The optimal decay estimates for the Euler-Poisson two-fluid system

This work is devoted to the optimal decay problem for the Euler-Poisson two-fluid system, which is a classical hydrodynamic model arising in semiconductor sciences. By exploring the influence of the electronic field on the dissipative structure, it is first revealed that the \textit{irrotationality} plays a key role such that the two-fluid system has the same dissipative structure as generally hyperbolic systems satisfying the Shizuta-Kawashima condition. The fact inspires us to give a new decay framework which pays less attention on the traditional spectral analysis. Furthermore, various decay estimates of solution and its derivatives of fractional order on the framework of Besov spaces are obtained by time-weighted energy approaches in terms of low-frequency and high-frequency decompositions. As direct consequences, the optimal decay rates of $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{3})$-$L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})(1\leq p<2)$ type for the Euler-Poisson two-fluid system are also shown.Comment: 40pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1402.468

Relaxation limit in larger Besov spaces for compressible Euler equations

The work is devoted to the relaxation limit in larger Besov spaces for compressible Euler equations, which contains previous results in Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces with critical regularity. Such an extension depends on a revision of commutator estimates and an elementary fact which indicates the connection between homogeneous and inhomogeneous Chemin-Lerner spaces

Traveling waves for models of phase transitions of solids driven by configurational forces

This article is concerned with the existence of traveling wave solutions, including standing waves, to some models based on configurational forces, describing respectively the diffusionless phase transformations of solid materials, e.g., Steel, and phase transitions due to interface motion by interface diffusion, e.g., Sintering. These models are recently proposed by Alber and Zhu. We consider both the order-parameter-conserved case and the non-conserved one, under suitable assumptions. Also we compare our results with the corresponding ones for the Allen-Cahn and the Cahn-Hilliard equations coupled with linear elasticity, which are models for diffusion-dominated phase transformations in elastic solids.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur

The optimal decay estimates on the framework of Besov spaces for generally dissipative systems

We give a new decay framework for general dissipative hyperbolic system and hyperbolic-parabolic composite system, which allow us to pay less attention on the traditional spectral analysis in comparison with previous efforts. New ingredients lie in the high-frequency and low-frequency decomposition of a pseudo-differential operator and an interpolation inequality related to homogeneous Besov spaces of negative order. Furthermore, we develop the Littlewood-Paley pointwise energy estimates and new time-weighted energy functionals to establish the optimal decay estimates on the framework of spatially critical Besov spaces for degenerately dissipative hyperbolic system of balance laws. Based on the $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ embedding and improved Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, the optimal $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-$L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})(1\leq p<2)$ decay rates and $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-$L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})(1\leq p<2\leq q\leq\infty)$ decay rates are further shown. Finally, as a direct application, the optimal decay rates for 3D damped compressible Euler equations are also obtained.Comment: 51page

Global Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions for Quasi-linear Dissipative Plate Equation

In this paper we focus on the initial value problem for quasi-linear dissipative plate equation in multi-dimensional space $(n\geq2)$. This equation verifies the decay property of the regularity-loss type, which causes the difficulty in deriving the global a priori estimates of solutions. We overcome this difficulty by employing a time-weighted $L^2$ energy method which makes use of the integrability of \|(\p^2_xu_t,\p^3_xu)(t)\|_{L^{\infty}}. This $L^\infty$ norm can be controlled by showing the optimal $L^2$ decay estimates for lower-order derivatives of solutions. Thus we obtain the desired a priori estimate which enables us to prove the global existence and asymptotic decay of solutions under smallness and enough regularity assumptions on the initial data. Moreover, we show that the solution can be approximated by a simple-looking function, which is given explicitly in terms of the fundamental solution of a fourth-order linear parabolic equation.Comment: 35 page

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Model System of a Radiating Gas

In this paper we focus on the initial value problem for a hyperbolic-elliptic coupled system of a radiating gas in multi-dimensional space. By using a time-weighted energy method, we obtain the global existence and optimal decay estimates of solutions. Moreover, we show that the solution is asymptotic to the linear diffusion wave which is given in terms of the heat kernel.Comment: 21 page

The frequency-localization technique and minimal decay-regularity for Euler-Maxwell equations

Dissipative hyperbolic systems of \textit{regularity-loss} have been recently received increasing attention. Usually, extra higher regularity is assumed to obtain the optimal decay estimates, in comparison with that for the global-in-time existence of solutions. In this paper, we develop a new frequency-localization time-decay property, which enables us to overcome the technical difficulty and improve the minimal decay-regularity for dissipative systems. As an application, it is shown that the optimal decay rate of $L^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$-$L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ is available for Euler-Maxwell equations with the critical regularity $s_{c}=5/2$, that is, the extra higher regularity is not needed.Comment: 25 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1503.0629

Global existence and optimal decay rates for the Timoshenko system: the case of equal wave speeds

This work first gives the global existence and optimal decay rates of solutions to the classical Timoshenko system on the framework of Besov spaces. Due to the \textit{non-symmetric} dissipation, the general theory for dissipative hyperbolic systems ([30]) can not be applied to the Timoshenko system directly. In the case of equal wave speeds, we construct global solutions to the Cauchy problem pertaining to data in the spatially Besov spaces. Furthermore, the dissipative structure enables us to give a new decay framework which pays less attention on the traditional spectral analysis. Consequently, the optimal decay estimates of solution and its derivatives of fractional order are shown by time-weighted energy approaches in terms of low-frequency and high-frequency decompositions. As a by-product, the usual decay estimate of $L^{1}(\mathbb{R})$-$L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$ type is also shown.Comment: 29 page

Decay structure of two hyperbolic relaxation models with regularity-loss

The paper aims at investigating two types of decay structure for linear symmetric hyperbolic systems with non-symmetric relaxation. Precisely, the system is of the type $(p,q)$ if the real part of all eigenvalues admits an upper bound $-c|\xi|^{2p}/(1+|\xi|^2)^{q}$, where $c$ is a generic positive constant and $\xi$ is the frequency variable, and the system enjoys the regularity-loss property if $p<q$. It is well known that the standard type $(1,1)$ can be assured by the classical Kawashima-Shizuta condition. A new structural condition was introduced in \cite{UDK} to analyze the regularity-loss type $(1,2)$ system with non-symmetric relaxation. In the paper, we construct two more complex models of the regularity-loss type corresponding to $p=m-3$, $q=m-2$ and $p=(3m-10)/2$, $q=2(m-3)$, respectively, where $m$ denotes phase dimensions. The proof is based on the delicate Fourier energy method as well as the suitable linear combination of series of energy inequalities. Due to arbitrary higher dimensions, it is not obvious to capture the energy dissipation rate with respect to the degenerate components. Thus, for each model, the analysis always starts from the case of low phase dimensions in order to understand the basic dissipative structure in the general case, and in the mean time, we also give the explicit construction of the compensating symmetric matrix $K$ and skew-symmetric matrix $S$.Comment: 51 page

Global well-posedness in critical Besov spaces for two-fluid Euler-Maxwell equations

In this paper, we study the well-posedness in critical Besov spaces for two-fluid Euler-Maxwell equations, which is different from the one fluid case. We need to deal with the difficulties mainly caused by the nonlinear coupling and cancelation between two carriers. Precisely, we first obtain the local existence and blow-up criterion of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem and periodic problem pertaining to data in Besov spaces with critical regularity. Furthermore, we construct the global existence of classical solutions with aid of a different energy estimate (in comparison with the one-fluid case) provided the initial data is small under certain norms. Finally, we establish the large-time asymptotic behavior of global solutions near equilibrium in Besov spaces with relatively lower regularity.Comment: 28 page
