Piecewise multiplier method and nonlinear integral inequalities for Petrowsky equation with nonlinear dissipation

This work is concerned with obtention of energy decay estimates for Petrowsky equation with a nonlinear dissipation which is active only in an interior subset of the domain. We prove that the piecewise multiplier method as introduced by [20] and [22] for the wave equation can be extended to the Petrowsky equation. Moreover, we also apply some recent results by the author to obtain precise decay rate estimates for the energy, without specifying the growth of the nonlinear dissipation close to the origin by means of convex properties and nonlinear integral inequalities for the energy of the solutions.

Radially symmetric solutions of the p-Laplacian in perforated-like domain with nonlocal boundary condition

In this paper, we study the stability of solutions to a von Kármán system for Kirchhoff plate equations with a memory condition working at the boundary. We show that such dissipation is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution provided the relaxation functions also decay exponentially. When the relaxation functions decay polynomially, we show that the solution decays polynomially.     

On the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effects and memory boundary conditions

In this paper we study the existence of weak and strong global solutions and uniform decay of the energy to the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effect and memory conditions working at the boundary. We show that the dissipation produced by the memory effect not depend on the present values of temperature gradient. That is, we show that the dissipation produced by memory effect is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution provided the relaxation functions also decays exponentially. When the relaxation functions decays polynomially, we show that the solution decays polynomially with the same rate.

Decay property for second order hyperbolic systems of viscoelastic materials

We study a class of second order hyperbolic systems with dissipation which describes viscoelastic materials. The considered dissipation is given by the sum of the memory term and the damping term. When the dissipation is effective over the whole system, we show that the solution decays in L² at the rate t−n/4 as t→∞, provided that the corresponding initial data are in L²∩L¹, where n is the space dimension. The proof is based on the energy method in the Fourier space. Also, we discuss similar systems with weaker dissipation by introducing the operator (1−Δ)^−θ/2 with θ>0 in front of the dissipation terms and observe that the decay structure of these systems is of the regularity-loss type.     

Characterization of partially dissipated solitons in a traveling-wave field-effect transistor

We investigate the Korteweg–de Vries equation with nonlinear dissipation, which becomes finite only for small field intensities. Using the perturbation theory based on the inverse scattering transform, we evaluate the amplitude and the phase of both one- and two-soliton solutions to show that large solitons can travel without significant amplitude decay over a long distance. We then develop a traveling-wave field-effect transistor (TWFET) that supports such partially dissipated solitons. Using both the numerical and experimental characterization of a TWFET, we validate the properties of partially dissipated solitons.     

Study of magnetosonic solitary waves for the electron magnetohydrodynamics equations

Electron magnetohydrodynamics equations are derived with allowance for nonlinearity, dispersion, and dissipation caused by friction between the ions and electrons. These equations are transformed into a form convenient for the construction of a numerical scheme. The interaction of codirectional and oppositely directed magnetosonic solitary waves with no dissipation is computed. In the first case, the solitary waves are found to behave as solitons (i.e., their amplitudes after the interaction remain the same), while, in the second case, waves are emitted that lead to decreased amplitudes. The decay of a solitary wave due to dissipation is computed. In the case of weak dissipation, the solution is similar to that of the Riemann problem with a structure combining a discontinuity and a solitary wave. The decay of a solitary wave due to dispersion is also computed, in which case the solution can also be interpreted as one with a discontinuity. The decay of a solitary wave caused by the combined effect of dissipation and dispersion is analyzed.     

Uniqueness of the weak solution to the fractional anisotropic Navier‐Stokes equations

Optimal time decay of the Boltzmann equation with frictional force

In this paper, we use the combination of energy method and Fourier analysis to obtain the optimal time decay of the Boltzmann equation with frictional force towards equilibrium. Precisely speaking, we decompose the equation into macroscopic and microscopic partitions and perform the energy estimation. Then, we construct a special solution operator to a linearized equation without source term and use Fourier analysis to obtain the optimal decay rate to this solution operator. Finally, combining the decay rate with the energy estimation for nonlinear terms, the optimal decay rate to the Boltzmann equation with frictional force is established.     

On the decay of solutions in nonsimple elastic solids with memory

The decay of solutions in nonsimple elasticity with memory is addressed, analyzing how the decay rate is influenced by the different dissipation mechanisms appearing in the equations. In particular, a first order dissipation is shown to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the related solution semigroup, but is not strong enough to entail exponential stability. The latter occurs for a dissipation mechanism of the second order, that is, the same order as the one of the leading operator.

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.

The Transmission Problem of Viscoelastic Waves

In this paper we consider the transmission problem of viscoelastic waves. That is, we study the wave propagations over materials consisting of elastic and viscoelastic components. We show that for this types of materials the dissipation produced by the viscoelastic part is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution, no matter how small is its size. We also show that the linear model is well posed.

General decay of solutions in one-dimensional porous-elastic system with memory

In this work we consider a one-dimensional porous-elastic system with memory effects. It is well-known that porous-elastic system with a single dissipation mechanism lacks exponential decay. In contrary, we prove that the unique dissipation given by the memory term is strong enough to exponentially stabilize the system, depending on the kernel of the memory term and the wave speeds of the system. In fact, we prove a general decay result, for which exponential and polynomial decay results are special cases. Our result is new and improves previous results in the literature.     

Qualitative Analysis and Travelling Wave Solutions for the Generalized Pochhammer–Chree Equation with a Dissipation Term

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the influence of dissipation on travelling wave solutions of the generalized Pochhammer–Chree equation with a dissipation term, and provides travelling wave solutions for this equation. Applying the theory of planar dynamical systems, we obtain ten global phase portraits of the dynamic system corresponding to this equation under various parameter conditions. Moreover, we present the relations between the properties of travelling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient r of this equation. We find that a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a bell profile solitary wave solution or a periodic travelling wave solution when r= 0; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when |r| > 0 is large; a bounded travelling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when |r| > 0 is small. Further, by using undetermined coefficient method, we get all possible bell profile solitary wave solutions and approximate damped oscillatory solutions for this equation. Error estimates indicate that the approximate solutions are meaningful.     

A boundary condition with memory in elasticity

A unified approach via convexity for optimal energy decay rates of finite and infinite dimensional vibrating damped systems with applications to semi-discretized vibrating damped systems

The Liapunov method is celebrated for its strength to establish strong decay of solutions of damped equations. Extensions to infinite dimensional settings have been studied by several authors (see e.g. Haraux, 1991 [11], and Komornik and Zuazua, 1990 [17] and references therein). Results on optimal energy decay rates under general conditions of the feedback is far from being complete. The purpose of this paper is to show that general dissipative vibrating systems have structural properties due to dissipation. We present a general approach based on convexity arguments to establish sharp optimal or quasi-optimal upper energy decay rates for these systems, and on comparison principles based on the dissipation property, and interpolation inequalities (in the infinite dimensional case) for lower bounds of the energy. We stress the fact that this method works for finite as well as infinite dimensional vibrating systems and as well as for applications to semi-discretized nonlinear damped vibrating PDE's. A part of this approach has been introduced in Alabau-Boussouira (2004, 2005) [1] and [2]. In the present paper, we identify a new, simple and explicit criteria to select a class of nonlinear feedbacks, for which we prove a simplified explicit energy decay formula comparatively to the more general but also more complex formula we give in Alabau-Boussouira (2004, 2005) [1] and [2]. Moreover, we prove optimality of the decay rates for this class, in the finite dimensional case. This class includes a wide range of feedbacks, ranging from very weak nonlinear dissipation (exponentially decaying in a neighborhood of zero), to polynomial, or polynomial-logarithmic decaying feedbacks at the origin. In the infinite dimensional case, we establish a comparison principle on the energy of sufficiently smooth solutions through the dissipation relation. This principle relies on suitable interpolation inequalities. It allows us to give lower bounds for the energy of smooth initial data for the one-dimensional wave equation with a distributed polynomial damping, which improves Haraux (1995) [12] lower estimate of the energy for this case. We also establish lower bounds in the multi-dimensional case for sufficiently smooth solutions when such solutions exist. We further mention applications of these various results to several classes of PDE's, namely: the locally and boundary damped multi-dimensional wave equation, the locally damped plate equation and the globally damped coupled Timoshenko beams system but it applies to several other examples. Furthermore, we show that these optimal energy decay results apply to finite dimensional systems obtained from spatial discretization of infinite dimensional damped systems. We illustrate these results on the one-dimensional locally damped wave and plate equations discretized by finite differences and give the optimal energy decay rates for these two examples. These optimal rates are not uniform with respect to the discretization parameter. We also discuss and explain why optimality results have to be stated differently for feedbacks close to linear behavior at the origin.
