called Geng‐Xue system for short) with cubic nonlinearities. The persistence properties and some unique continuation properties of the solutions to the system in weighted L_p spaces are established. Moreover, a wave‐breaking criterion for strong solutions is determined in the lowest Sobolev space by using the localization analysis in the transport equation theory, and we also give a lower bound for the maximal existence time.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of nonlinear wave equations of sixth order with damping

We investigate the initial value problem for a class of nonlinear wave equations of sixth order with damping. The decay structure of this equation is of the regularity‐loss type, which causes difficulty in high‐frequency region. By using the Fourier splitting frequency technique and energy method in Fourier space, we establish asymptotic profiles of solutions to the linear equation that is given by the convolution of the fundamental solutions of heat and free wave equation. Moreover, the asymptotic profile of solutions shows the decay estimate of solutions to the corresponding linear equation obtained in this paper that is optimal under some conditions. Finally, global existence and optimal decay estimate of solutions to this equation are also established. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The eigenvalue problem for solitary waves of a boussinesq equation,via a generalization of the rouché theorem

We consider the study of an eigenvalue problem obtained by linearizing about solitary wave solutions of a Boussinesq equation. Instead of using the technique of Evans functions as done by Pego and Weinstein in [R. Pego and M. Weinstein, Convective Linear Stability of Solitary Waves for Boussinesq equation. AMS, 99, 311–375] for this particular problem, we perform Fourier analysis to characterize solutions of the eigenvalue problem in terms of a multiplier operator and use the strong relationship between the eigenvalue problem for the linearized Boussinesq equation and the eigenvalue problem associated with the linearization about solitary wave solutions of a special form of the KdV equation. By using a generalization of the Rouché Theorem and the asymptotic behavior of the Fourier symbol corresponding to the eigenvalues problem for the Boussinesq equation and the Fourier symbol corresponding to the eigenvalues problem for the KdV equation, we show nonexistence of eigenvalues with respect to weighted space in a planar region containing the right-half plane.     

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,asymptotic stability and blow-up of solutions for the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear boundary condition

In this paper, we consider initial boundary value problem of the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear interior source and boundary absorptive terms. We establish firstly the local existence of solutions by standard Galerkin method. Then we prove both the global existence of the solution and a general decay of the energy functions under some restrictions on the initial data. We also prove a blow-up result for solutions with positive and negative initial energy respectively.     

Decay property of Timoshenko system in thermoelasticity

We investigate the decay property of a Timoshenko system of thermoelasticity in the whole space for both Fourier and Cattaneo laws of heat conduction. We point out that although the paradox of infinite propagation speed inherent in the Fourier law is removed by changing to the Cattaneo law, the latter always leads to a solution with the decay property of the regularity‐loss type. The main tool used to prove our results is the energy method in the Fourier space together with some integral estimates. We derive L² decay estimates of solutions and observe that for the Fourier law the decay structure of solutions is of the regularity‐loss type if the wave speeds of the first and the second equations in the system are different. For the Cattaneo law, decay property of the regularity‐loss type occurs no matter what the wave speeds are. In addition, by restricting the initial data to with a suitably large s and γ ∈ [0,1], we can derive faster decay estimates with the decay rate improvement by a factor of t^?γ/2.

Prohibitions caused by nonlocality for nonlocal Boussinesq‐KdV type systems

It is found that two different celebrate models, the Korteweg de‐Vrise (KdV) equation and the Boussinesq equation, are linked to a same model equation but with different nonlocalities. The nonlocal KdV equation can be derived in two ways, via the so‐called consistent correlated bang companied by the parity and time reversal from the local KdV equation and via the parity and time reversal symmetry reduction from a coupled local KdV system which is a two‐layer fluid model. The same model can be called as the nonlocal Boussinesq system if the nonlocality is changed as only one of parity and time reversal. The nonlocal Boussinesq equation can be derived via the parity or time reversal symmetry reduction from the local Boussinesq equation. For the nonlocal Boussinesq equation, with help of the bilinear approach and recasting the multisoliton solutions of the usual Boussinesq equation to an equivalent novel form, the multisoliton solutions with even numbers and the head on interactions are obtained. However, the multisoliton solutions with odd numbers and the multisoliton solutions with even numbers but with pursuant interactions are prohibited. For the nonlocal KdV equation, the multisoliton solutions exhibit many more structures because an arbitrary odd function of can be introduced as background waves of the usual KdV equation.
