By using a diagonalization argument of frequency analysis, the coupled system will be decoupled micrologically. Then with the help of the information of characteristic roots for the coefficient matrix of the system, L^p- L^q decay estimate of parabolic type of solution to the Cauchy problem is obtained.

DECAY ESTIMATES FOR ISENTROPIC COMPRESSIBLE MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUATIONS IN BOUNDED DOMAIN

In this paper, under the hypothesis that y is upper bounded, we construct a Lyapunov functional for the multidimensional isentropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations and show that the weak solutions decay exponentially to the equilibrium state in L2 norm. Our result verifies that the method of Daoyuan Fang, Ruizhao Zi and Ting Zhang I1] can be adapted to magnetohydrodynamic equations.

DECAY ESTIMATES OF PLANAR STATIONARY WAVES FOR DAMED WAVE EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the multi-dimensional half space R n ＋ ： u tt u ＋ u t ＋ divf （u） = 0, t 〉 0, x = （x 1 , x ′ ） ∈ R n ＋ ：= R ＋ × R n 1 , u（0, x） = u 0 （x） → u ＋ , as x 1 → ＋ ∞ , u t （0, x） = u 1 （x）, u（t, 0, x ′ ） = u b , x ′ = （x 2 , x 3 , ··· , x n ） ∈ R n 1 . （I） For the non-degenerate case f ′ 1 （u ＋ ） 〈 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initialboundary value problem （I） admits a unique global solution u（t, x） which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave φ（x 1 ） uniformly in x 1 ∈ R ＋ as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u（t, x） for t → ＋ ∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f ′ （u） 〈 0. The main purpose of this paper isdevoted to discussing the case of f ′ 1 （u b ） ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.

Finally, a numerical example for an end-loaded, off-axis, graphite-epoxy strip is given to illustrate the results.

GLOBAL CLASSICAL SOLUTIONS OF SEMILINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS ON R^(3)×T WITH CUBIC NONLINEARITIES

In this paper,we establish global classical solutions of semilinear wave equations with small compact supported initial data posed on the product space R^(3)×T.The semilinear nonlinearity is assumed to be of the cubic form.The main ingredient here is the establishment of the L^(2)-L^(∞)decay estimates and the energy estimates for the linear problem,which are adapted to the wave equation on the product space.The proof is based on the Fourier mode decomposition of the solution with respect to the periodic direction,the scaling technique,and the combination of the decay estimates and the energy estimates.

SHARP MORREY REGULARITY THEORY FOR A FOURTH ORDER GEOMETRICAL EQUATION

This paper is a continuation of recent work by Guo-Xiang-Zheng[10].We deduce the sharp Morrey regularity theory for weak solutions to the fourth order nonhomogeneous Lamm-Rivière equation △^{2}u=△(V▽u)+div(w▽u)+(▽ω+F)·▽u+f in B^(4),under the smallest regularity assumptions of V,ω,ω,F,where f belongs to some Morrey spaces.This work was motivated by many geometrical problems such as the flow of biharmonic mappings.Our results deepens the Lp type regularity theory of[10],and generalizes the work of Du,Kang and Wang[4]on a second order problem to our fourth order problems.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE,EXPONENTIAL DECAY AND BLOW-UP IN FINITE TIME FOR A CLASS OF FINITELY DEGENERATE SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS

In this paper,we study the initial-boundary value problem for the semilinear parabolic equations ut-△Xu=|u|p-1u,where X=（X1,X2,…,Xm） is a system of real smooth vector fields which satisfy the H?rmander’s condition,and △X=∑j=1m Xj2 is a finitely degenerate elliptic operator.Using potential well method,we first prove the invariance of some sets and vacuum isolating of solutions.Finally,by the Galerkin method and the concavity method we show the global existence and blow-up in finite time of solutions with low initial energy or critical initial energy,and also we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the global solutions.

We obtain the global existence of solutions by constructing a stable set in and show the energy exponential decay estimate by applying a lemma of V. Komornik.

Blow-Up and Decay Estimate in a Logarithmic p-Laplace Parabolic Equation

This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem of a fourth-order parabolic equation involving Logarithmic type p-Laplacian,which could be proposed as a model for the epitaxial growth of thin films.By using the variational method and the logarithmic type Sobolev inequality,we give some threshold results for blow-up solutions and global solutions,which could be classified by the initial energy.The asymptotic estimates about blow-up time and decay estimate of weak solutions are obtained.

In this paper,we study the decay estimate and scattering theory for the Klein-Gordon-Hartree equation with radial data in space dimension d≥3.By means of a compactness strategy and two Morawetz-type estimates which come from the linear and nonlinear parts of the equation,respectively,we obtain the corresponding theory for energy subcritical and critical cases.The exponent range of the decay estimates is extended to 0〈γ≤4 and γ〈d with Hartree potential V（x） =｜x｜-γ.

EXISTENCE UNIQUENESS AND DECAY OF SOLUTION FOR FRACTIONAL BOUSSINESQ APPROXIMATION

The Boussinesq approximation finds more and more frequent use in geologi- cal practice. In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of solution for fractional Boussinesq approximation is studied. After obtaining some a priori estimates with the aid of eommu- tator estimate, we apply the Galerkin method to prove the existence of weak solution in the case of periodic domain. Meanwhile, the uniqueness is also obtained. Because the results obtained are independent of domain, the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for Cauchy problem is also true. Finally, we use the Fourier splitting method to prove the decay of weak solution in three cases respectively.

Decay Rates of the Compressible Hall-MHD Equations for Quantum Plasmas

In this paper, we consider the global existence and decay rates of strong solutions to the three-dimensional compressible quantum Hall-magneto-hydrodynamics equations. By combing the Lp-Lq estimates for the linearized equations and a standard energy method, the global existence and its convergence rates are obtained in various norms for the solution to the equilibrium state in the whole space when the initial perturbation of the stationary solution is small in some Sobolev norms. More precisely, the decay rates in time of the solution and its first order derivatives in L2-norm are obtained when the L1-norm of the perturbation is bounded.

A Logarithmic Decay of the Energy for the Hyperbolic Equation with Supercritical Damping

We are concerned with the following quasilinear wave equation involving variable sources and supercritical damping:■Generally speaking,when one tries to use the classical multiplier method to analyze tRhe asymptotic behavior of solutions,an inevitable step is to deal with the integralΩ|ut|^(m−2)utudx.A usual technique is to apply Young’s inequality and Sobolev embedding inequality to use the energy function and its derivative to control this integral for the subcritical or critical damping.However,for the supercritical case,the failure of the Sobolev embedding inequality makes the classical method be impossible.To do this,our strategy is to prove the rate of the integral RΩ|u|^(m)dx grows polynomially as a positive power of time variable t and apply the modified multiplier method to obtain the energy functional decays logarithmically.These results improve and extend our previous work[12].Finally,some numerical examples are also given to authenticate our results.

Dissipation and Decay Estimates

We establish the optimal rates of decay estimates of global solutions of some abstract differential equations, which include many partial differential equations. We provide a general treatment so that any future problem will enjoy the decay estimates displayed here as long as the general hypotheses are satisfied. The main hypotheses are the existence of global solutions of the equations and some growth control of the Fourier transform of the solutions. We establish the optimal rates of decay of the solutions for initial data in different spaces. The main ingredients and technical tools are the Fourier splitting method, the iteration skill and the energy estimates.

Decay estimates of discretized Green's functions for Schrdinger type operators

For a sparse non-singular matrix A, generally A- 1 is a dense matrix. However, for a class of matrices, A-1 can be a matrix with off-diagonal decay properties, i.e., ｜Aij^-1｜ decays fast to 0 with respect to the increase of a properly defined distance between i and j. Here we consider the off-diagonal decay properties of discretized Green＇s functions for SchrSdinger type operators. We provide decay estimates for discretized Green＇s functions obtained from the finite difference discretization, and from a variant of the pseudo-spectral discretization. The asymptotic decay rate in our estimate is independent of the domain size and of the discretization parameter. We verify the decay estimate with numerical results for one-dimensional Schr6dinger type operators.

This work is concerned with the proof of Lp-Lq decay estimates for solutions of the Cauchy problem for utt-λ2（t）b2（t） △ u =0. The coefficient consists of an increasing smooth function λ and an oscillating smooth and bounded function b which are uniformly separated from zero. The authors’ main interest is devoted to the critical case where one has an interesting interplay between the growing and the oscillating part.

THE IMPROVED FOURIER SPLITTING METHOD AND DECAY ESTIMATES OF THE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS OF THE CAUCHY PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR SYSTEMS OF FLUID DYNAMICS EQUATIONS

Consider the Cauchy problems for an n-dimensional nonlinear system of fluid dynamics equations. The main purpose of this paper is to improve the Fourier splitting method to accomplish the decay estimates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions of the Cauchy problems. We will couple togeth- er the elementary uniform energy estimates of the global weak solutions and a well known Gronwall＇s inequality to improve the Fourier splitting method. This method was initiated by Maria Schonbek in the 1980＇s to study the op- timal long time asymptotic behaviours of the global weak solutions of the nonlinear system of fluid dynamics equations. As applications, the decay esti- mates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions of the Cauchy problems for n-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, for the n-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics equations and for many other very interesting nonlin- ear evolution equations with dissipations can be established.
