Dissipation enhancement for a degenerated parabolic equation

Abstract

In this paper, we quantitatively consider the enhanced-dissipation effect of the advection term to the parabolic $p$-Laplacian equations. More precisely, we show the mixing property of flow for the passive scalar enhances the dissipation process of the $p$-Laplacian in the sense of $L^2$ decay, that is, the $L^2$ decay can be arbitrarily fast. The main ingredient of our argument is to understand the underlying iteration structure inherited from the parabolic $p$-Laplacian equations. This extends the dissipation enhancement result of the advection diffusion equation by Yuanyuan Feng and Gautam Iyer into a non-linear setting.Comment: 22 page
