Preface This book is designed to present some recent results on some nonlinear parabolic-hyperbolic coupled systems arising from physics, mechanics and material science such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, thermo(visco)elastic systems and elastic systems. Some of the content of this book is based on research carried out by the author and his collaborators in recent years. Most of it has been previously published only in original papers, and some of the material has never been published until now. Therefore, the author hopes that the book will beneﬁt both the interested beginner in the ﬁeld and the expert. All the models under consideration in Chapters 2–10 are built on nonlinear evolution equations that are parabolic-hyperbolic coupled systems of partial differential equations with time t as one of the independent variables. This type of partial differential equations arises not only in many ﬁelds of mathematics, but also in other branches of science such as physics, mechanics and materials science, etc. For example, some models studied in this book, such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (a 1D heat conductive viscous real gas and a polytropic ideal gas) from ﬂuid mechanics, and thermo(visco)elastic systems from materials science, are typical examples of nonlinear evolutionary equations. It is well known that the properties of solutions to nonlinear parabolic-hyperbolic coupled systems are very different from those of parabolic or hyperbolic equations. Since the 1970s, more and more mathematicians have begun to focus their interests on the study of local well-posedness, global well-posedness and blow-up of solutions in a ﬁnite time. Local well-posedness means that, for any given initial datum, a solution exists locally in time, and if it exists locally in time, it is unique and stable in some sense in the considered class. Generally speaking, we have two powerful tools to derive the local existence of solutions to a wide of class of nonlinear evolutionary equations, i.e., the contraction mapping theorem and the Leray-Schauder ﬁxed point theorem. Once a local solution in some sense has been established, we may talk about the global well-posedness of solutions, i.e., the global-in-time existence, uniqueness and stability of global solutions. Since the 1960s, many methods of studying global well-posedness have been developed, among which are two powerful tools to derive the global existence of solutions; one is continuation of local solutions, the other is the global iteration method. In the 1980s, more interest was focused on the global existence of “small solutions”. However, knowledge about the global existence of a “small solution” is usually far from being enough for physical and mechanical problems. Thus we have to look for global

solutions with arbitrary (not necessarily small) initial data. It turns out that an important step is to derive uniform a priori estimates on the solutions by using the special constitutive relations of the equations under consideration. Once global existence and uniqueness have been established, then the main interest should be focused on topics related to the asymptotic behavior of solutions, multiplicity of equilibria, convergence to an equilibrium, dynamical systems such as absorbing sets, the maximal compact attractor, etc. The study of asymptotic behavior of solutions can be divided into two categories. The ﬁrst category comprises investigations of asymptotic behavior of the global solution for any given initial datum. The second category comprises investigations of asymptotic behavior of all solutions when the initial data vary in any bounded set. There are essential differences between these two categories. The ﬁrst category deals with only one orbit starting from the datum in the phase space, while the second category deals with a family of orbits starting from any bounded set in the phase space. For the basic theories of inﬁnite-dimensional dynamical systems, we refer readers to the works by Babin [16], Babin and Vishik [17, 18], Ball [22, 23], Bernard and Wang [38], Chepyzhov, Gatti, Grasselli, Miranville and Pata [56], Chepyzhov and Vishik [57], Constantin and Foias [63], Constantin, Foias and Temam [64], Dlotko [84], Eden and Kalantarov [90], Edfendiev, Zelik and Miranville n [92], Feireisl [97, 98, 100], Feireisl and Petzeltova [101, 102], Ghidaglia [117, 118], Ghidaglia and Temam [119], Goubet [125], Goubet and Moise [126], Hale [135], Hale and Perissinotto [136], Haraux [138], Hoff and Ziane [150, 151], Ladyzhenskaya [207], Liu and Zheng [240], Lu, Wu and Zhong [242], Ma, Wang and Zhong [246], Miranville [265, 266], Miranville and Wang [267], Moise and Rosa [269], Moise, Rosa and Wang [270], Pata and Zelik [307], Robinson [362], Rosa [363], Sell [369], Sell and You [370, 371], Temam [407], Vishik and Chepyzhov [413, 414], Wang [421], Wang, Zhong and Zhou [422], Wu and Zhong [429], Zhao and Zhou [445], Zheng [450], Zheng and Qin [451, 452], Zhong, Yang and Sun [457], and references therein. There are 10 chapters in this book. Chapter 1 is a preliminary chapter in which we collect some basic results from nonlinear functional analysis, basic properties of Sobolev spaces, some differential and integral inequalities in analysis, the basic theory of semigroups of linear operators and the basic theory for global attractors. Some results in this chapter will be used in the subsequent chapters, other results, though not used in the subsequent chapters, will be very beneﬁcial to the readers for further study. The ﬁrst topic studied in this book is compressible Navier-Stokes equations which describe the ﬂuid motion of conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Chapters 2–5 are devoted to the study of this challenging topic. Chapter 2 will concern the global existence, asymptotic behavior of solutions and the existence of universal attractors for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a nonlinear 1D viscous and heat-conductive real gas. In Chapter 3, we shall establish the global existence, asymptotic behavior of solutions to initial boundary value problems and the Cauchy problem of the compressible NavierStokes equations of a 1D polytropic viscous and heat-conductive gas. In Chapter 4, we shall investigate the global existence, asymptotic behavior of solutions and the existence of maximal attractors for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a polytropic vis-

cous and heat-conductive gas in bounded annular domains in Rn (n = 2, 3). Chapter 5 will be concerned with the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to a polytropic viscous and heat-conductive gas with cylinder symmetry in R3 . For the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we consult the works by Duan, Yang and Zhu [87], Ducomet and Zlotnik [88], Feireisl and Petzeltova [103], Feireisl, Novotny and Petzeltova [104], Frid and Shelukhin [106], Fujita-Yashima and Benabidallah [110, 111], Fujita-Yashima, Padula and Novotny [112], Galdi [115], Hoff [142–146], Hoff and Serre [147], Hoff and Smoller [148], Hoff and Zarnowski [149], Hsiao and Luo [158], Huang, Matsumura and Xin [160], Itaya [161], Jiang [164–167, 169–171], Jiang and Zhang [174–177], Jiang and Zlotnik [178], Kanel [182], Kawashima [188, 189], Kawashima, Nishibata and Zhu [190], Kawashima and Nishida [191], Kawohl [192], Kazhikhov [193–195], LeFloch and Shelukhin [219], Lions [235], Matsumura [252], Matsumura and Nishida [253–257], Nagasawa [283–287], Novotny and Stra˘s˘ kraba [301, 302], Okada and Kawashima [303], Padula [305], Qin [323, 325, 326], Qin and Hu [329], Qin, Huang and Ma [330], Qin and Jiang [331], Qin and Kong [332], Qin, Ma, Cavalcanti and Andrade [335], Qin, Ma and Huang [336], Qin, Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [337, 339], Qin and Song [343], Qin and Wen [344], Qin, Wu and Liu [345], Qin and Zhao [346], Valli and Zajaczkowski [412], and the references therein. The second topic studied in this book is a 1D thermoviscoelastic system which describes the motion of conservation of mass, momentum and energy in the thermoviscoelastic media. Chapter 6 will be devoted to the study of global existence, asymptotic behavior and the existence of universal attractors for a 1D thermoviscoelastic model in materials science. The third topic considered in this book is that of some viscoelastic models. In Chapter 10, we shall obtain the large-time behavior of energy of multi-dimensional nonhomogeneous anisotropic elastic system. For the related (thermo)(visco)elastic models, we refer to Andrews [12], Andrews and Ball [13], Chen and Hoffmann [54], Coleman and Gurtin [62], Dafermos [69, 75, 76], Dafermos and Nohel [79, 80], Fabrizio and Lazzari [95], Giorgi and Naso [121], Greenberg and MacCamy [129], Guo and Zhu [132], Kim [197], Lagnese [209], Liu and ´ and Sprekels [293], Niezgodka, ´ Zheng and Sprekels [294], Zheng [239, 240], Niezgodka Qin, Ma and Huang [336], Racke and Zheng [355], Renardy, Hrusa and Nohel [361], Shen and Zheng [373], Shen, Zheng and Zhu [376], Shibata [377], Sprekels and Zheng [390, 391], Sprekels, Zheng and Zhu [392], Watson [424], Zheng [447, 448, 450], Zheng and Shen [453, 454], Zhu [460], and the references therein. The fourth topic under consideration is an investigation of a classical 1D thermoelastic model. Such a model describes the elastic and the thermal behavior of elastic, heat conductive media, in particular the reciprocal actions between elastic stresses and temperature differences. The classical thermoelastic system is such a thermoelastic model that the elastic part is the usual second-order one in the space variable and the heat ﬂux obeys Fourier’s law, which means that the heat ﬂux is proportional to the temperature gradient. In Chapter 7, we shall establish the global existence and exponential stability of solutions to a 1D classical thermoelastic system of equations with a thermal memory. In

Chapter 9, we shall study the blowup phenomena of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a 1D non-autonomous classical thermoelastic system. There is much literature on classical thermoelastic model; we refer the readers to Burns, Liu and Zheng [46], Dafermos [67], Dafermos and Hsiao [78], Hale and Perissinotto [136], Hansen [137], Hoffmann and Zochowski [153], Hrusa and Messaoudi [155], Hrusa and Tarabek [156], Jiang, Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera and Racke [172], Jiang and Racke [173], Kim [198], Kirane and Kouachi and Tatar [199], Kirane and Tatar [200], Lebeau and Zuazua [216], Liu and Zheng [238, 240], Messaoudi [260], Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [274, 275], Munoz ˜ Rivera and Barreto [277], Mu˜noz ˜ Rivera and Oliveira [278], Mu˜noz ˜ Rivera and Qin [279], Qin [315], Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [341], Racke [348], Racke and Zheng [355], Slemord [378], Zheng [450], and the references therein. Recently, Green and Naghdi [127, 128] re-examined the classical thermoelastic models and introduced the so-called models of thermoelasticity of types II and III for which the heat ﬂuxes are different from Fourier’s law. Chapter 8 will concern the global existence and exponential stability of solutions to the 1D thermoelastic equations of hyperbolic type, which is in fact a 1D thermoelastic system of type II with a thermal memory. We consult the works by Messaoudi [261], Racke [350, 351], Racke and Wang [354] for thermoelastic models with second sound, which means that the heat ﬂux is given by Cattaneo’s law (i.e., the heat ﬂux q satisﬁes τ qt + q + κ∇θ = 0 with τ > 0, κ > 0 constants), instead of Fourier’s law of the classical thermoelastic models in which τ = 0. For the thermoelastic models of type II, we refer to the works by Green and Naghdi [127, 128], Gurtin and Pipkin [133], and Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [340], and the references therein. For the thermoelastic models of type III, we refer to the works by Green and Naghdi [127, 128], Quintanilla and Racke [347], Reissig and Wang [360], and Zhang and Zuazua [444], and the references therein. I sincerely hope that readers will learn the main ideas and essence of the basic theories and methods in deriving global well-posedness, asymptotic behavior and existence of global (universal) attractors for the models under consideration in this book. Also I hope that readers will be stimulated by some ideas from this book and undertake further study and research after having read the related references. I appreciate my former Ph.D. advisor, Professor Songmu Zheng from Fudan University for his constant encouragement, useful advice and great support and help. Special thanks go to Professor Bert-Wolfgang Schulze for his interest in my research and for acting as the initiator for publication of this book.

Chapter 1

Preliminary In this chapter, we recall some basic results, most of which will be used in subsequent chapters. The reader can easily ﬁnd detailed proofs in the related literature, see, e.g., Adams [1], Friedman [107, 108], Gagliardo [113, 114], Maz’ja [258], Nirenberg [297– 300], Tanabe [403] and Yosida [438].

1.1 Sobolev Spaces and Their Basic Properties In this section, we use the notation D = (D1 , . . . , Dn ) = (∂/∂ x 1 , . . . , ∂/∂ x n ) and D α = D1α1 · · · Dnαn , |α| = α1 + · · · + αn for a vector α = (α1 , . . . , αn ) with integral components αi ≥ 0. We often write D m to denote mth-order derivatives, i.e., D m is one of D α with |α| = m. Let be a nonempty open subset of Rn and m be a non-negative integer. Then C m () denotes the set of all functions whose derivatives of up to m are all continuous in , and C0m () the totality of functions belonging to C m () and with compact support in . We denote by B m () the set of all functions which are bounded and continuous in together with their derivatives of order up to m. For 0 < h < 1, we denote by B m+h () the set of all functions belonging to B m () whose mth-order derivatives are all uniformly H¨o¨ lder continuous in with exponent h. Similarly, the sets B m () and B m+h () are deﬁned replacing by . We put |u|m,∞, = max sup |D α u(x)|, |α|=m x∈

1.1.1 Distributions In this subsection we present a very brief review of some elementary concepts and techniques of the Schwartz theory of distributions. The notion of weak or distributional derivative will be of special importance. Deﬁnition 1.1.1. Let ⊂ Rn be an open set. The space D() is the set of all φ in C0∞ () endowed with a topology so that a sequence {φi } converges to an element φ in D() if and only if (1) there exists a compact set K ⊂ such that supp φi ⊂ K for every i , and (2) limi→∞ D α φi = D α φ uniformly on K for each multi-index α. The deﬁnition above does not attempt to actually deﬁne the topology on D() but merely states a consequence of the rigorous deﬁnition which requires the concept of generalized sequences or nets, a topic that we do not wish to pursue in this brief treatment. For our purpose, it will sufﬁce to only consider ordinary sequences. It turns out that D() is a topological vector space with a locally convex topology but is not a normable space. The dual space, D (), of D() is called the space of (Schwartz) distributions and is given the weak*-topology. Thus, Ti ∈ D () converges to T if and only if Ti (φ) → T (φ) for every φ ∈ D(). We now consider some important examples of distributions. Example 1.1.1 Let μ be a Radon measure on and deﬁne the corresponding distribution by T (φ) = φ(x)dμ for all φ ∈ D(). Clearly T is a linear functional on D() and |T (φ)| ≤ |μ|(supp φ)φ L ∞ , from which it is easily seen that T is continuous, and thus a distribution. In this way, we will make an identiﬁcation of Radon measures and the associated distributions. Here |μ|(S) denotes the measure of the set S. p

Example 1.1.2 Let f ∈ L loc (), p ≥ 1, and consider the corresponding signed measure μ deﬁned for all Borel sets E ⊂ Rn by μ(E) = f (x)d x E

and pass to the associated distribution f (φ) =

Rn

φ(x) f (x)d x.

In the sequel we shall often identify locally integrable functions with their corresponding distributions without explicitly indicating the identiﬁcation. We note the following two facts about distributions that will be of importance. (1) A distribution T on an open set is said to be positive if T (φ) ≥ 0 whenever φ ≥ 0, φ ∈ D(). A fundamental result in distribution theory states that a positive distribution is a measure. Of course, not all distributions are measures. For example, the distribution deﬁned on R1 by T (φ) =

φ (x)d x

is not a measure since it is not continuous on D() when endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. (2) Another important fact is that distributions are determined by their local behavior. By this we mean that if two distributions T and S on have the property that for every x ∈ there is a neighborhood U such that T (φ) = S(φ) for all φ ∈ D() supported by U , then T = S. For example, this implies that if {α } is a family of open sets such that ∪α α = and T is a distribution on such that T is a measure on α , then T is a measure on . This also implies that if a distribution T vanishes on each open set of some family F, it then vanishes on the union of all elements of F . The support of a distribution T is thus deﬁned as the complement of the largest open set on which T vanishes. We now introduce the convolution of a distribution with a test function φ ∈ D(). ˜ For this purpose, we introduce the notation φ(x) = φ(−x) and τx φ(y) = φ(y − x). The convolution of a distribution T deﬁned on Rn with φ ∈ D() is a function of class C ∞ given by ˜ T ∗ φ(x) = T (ττx φ). An important observation is ˜ = T (φ). ˜ T ∗ φ(0) = T (ττ0 φ) If the distribution T is given by a locally integrable function f , then we have (T ∗ φ)(x) = f (x − y)φ(y)d y which is the usual deﬁnition for the convolution of two functions. It is easy to verify that T ∗ (φ ∗ ψ) = (T ∗ φ) ∗ ψ whenever φ, ψ ∈ D().

Chapter 1. Preliminary

Let T be a distribution on an open set . The partial derivative of T is deﬁned as Di T (φ) = −T (Di φ) for φ ∈ D(). Since Di φ ∈ D(), it is clear that Di T is again a distribution. Since the test function φ is smooth, the mixed partial derivatives are independent of the order of differentiation: Di D j φ = D j D i φ and therefore the equation holds for distributions: Di D j T = D j Di T. Consequently, for any multi-index α the corresponding derivative of T is given by the equation D α T (φ) = (−1)|α| T (D α φ). Finally, we note that a distribution on can be multiplied by smooth functions. Thus, if T ∈ D () and f ∈ C ∞ (), then the product f T is a distribution deﬁned by ( f T )(φ) = T ( f φ),

φ ∈ D().

1.1.2 Weak Derivatives and Sobolev Spaces Let u ∈ L 1loc (). For a given multi-index α, a function v ∈ L 1loc () is called the α t h weak derivative of u if

φvd x = (−1)|α|

u D α φd x

for all φ ∈ C0∞ (). v is also referred to as the generalized derivative of u and we write v = D α u. Clearly, D α u is uniquely determined up to sets of Lebesgue measure zero. We say that the α t h weak derivative of u is a measure if there exists a regular Borel (signed) measure μ on such that φudμ = (−1)|α| u D α φdμ

for all φ ∈ C0∞ (). In most applications, |α| = 1 and then we speak of u whose partial derivatives are measures. Now we introduce the deﬁnition of Sobolev spaces. Deﬁnition 1.1.2. Let be a bounded or unbounded domain of Rn with smooth boundary . For 1 ≤ p ≤ +∞ and m a non-negative integer, W m, p () is deﬁned to be the space of functions u in L p () whose distribution derivatives of order up to m are also in L p (). That is, W m, p () = L p () ∩ u : D α u ∈ L p (), |α| ≤ m .

1.1. Sobolev Spaces and Their Basic Properties

The space W m, p (), called a Sobolev space, is equipped with a norm 1/ p um, p, = |D α u| p d x , if 1 ≤ p < ∞, or

(1.1.6)

um, p, = max esssup x∈ |D α u(x)|, if p = ∞

(1.1.7)

|α|≤m

|α|≤m

which is clearly equivalent to

D α u p, .

(1.1.8)

|α|≤m

If = Rn , we simply write um, p = um, p,Rn ,

u0, p = u p . m, p

It is an easy matter to verify that W m, p () is a Banach space. The space W0 deﬁned as the closure of C0∞ () relative to the norm (1.1.8). Clearly, we have

() is

W 0, p () = L p () with norm · 0, p, ≡ · p, . In case p = 2, W m,2 (), usually written as H m (), is a Hilbert space with the scalar product (u, v)m = (D α u, D α v) L 2 () |α|≤m

with ( f, f g) L 2 () =

f gd ¯ x ; here g¯ denotes the conjugate function of g. The homogeneous Sobolev space W˙ m, p () (1 ≤ p < ∞) is deﬁned as

W˙ m, p () = u ∈ C0∞ () : D α u p, < ∞, |α| ≤ m

(1.1.9)

which is the completion space in terms of the norm p 1/ p uW˙ m, p () = D α u p, .

(1.1.10)

Moreover, when p = ∞, the completion space of the set of smooth functions u ∈ C ∞ () : D α u p, < ∞, |α| ≤ m

(1.1.11)

|α|=m

in terms of the norm |α|≤m supx∈ |∂ α u| is the space Cbm (). Generally, Cbm () = W m,∞ (). Thus W m,∞ () is not the completion space of the set (1.1.11) of smooth functions, but it is still a Banach space. We now deﬁne the space W −m, p () with a negative integer −m as follows.

6

Chapter 1. Preliminary

Deﬁnition 1.1.3. Let 1 < p < ∞. We deﬁne W −m, p () = u : u = D α gα (x), gα (x) ∈ L p (), |α|≤m

u−m, p, < ∞, 1/ p + 1/q = 1

where u−m, p, =

sup

f m,q, =1 |α|≤m

(−1)|α| gα D α f d x < ∞.

We also introduce the space BV () of integrable functions whose partial derivatives are (signed measures) with ﬁnite variation; thus, BV () = L 1 () ∩ {u : D α u is a measure, |D α u|() < ∞, |α| = 1}. A norm on BV () is deﬁned by u B V () = u1, +

|D α u|().

|α|=1

Observe that if u ∈ W m, p ()∩ BV (), then u is determined only up to a set of Lebesgue measure zero. We agree to call these functions u continuous, bounded, etc. if there is a function u¯ such that u¯ = u a.e. and u¯ has these properties. We shall see that elements in W m, p () have representatives that permit us to regard them as generalizations of absolutely continuous functions on R1 . Let φ be a non-negative, real-valued function in C0∞ () with the property that φ(x)d x = 1 Rn

where supp φ ⊂ B(0, 1), i.e., the support of φ is in the closed unit ball. A typical example of such a function is given by C exp[−1/(1 − |x|2 )] if |x| < 1, φ(x) = 0 if |x| ≥ 1 where the constant C is chosen so that Rn φ(x)d x = 1. For ε > 0, the function φε (x) ≡ ε−n φ(x/ε) belongs to C0∞ () and supp φε = B(0, ε). The function φε is called a regularizer (or molliﬁer) and the convolution u ε (x) = φε ∗ u(x) ≡ φε (x − y)u(y)d y (1.1.12) Rn

deﬁned for functions u for which the right-hand side of (1.1.12) has meaning, is called the regularization (molliﬁcation) of u. Regularization has several important and useful properties that are summarized in the following theorem.

1.1. Sobolev Spaces and Their Basic Properties

7

Theorem 1.1.1. (1) If u ∈ L 1loc (Rn ), then for any ε > 0, u ε ∈ C ∞ (Rn ) and D α (φε ∗ u) = (D α φε ) ∗ u for each multi-index α. (2) u ε (x) → u(x) whenever x is a Lebesgue point for u. In case u is continuous, then u ε converges uniformly to u on compact subsets of Rn . (3) If u ∈ L p (Rn ), 1 ≤ p < ∞, then u ε ∈ L p (Rn ), u ε p ≤ u p , and limε→0 u ε − u p = 0. Note that if u ∈ L 1 (), then u ε (x) ≡ φε ∗ u(x) is deﬁned provided x ∈ and ε < dist(x, ∂). It is easy to verify that the above theorem still holds for this case with obvious modiﬁcation. For example, if u ∈ C() and ⊂⊂ , then u ε converges uniformly to u on as ε → 0. Moreover, (3) of Theorem 1.1.1 implies the modiﬁcation does not increase the norm. This is intuitively clear since the norm must take into account the extremities of the function and modiﬁcation, which is an averaging operation, does not increase the extremities. Now let us give an important result concerning the convergence of regularizers of Sobolev functions. Theorem 1.1.2. Suppose that u ∈ W m, p (), p ≥ 1. Then the regularizers, u ε , of u, have the property that lim u ε − um, p; = 0 ε→0

whenever

⊂⊂ . In case = Rn , then limε→0 u ε − um, p = 0.

Since the deﬁnition of a Sobolev function requires that its distributional derivatives belong to L p , it is natural to inquire whether the function possesses any classical differentiability properties. To this end, we shall state that its partial derivatives of u¯ exist almost everywhere. That is, there is a function u¯ such that u¯ = u a.e. and the partial derivatives of u¯ exist almost everywhere. Theorem 1.1.3. Suppose that u ∈ L p (). Then u ∈ W 1, p (), p ≥ 1, if and only if u has a representative u¯ that is absolutely continuous on almost all line segments in parallel to the coordinate axes and whose (classical) partial derivatives belong to L p (). This theorem can also be stated in the following way. Corollary 1.1.1. If u ∈ L p (), then u ∈ W 1, p () if and only if u has a representative u¯ such that u¯ ∈ W 1, p ( ) for almost all line segments in parallel to the coordinate axes and |D u| ¯ ∈ L p (). For an equivalent statement, an application of Fubini’s Theorem allows us to replace almost all line segments by almost all k-dimensional planes k in that are parallel to the coordinate k-planes. However, if u were not an element of W 1, p (), but merely an

8

Chapter 1. Preliminary

element of L 1 (), Fubini’s Theorem would imply that the convergence occurs only H 1a.e. on almost all lines. Thus, the assumption u ∈ W 1, p () implies that the regularizers converge on a relatively large set of points. This is an interesting fact of Sobolev functions. Recall that if u ∈ L p (Rn ), then u(x + h) − u(x) p → 0 as h → 0. The next similar result provides a very useful characterization of W 1, p (Rn ). Theorem 1.1.4. Let 1 < p < ∞. Then u ∈ W 1, p (Rn ) if and only if u ∈ L p (Rn ) and

u(x + h) − u(x) p | | dx |h|

1/ p

= |h|−1 u(x + h) − u(x) p

remains bounded for all h ∈ Rn . For a measurable function u : → R1 , let u + = max{u, 0}, u − = min{u, 0}. Corollary 1.1.2. Let u ∈ W 1, p (), p ≥ 1. Then u + , u − ∈ W 1, p () and Du + = Du if u > 0; Du + = 0 if u ≤ 0, Du − = 0 if u ≥ 0; Du − = Du if u < 0. Corollary 1.1.3. If is connected, u ∈ W 1, p (), p ≥ 1, and Du = 0 a.e. on , then u is a constant in . Remark 1.1.1. Corollary 1.1.2 states that elements of W 1, p () remain invariant under the operation of truncation. One of the interesting aspects of the theory is that this, in general, is no longer true for the space W m, p (). We refer the reader to a counterexample in Adams [1] (see also Ziemer [462]). Next we consider the problem of composition of a suitable function with u ∈ W 1, p (). Before doing so, let us recall the analogy in Real Variable Theory. In general, if f and g are both absolutely continuous functions, then the composition, f ◦ g, need not be absolutely continuous. Recall that a function, f , is absolutely continuous if and only if it is continuous, of bounded variation, and has the property that | f (E)| = 0 whenever |E| = 0 (|E| is the Lebesgue measure of E). Thus, the consideration that prevents f ◦ g from being absolutely continuous is that f ◦ g need not be of bounded variation. A result of Poussin [312] says that f ◦ g is absolutely continuous if and only if f ◦ g · g is integrable. An analogous result is valid in the context of Sobolev theory (see, e.g., Marcus and Mizel [247, 248]), but here we only state the case when the outer function is Lipschitz. Theorem 1.1.5. Let f : R1 → R1 be a Lipschitz function and u ∈ W 1, p (), p ≥ 1. If f ◦ u ∈ L p (), then f ◦ u ∈ W 1, p () and for almost all x ∈ , D( f ◦ u)(x) = f (u(x)) · Du(x).

1.1.3 Sobolev Inequalities, Embedding Theorems and the Trace Theorem In this subsection we shall review some Sobolev inequalities which are of fundamental importance in the investigation of the problems of partial differential equations. One of the important characteristics of these Sobolev inequalities is that they allow the L p -norm of a function to be estimated by the norm of its partial derivatives. First, we establish these 1, p inequalities for functions in the space W0 (). Theorem 1.1.6. (Sobolev’s Inequality) Let ⊆ Rn , n > 1, be an open domain. There is a constant C = C(n, p) such that ∗

1, p

(1) if n > p ≥ 1, and u ∈ W0 (), then u ∈ L p () and u p∗ , ≤

p(n − 1) √ Du p, 2(n − p) n

(1.1.13)

where p∗ = np/(n − p); 1, p

(2) if p > n and is bounded, and u ∈ W0 (), then u ∈ C() and sup |u| ≤ C||1/n−1/ p Du p, .

(1.1.14)

Particularly, if = Rn , then −1/ p

sup |u| ≤ Cωn Rn

where ωn =

u1, p,Rn

(1.1.15)

is the measure of the n-dimensional unit ball, is the Euler

p−1 ( p−1)/ p gamma function and C = max{1, ( p−n ) }.

Remark 1.1.2. The Sobolev inequality (1.1.13) does not hold for p = n, p ∗ = ∞. Note that the ﬁrst conclusion of Theorem 1.1.6, derived ﬁrstly by Sobolev [381] ∗ in 1938, states that the L p norm of u can be estimated by u1, p, or Du p, , the Sobolev norm of u. However, it is possible to bound a higher L p norm of u by exploiting higher-order derivatives of u as shown in the next theorem which generalizes Theorem 1.1.6 from m = 1, p > n to m ≥ 1 an integer. Theorem 1.1.7. Let ⊆ Rn be an open set. There is a constant C = C(n, m, p) such that m, p

(1) if mp < n, p ≥ 1, and u ∈ W0

where K = supp u, C = C(m, p, n) and diam K is the diameter of K . Remark 1.1.3. An important case to consider in Theorems 1.1.6–1.1.7 is = Rn . In m, p this situation, W m, p (Rn ) = W0 (Rn ) and therefore the results of Theorems 1.1.6–1.1.7 m, p n apply to W (R ). Note that for p > n, the results of Theorems 1.1.6–1.1.7 yield more than the fact that u is bounded. Indeed, u is H¨o¨ lder continuous, which we shall state as follows. ¯ where α = 1 − n/ p. Theorem 1.1.8. If u ∈ W0 (), p > n, then u ∈ C 0,α () 1, p

In connection with (1.1.13) we would like to make some comments. When is an unbounded domain (in particular, exterior to a compact region) the investigation of the asymptotic properties of a solution u to a system of partial differential equations is strictly related to the Lebesgue space L p () to which u belongs and, roughly speaking, the behavior of u at large distances will be better known when the exponent p is lower. Indeed, the inherent information, derived from the Navier-Stokes equations in such domains in that u (a generic component of the velocity ﬁeld) has ﬁrst derivatives Di u summable with exponents pi which, however, may vary with x i , i = 1, 2, . . . , n. Thus we may wonder if (1.1.13) can be replaced by another inequality which takes into account this different behavior in different directions and leads to an exponent q of summability for u strictly less than the exponent p given in (1.1.13). This question ﬁnds its answer within the context of anisotropic Sobolev spaces (see, e.g., Nikol’skii [296]). Here we shall restrict ourselves to quoting without proof, an inequality due to Troisi [411] representing the natural generalization of (1.1.13) to the anisotropic case (see also e.g., Galdi [115]). Theorem 1.1.9. (Troisi’s Inequality) Let 1 ≤ pi < ∞, i = 1, . . . , n. Then for all u ∈ C0∞ (Rn ), the following inequality holds: us ≤ C

The following result readily follows from the Sobolev inequality (1.1.13). Corollary 1.1.4. For n = 3, p = 2, p∗ = 6, the Sobolev inequality (1.1.13) reduces to 2 u6, ≤ √ u2, . 3

(1.1.19)

However, in two space dimensions (i.e., n = 2), there is no analogue of (1.1.19), and so, in particular, for n = 2, a function having all derivatives in L 2 (Rn ) need not be in L q (R2 ), for some q ∈ [1, ∞). Generally speaking, the embedding theorems are closely related to the smoothness of the domain under consideration. This means that when we study the embedding theorems, some smoothness conditions for the domain are required. These conditions include that the domain possesses the cone property, and it is a uniformly regular open set in Rn , etc. For example, when ∈ C 1 or ∂ ∈ Li p, possesses the cone property. Mathematically, the word “embedding” or “compact embedding” has a special meaning which can be deﬁned as follows. Deﬁnition 1.1.4. Let A and B be two subsets of some function space. The set A is said to be embedded into B if and only if (1) A ⊆ B; (2) the identity mapping I : A → B is continuous, i.e., there exists a constant C > 0 such that for any x ∈ A, there holds that I x B ≤ Cx A . If A is embedded into B, then we simply denote it by A →

B. A is said to be compactly embedded into B if and only if (1) A is embedded into B; (2) the identity mapping I : A → B is a compact operator.

B. If A is compactly embedded into B, then we simply denote it by A → Now we want to draw some consequences from Theorem 1.1.6. In fact, exploiting Theorem 1.1.6, we have the following result which is an embedding theorem. 1, p

uq, ≤ Cu1, p, if 1 ≤ p < n, p ≤ q ≤ uq, ≤ Cu1, p, if p = n, p ≤ q < ∞, uC ≤ Cu1, p, if p > n, where C = C(n, p, q).

(Rellich-Kondrachov Compactness Theorem) Let ⊂ Rn be a m, p smooth bounded domain. Then, if mp < n and p ≥ 1, W0 () is compactly embedded m, p q in L () where q < np/(n − mp). If mp > n + kp, W0 () is compactly embedded in C k (). It is worth pointing out here that the above results in this subsection are stated in m, p terms of functions in W0 (). A natural and important question is to identify those domains for which the results are valid for functions in W m, p (). One answer can be formulated in terms of those domains of having the property that there exists a bounded linear operator L : W m, p () → W m, p (Rn ) such that L(u) | = u for all u ∈ W m, p (). We say that is an (m, p)-extension domain for W m, p () if there exists an extension operator for W m, p () with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, m a

non-negative integer. Clearly, the results before are also valid for u ∈ W m, p () when is a bounded extension domain. A fundamental result of Calder´o´ n-Stein says that every Lipschitz domain is an extension domain. An open set is a Lipschitz domain if its boundary can be locally represented as the graph of a Lipschitz function deﬁned on some open ball of Rn . This result was shown by Calder´o´ n [47] for 1 < p < n and Stein [398] extended Calder´o´ n’s result to p = 1, ∞. The following is an extension of the Rellich-Kondrachov compactness theorem. Theorem 1.1.12. If is a domain having the extension property, then W k+m, p ()

→ W k,q () is a compact embedding if mp < n, 1 ≤ q ≤ np/(n − mp) and m a non-negative integer. Another answer is formulated in terms of those domains of class C m whose deﬁnition is stated as follows. Deﬁnition 1.1.5. Let be a nonempty open subset of Rn . If for any point a of the boundary ∂ there is a neighborhood O of a and a homeomorphism of class C m from O to the open unit ball B(0, 1) = {x ∈ Rn : |x| < 1} of Rn such that (a) = 0, (O ∩ ) = {x ∈ Rn : |x| < 1, x n > 0}, (O ∩ ∂) = {x ∈ Rn : |x| < 1, x n = 0}, then is called an open set of class C m . If is an open set of class C m with bounded boundary, then there exist ﬁnite points a1 , . . . , a N on the boundary ∂ and a neighborhood Oi of ai , and a homeomorphism i of class C m from Oi to the open unit ball of Rn , i = 1, . . . , N satisfying the conditions of Deﬁnition 1.1.5 for a = ai , i = 1, . . . , N, and N ∪i=1 −1 ({x : |x| < 1/2}) ⊃ ∂.

When is not bounded, we may consider the uniformly regular open sets (see, e.g., Browder [45]). Deﬁnition 1.1.6. Assume that is a nonempty open subset of Rn whose boundary is not bounded. Then is said to be uniformly regular of class of C m if there are a family of open sets {Oi : i = 1, . . . } and of homeomorphisms {i } of Oi onto the unit ball B(0, 1) in Rn , and an integer N such that the following conditions are satisﬁed: ∞ n −1 neighbor(1) Let Oi = −1 i ({x ∈ R : |x| < 1/2}). Then ∪i=1 Oi contains the N hood of ∂. (2) For each i ,

Then for each i = 1, 2, . . . and (5) Let i = −1 i |x| < 1, |i (x) − i (0)| < M. Let ik (x), ik (y) be the kth components of i (x), i (y) respectively. Then |D α ik (x)| ≤ M, |D α ik (y)| ≤ M, |in (x)| ≤ M dist(x, ∂) for |α| ≤ m, x ∈ Oi , |y| < 1, k = 1, . . . , n and i = 1, 2, . . . . Note that when m ≥ 2 or also when m = 1, if ∂ik /∂ x i are equicontinuous, then (4) follows from (3) and (5). When is a smooth bounded domain of class C m , we have the following (compactness) embedding theorem. Theorem 1.1.13. (Embedding and Compactness Theorem) Assume that is a bounded domain of class C m . Then we have ∗

(1.1.30)

Moreover, the embedding operator is compact, ∀q, 1 ≤ q < ∞. If p = 1, m = n, then the above still holds for q = ∞. (iii) If k + 1 > m − np > k, k ∈ N, then writing m − np = k + α, α ∈ (0, 1), W m, p () is continuously embedded in C k,α (): W m, p ()

The embedding properties (i)–(iii) are still valid for smooth unbounded domains of R n provided that L q () in (1.1.29)–(1.1.30) and C k,β () in (1.1.31) are q replaced by L loc () and C k,α (B) for any bounded domain B ⊂ , respectively. m, p

Theorem 1.1.14. (Density Theorem) If is a C m domain, m ≥ 1, 1 ≤ p < ∞, then C m () is dense in W m, p (). Note that in the previous embedding theorems, we always assume that m is a nonnegative integer in the deﬁnition of W m, p (). The embedding theorems may not be optimal. In fact, when = Rn , we may use the Bessel potential or the Riesz potential to deﬁne the Sobolev spaces of fractional order. In this situation, the Bessel potential Jα and the Riesz potential Pα are deﬁned as Jα = (I − )−α/2 , Pα = (−)−α/2

(1.1.32)

with which we can deﬁne Banach spaces H α, p (Rn ) = Jα L p (Rn ), H˙ α, p (Rn ) = Pα L p (Rn ), α ∈ R. In particular, when α ∈ N,

H α, p (Rn ) = W α, p (Rn ).

(1.1.33)

(1.1.34)

However, when = Rn , we can still deﬁne the Sobolev spaces of fractional order as follows: Let s > 0 be a non-integer, s = [s] + λ, λ ∈ (0, 1). The Sobolev space W s, p () is deﬁned as the completion space of the set of functions u ∈ C ∞ () : |∂ α (u(x)−u(y))|/|x − y|n/ p+λ ∈ L p (×), ∀α ∈ (Z∪{0})n , |α| = [s] (1.1.35) in terms of the norm 1/ p

1.1.4 Interpolation Inequalities The following Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities (see, e.g., Nirenberg [299] and Friedman [108]) play a very important role in the theory and applications of partial differential equations. First we introduce some notation. For p > 0, |u| p, = u L p () . For p < 0, set −n/ p = h + α with h = [−n/ p] and α ∈ [0, 1). We deﬁne |u| p, = sup |D h u| ≡ sup |D β u|, if α = 0,

Let j, m be any integers satisfying 0 ≤ j < m, and let 1 ≤ q, r ≤ ∞, and p ∈ R, j/m ≤ α ≤ 1 such that 1/ p − j/n = α[1/r − m/n] + (1 − α)/q. Then (i) For any u ∈ W m,r (Rn ) ∩ L q (Rn ), there is a positive constant C depending only on n, m, j, q, r, α such that the following inequality holds: |D j u| p ≤ C|D m u|rα |u|1−α q

(1.1.50)

with the following exception: if 1 < r < ∞ and m − j − n/ p is a non-negative integer, then (1.1.50) holds only for α satisfying j/m ≤ α < 1. (ii) For any u ∈ W m,r () ∩ L q () where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, there are two positive constants C1 , C2 such that the following inequalities hold: α |D j u| p, ≤ C1 |D m u|r, |u|1−α (1.1.51) q, + C2 |u|q, with the same exception as in (i). m, p In particular, for any u ∈ W0 () ∩ L q (), the constant C2 in (1.1.51) can be taken as zero.

1.2 Some Inequalities in Analysis In this section we shall recall integration inequalities such as the classical BellmanGronwall inequality, the generalized Bellman-Gronwall inequality and the uniform Bellman-Gronwall inequality. These inequalities furnish some powerful tools in establishing the global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions to nonlinear evolutionary differential equations arising from physics, ﬂuid mechanics, and materials science, etc.

1.2.1 The Classical Bellman-Gronwall Inequality The following is the very famous Bellman-Gronwall inequality which plays a crucial role in analysis, especially in the study of existence, uniqueness and stability and estimates of solutions to differential equations (see, e.g., Bellman [34–37] and Gronwall [130]). Theorem 1.2.1. (The Classical Bellman-Gronwall Inequality) Let y(t) and g(t) be non-negative, continuous functions on 0 ≤ t ≤ τ , for which the inequality t y(t) ≤ η + g(s)y(s)ds, 0 ≤ t ≤ τ, (1.2.1) 0

holds, where η is a non-negative constant. Then

(1.2.2)

Remark 1.2.1. In 1919, Gronwall [130] showed the case of g(t) = constant ≥ 0. Later in 1934, Bellman [35] (see, e.g., Kuang [206]) extended this result to the form of Theorem 1.2.1. Since this type of inequalities is a very powerful and useful tool in analysis, more and more improvements and generalizations of the classical Bellman-Gronwall inequality have been made. Remark 1.2.2. Bellman proved another inequality as follows (see, e.g., Kuang [206]): Let u(t), b(t) be continuous on (α, β), and b(t) be non-negative. If t u(t) ≤ u(t0 ) + b(s)u(s)ds, t0 , t ∈ (α, β), t0

19

then for any t ≥ t0 , t t u(t0 ) exp − b(s)u(s)ds ≤ u(t) ≤ u(t0 ) exp b(s)u(s)ds . t0

t0

The above theorem provides bounds on solutions of (1.2.1) in terms of the solution of a related linear integral equation t v(t) = η + g(s)v(s)ds (1.2.3) 0

and is one of the basic tools in the theory of differential equations. On the basis of various motivations it has been extended and used considerably in various contexts. For instance, in the Picard-Cauchy type of iteration for establishing existence and uniqueness of solutions, this inequality and its variants play a signiﬁcant role. Inequalities of this type (1.2.1) are also encountered frequently in the perturbation and stability theory of differential equations.

1.2.2 The Generalized Bellman-Gronwall Inequalities The following generalization can be found in Qin [315–321]. Theorem 1.2.2. (The Generalized Bellman-Gronwall Inequality) Assume that f (t), g(t) and y(t) are non-negative integrable functions in [τ, T ] (τ < T ) verifying the integral inequality y(t) ≤ g(t) + Then we have

The Uniform Bellman-Gronwall Inequality

In this subsection we shall review some uniform Gronwall inequalities which provide some uniform bounds or some decay rates. This type of integral inequalities plays a very crucial role in the study of the global well-posedness and large-time behavior of solutions especially in the establishment of the existence of a (global) attractor for a semigroup or a semiﬂow. We begin with the following three theorems which can be found in Temam [407]. Theorem 1.2.3. (The Uniform Bellman-Gronwall Inequality) Let g(t), h(t) and y(t) be three positive locally integrable functions on (t0 , +∞) such that y (t) is locally integrable on (t0 , +∞) and the following inequalities are satisﬁed: dy ≤ gy + h, dt

where r, ai (i = 1, 2, 3) are positive constants. Then we have a 3 y(t + r ) ≤ + a2 ea1 , ∀t ≥ t0 . r In the sequel, we shall review some uniform generalizations which may furnish some large time behavior of functions. This class of inequalities plays a very signiﬁcant role in the study of the global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions to some evolutionary differential equations, and is a very convenient and powerful tool in establishment of the large-time behavior of solutions when we use energy methods to deal with the large-time behavior of global solutions. We begin with some familiar results in classical calculus for single real variable analysis. Lemma 1.2.1. (1) Let y(t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞) with y(t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ≥ 0, y (t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞). Then we have lim y(t) = 0. t →+∞

21

(2) Let y(t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞) with y(t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ≥ 0, and limt →+∞ y(t) exist. Then we have lim y(t) = 0. t →+∞

(3) Let y(t) be uniformly continuous on [0, +∞), y(t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞). Then we have lim y(t) = 0.

t →+∞

(4) Let y(t) be a monotone function on [0, +∞) and y(t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞). Then lim y(t) = 0

t →+∞

and

y(t) = o(1/t) as t → +∞.

Note that the above lemma provides the asymptotic behavior of y(t) for a large time. The next theorem relating to the uniform Gronwall inequality was ﬁrst established by Shen and Zheng [374] in 1993 (see, e.g., Zheng [448]) which is very useful and powerful in dealing with the global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions to some evolutionary differential equations. We W shall apply it frequently in the subsequent context of this book (see, e.g., Qin [315-321] and Chapters 2–6). Theorem 1.2.4. (The Shen-Zheng Inequality) Let T be given with 0 < T ≤ +∞. Suppose that y(t), h(t) are non-negative continuous functions deﬁned on [0, T ] and satisfy the following conditions:

T 0

d y(t) ≤ A1 y 2 + A2 + h(t), dt T y(t)dt ≤ A3 , h(t)dt ≤ A4 0

where Ai (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) are given non-negative constants. Then for any r > 0 with 0 < r < T , the following estimate holds:

A3 y(t + r ) ≤ + A2r + A4 e A1 A3 , t ∈ (0, T − r ). r Furthermore, if T = +∞, then we have lim y(t) = 0.

t →+∞

Krejci and Sprekels [204] in 1998 extended the Shen-Zheng inequality when T = +∞ to the following result (see also Zheng [449, 450]), which can be also considered as a nonlinear generalization of the Bellman-Gronwall inequality in Theorem 1.2.1. Theorem 1.2.5. (The Krejci-Sprekels Inequality) Suppose that y(t) is continuous in [0, +∞), y(t) ≥ 0, y ∈ L 1loc (R+ ) and satisﬁes the following conditions: +∞ y(t)dt ≤ C1 < +∞, 0

( f (y) + h(τ ))dτ, ∀0 ≤ s < t < +∞

s

with f and h satisfying the same assumptions as in Theorem 1.2.5. Then lim y(t) = 0.

t →+∞

From the above context of this subsection, we only know that the non-negative function (y(t), say) goes to zero as time tends to inﬁnity. We have no information on the decay rate of y(t). In fact, the decay rate of y(t) depends on some factors which include some terms in the inequality. This can be clearly seen from the following two theorems, which indicate that when the integral inequality involves a decay term h(t), the corresponding non-negative function y(t) also has a similar decay rate (see, e.g., Mu˜noz Rivera [275]). Theorem 1.2.7. Suppose that y(t) ∈ C 1 (R+ ), y(t) ≥ 0, ∀t > 0 and satisﬁes y (t) ≤ −C0 y(t) + C1 e−γ t where C0 , C1 and γ are positive constants. Then there exist some positive constants C and γ0 such that y(t) ≤ Ce−γγ0 t . Theorem 1.2.8. Suppose that y(t) ∈ C 1 (R+ ), y(t) ≥ 0, ∀t > 0 and satisﬁes y (t) ≤ −K 0 [y(t)]1+1/ p +

K1 (1 + t)1+ p

where K 0 > 0, K 1 > 0 and p > 1 are constants. Then there exists some constant K 2 > 0 such that K 2 [ py(0) + 2K 1 ] y(t) ≤ . (1 + t) p

1.2.4 The Nakao Inequalities In this subsection we shall introduce a series of Nakao inequalities (see, e.g., Nakao [288– 291]). These inequalities are connected with difference inequalities which are not only very important for the study of asymptotic behavior of global solutions, but also seem to be interesting in themselves. One advantage of the Nakao inequalities is that any form of the Nakao inequalities can furnish a decay rate. Theorem 1.2.9. Suppose that φ(t) is a bounded non-negative function on R+ satisfying max φ(s)1+α ≤ K 0 [φ(t) − φ(t + 1)] + g(t)

s∈[t,t +1]

where K 0 > 0 is a constant, g(t) a non-negative function, α a non-negative constant. Then we have (i) if limt →+∞ g(t) = 0, then limt →+∞ φ(t) = 0. Moreover, (ii) if we assume that α > 0 and g(t) ≤ K 1 |t|−θ−1 with constants θ > 1/α, K 1 ≥ 0, then φ(t) ≤ C3 t −1/α , f or t > 0 and (iii) if α = 0 and g(t) ≤ K 2 e−θt with constants θ > 0, K 2 ≥ 0, then φ(t) ≤ C4 e−θ1 t where θ1 = min θ, log other known constants.

The above Nakao inequality (see, e.g., Nakao [291]) has several generalizations which we shall state as follows. Theorem 1.2.10. Suppose that φ(t) is a non-negative continuous nonincreasing function on R+ satisfying the inequality φ(t + T ) ≤ C

with some T > 0, C > 0, 0 < i ≤ 1 and θi ≤ i (i = 1, 2). Then φ(t) has the following decay properties: (i) If 0 < i < 1 with 1 + 2 < 1 and θi < i , i = 1, 2, then φ(t) ≤ C0 (1 + t)−γ with γ = mini=1,2 {(i − θi )/(1 − i )}, where we consider as (i − θi )/(1 − i ) = ∞ if i = 1.

24

Chapter 1. Preliminary

(ii) If θ1 = 1 < 1 and θ2 < 2 ≤ 1, then φ(t) ≤ C0 {log(2 + t)}−1 /(1−1 ) . (iii) If θ1 = 1 < 1 and 2 = θ2 ≤ 1, then φ(t) ≤ C0 {log(2 + t)}−γ˜ with γ˜ = mini=1,2 {i /(1 − i )}. (iv) If 1 = 2 = 1, then φ(t) ≤ C0 exp{−λt 1−θ } if θ < 1, φ(t) ≤ C0 (1 + t)−λ if θ = 1 for some λ > 0, α > 0, where we set θ = min{θ1 , θ2 }. In the above, C0 denotes constants depending on φ(0) and other known constants. Remark 1.2.3. When 1 = 2 and θ1 = θ2 , more detailed results are proved in Nakao [289–290]. Remark 1.2.4. The above theorem can be easily generalized to the following difference inequality of the form φ(t + 1) ≤ C

m (1 + t)θi [φ(t) − φ(t + 1)]i .

For example, if 0 < i < 1 and θi < i , we obtain from (1.2.10) that φ(t) ≤ C0 (1 + t)−η with η = min1≤i≤m {(i − θi )/(1 − i )}. Theorem 1.2.11. Let φ(t) be a non-negative function on R+ ≡ [0, +∞) satisfying sup φ(s)1+γ ≤ K 0 (1 + t)γ {φ(t) − φ(t + 1)}

and if γ = 0, then φ(t) ≤ C0 exp{−λt 1−β } where C0 > 0, λ > 0 are constants.

Theorem 1.2.12. Let φ(t) be a non-negative function on R+ ≡ [0, +∞) satisfying sup

t ≤s≤t +T

φ(s)1+γ ≤ g(t)[φ(t) − φ(t + T )]

with constants T > 0, γ > 0 and g(t) is a non-decreasing function. Then φ(t) has the decay property: −1/γ t φ(t) ≤ φ(0)−γ + γ g(s)−1 ds

f or t ≥ T.

In particular, if γ = 0 and g(t) = constant in the above, then we have φ(t) ≤ Cφ(0) exp{−λt} for some constant λ > 0.

1.3 Some Differential Inequalities for Nonexistence of Global Solutions The following theorem (see, e.g., Ladyzhenskaya, Solonnikov and Uralceva [208], Levine [220–222]) is very useful to prove the nonexistence of global solutions to differential equations. Theorem 1.3.1. Assume that a twice differentiable, positive function (t) satisﬁes for all t > 0 the inequality (t) (t) − (1 + γ )( (t))2 ≥ −2C1 (t) (t) − C2 2 (t)

Assume that φ(t) ∈ C 2 satisﬁes φ (t) ≥ h(φ) (t ≥ 0) and φ(0) = α > 0, φ (0) = β > 0. If for all s ≥ α, h(s) ≥ 0, then in the domain of φ (t), we have φ (t) > 0 and φ(t ) s t≤ [β 2 + 2 h(ξ )dξ ]−1/2 ds. α

The following two results are due to Friedman and Lacey [109] which were used to prove the nonexistence of global solutions. Theorem 1.3.3. Let c(t) and y(t) be two non-negative functions on [0, +∞) and α > 0. Assume that c(t) ∈ L 1 (0, T ) for any T > 0 and y(t) is absolutely continuous and satisﬁes d y(t) + c(t)y 1+α (t) ≤ 0, f or any t > 0. dt Then

Theorem 1.3.4. Let α, C > 0. Let y(t) be a non-negative absolutely continuous function on [0, +∞) satisfying d y(t) + C y 1−α (t) ≤ 0, f or any t > 0. dt Then

If we take f (x) = x p−1 with p > 1 in the above theorem, then we conclude Corollary 1.4.1. There holds that ab ≤

The equalities in (1.4.2) and (1.4.3) hold if and only if b = a p−1 . In Corollary 1.4.1, if we consider a and b as εa and ε −1 b respectively, we can get Corollary 1.4.2. For any ε > 0, there holds that ab ≤

where a, b ≥ 0, p > 1 and 1/ p + 1/q = 1. The Young inequality has several variants in the following. Corollary 1.4.3. (1) Let a, b > 0, 1/ p + 1/q = 1, 1 0; (iii) a α b1−α ≤ αa + (1 − α)b, 0 < α < 1. (2) Let ak ≥ 0, pk > 0, m k=1 pk = 1. Then m k=1

However, as pointed out by Lech [217], in fact it should be called the Roger inequality or Roger-H¨o¨ lder inequality since Roger established the inequality (1.4.4) in 1888 earlier than H¨o¨ lder did in 1889. However, we will follow custom here to call it the H¨o¨ lder inequality. Theorem 1.4.2. If ak ≥ 0, bk ≥ 0 for k = 1, 2, . . . , n, and 1/ p + 1/q = 1 with p > 1, then 1/ p n 1/q n n p q ak bk ≤ ak bk . (1.4.4) k=1

Remark 1.4.2. When p = q = 2, we call (1.4.4)–(1.4.5) the Cauchy inequality, or the Schwarz inequality or the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality or the Bunyakovskii inequality. By virtue of the discrete H¨o¨ lder inequality (Theorem 1.4.2), we easily obtain the integral form of the H¨o¨ lder inequality, namely Theorem 1.4.3. If f ∈ L p (), g ∈ L q () and ⊆ Rn is a smooth open set, then f g ∈ L 1 () and f g L 1 () ≤ f L p () g L q () with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, 1/ p + 1/q = 1 and 1/ p f L p () = | f (x)| p d x ;

If 0 = p < 1, then where when p < 0, we require that ak , bk , ak + bk = 0 (k = 1, 2, . . . ). Moreover, when p = 0, 1, the equality in (1.4.8) holds if the sequences a and b are proportional. When p = 1, the equality in (1.4.9) holds if and only if arg ak = arg bk , ∀k. Remark 1.4.4.

1.4.4 The Jensen Inequality In this subsection, we shall recall the Jensen inequality and the generalized Jensen inequalities due to Steffensen [396] and Ciesielski [60]. Since these inequalities will involve the concept of a convex function on a line segment, we ﬁrst give the deﬁnition of a convex function on a line segment. Deﬁnition 1.4.1. A function f is called convex on a line segment I ⊆ R if and only if f (λx + (1 − λ)y) ≤ λ f (x) + (1 − λ) f (y)

(1.4.12)

holds for all x, y ∈ I and all real numbers λ ∈ [0, 1]. A convex function f on I is said to be strictly convex if the strict inequality holds in (1.4.12) for x = y. If − f is convex on I , then f is said to be concave on I . Among all the inequalities for convex functions, the Jensen inequality should be the famous one which has the discrete form and integral form. The following is the discrete form (see, e.g., Jensen [163]). Theorem 1.4.6. Let φ(u) : [α, β] −→ R be a convex function. Suppose that ak ≥ 0 (k = 1, 2, . . . , n) are non-negative constants verifying ni=1 ak > 0, then for any x 1 , x 2 , . . . , x n ∈ [α, β], we have

1.5. C0 -Semigroups of Linear Operators

1.5 C0 -Semigroups of Linear Operators In this section, we shall recall some basic results on C0 -semigroups of linear operators and global attractors. These results will be used in the following chapters.

1.5.1 C0 -Semigroups of Linear Operators In this subsection we always assume that (X, · ) is a Banach space. Deﬁnition 1.5.1. Let (X, .) (or simply X) be a Banach space. A one-parameter family T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞, of bounded linear operators from X into X is a semigroup of bounded linear operators X if (i) T (0) = I , (I is the identity operator on X ); (ii) T (t + s) = T (t)T (s) for every t, s ≥ 0 (the semigroup property). Deﬁnition 1.5.2. The linear operator A deﬁned by D(A) = x ∈ X : lim(T (t)x − x)/t exi sts t ↓0

(1.5.1)

and

d + T (t)x |t =0 f or x ∈ D(A) (1.5.2) t ↓0 dt is called the inﬁnitesimal generator of the semigroup T (t), D(A) is called the domain of A. Ax = lim(T (t)x − x)/t =

Remark 1.5.1. In some other literature, instead of A in (1.5.2), the operator −A is deﬁned as the inﬁnitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup (see, e.g., Zheng [450]). Deﬁnition 1.5.3. A semigroup T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞, of bounded linear operators on X is a strongly continuous semigroup of bounded linear operators if lim T (t)x = x t ↓0

f or each x ∈ X,

(1.5.3)

that is, lim T (t)x − x = 0 t ↓0

f or each x ∈ X.

(1.5.4)

We call such a strongly continuous semigroup of bounded linear operators on X a semigroup of class C0 or a C0 -semigroup. The inﬁnitesimal generator of T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞ is the operator A which can be deﬁned as in Deﬁnition 1.5.2, but T (t) is only a C0 semigroup of linear (not necessarily bounded) operators on a Banach space X . Deﬁnition 1.5.4. A semigroup T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞ is called a semigroup of contraction (or a non-expansive semigroup) if there exists a constant α ∈ (0, 1] such that T (t)x − T (t)y ≤ αx − y f or all x, y ∈ X.

(1.5.5)

In particular, if α ∈ (0, 1) in (1.5.5), then we call T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞ a semigroup of strict contraction.

Chapter 1. Preliminary

The next theorem is a characterization for a C0 -semigroup, which plays a very crucial role in the study of partial differential equations (see, e.g., Pazy [308]). Theorem 1.5.1. Let T (t) be a C0 -semigroup and let A be its inﬁnitesimal generator. Then a) For any x ∈ X, 1 h→0 h

After having established the above result, we easily derive that Theorem 1.5.2. If A is the inﬁnitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup T (t), then D(A), the domain of A, is dense in X and A is a closed linear operator. Now we recall the characterization of the inﬁnitesimal generators of C0 -semigroups. To this end, we need the concepts of the spectrum and resolvent of an operator. It is well known that many mathematical problems can be reduced to the solvability of operator equations (λI − A)x = 0 and (λI − A)x = y (λ ∈ C) where A is an operator deﬁned on a Banach space X. This means that we have to study the structure of solutions to these two operator equations and hence investigate the spectrum and resolvent of operator A. Moreover, in the theory of semigroups of linear operators we often need to investigate the properties of the spectrum of the inﬁnitesimal generator. In what follows, we assume that X is a complex Banach space. R(A) = { Ax : x ∈ D(A) ⊆ X}, N(A) stands for the null space (or the kernel) of A, i.e., N(A) = {x ∈ X : Ax = 0}. Deﬁnition 1.5.5. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) → X be a closed operator, λ ∈ C. If there exists 0 = x ∈ D(A) such that Ax = λx, then we call λ an eigenvalue of A. The set of all eigenvalues of A is denoted by σ p (A). The nonzero vector x is called an eigenvector of A corresponding to λ. The set E λ = {x : Ax = λx} is called the characteristic space of A. The dimension of E λ , dim E λ , is called the multiplicity of eigenvalue λ.

1.5. C0 -Semigroups of Linear Operators

33

Obviously, E λ = N(λI − A) and E λ is a linear space. If X is a ﬁnite-dimensional space, and if A : X → X is a linear map, then A certainly has some eigenvalues. To see that this is so, introduce a basis for X so that A can be identiﬁed with a square matrix. The following conditions on a complex number λ are then equivalent: (1) A − λI has a nontrivial null space; (2) A − λI is singular; (3) det(A − λI ) = 0 where det is the determinant function. Deﬁnition 1.5.6. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) → X be a closed linear operator, λ ∈ C. If λI − A : D(A) → X is a one-to-one correspondence, and (λI − A)−1 is a bounded linear operator, then we say that λ is a regular value of A. The set of all regular values of A is called the resolvent set of A, denoted by ρ(A). When λ ∈ ρ(A), R(λ; A) ≡ (λI − A)−1 is called the resolvent of A at λ. The set of complex numbers which are not regular values of A is called the spectral set of A, denoted by σ (A). Every point in σ (A) is called a spectral point. Obviously, any eigenvalue of A is a spectral point of A. Remark 1.5.2. In other literature, there is another deﬁnition of ρ(A): ρ(A) = λ ∈ C : D((λI − A)−1 ) is dense in X and (λI − A)−1 is bounded on its domain . However, it is easy to show that these two deﬁnitions of ρ(A) coincide if A ∈ C(X X ), the space of all operators which are continuous on X (see, e.g., Belleni-Morante and McBride [33]). Remark 1.5.3. If A is not necessarily closed, (λI − A)−1 may be extended to the whole space X. Deﬁnition 1.5.7. The operator deﬁned by R(λ; A) ≡ (λI − A)−1 (whenever it exists) is called the resolvent operator. The resolvent operator plays a very crucial role in the study of the local and/or global well-posedness of solutions to differential equations. This can be seen from the following example. For any given λ ∈ ρ(A) and g ∈ X, the equation (λI − A) f = g,

f ∈ D(A)

(1.5.10)

has a unique solution f = (λI − A)−1 g = R(λ, A)g ∈ D(A). Furthermore, let fi (i = 1, 2) be two solutions to (1.5.10) corresponding to gi ∈ X (i = 1, 2) and g1 − g2 be

34

Chapter 1. Preliminary

small, then f1 − f 2 D( A) is also small, in fact, due to the boundedness of R(λ, A), we have f 1 − f 2 D( A) = R(λ, A)(g1 − g2 ) ≤ R(λ, A)g1 − g2 where f1 D( A) = f 1 + A f 1 is the graph norm. This implies that if λ ∈ ρ(A), the equation (1.5.10) is well posed since we have obtained existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions. In such an ideal way our problem can be resolved. Just for this reason, we call the operator R(λ; A) (whenever it exists) the resolvent operator and the set ρ(A) the resolvent set. On the other hand, when λ ∈ σ (A), we encounter many difﬁculties in trying to solve equation (1.5.10). The situation now is rather complicated, requiring the spectrum σ (A) need to be subdivided. Further, we may investigate the structure in detail (see, e.g., Belleni-Morante and McBride [33], and Kato [186]). First, if there exists λ ∈ C such that (λI − A)−1 exists, then we have three cases for the range of λI − A in the following: (1) R(λI − A) = X : in this case, due to the closedness of A, (λI − A)−1 is a closed operator, i.e., it is a closed operator on the whole space X which implies, by the Closed Graph Theorem, that (λI − A)−1 is a linear bounded operator on X , hence λ ∈ ρ(A). (2) R(λI − A) = X, R(λI − A) = X; (3) R(λI − A) = X. We have the following deﬁnition for the complex number λ in the above cases (2) and (3). Deﬁnition 1.5.8. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) → X be a closed linear operator, λ ∈ C. If there exists λ such that (λI − A)−1 exists, but R(λI − A) = X, R(λI − A) = X , then we say that λ is a continuous spectrum of A, and the set of all continuous spectra of A is denoted by σc (A). If there exists λ such that (λI − A)−1 exists, but R(λI − A) = X, then we say that λ is a rest spectrum of A, and the set of all rest spectra of A is denoted by σr (A). It follows from the above deﬁnition that σ (A) = σ p (A) ∪ σc (A) ∪ σr (A). Generally speaking, for a linear operator A, there may exist three kinds of spectral points. Now we recall the characterization of the inﬁnitesimal generators of C0 -semigroups. First, we have (see, e.g., Pazy [308]) Theorem 1.5.3. Let T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞ be a C0 -semigroup on a Banach space X. Then there exist constants M > 0 and ω ≥ 0 such that T (t) ≤ Meωt f or all t ≥ 0.

(1.5.11)

Obviously, if M = 1 and ω = 0 in (1.5.11), then we obtain a C0 -semigroup of non-expansions or contractions.

1.5. C0 -Semigroups of Linear Operators

Deﬁnition 1.5.9. For real numbers M > 0 and ω ≥ 0, let G(M, ω; X ) denote the set of generators of C0 -semigroups T (t), 0 ≤ t < ∞ on a Banach space X satisfying (1.5.11). With the above notation, we are now in a position to state necessary and sufﬁcient conditions for an operator A to be in the class G(M, ω; X). We have (see, e.g., BelleniMorante and McBride [33], Chapter 3 and Pazy [308], Chapter 1). Theorem 1.5.4. (The Hille-Yoshida Theorem) A ∈ G(M, ω; X ) if and only if (i) A is a closed linear operator whose domain D(A) is dense in X; and (ii) for all real numbers λ > ω, λ ∈ ρ(A) (the resolvent set of A), and [R(λ; A)]n ≤

M (λ − ω)n

f or n = 1, 2, . . . .

(1.5.12)

Remark 1.5.4. If the condition (1.5.12) is replaced by the condition that for all complex numbers Re λ > ω, λ ∈ ρ(A) and [R(λ; A)]n ≤

M (Re λ − ω)n

f or n = 1, 2, . . . ,

(1.5.13)

then Theorem 1.5.4 still holds. It is well known that the C0 -semigroups of contractions occur frequently in practice, so in the following we shall pay attention to studying the characterization of their inﬁnitesimal generators in more detail. To this end, let V (μ, A) = (I − μA)−1 = μ−1 R(μ−1 ; A) wherever the last expression is meaningful. For ﬁxed A, we shall usually write V (μ, A) as V (μ). We shall state the Hille-Yosida Theorem for the inﬁnitesimal generators of C0 -contraction semigroups. Theorem 1.5.5. (The Hille-Yosida Theorem for the Inﬁnitesimal Generators of C0 Contraction Semigroups) The linear operator A generates a C0 -semigroup of contracX if and only if tions on X (i.e., A ∈ G(1, 0; X)) (i) A is a linear operator whose domain D(A) is dense in X, and (ii) for all real numbers μ > 0, μ ∈ ρ(A) with V (μ) ≤ 1. Remark 1.5.5. The assumption that D(A) is dense in X is not crucial, for if D(A) is not dense, A ∈ G(1, 0; D(A)).

Chapter 1. Preliminary

Now we shall recall the Lumer-Phillips theorem which is very useful in the theory of linear semigroups. To state such a theorem, we now introduce the concept of dissipative operator which is borrowed from the case where X is a Hilbert space. We assume that X ∗ is the dual space of X . We denote the value of x ∗ ∈ X ∗ at ∗ x ∈ X by x ∗ or x ∗ , x. For each x ∈ X , we deﬁne x, the duality set F(x) ⊆ X by ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 2 ∗ 2 F(x) = x : x ∈ X and x , x = x = x . From the Hahn-Banach theorem it follows that F(x) = ∅ for every x ∈ X . Deﬁnition 1.5.10. A linear operator A is dissipative if for every x ∈ D(A) there is an x ∗ ∈ F(x) such that ReAx, x ∗ ≤ 0. The next theorem is a useful characterization of dissipative operators. Theorem 1.5.6. A linear operator A : X ⊃ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X is dissipative if and only if (λI − A)x ≤ λx f or all x ∈ D(A), λ > 0. (1.5.14) Remark 1.5.6. The motivation for the use of the word “dissipative” comes from the case where X is a Hilbert space. Then, for a linear operator A, condition (1.5.14) is equivalent to the condition Re(x, Ax) ≤ 0 f or all f ∈ D(A) (1.5.15) where (., .) denotes the scalar inner product on X. Deﬁnition 1.5.11. A linear operator A : X ⊃ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X is m-dissipative if A is dissipative and R(λI − A) = X f or all λ > 0 that is, for any given g ∈ X, there is f ∈ D(A) such that (λI − A) f = g. By virtue of the above two deﬁnitions, we readily conclude Corollary 1.5.1. Every m-dissipative operator is a dissipative operator. Now we state the Lumer-Phillips theorem as follows (see, e.g., Pazy [308]). Theorem 1.5.7. (The Lumer-Phillips Theorem of the Inﬁnitesimal Generators of Contraction Semigroups) The linear operator A generates a C0 -semigroup of contracX if and only if tions on X (i.e., A ∈ G(1, 0; X)) (i) D(A) is dense in X, and (ii) A is m-dissipative. Corollary 1.5.2. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X be a linear operator with dense domain D(A) in X. Then if A is dissipative and there is a λ0 > 0 such that the range, R(λ0 I − A), of λ0 I − A is X (i.e., R(λ0 I − A) = X ), then A is the inﬁnitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup of contractions on X. Moreover, for any x ∈ D(A) and every x ∗ ∈ F(x), ReAx, x ∗ ≤ 0.

1.6. Global Attractors

37

The next result indicates that we can judge that a densely deﬁned closed linear operator A is the inﬁnitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup of contractions not only from this operator A itself but also from its adjoint operator A∗ . Theorem 1.5.8. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X be a closed linear operator with dense domain D(A) in X. If both A and A∗ , the adjoint operator of A, are dissipative, then A is the inﬁnitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup of contractions on X. We conclude this subsection with some properties of dissipative operators. Theorem 1.5.9. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X be a dissipative operator. Then (a) If for some λ0 > 0, R(λ0 I − A) = X, then R(λI − A) = X for all λ > 0. ¯ the closure of A, is also dissipative. (b) If A is closable, then A, (c) If D(A) = X, then A is closable. Theorem 1.5.10. Let A : X ⊇ D(A) −→ R(A) ⊆ X be a dissipative operator with R(I − A) = X. If X is reﬂexive, then D(A) = X.

1.6 Global Attractors For a given nonlinear evolution equation, once it is known that a solution exists for all time t > 0, a natural and interesting question is to ask about the asymptotic behavior of the solution as t → +∞. As stated in Zheng [450], the study of asymptotic behavior of the solution to a nonlinear evolutionary equation as time goes to inﬁnity can be divided into two categories. The ﬁrst category is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions for any given initial datum. The second category is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of all solutions when initial data vary in any bounded set. There are essentially ﬁve apparently distinct properties that a semigroup may possess and such that each of them together with the existence of a bounded absorbing set leads to the existence of a global attractor. They are (uniform) compactness, asymptotic smoothness, asymptotic compactness, weak compactness and ω-limit compactness. The ﬁrst condition is that a semigroup S(t) is such that S(t0 ) is a compact operator for some t0 ≥ 0; the second one is that for any closed, bounded, positively invariant set B there exists a compact set K = K (B) which attracts B; and the third one is the precompactness of the sequence S(tt j )u j j ∈N for every bounded sequence u j j ∈N in the phase space and every sequence {tt j } j ∈N of positive numbers with t j → ∞. The fourth one is induced by a sequence of two spaces, one of which can be embedded compactly into the other. The ﬁrst condition is stronger than the other three, but the second and the third are, in fact, quite related. The main difference lies in the methods used in the applications in order to establish any one of those conditions. The choice of the proper method depends on the nature of each problem. The ﬁfth one is to use the measure of non-compactness to show ω-limit compactness of the semigroup.

Chapter 1. Preliminary

Compactness was the ﬁrst one to be used. If the dynamical system is ﬁnite dimensional (corresponding to ordinary differential equations), this condition is a trivial consequence of the existence of an absorbing set in the phase, however for parabolic equations on bounded spatial domains this compactness property follows from a regularization of the solutions and some compact Sobolev embedding theorem (i.e., we can obtain the existence of a compact absorbing set). However, the solution semigroup fails to be compact for most of the inﬁnite-dimensional dynamical systems arising from weakly damped hyperbolic equations or parabolic equations on unbounded domains, even if there is an absorbing set in the phase space. Therefore, this method breaks down here. Asymptotic smoothness and asymptotic compactness properties are needed to handle those non-compact semigroups. One approach is to show the so-called β-contraction property of the semigroup, which implies asymptotic smoothness. This condition has been successfully used by Hale [135] and many other authors. Another approach is to decompose the solution semigroup into two parts: a (uniformly) compact part and a part which decays (uniformly) to zero as time goes to inﬁnite (see, e.g., Temam [407]). Then, the proof of the existence of a global attractor using this splitting amounts to (essentially or explicitly) proving either asymptotic smoothness or asymptotic compactness of the semigroup. It has been observed that splitting of the semigroup into a (uniformly) compact part and a (uniformly) decaying part is actually necessary and sufﬁcient for the existence of a global attractor in the case where the phase space is a Hilbert space, and note that the same equivalence holds if the phase space is a uniformly convex Banach space. This means that a decomposition of the solution semigroup must exist if the global attractor exists. However, it may be difﬁcult to ﬁnd such a decomposition in applications. For example, no suitable decomposition has yet been found for the Kdv equation or for the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on unbounded domains when the forcing term does not belong to some weighted Sobolev space. Weak compactness was used by Ghidaglia [117] to establish the existence of global attractors for nonlinear damped Schr¨o¨ dinger equations. A new method called the energy equation method was recently established to derive the existence of a global attractor (see, e.g., Moise, Rosa and Wang [270]). This approach is relatively simple in that the assumptions are straightforward and may be veriﬁed directly from the equations. In most applications, the central part lies in establishing an energy-type equation (this may not be trivial, though, and is open for the Navier-Stokes equations in space dimension 3). For parabolic-type problems, the typical way is to establish enough regularity for the solutions, which then imply the energy equation. For hyperbolic-type problems, the typical way is to use time reversibility to establish the energy equation. Ball [22, 23] ﬁrst used the energy equation method together with asymptotically compactness to prove the existence of global attractors, later on Ghidaglia [117], Ghidaglia and Temam [119], Goubet [125], Goubet and Moise [126], Moise and Rosa [269], Rosa [362], Wang [421] also used this approach to show the existence of global attractors. Ma, Wang and Zhong [246] devised a new method and used the measure of noncompactness to show ω-limit compactness of the semigroup.

1.6. Global Attractors

39

Zhong, Yang and Sun [457] established the existence of global attractors for the norm-to-weak continuous semigroups. Recently, Pata and Zelik [307] proved a result of existence of global attractors for semigroups of closed operators which embrace the norm-to-weak continuous semigroups. In this section, we shall review some results on the global attractors, some of which will be used in the following context.

1.6.1 Compact Semigroups (Semiﬂows) for Autonomous Systems In this subsection, we recall some basic results on the global attractors of the compact semigroups (and semiﬂows). We consider the operator semigroups S(t) acting on a set E. Usually E is a complete metric space or a Banach space. In particular, E can be a closed subset of a Banach space. The concepts of semigroups and C0 -semigroups have been stated above. Here we only state the concept of semiﬂows. Deﬁnition 1.6.1. A semiﬂow S(t) on E is deﬁned to be a mapping (t, w) = S(t)w, where : [0, +∞) × E −→ E satisﬁes the following three properties: (1) S(0)w = w, ∀w ∈ E. (2) The restricted mapping : (0, +∞) × E −→ E is continuous. (3) The following semigroup property holds: S(s)S(t)w = S(s+t)w, ∀w ∈ E, s, t ∈ [0, +∞). We assume that a semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) acts on a metric space or a Banach space E. Let B(E) be the collection of all bounded sets in E with respect to the metric in E. Deﬁnition 1.6.2. The semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) is called (E, E)-bounded for t ≥ 0 if S(t)B ∈ B(E) for any B ∈ B(E) and for all t ≥ 0. The semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) is called (E, E)-bounded uniformly in t ≥ 0 if for any B ∈ B(E), there exists B1 ∈ B(E) such that S(t)B ⊆ B1 for all t ≥ 0. Deﬁnition 1.6.3. A set B0 ⊆ E is said to be absorbing if for every B ∈ B(E), there is a time t B = t (B) > 0 such that S(t)B ⊆ B0 for all t ≥ t B . An equivalent deﬁnition of an absorbing set in Hale [135] ] is the point dissipation which will be stated as follows. Deﬁnition 1.6.4. A semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) on E is said to be point dissipative if there is a bounded set B0 in E with property that for every w ∈ E, there is a time tw = t (w) such that S(t)w ∈ B0 , for all t > tw . In this case, the set B0 is referred to as an absorbing set for the semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t). Deﬁnition 1.6.5. A set P ⊆ E is said to be an attracting set for a semigroup (semiﬂow) if for every B ∈ B(E), dist E (S(t)B, P) → 0 as t → +∞.

Here

dist E (X, Y ) = sup inf y − x E , X, Y ⊆ E. x∈X y∈Y

Deﬁnition 1.6.6. The semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) on E is said to be a compact semigroup for t > 0 if for every B ∈ B(E) and every t > 0, the set S(t)B lies in a compact set in E, or equivalently, S(t) admits a compact absorbing set P, P →

→

E (i.e., the embedding from P into E is compact). It is said to be an asymptotically compact semigroup if there exists a compact attracting set K , K →

→

E. To study the asymptotic behavior of a solution, we have to investigate the structure of the ω-limit set ω(A) by ω(A) = ∩s≥0 ∪t ≥s S(t)A (1.6.1) where A is a set in E and the closure is taken in E. Equivalently, ω(A) can be also deﬁned as ω(A) = φ : ∃ tn → +∞ and a sequence φn ∈ A

such that S(ttn )φn → φ as n → +∞ .

(1.6.2)

In the following theorem we collect some properties of ω(A). Theorem 1.6.1. Assume that S(t) is a nonlinear C0 -semigroup (semiﬂow) and B is a nonempty set in E. Then we have (1) ω(B) is positively invariant, i.e., for all t ≥ 0, S(t)ω(B) ⊆ ω(B); (2) if there is t0 > 0 such that

(1.6.3)

∪t ≥t0 S(t)B

is relatively compact in E, then ω(B) is a nonempty, compact invariant set. Furthermore, if B is connected, then ω(B) is also connected. In particular, if E is a complete metric space, B = {x} ⊂ E and there is t0 ≥ 0 such that ∪t ≥t0 S(t)x is relatively compact in E, then the ω-limit set ω(x) is a compact, connected invariant set. Now we begin with the discussion of a global attractor. Deﬁnition 1.6.7. Assume that E is a complete metric space, and S(t) is a nonlinear C0 semigroup (semiﬂow) of operators deﬁned on E. A set A ⊆ E is called an attractor if the following conditions hold: (i) A is invariant under S(t), i.e., S(t)A = A, ∀t ≥ 0.

(1.6.4)

(ii) A possesses an open neighborhood U such that for any element u 0 ∈ U as t → +∞, S(t)u 0 converges to A A, i.e., dist(S(t)u 0 , A) = inf d(S(t)u 0 , y) → 0, as t → +∞. y∈A

1.6. Global Attractors

41

If A is an attractor, then the maximal open set U satisfying (ii) is called the basin of attraction of A. According to the above deﬁnition, it can be also said that A attracts points of U. If a subset B ⊆ U satisﬁes dist(S(t)B, A) ≡ sup

inf d(x, y) → 0, as t → +∞,

x∈S(t )B y∈A

then A is said to uniformly attract B, or simply A attracts B. Deﬁnition 1.6.8. If A is a compact attractor, and it attracts bounded sets of E, then A is called a global attractor or universal attractor. Remark 1.6.1. It is easy to verify that a global attractor is maximal among all bounded attractors or bounded invariant sets in the sense of inclusion. The following two theorems characterize the existence of a global attractor of a semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t). Theorem 1.6.2. Assume that E is a metric space and S(t) is a nonlinear C0 -semigroup (semiﬂow) deﬁned on E. Let the following conditions hold: (1) S(t) is a continuous (nonlinear) operator from E into itself, ∀t ≥ 0; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 ; (3) for any bounded set B, there is a time t0 (B) ≥ 0 depending on B such that ∪t ≥t0 (B) S(t)B is relatively compact in E, namely S(t) is a uniformly compact semigroup (semiﬂow). Then A = ω(B0 ) is a global attractor and it is connected. However, for some problems of evolutionary differential equations, the above condition (3) is very difﬁcult or impossible to be veriﬁed. In this case, condition (3) can be weakened to some extent. More precisely, we have the following result. Theorem 1.6.3. Assume that E is a metric space and S(t) is a nonlinear C0 -semigroup (semiﬂow) deﬁned on E. Let the following conditions hold: (1) S(t) is a continuous (nonlinear) operator from E into itself, ∀t ≥ 0; (2) there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 ; (3) for any t ≥ 0, S(t) can be written as S(t) = S1 (t) + S2 (t) where S1 (t) satisﬁes condition (3) in Theorem 1.6.2, and S2 (t) is a continuous mapping from E into E, and satisﬁes the following condition: γ K = sup S S2 (t)φ E → 0, as t → +∞ φ∈K

where K is any bounded set in E. Then A = ω(B0 ) is a global attractor and it is connected.

42

Chapter 1. Preliminary

As a corollary of Theorem 1.6.2, we have the following result. Corollary 1.6.1. Let S(t) be a point dissipative, compact semiﬂow on a complete metric space E. Then S(t) has a global attractor A in E. Furthermore, the following conclusions hold: (1) A attracts all bounded sets in E; (2) A is maximal in the sense that every compact invariant set in E lies in A; (3) A is minimal in the sense that if B is any closed set in E that attracts each compact set in E, then one has A ⊂ B; (4) For each bounded set B in E, the ω-limit set ω(B) satisﬁes ω(B) ⊆ A; (5) A is a connected set in E; (6) A is Lyapunov stable, i.e., for every neighborhood V of A and every τ > 0, there is a neighborhood U of A with the property that S(t)U ⊆ V , for all t ≥ τ . (7)

A = ω(B0 ) = ∩s≥0 ∪t ≥s S(t)B0

is invariant under S(t), i.e., S(t)A = A, t ≥ 0. Here B0 is an absorbing set. (8) A is compact.

1.6.2 Weakly Compact Semigroups (Semiﬂows) for Autonomous Systems In this subsection, we introduce an abstract framework due to Ghidaglia [117] which is related to the existence of global attractors of weakly compact semigroups (semiﬂows). This framework is very useful for some non-compact semigroups (semiﬂows) generated by some partial differential equations such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the nonlinear 1D thermoelastic systems which we shall discuss in Chapters 2–4 and Chapter 6, respectively. Theorem 1.6.4. Let H1 , H2, H3 be three Banach spaces verifying the following conditions: (1) the embeddings H3 →

H2 and H2 →

H1 are compact; (2) there are C0 -semigroups (semiﬂows) S(t) on H2 and H3 which map H2, H3 into H2 , H3 respectively and for any t > 0, S(t) are continuous (nonlinear) operators on H2, H3 respectively; (3) the semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) on H3 possesses a bounded absorbing set in H3; then there is a weak universal attractor A3 in H3. If, further, the following conditions are valid, (4) the semigroup (semiﬂow) S(t) on H2 possesses a bounded absorbing set in H2; (5) for any t > 0, S(t) is continuous on bounded sets of H2 for the topology of the norm of H1, then there is a weak universal attractor A2 in H2.

1.7. Bibliographic Comments

43

One of the advantages of the above abstract framework is that we can obtain two universal attractors simultaneously. The other one is that we can use it to deal with a lot of problems that can not generate compact semigroups (semiﬂows). These models include the compressible Navier-Stokes equations to be studied in Chapters 2–4 and the nonlinear 1D thermoviscoelasticity in Chapter 6.

Chapter 2

A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas This chapter is concerned with the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions with arbitrary initial data to a 1D nonlinear viscous heat-conductive real gas with two kinds of boundary conditions. More general constitutive relations will be studied and our assumptions on growth exponents of temperature include cases never before studied. For the results of Sections 2.1–2.2, we consult Qin [315, 318, 319, 321]; for the results of Section 2.3, we refer the readers to Qin [322]; for the results of Sections 2.5– 2.6, we consult Qin [323]. In Chapters 2, 3 and 6, we shall use the following notation: For non-negative integers λ, s and arbitrary T > 0, we deﬁne Dtλ Dxs = ∂ λ+s /∂t λ ∂ x s ,

In Chapters 2, 3 and 6, in general and without danger of confusion we shall use the same symbol to denote state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., p(u, θ ) and p(u(x, t), θ (x, t))., L p , 1 ≤ p ≤ +∞, H 1 = W 1,2 , H01 = W01,2 , denote the usual Lebesgue, Sobolev spaces on (0, 1); . B denotes the norm in the space d B, .: = . L 2 . Analogously, ∂t or dt or a subscript t and, likewise, ∂x or a subscript x, denote the partial derivatives with respect to t and x in the distribution sense, respectively. Letters C (sometimes C , C ) will denote universal constants depending only on the initial data, but independent of any length of time t. Other notation, not described above, will be explained where it appears. In this chapter, we study the global existence and asymptotic behavior, as time tends to inﬁnity, of solutions to a 1D nonlinear viscous heat-conductive real gas for two types of boundary conditions. The system also consists of a hyperbolic equation and two parabolic equations. Some assumptions on the constitutive relations are more general than those in [163, 164] and [190]. The assumptions on exponents q and r include cases not studied before.

2.1 Fixed and Thermally Insulated Boundary Conditions 2.1.1 Main Results This subsection is concerned with global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior, as time tends to inﬁnity, of solutions to a system for a nonlinear viscous, heat-conductive, one-dimensional real gas with ﬁxed and thermally insulated boundary conditions. The referential (Lagrangian) form of the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy

and the second law of thermodynamics is expressed by the Clausius-Duhem inequality Q ≥ 0. (2.1.4) ηt + θ x Here subscripts indicate partial differentiations, u, v, σ, e, Q, η and θ denote speciﬁc volume, velocity, stress, internal energy, heat ﬂux, speciﬁc entropy and temperature, respectively. Note that u, θ and e may take only positive values. We consider the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) in the region {0 ≤ x ≤ 1, t ≥ 0} under initial conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x), v(x, 0) = v0 (x), θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x) on [0, 1],

(2.1.5)

and boundary conditions of the form v(0, t) = v(1, t) = 0,

Q(0, t) = Q(1, t) = 0.

(2.1.6)

For a one-dimensional homogeneous real gas, e, σ, η and Q are given by the constitutive relations e = e(u, θ ), σ = σ (u, θ, vx ), η = η(u, θ ), Q = Q(u, θ, θ x ) (2.1.7) which in order to be consistent with (2.1.4) must satisfy σ (u, θ, 0) = u (u, θ ), η(u, θ ) = − θ (u, θ ), (σ (u, θ, w) − σ (u, θ, 0))w ≥ 0, Q(u, θ, g)g ≤ 0

where = e − θ η is the Helmholtz free energy function. For the case of an ideal gas, i.e., e = cv θ, σ = −R

with suitable positive constants cv , R, μ and k, Kazhikhov [194, 195], Kazhikhov and Shelu-khin [196], Kawashima and Nishida [191], and Nagasawa [283–287] established the existence of global smooth solutions to the system (2.1.1)–(2.1.3). As it is known, the constitutive equations of a real gas are well approximated within moderate ranges of u and θ by the model of an ideal gas. However, under very high temperatures and densities, (2.1.10) becomes inadequate. Thus a more realistic model than (2.1.10) would be a linearly viscous gas (or Newtonian ﬂuid) σ (u, θ, vx ) = − p(u, θ ) +

whose internal energy e and pressure p are coupled by the standard thermodynamical relation eu (u, θ ) = − p(u, θ ) + θ pθ (u, θ ), (2.1.13) to be consistent with (2.1.4). We assume that e, p, σ and k are twice continuously differential on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and there exist the exponents q and r satisfying one of the following relations: 0 ≤ r ≤ 1/3, 1/3 < q,

(2.1.14)

1/3 < r < 4/7, (2r + 1)/5 < q, 4/7 ≤ r ≤ 1, (5r + 1)/9 < q,

(2.1.17) (2.1.18)

concerning growth of the temperature, we require that there be positive constants ν, p1 , p2, k0 and, for any u > 0, that there be positive constants N(u), p3 (u), p4 (u) and k1 (u) such that for any u ≥ u and θ ≥ 0 the following conditions hold: 0 ≤ e(u, 0), ν(1 + θ r ) ≤ eθ (u, θ ) ≤ N(u)(1 + θ r ), 0 < p1 ≤ up(u, θ ) ≤ p2(1 + θ − p3 (u)[l + (1 − l)θ + θ

|ku (u, θ )| + |kuu (u, θ )| ≤ k1 (u)(1 + θ q ).

(2.1.24)

For the viscosity μ(u, θ ), we require that it be independent of θ , uniformly positive, and bounded (2.1.25) 0 < μ0 = μ(u, θ ). We are now in a position to state our main theorem. Theorem 2.1.1. In addition to assumptions (2.1.11)–(2.1.25), we assume that for α2 ∈ (0, 1) the initial data satisfy (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H 1+α2 × H 2+α2 × H 2+α2 and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 for any x ∈ [0, 1], and that the compatibility conditions hold. Then the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) and (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) admits a unique global solution

(u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ BT1+α2 × HT2+α2 × HT2+α2 for any 0 < T < +∞. Moreover, as t → +∞, we have u − u 0 H 1 → 0, v H 1 → 0, v L ∞ → 0, θθ x → 0, θ − θ¯ H 1 → 0, θ − θ¯ L ∞ → 0, p(u, θ ) − p(u 0 , θ¯ ) H 1 where u 0 =

and (u 0 , 0, θ¯ ) is the unique solution to the corresponding stationary problem to (2.1.1)– (2.1.3) and (2.1.5)–(2.1.6). Moreover, there exist positive constants t0 > 0, C1 and C1 such that for any t ≥ t0 , there holds u(t) − u 0 H 1 + v(t) H 1 + θ (t) − θ¯ H 1 ≤ C1 exp(−C1 t).

(2.1.30)

Remark 2.1.1. Theorem 2.1.1 is also valid under the assumptions in [163], i.e., (2.1.19), (2.1.22)–(2.1.24) and (2.7.1)–(2.7.2). So the results in Theorem 2.1.1 improve those in [163].

2.1.2 Uniform A Priori Estimates The proof of Theorem 2.1.1 is based on a priori estimates that can be used to continue a local solution globally in time. The existence and uniqueness of local solutions (with positive u and θ ) can be obtained by linearization of the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) and (2.1.5)–(2.1.6), and by use of the Banach contraction mapping theorem. Theorem 2.1.2. Let (u, v, θ ) be a smooth solution as described in Theorem 2.1.1, then we have for any T > 0, (1+α2)

(2.1.34) (2.1.35)

Proof. Noting the positivity of θ0 , (2.1.19), (2.1.23)–(2.1.25) and applying the maximum principle [67] to the equation vx2 k(u, θ )θθ x eθ (u, θ )θt + θ pθ (u, θ )vx − μ0 = , (2.1.36) u u x which is equivalent to (2.1.3), it is easy to see that (2.1.32) holds. Integrating (2.1.1) over Q t := [0, 1] × [0, t] and noting (2.1.6), we have (2.1.33), the conservation law of total energy. Combining (2.1.33) with (2.1.19) leads to (2.1.34) and (2.1.35) is a direct result of (2.1.1) and (2.1.6). Lemma 2.1.2. There holds that for any t > 0, 1 t 1+r 2 [(θ −log θ −1)+θ +v ](x, t)d x + 0

(1 + θ q )θθx2 vx2 (x, s)d x ds ≤ C1 . + uθ uθ 2 (2.1.37)

Proof. Let E(u, θ ) = (u, θ ) − (1, 1) − u (1, 1)(u − 1) − θ (u, θ )(θ − 1). Then

(u, θ ) = e(u, θ ) − θ η(u, θ ) satisﬁes − θ (u, θ ) = η(u, θ ), u (u, θ ) = σ (u, θ, 0) = − p(u, θ ).

(2.1.38)

Thus, by (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.11) and (2.1.38), and noting that eθ (u, θ ) = −θ θθ (u, θ ), we deduce after a direct calculation that

v2 μvx2 k(u, θ )θθ x2 (θ − 1)k(u, θ )θθ x ∂t E(u, θ ) + + + = σv + . (2.1.39) 2 θ θ θ2 x Integrating (2.1.39) over Q t and using (2.1.6) leads to t 1 2 1 v2 k(u, θ )θθ x2 μvx E(u, θ ) + d x ds (x, t)d x + + 2 θ θ2 0 0 0 1 v02 E(u 0 , θ0 ) + d x. (2.1.40) = 2 0 In view of (2.1.21), we have uu (u, 1) = − pu (u, 1) > 0 for u > 0. Therefore it follows from the Taylor theorem and the deﬁnition of E(u, θ ) that E(u, θ ) − (u, θ ) + (u, 1) + (θ − 1) θ (u, θ ) = (u, 1) − (1, 1) − u (1, 1)(u − η0 ) 1 (1 − ξ ) uu (1 + ξ(u − 1), 1)dξ ≥ 0. = (u − 1)2 0

Thus, E(u, θ ) ≥ (u, θ ) − (u, 1) − (θ − 1) θ (u, θ ) 1 2 = −(1 − θ ) (1 − τ ) θθ (u, θ + τ (1 − θ ))dτ

which, combined with (2.1.21) and (2.1.40), yields (2.1.37).

Remark 2.1.2. It follows from the convexity of the function − ln y that there exist two positive constants r1 , r2 depending only on the initial data such that 1 θ d x ≤ r2 . 0 < r1 ≤ 0

Lemma 2.1.3. For any t ≥ 0, there exists one point x 1 = x 1 (t) ∈ [0, 1] such that the solution u(x, t) to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) possesses the following expression: t u(x, s) p(x, s) −1 u(x, t) = D(x, t)Z (t) 1 + μ0 ds (2.1.41) 0 D(x, s)Z (s) where

On the other hand, (2.1.2) can be rewritten as vt − μ0 (log u)xt = − p x = − p ∗x .

(2.1.51)

Integrating (2.1.51) over [x 1 (t), x] × [0, t] for ﬁxed t > 0, we get u(x, t) =

Inserting (2.1.49) into (2.1.52) and noting (2.1.42), (2.1.43) and (2.1.50), we have t 1 u −1 (x, t) exp p(x, s)ds = D −1 (x, t)Z −1 (t) (2.1.53) μ0 0 which implies that t 1 −1 d 1 exp p(x, s)ds = D (x, t)Z −1 (t)u(x, t) p(x, t), dt μ0 0 μ0 i.e.,

Lemma 2.1.4. For any t ≥ 0, there exists one point a(t) ∈ [0, 1] such that the solution u(x, t) to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) possesses the following expression: t 1 −1 −1 u(x, t) = B (x, t)Y (t) 1 + u(x, s) p(x, s)Y (s)B(x, s)ds (2.1.55) μ0 0 where

(2.1.56) (2.1.57) (2.1.58)

Proof. It follows from (2.1.35) that there exists a(t) ∈ [0, 1] such that (2.1.58) holds. Substituting x 1 (t) by a(t) in (2.1.49) yields t 1 p(x, s)ds u(x, t) = Y −1 (t)B −1 (x, t) exp μ0 0 and

t 1 1 d exp p(x, s)ds = p(x, t)u(x, t)Y (t)B(x, t) dt μ0 0 μ0

from which (2.1.55) follows. Lemma 2.1.5. There holds that 0 < C −1 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ C, ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞).

(2.1.59)

Proof. Let Mu (t) = max u(x, t), m u (t) = min u(x, t), x∈[0,1]

x∈[0,1]

Mθ (t) = max θ (x, t), m θ (t) = min θ (x, t). x∈[0,1]

x∈[0,1]

It follows from (2.1.37) and convexity of the function − log y that

with r1 , r2 being two positive roots of the equation y − log y − 1 = C1 .

t u(x, t) ≤ C 1 + V1 (s) exp(−a1 (t − s))M Mu (s)ds 0 t V1 (s)M Mu (s)ds , ≤C 1+ 0

i.e.,

t Mu (t) ≤ C 1 + V1 (s)M Mu (s)ds . 0

Thus, it follows from Gronwall’s inequality and

t 0

(2.1.62)

V1 (s)ds ≤ C that

Mu (t) ≤ C

(2.1.63)

C −1 − C V1 (t) ≤ θ 2m 1 (x, t) ≤ C(1 + V1 (t)).

(2.1.64)

which with (2.1.61) leads to

2.1. Fixed and Thermally Insulated Boundary Conditions

55

Similarly, Lemma 2.1.1–Lemma 2.1.3, (2.1.43) and (2.1.60) yield exp(−a1 t) ≥ Z (t) ≥ exp(−a2 t) and

t u(x, t) ≥ C −1 e−a2 t + e−a2 (t −s)ds ≥ C −1 (1 − ea2 t ). 0

Thus there exists t0 > 0 such that for t ≥ t0 , we have u(x, t) ≥ C −1 .

(2.1.65)

Moreover, we obtain from Lemma 2.1.4 and (2.1.64) that 1 t 1 u 0 Y (t) = u(x, t)Y (t)d x ≤ C 1 + (1 + θ 2m )d x Y (s)ds 0 0 0 t (1 + V1 (s))Y (s)ds . ≤C 1+ 0

By Gronwall’s inequality and noting

t 0

V1 (s)ds ≤ C, we see that

t Y (t) ≤ C exp C (1 + V1 (s))ds ≤ C exp(Ct).

(2.1.66)

0

Thus,

u(x, t) ≥ B −1 (x, t)Y −1 (t) ≥ C −1 Y −1 (t) ≥ C −1

(2.1.67)

for 0 ≤ t ≤ t0 . By (2.1.63), (2.1.65) and (2.1.67), we complete the proof of (2.1.59).

Corollary 2.1.1. There holds that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞), C −1 − C V2 (t) ≤ θ 2m 1 (x, t) ≤ C + C V2 (t) with 0 ≤ m 1 ≤ m = (q + r + 1)/2 and V2 (t) = ∞.

After a lengthy calculation, we deduce that assumptions (2.1.14)–(2.1.18) imply that β32 + β35 < 2q + 2r + 4 or β35 < 2q + r + 3. Therefore, by the Young inequality, we derive from (2.1.103) or (2.1.104) that θ (t) L ∞ ≤ C which, combined with Lemmas 2.1.6–2.1.10, yields the desired estimate (2.1.102).

To end this section, we shall study the asymptotic behavior of solutions. The method for proof of the asymptotic behavior used here is different from that in [165]. Lemma 2.1.12. The following estimates are valid for any t > 0, t ( p∗ 2 + σ ∗ 2 )(s)ds ≤ C,

Lemma 2.1.14. As t → +∞, we have u(t) − u 0 H 1 → 0, u x (t) → 0, u(t) − u 0 L ∞ → 0, v(t) H 1 → 0, vx (t) → 0,

(2.1.115) (2.1.116)

θθx (t) → 0,

(2.1.117)

θ (t) − θ¯ H 1 → 0, θ (t) − θ¯ L ∞ → 0, p (t) → 0, σ (t) → 0, σ (u, θ, vx )(t) + p(u 0 , θ¯ ) → 0.

(2.1.118)

(2.1.119)

Moreover, there exist positive constants t0 , C1 and C1 such that for any t ≥ t0 , u(t) − u 0 H 1 + v(t) H 1 + θ (t) − θ¯ H 1 ≤ C1 exp(−C1 t).

(2.1.120)

Proof. By Lemmas 2.1.11–2.1.13 and applying Theorem 1.2.4, we conclude as t → +∞, u x (t) → 0, θθx (t) → 0, p∗ (t) → 0, σ ∗ (t) → 0.

(2.1.121)

Thus (2.1.115) and (2.1.117) follow from the embedding theorem and (2.1.35). It is obvious from (2.1.121) that

v ∗ x

Chapter 2. A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas

as t → +∞. Thus,

v(t) H 1 ≤ Cvx (t) → 0.

By (2.1.33), Lemmas 2.1.1–2.1.13 and the Poincar´e´ inequality, we can get e(u, θ ) − e(u, ¯ θ¯ ) ≤ e(u, θ ) −

(2.1.123)

1 1 with u¯ = 0 ud x = 0 u 0 d x = u 0 . By the mean value theorem, there are u˜ and θ˜ with u˜ = λθ + (1 − λ)θ¯ and u˜ = λu + (1 − λ)u¯ such that e(u, θ ) − e(u, ¯ u) ¯ = eu (u, ˜ θ˜ )(u − u) ¯ + eθ (u, ˜ θ˜ )(θ − θ¯ ).

(2.1.124)

By Lemmas 2.1.1–2.1.13, we infer that 0 < C −1 ≤ mi n{u, u} ¯ ≤ u˜ ≤ C, 0 < mi n(θ, θ¯ ) ≤ θ˜ ≤ C which along with (2.1.121), (2.1.122) and (2.1.124) gives that, as t → +∞, θ − θ¯ ≤ eθ−1 (u, ˜ θ˜ )[e(u, θ ) − e(u, ¯ θ¯ )] + eθ−1 (u, ˜ θ˜ )eu (u, ˜ θ˜ )(u − u) ¯ −1 −1 ¯ ≤ ν e(u, θ ) − e(u, ¯ θ ) + Cν u − u ¯ ≤ C(u x + θθx + vx ) → 0.

(2.1.125)

Thus (2.1.118) follows from (2.1.121) and (2.1.125). Noting that σ (u, θ, vx ) + p(u, ¯ θ¯ ) = −[ p(u, θ ) − p(u, ¯ θ¯ )] + vx /u, we can derive (2.1.119) from (2.1.121)–(2.1.122) and the mean value theorem. By a similar method as that in Section 2.3 (see also Okada and Kawashima [303]), we can deduce (2.1.120). Proofs of Theorem 2.1.1 and Theorem 2.1.2 Lemmas 2.1.1–2.1.14 yield (2.1.31) by the standard argument (see, e.g., Tani [404]) from which with Lemma 2.1.14, we ﬁnish the proofs of Theorem 2.1.1 and Theorem 2.1.2. Remark 2.1.3. It follows from the proofs of Lemmas 2.1.1–2.1.13, Theorem 2.1.1 and Theorem 2.1.2 that all the constants in Lemmas 2.1.1–2.1.13 depend only on the H 1 norm of the initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ). Therefore the following results of global existence, uniqueness and the same results of the asymptotic behavior as those in Theorem 2.1.1 hold: If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H 1 × H01 × H 1, the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) admits a unique generalized solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in the sense that u ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; H 1), u t (t) ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; L 2 ), (v, θ ) ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; H 1)∩L 2 (0, +∞; H 2)∩H 1 (0, +∞; L 2 ). Moreover, (2.1.115)–(2.1.120) are also valid.

2.2. Clamped and Constant Temperature Boundary Conditions

2.2 Clamped and Constant Temperature Boundary Conditions This section is concerned with the global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior, as time tends to inﬁnity, of solutions to the system (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) under the initial conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x), v(x, 0) = v0 (x), θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x) on [0, 1],

(2.2.1)

and the clamped and constant temperature boundary conditions v(0, t) = v(1, t) = 0, θ (0, t) = θ (1, t) = T0

(2.2.2)

where T0 > 0 is a constant. We assume that e, p, σ and k are twice continuously differential on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and satisfy (2.1.11)–(2.1.25). We are now in position to state our main theorem. Theorem 2.2.1. In addition to the assumptions (2.1.11)–(2.1.25), we assume that for α2 ∈ (0, 1) the initial data satisfy that (u 0 (x), v0 (x), θ0 (x)) ∈ H 1+α2 × H 2+α2 × H 2+α2 and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 for any x ∈ [0, 1], and that the compatibility conditions hold. Then the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) and (2.2.1)–(2.2.2) admits a unique global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ BT1+α2 × HT2+α2 × HT2+α2 for any 0 < T < +∞. Moreover, as t → +∞, we have u(t) − u ¯ H 1 → 0, v(t) H 1 → 0, v(t) L ∞ → 0, θθx (t) → 0, θ (t) − θ¯ H 1 → 0, θ (t) − θ¯ L ∞ → 0,

Remark 2.2.1. Theorem 2.2.1 is also valid under the assumptions in [163], i.e., (2.1.19), (2.1.22)–(2.1.24), (2.7.1)–(2.7.2). Thus the results in Theorem 2.2.1 improve those in [163]. In the sequel, we derive some uniform a priori estimates. Theorem 2.2.2. Let (u, v, θ ) be a smooth solution as described in Theorem 2.2.1, then we have for any T > 0, (1+α2)

uu (u, T0 ) = − pu (u, T0 ) > 0 f or u > 0

(2.2.15)

and it follows from the Taylor theorem and (2.2.12) that E(u, θ ) − (u, θ ) + (u, T0 ) + (θ − T0 ) θ (u, θ ) = (u, T0 ) − (1, T0) − u (1, T0 )(u − 1) 1 (1 − ξ ) uu (1 + ξ(u − 1), T0 )dξ ≥ 0. = (u − 1)2 0

A lengthy calculation implies that (2.1.14)–(2.1.18) give β41 < 2q + r + 3 or β39 + β40 < 2q + 2r + 4. Hence by the Young inequality, we deduce (2.2.49) and (2.2.50) from (2.2.51)–(2.2.52). Since the proof of asymptotic behavior is basically the same as that of Theorem 2.2.1, therefore we will not repeat it here. The proofs of Theorem 2.2.1 and Theorem 2.2.2 are the same as those of Theorem 2.1.1 and Theorem 2.1.2. The similar statements in Remark 2.1.3 are true for the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) and (2.2.1)–(2.2.2).

2.3 Exponential Stability in H 1 and H 2 2.3.1 Main Results Based on the results in Sections 2.1–2.2, in this section we shall further study existence and exponential stability in H+i (i = 1, 2), an incomplete metric subspace of H i × H i × H i (i = 1, 2), of a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) for problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) of a nonlinear heat-conductive viscous real gas in bounded domain = (0, 1). We consider the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) in the region {0 ≤ x ≤ 1, t ≥ 0} under the initial conditions (2.1.5) and the boundary conditions (2.1.6) or (2.2.2).

2.3. Exponential Stability in H 1 and H 2

79

In this section we assume that e, p, σ and k are C 2 or C 3 satisfying (2.1.19)– (2.1.25) (for the precision, see Theorem 2.3.1 and Theorem 2.3.2 below) functions on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞. Let q and r be two positive constants (exponents of growth) satisfying (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). We deﬁne two spaces as follows: H+1 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1], v|x=0 = v|x=1 = 0, θ |x=0 = θ |x=1 = T0 for (2.2.2) and

H+2 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 2[0, 1] × H 2[0, 1] × H 2[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1], v|x=0 = v|x=1 = 0, θx |x=0 = θx |x=1 = 0 for (2.1.6) or θ |x=0 = θ |x=1 = T0 for (2.2.2)

which become two metric spaces when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norms. In the above, H 1, H 2 are the usual Sobolev spaces. We use Ci (sometimes use Ci ) (i = 1, 2) to denote the generic constant depending only on the H i norm of initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ), min u 0 (x) and min θ0 (x), but inx∈[0,1]

x∈[0,1]

dependent of t. Without danger of confusion we will use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., p(u, θ ), and p(u(x, t), θ (x, t)) and p(x, t). We are now in a position to state our main theorems. Theorem 2.3.1. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C 2 functions satisfying (2.1.19)–(2.1.25) on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and q, r satisfy assumptions (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). Then the unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H 1 × H 1 × H 1 to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 . Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , there exists a constant γ1 = γ1 (C1 ) > 0 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ1 ] and for any t > 0, the following inequality holds: (u(t), v(t), θ (t))−(u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H 1 = S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 )−(u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H 1 ≤ C1 e−γ t , (2.3.1) +

Chapter 2. A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas

Remark 2.3.1. Theorem 3.3.1 is also valid under the assumptions in [163], i.e., (2.1.19), (2.1.22)–(2.1.24) and (2.7.1)–(2.7.2). Note that (2.1.14)–(2.1.18) imply 0 ≤ r, r + 1 ≤ q, so the results in Theorem 3.3.1 improve those in [165, 192]. Theorem 2.3.2. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C 3 functions satisfying (2.1.19)–(2.1.25) on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and q, r satisfy (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). Then there exists a unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 to the problem (2.1.1)– (2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 semigroup S(t) (also denoted by S(t) by the uniqueness of solution in H+1 ) on H+2 . Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , there exists a constant γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) > 0 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ] and for any t > 0, the following inequality holds: (u(t), v(t), θ (t))−(u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H 2 = S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 )−(u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H 2 ≤ C2 e−γ t , (2.3.4) +

+

which implies that the semigroup S(t) decays exponentially on

H+2 .

Remark 2.3.2. We know that the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 obtained in Theorem 2.3.2 is not the classical one. Indeed, if (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , by the 1

embedding theorem, we have u 0 , v0 , θ0 ∈ C 1+ 2 (0, 1). If we impose on the higher regularities of v0 , θ0 ∈ C 2+α (0, 1), α ∈ (0, 1), the following results on the global existence of classical (smooth) solutions are obtained in Qin [315, 318, 319]: If in addition to the assumptions in Theorem 2.3.2, we further assume that u 0 ∈ C 1+α (0, 1), v0 , θ0 ∈ C 2+α (0, 1), α ∈ (0, 1) and the compatibility conditions u t |x=0,1 = vt |x=0,1 = θt |x=0,1 = 0 hold, then the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 obtained in Theoα rem 2.3.2 is the classical one satisfying u(x, t) ∈ C 1+α,1+ 2 (Q T ), v(x, t), θ (x, t) ∈ α C 2+α,2+ 2 (Q T ) for any T > 0, Q T = (0, 1) × (0, T ). Moreover, if the initial data possess higher regularities, then the (generalized global) solutions also possess higher regularities. Therefore the generalized (global) solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 can be understood as a generalized (global) solution between the classical (global) solution and the generalized (global) solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 . Remark 2.3.3. The results in Theorem 2.3.2 were not obtained before.

2.3.2 Exponential Stability in H 1 In this subsection we shall complete the proof of Theorem 2.3.1 and assume that the assumptions in Theorem 2.3.1 are valid. We begin with the following lemma. Lemma 2.3.1. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then there exists a unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)– (2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes u t , vt , θt , θx , vx , u x , vx x , θx x ∈ L 2 ([0, +∞), L 2 ),

and there exist positive constants C1 , t0 , C1 , independent of t, such that (u(t) − u, ¯ v(t), θ (t) − θ¯ ) H 1 ≤ C1 e−C1 t , ∀t ≥ t0 .

(2.3.9)

Proof. See, e.g., Theorems 2.1.1 and 2.2.1.

Lemma 2.3.2. The unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 . Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) = S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ C([0, +∞), H+1 ), u(t) ∈ C

(2.3.10) (2.3.11)

Proof. For any t1 ≥ 0, t > 0, integrating (2.1.1) over (t1 , t) and using Lemma 2.3.1, we obtain t 1/2 u(t) − u(t1 ) H 1 ≤ C1 (vx 2 + vx x 2 )dτ |t − t1 |1/2 ≤ C1 |t − t1 |1/2 t1

which implies u(t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), H 1). In the same manner we easily prove v(t), θ (t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), L 2 ). Thus (2.3.11) follows. By Lemma 2.3.1, we know that for any t > 0, the operator S(t) : (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 −→ (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+1 exists and, by the uniqueness of generalized global solutions, satisﬁes on H+1 that for any t1 , t2 ∈ [0, +∞), S(t1 + t2 ) = S(t1 )S(tt2 ) = S(tt2 )S(t1 ).

(2.3.12)

Moreover, by Lemma 2.3.1, S(t) is uniformly bounded on H+1 with respect to t > 0, i.e., S(t)L(H H 1 ,H H 1 ) ≤ C1 . +

(2.3.13)

We ﬁrst verify the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+1 for any ﬁxed t > 0. To this end, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+1 , (u j , v j , θ j ) = S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ( j = 1, 2), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) − (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ).

Multiplying (2.3.14), (2.3.15) and (2.3.16) by u, v and θ respectively, adding them up and integrating the result over [0, 1], and using Lemma 2.3.1, (2.3.17)–(2.3.18), the Cauchy inequality, the embedding theorem and the mean value theorem, we deduce that for any small > 0, 1 1 d μ0 vx2 2 2 2 2 (u(t) + v(t) + eθ (u 1 , θ1 )θ (t) ) + + k(u 1 , θ1 )θθx d x 2 dt u1 0 ≤ (vx (t)2 + θθx (t)2 ) + C1 H1(t)(u(t)2 + θ (t)2H 1 ) which, together with Lemma 2.3.1, leads to d (u(t)2 + v(t)2 + eθ (u 1 , θ1 )θ (t)2 ) + C1−1 (vx (t)2 + θθx (t)2 ) dt (2.3.19) ≤ C1 H1(t)(u(t)2 + θ (t)2H 1 ) where, by (2.3.18), H1(t) = θ1t (t)2 +θ2t (t)2 +v1x x (t)2 +v2x x (t)2 +θ1x x (t)2 + θ2x x (t)2 + 1 satisﬁes for any t > 0, t H1(τ )dτ ≤ C1 (1 + t).

Differentiating (2.3.14) with respect to x, multiplying the result by u x and integrating by parts, and using (2.3.21), we derive that for any small δ > 0, d u x (t)2 ≤ C1 δvt (t)2 + C1 (δ)H1(t)(vx (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ). (2.3.22) dt Multiplying (2.3.15) by vt , integrating it over [0, 1], and using Lemma 2.3.1, (2.3.17), the embedding theorem and the mean value theorem, we obtain d vx √ (t)2 + C1−1 vt (t)2 ≤ C1 H1 (t)(vx (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ). (2.3.23) dt u1 Similarly to (2.3.21), by (2.3.16), we infer that θθx x (t)2 ≤ C1 θt (t)2 + C1 H1(t)(vx (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ).

(2.3.24)

Similarly to (2.3.23), multiplying (2.3.16) by θt and using (2.3.17)–(2.3.24), we get d k (u 1 , θ1 )θθx (t)2 + C1−1 θt (t)2 ≤ C1 H1 (t)(vx (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ). dt (2.3.25) Adding up (2.3.19), (2.3.22), (2.3.23) and (2.3.25), and taking δ > 0 small enough, we ﬁnally conclude d M1 (t) ≤ C1 H1(t)(vx (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ) ≤ C1 H1(t)M1 (t) (2.3.26) dt where

Thus (2.3.26), combined with Gronwall’s inequality, (2.3.20) and (2.3.27), implies for any ﬁxed t > 0, t u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ≤ C1 M1 (0) exp(C1 H1 (τ )dτ ) 0 2 ≤ C1 exp(C1 t)(u 0 H 1

(2.3.28)

which leads to the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+1 . By (2.3.12)– (2.3.13), in order to derive (2.3.10), it sufﬁces to show that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 → 0, as t → 0+ , +

which also yields S(0) = I

with I being the unit operator on To derive (2.3.29), we choose a function sequence m , θ m ) which is smooth enough, for example, (u m , v m , θ m ) ∈ (C 1+α (0, 1) × , v (u m 0 0 0 0 0 0 C 2+α (0, 1) × C 2+α (0, 1)) ∩ H+1 for some α ∈ (0, 1), such that m m (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 → 0, as m → +∞. +

(2.3.31)

By the regularity results (see also Remark 2.3.2), we conclude that for arbitrary but ﬁxed T > 0, there exists a unique global smooth solution (u m (t),v m (t),θ m (t)) ∈ (C 1+α (Q T )× C 2+α (Q T ) × C 2+α (Q T )) ∩ H+1 , Q T = (0,1) × (0,T ). This gives for m = 1, 2, 3, . . . m m + (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 → 0, as t → 0 . +

(2.3.32)

Fixing T = 1, by the continuity of the operator S(t), (2.3.28) and (2.3.31), for any t ∈ [0, 1], (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) H 1

as m → +∞. This together with (2.3.31) and (2.3.32) implies S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 +

which gives (2.3.29) and (2.3.30). Thus S(t) is a C0 -semigroup on H+1 satisfying (2.3.10)– (2.3.11). The proof of Lemma 2.3.2 is complete. The next lemma concerns the uniform global (in time) positive lower boundedness (independent of t) of the absolute temperature θ , which was not obtained before. Lemma 2.3.3. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t), ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞). (2.3.33) Proof. We prove (2.3.33) by contradiction. If (2.3.33) is not true, that is, inf

(x,t )∈[0,1]×[0,+∞)

θ (x, t) = 0,

then there exists a sequence (x n , tn ) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞) such that as n → +∞, θ (x n , tn ) → 0.

(2.3.34)

If the sequence {ttn } has a subsequence, denoted also by tn , converging to +∞, then by the asymptotic behavior results in Lemma 2.3.1, we know that as n → +∞, θ (x n , tn ) → θ¯ > 0 which contradicts (2.3.34). If the sequence {ttn } is bounded, i.e., there exists a constant M > 0, independent of n, such that for any n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , 0 < tn ≤ M. Thus there exists a point (x ∗ , t ∗ ) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, M] such that (x n , tn ) → (x ∗ , t ∗ ) as n → +∞. On the other hand, by (2.3.34) and the continuity of solutions in Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.2, we conclude that θ (x n , tn ) → θ (x ∗ , t ∗ ) = 0 as n → +∞, which contradicts (2.3.6). Thus the proof is complete. In what follows we shall prove the exponential stability of C0 -semigroup S(t), i.e., (2.3.1). We shall use a modiﬁed idea in Okada and Kawashima [303] to prove (2.3.1). Now we introduce the density of the gas, ρ = 1/u, then we know from (2.1.8)–(2.1.9) and (2.1.11)–(2.1.13) that the entropy η = η(1/ρ, θ ) satisﬁes ∂η/∂ρ = − pθ /ρ 2 ,

∂η/∂θ = eθ /θ.

(2.3.35)

We consider the transform A : (ρ, θ ) ∈ Dρ,θ = {(ρ, θ ) : ρ > 0, θ > 0} −→ (u, η) ∈ ADρ,θ

(2.3.36)

where u = 1/ρ and η = η(1/ρ, θ ). Owing to the Jacobian |∂(u, η)/∂(ρ, θ )| = −eθ /ρ 2 θ < 0 on Dρ,θ , there is a unique inverse function θ = θ (u, η) as a smooth function of (u, η) ∈ ADρ,θ . (In fact, Dρ,θ and ADρ,θ are bounded domains, e.g., Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.2). Thus the functions e, p can be also regarded as smooth functions of (u, η). We denote by e = e(u, η) :≡ e(u, θ (u, η)) = e(1/ρ, θ ),

p = p(u, η) :≡ p(u, θ (u, η)) = p(1/ρ, θ ).

Then it is obvious from (2.1.8)–(2.1.9), (2.1.11)–(2.1.13) and (2.3.35)–(2.3.36) that e, p satisfy eu = − p, eη = θ, pη = θ pθ /eθ , θu = −θ pθ /eθ ,

pu = −(ρ 2 pρ + θ pθ2 /eθ ), θη = θ/eθ .

(2.3.38)

where ρ¯ = 1/u, ¯ η¯ = η(1/ρ, ¯ θ¯ ). The next two lemmas concern exponential decay of the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 (or equivalently, of C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+i ). Lemma 2.3.4. The unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes the estimates v2 v2 + C1−1 (|u − u| + C1 (|u − u| ¯ 2 + |η − η| ¯ 2 ) ≤ E(u, v, η) ≤ ¯ 2 + |η − η| ¯ 2 ). (2.3.39) 2 2 Proof. By the mean value theorem, there exists a point ( u, η) between (u, η) and (u, ¯ η) ¯ such that v2 1 ∂ 2e ∂ 2e 2 E(u, v, η) = + ( u, η)(u − u)(η ¯ − η) ¯ ( u , η )( u − u) ¯ + 2 2 2 ∂u 2 ∂u∂η ∂ 2e 2 (2.3.40) + 2 ( u, η)(η − η) ¯ ∂η where

u = λ0 u¯ + (1 − λ0 )u,

η = λ0 η¯ + (1 − λ0 )η, 0 ≤ λ0 ≤ 1.

It follows from Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.3 that 0 < C1−1 ≤ u ≤ C1 , | η| ≤ C1 which implies

∂ 2e ∂ 2e ∂ 2e ( u, η) + 2 ( u, η ) + u, η ) ≤ C 1 . 2 ( ∂u∂η ∂u ∂η Thus (2.3.40)–(2.3.41) and the Cauchy inequality give E(u, v, η) ≤

v2 + C1 [(u − u) ¯ 2 + (η − η) ¯ 2 ]. 2

(2.3.41)

(2.3.42)

On the other hand, we infer from (2.3.37) that euu = − pu = ρ 2 pρ + θ pθ2 /eθ , euη = − pη = θu = −θ pθ /eθ , eηη = θη = θ/eθ ,

which yields the Hessian of e(u, η) is positive deﬁnite for any u > 0 and θ > 0.

Thus the combination of (2.3.42) and (2.3.43) gives the desired estimate (2.3.39). E(u, v, η) ≥

Thus (2.3.63)–(2.3.64) follow from (2.3.65)–(2.3.70) and Lemma 2.3.1. The proof is complete. In what follows, our attention will be paid to the uniform estimate of the speciﬁc volume u in H 2. Lemma 2.3.9. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , the following estimate holds: u(t) H 2 ≤ C2 , ∀t > 0.

(2.3.71)

Proof. Differentiating (2.1.2) with respect to x, using (2.1.1) (u t x x = vx x x ), we see that μ0

with E(x, t) = ( puu u 2x + 2 pθu θx u x + pθθ θx2 ) + pθ θx x − 2μ0 vx u 2x /u 3 + 2μ0 u x vx x /u 2 .

Multiplying (2.3.72) by u x x /u, and by Young’s inequality, Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.3 and (2.1.21), we can deduce that u d u x x 2 x x 2 (t) + C1−1 (t) dt u u 1 uxx 2 + C1 (θθx (t)4L 4 + u x (t)4L 4 + vxt (t)2 + θθx x (t)2 + vx u 2x (t)2 ) ≤ 4C1 u 1 u x x 2 (t) + C2 (θθ x x (t)2 + u x (t)2 + vxt (t)2 ) (2.3.73) ≤ 2C1 u which, combined with Lemma 2.3.1 and Lemma 2.3.8, gives u x x (t)2 +

(2.3.74)

Thus (2.3.71) follows from Lemma 2.3.1 and (2.3.74). The proof is complete.

The estimate (2.3.60) and the global existence of generalized solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 follow from Lemma 2.3.1 and Lemmas 2.3.8–2.3.9. Similarly to (2.3.11), we can prove that the relation (2.3.62) is valid. To complete the proof of Lemma 2.3.7, it sufﬁces to prove (2.3.61) and the continuity of S(t) with respect to (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , which also leads to the uniqueness of the generalized global solutions in H+2 . This will be done in the next lemma. Lemma 2.3.10. The generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+2 . Proof. The uniqueness of generalized global solutions in H+2 follows from that in H+1 . Thus S(t) satisﬁes (2.3.12) on H+2 and by Lemmas 2.3.8–2.3.9, S(t)L(H H 2 ,H H 2 ) ≤ C2 . In +

the same manner as in the proof of Lemma 2.3.2, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+2 , ( j = 1, 2), (u j , v j , θ j ) = S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) − (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). We denote by e j = e(u j , θ j ), p j = p(u j , θ j ), k j = k(u j , θ j ), ( j = 1, 2). Subtracting the corresponding equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain equations (2.3.14)–(2.3.17). Similarly to (2.3.21), we have θθx x (t)2 ≤ C1 (θt (t)2 + H1(t)M1 (t)) ≤ C2 (θt (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ).

Differentiating (2.3.15) with respect to x, we see that vt x = μ0 (vx x x /u 1 − 2vx x u 1x /u 21 ) + R(x, t)

By (2.3.76)–(2.3.77) and the embedding theorem, we infer that vx x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (vx x (t)2L ∞ + R(t)2 ) 1 ≤ vx x x (t)2 + C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (vx x (t)2 + u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 ) 2 which gives vx x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (vx x (t)2 + u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 ). (2.3.78) Differentiating (2.3.14) twice with respect to x, multiplying the result by u x x , integrating the resulting equation over [0, 1], using (2.3.78) and the Cauchy inequality, we have d u x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (u(t)2H 2 + vx x (t)2 + θ (t)2H 2 ) dt ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (u(t)2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 ).

Multiplying (2.1.3) by eθ−1 , differentiating the resulting equation with respect to t, we arrive at θt t = I1 (u, v, θ ) + I2 (u, v, θ ) + I3 (u, v, θ ) + I4 (u, v, θ ) + I5 (u, v, θ )

By Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.3, Lemmas 2.3.7–2.3.9, (2.3.21), the embedding theorem and the mean value theorem, we infer that for (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 − u 2 , v1 − v2 , θ1 − θ2 ), I11 − I12 2 ≤ C2 (1 + θ1x x x (t)2 )(u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + θt (t)2 ), (2.3.82) II31 − I32 2 ≤ C2 (u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + θt (t)2 + vx x (t)2 ) ≤ C2 (u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + θt (t)2 + vt (t)2 ), (2.3.83) II41 − I42 2 ≤ C2 vxt (t)2 + C2 (1 + v1xt (t)2 )(u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + θt (t)2 + vt (t)2 ), II51

Now multiplying (2.3.80) by a large number N2 > 2C12 , then adding up the result, (2.3.79) and (2.3.91), we conclude d M2 (t) ≤ C2 H2(t)(vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 + u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 ) dt (2.3.95) ≤ C2 H2(t)(M1 (t) + M2 (t)) where M2 (t) = u x x (t)2 + N2 vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 .

Similarly to the proof of (2.3.10), we can prove that (2.3.61) holds. Thus the proof is complete. From Lemmas 2.3.8–2.3.10, we know that the proof of Lemma 2.3.7 is complete.

The next two lemmas concern the exponential decay of generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 (or equivalently, of semigroup S(t) on H+2 ). Lemma 2.3.11. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes the estimate eγ t (θ (t) − θ¯ 2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 ) +

eγ τ (vxt 2 + θθxt 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C2 , ∀t > 0. (2.3.98)

Proof. Differentiating equation (2.1.2) with respect to t, multiplying result by vt eγ t and integrating the resulting equation over [0, 1] ×[0, t], by Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.6 and Young’s inequality, we easily conclude t √ 1 γt 2 e vt (t) + μ0 eγ τ vxt / u 2 (τ )dτ 2 0 t ≤ C2 + γ /2 eγ τ vt 2 (τ )dτ 0 t t √ γτ 2 2 4 e (vx + θt + vx L 4 )(τ )dτ + μ0 /2 eγ τ vxt / u2 (τ )dτ + C1 0 0 t √ ≤ C2 + (C2 γ + μ0 /2) eγ τ vxt / u 2 (τ )dτ 0 t eγ τ (θt 2 + vx 2 + vx x 2 )(τ )dτ + C1 0

which, combined with Lemma 2.3.1, Lemmas 2.3.6–2.3.7 and (2.3.21), implies that there exists a constant γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], γt

In the same manner, multiplying (2.3.81) by θt eγ t , integrating the result over [0, 1]×[0, t] and using Lemmas 2.3.1–2.3.6 and (2.3.99), we infer that t eγ t (θt (t)2 + θθx x (t)2 ) + eγ τ θθxt 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C2 0

which, together with (2.3.99) and Lemmas 2.3.4–2.3.5, yields (2.3.98). The proof is complete. Lemma 2.3.12. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) ≤ γ2 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 to the problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes the estimate u(t) − u ¯ 2H 2 ≤ C2 e−γ t .

(2.3.100)

Proof. Multiplying (2.3.18) by et /2C1 and choosing γ so small that γ ≤ min(γ γ2 , 1/4C1 ) = γ2 (C2 ), and using Lemmas 2.3.5–2.3.6 and Lemma 2.3.11, we conclude that u x x (t)2 ≤ C2 e−t /2C1 + C2 e−γ t ≤ C2 e−γ t which, together with Lemmas 2.3.5–2.3.6, gives the estimate (2.3.100). The proof of Lemma 2.3.12 is complete. Now we have completed the proof of Theorem 2.3.2.

2.4 Exponential Stability in H 4 In this section we further prove the regularity and exponential stability of solutions in H 4 to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2). In this section, we always assume that all assumptions (2.1.11)–(2.1.25) hold. Now let us state some new ingredients in this section. First, based on the results in H i (i = 1, 2) in Sections 2.3.1–2.3.3, we establish the regularity and exponential stability of global solutions in H 4 (or associated C0 -semigroup), which are two of the new ingredients of this section. As a result, by the embedding theorem, the global solutions obtained in H 4 is actually a classical one in C 3+1/2 when it is subjected to corresponding compatibility conditions. Thus the exponential stability of classical solutions is obtained, which is a new result for this model. This is the third new ingredient. Note that the global existence and exponential stability of solutions in H+i (i = 1, 2) were established in Sections 2.3.1–2.3.3. Chen, Hoff and Trivisa [52] obtained global existence, asymptotic behavior and regularity in H 1 of weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) with discontinuous initial data, which were assumed to be that u 0 ∈ BV , v0 ∈ L 4 (0, 1), θ0 ∈ L 2 (0, 1), v0 L 4 + θ0 + T V (u 0 ) ≤ c0 ,

98

Chapter 2. A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas

c0−1 ≤ u 0 (x) ≤ c0 , θ0 ≥ c0−1 , while in our case, we have established global existence and exponential stability in H 4 for both solutions and the associated nonlinear C0 -semigroup. This is the fourth new ingredient of this section. On the other hand, it is well known that continuous dependence of solutions on initial data is very important, especially when we study inﬁnite-dimensional dynamics (which is in fact equivalent to the fact that the associated semigroup is continuous with respect to initial data or the semigroup as an operator is continuous for any but ﬁxed time t). For example, we refer to the works by Hoff [145], Hoff [146], Hoff and Serre [147] and Hoff and Zarnowski [149] and the references therein. Hoff [145] established continuous dependence on initial data in L 2 for the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations of one-dimensional isentropic compressible ﬂow with discontinuous initial data, while we show that the associated C0 -semigroup is continuous with respect to initial data in H 4 which implies continuous dependence on initial data in H 4. This is the ﬁfth new ingredient. It is noteworthy that since our arguments will involve more general constitutive relations in (2.1.11)–(2.1.13) and (2.1.19)–(2.1.25), the higher nonlinearities and partial derivatives of higher order, more delicate estimates are needed. Besides H+1 and H+2 deﬁned as in Section 2.3, we further deﬁne H+4 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 4[0, 1] × H 4[0, 1] × H 4[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1], v|x=0 = v|x=1 = 0, θx |x=0 = θx |x=1 = 0 for (2.1.6) or θ |x=0 = θ |x=1 = T0 for (2.2.2) which becomes a metric space when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norm. In the above, H 4 is the usual Sobolev space. We use Ci (i = 1, 2, 4) to denote the universal positive constant depending only on the H i norm of initial data, min u 0 (x) and min θ0 (x). Without danger of confusion x∈[0,1]

x∈[0,1]

we will use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., p(u, θ ), and p(u(x, t), θ (x, t)) and p(x, t). Our main results read as follows: Theorem 2.4.1. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C 5 functions satisfying (2.1.11)–(2.1.13), (2.1.19)–(2.1.25) on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and q, r satisfy assumptions (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). Then for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , there exists a unique global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+4 ) to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) verifying that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞), 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ C1 , 0 < C1−1 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ C1

Moreover, the global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+4 deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 which maps H+4 into itself and satisﬁes that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+4 )

and S(t) is continuous with respect to initial data, i.e., S(t)(u 01 , v01 , θ01 ) − S(t)(u 02 , v02 , θ02 ) H 4 ≤ C4 (u 01 , v01 , θ01 ) − (u 02 , v02 , θ02 ) H 4 + + (2.4.5) where (u j (t), v j (t), θ j (t)) ( j = 1, 2) is the unique global solution with initial datum (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+4 ( j = 1, 2). Finally, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , there are constants C4 > 0 and γ4 = γ4 (C C4 ) > 0 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ], the following estimates hold for any t > 0: u(t) − u ¯ 2H 4 + u(t) − u ¯ 2W 3,∞ + u t (t)2H 3 + u t t (t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 4 ¯ 2 3,∞ + v(t)2W 3,∞ + vt (t)2H 2 + vt t (t)2 + θ (t) − θ¯ 2H 4 + θ (t) − θ W + θt (t)2H 2 + θt t (t)2 ≤ C4 e−γ t , t ¯ 2H 4 + u − u eγ τ u − u ¯ 2W 3,∞ + u t 2H 4 + u t t 2H 2 + u t t t 2

Remark 2.4.1. Similar results to those in Theorem 2.4.1 and Corollary 2.4.1 also hold for the thermoviscoelastic model in Qin [320] (see also Chapter 6). Remark 2.4.2. Similar results to those in Theorem 2.4.1 also hold for the models of a nonlinear polytropic viscous ideal gas between two horizontal parallel plates in R3 in Qin and Munoz ˜ Rivera [339]. Remark 2.4.3. Similar results to those in Theorem 2.4.1 also hold for the model in [165] under assumptions of the constitutive relations in [165].

2.4.1 Global Existence in H 4 This subsection concerns the existence of global solutions in H+4 , while the existence of global solutions and nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+i (i = 1, 2) have been established in Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2. In what follows, we establish estimates in H+4 . Lemma 2.4.1. Under assumptions of Theorem 2.4.1, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 and for any t > 0, and ∈ (0, 1) small enough, we have vt x (x, 0) + θt x (x, 0) ≤ C3 , vt t (x, 0) + θt t (x, 0) + vt x x (x, 0) + θt x x (x, 0) ≤ C4 ,

Proof. We easily infer from (2.1.2) and Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 that vt (t) ≤ C1 (u x (t) + θθx (t) + vx (t) L ∞ u x (t) + vx x (t)) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 1 + u x (t) + θθx (t)).

(2.4.16)

We differentiate (2.1.2) with respect to x, and use Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 to get vt x (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 2 + u x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 )

(2.4.17)

or vx x x (t) ≤ C2 (v(t) H 2 + u x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 + vt x (t)).

Differentiating (2.1.2) with respect to x twice, using Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 and the embedding theorem, we conclude vt x x (t) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 + θθx (t) H 2 + vx (t) L ∞ u x x x (t) +u x (t) L ∞ vx x x (t) + vx x (t) L ∞ u x x (t)) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 )

(2.4.19)

or vx x x x (t) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 2 + vt x x (t)).

(2.4.20)

Analogously, we infer from (2.1.3), θt (t) ≤ C1 vx (t) + vx (t) L ∞ vx (t)

+(u x (t) + θθx (t))θθx (t) L ∞ + θθx x (t) ≤ C1 (θθx (t) H 1 + vx (t) H 1 ),

(2.4.21)

θt x (t) ≤ C2 (θt (t) + θθx (t) H 2 + u x (t) H 1 + vx x (t)) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 1 + vx (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 2 )

(2.4.22)

or θθx x x (t) ≤ C2 (θθx (t) H 1 + vx (t) H 1 + u x (t) H 1 + θt x (t))

(2.4.23)

and θt x x (t) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 3 )

(2.4.24)

or θθx x x x (t) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 2 + θt x x (t)).

(2.4.25)

Differentiating (2.1.2) with respect to t, using (2.4.17), (2.4.19) and (2.4.21)–(2.4.22), we have vt t (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 1 + u x (t) + θt (t) + θt x (t) +vt x (t) + vt x x (t)) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 + θθx (t) H 2 ).

(2.4.26) (2.4.27)

Similarly, we get θt t (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 1 + u x (t) + θt (t) + θt x (t) +vt x (t) + θθx (t) H 2 + θt x x (t)) ≤ C2 (u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 3 ).

(2.4.28) (2.4.29)

Thus estimates (2.4.12)–(2.4.13) follows from (2.4.17), (2.4.19), (2.4.22), (2.4.24), (2.4.27) and (2.4.29).

Thus taking supremum in t on the left-hand side of (2.4.39), picking ∈ (0, 1) small enough, and using (2.4.14), we can derive estimate (2.4.15). The proof is now complete. Lemma 2.4.2.

Thus we infer from (2.4.43)–(2.4.45), Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 and Lemma 2.4.1, B0 ≤ 2 (vt x x (t)2 + vt x x x (t)2 + θt x x (t)2 ) +C2 −6 (vx (t)2H 2 + θt (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + vt x (t)2 )

Differentiating (2.1.2)–(2.1.3) with respect to t, using (2.4.61), we infer that for any t > 0, vt x x (t) ≤ C1 vt t (t) + C2 (vx (t) H 1 + vt x (t) + θt (t) H 1 ) ≤ C4 , (2.4.72) θt x x (t) ≤ C1 θt t (t) + C2 (vx (t) H 1 + vt x (t) + θt (t) H 1 +θθx (t) H 1 ) ≤ C4

whence E 2 (t) ≤ C1 vt x x x (t) + C4 (θθ x (t) H 3 + u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 ). We infer from (2.4.26)–(2.4.29) that t (vt t 2 + θt t 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0

(2.4.87) (2.4.88)

Proof. Exploiting (2.1.1) and Lemmas 2.4.1–2.4.3 and Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2, we easily obtain estimates (2.4.87)–(2.4.88). The proof is complete. By Lemmas 2.4.3–2.4.4, we have proved the global existence of solutions to (2.1.1)– (2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) in H+4 with arbitrary initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 and the uniqueness of solutions in H+4 follows from that of solutions in H+1 or in H+2 .

2.4.2 A Nonlinear C0 -Semigroup S(t) on H 4 In this subsection we establish the existence of a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 . Lemma 2.4.5. The global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+4 to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 (also denoted by S(t) by the uniqueness of solution in H+1 and H+2 ) such that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , we have S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) H 4 ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0, +

+

S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, ∞); H+4 ), ∀t > 0.

(2.4.89) (2.4.90)

Proof. We conclude from Lemmas 2.4.3–2.4.4 that for any t > 0, the operator S(t) : (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 −→ (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+4 exists and (2.4.89) holds, where (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) is the unique solution to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) with the initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , and by the uniqueness of global solution in H+4 , it veriﬁes on H+4 that for any t1 , t2 ∈ [0, +∞), S(t1 + t2 ) = S(t1 )S(tt2 ) = S(tt2 )S(t1 ).

(2.4.91)

We know from Lemmas 2.4.3–2.4.4, S(t) is uniformly bounded on H+4 with respect to t > 0, i.e., S(t)L(H (2.4.92) H 4 ,H H 4 ) ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0. +

+

First of all, we verify the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+4 for any t > 0. To this end, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+4 , ( j = 1, 2), (u j , v j , θ j ) =

S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 )−(u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). Subtracting the corresponding equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain (2.3.14)–(2.3.17). Clearly, we know from Lemmas 2.4.3–2.4.4 that for any t > 0 and j = 1, 2, (u j (t) − u, ¯ v j (t), θ j (t) − θ¯ )2H 4 + u j t (t)2H 3 + u j t t (t)2H 1 + v j t (t)2H 2 + v j t t (t)2 + θθ j t (t)2H 2 + θθ j t t (t)2 t ¯ 2 5 + v j t 2 3 + v j t t 2 1 + θθ j t 2 3 u j − u + ¯ 2H 4 + v j 2H 5 + θθ j − θ H H H H 0 +θθ j t t 2H 1 + u j t 2H 4 + u j t t 2H 2 + u j t t t 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C4 . (2.4.93) Here and hereafter in the proof of this lemma, C4 > 0 denotes the universal constant depending only on the H 4 norm of the initial data (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) and min u 0 j (x) and min θ0 j (x) ( j = 1, 2), but independent of t.

Similarly, differentiating (2.3.81) with respect to x, subtracting the resulting equations satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), multiplying the corresponding equation by θt x = (θ1 − θ2 )t x , we ﬁnally conclude 1 d θt x (t)2 ≤ −(C1−1 − C4 )θt x x (t)2 + C4 (θt t x (t)2 + vt x x (t)2 ) 2 dt +C C4 ()(1 + θ2t x x x (t)2 )(u(t)2H 2 + v(t)2H 1 +θ (t)2H 1 + θt (t)2 + vt x (t)2 + θt x (t)2 ).

Chapter 2. A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas

If we put M(t) = M3 (t) + M4 (t), then we easily infer from (2.4.109)–(2.4.110), (2.4.113)–(2.4.114) and (2.4.121)–(2.4.122) that G(t) ≤ C4 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 +vt x (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + vt t (t)2 + θt t (t)2 ) ≤ C4 M(t).

(2.4.137)

Also it follows from the deﬁnition of M(t), (2.3.27) and (2.4.137) that M(t) ≤ C4 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 +vt x (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + vt t (t)2 + θt t (t)2 ) ≤ C4 G(t) which along with (2.4.137) gives C4−1 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ) ≤ M(t) ≤ C4 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ).

(2.4.138)

Thus adding up (2.3.96) and (2.4.134) yields d M(t) ≤ C4 H3(t)M(t) dt which with (2.4.138) and Gronwall’s inequality that for any t > 0, 2 2 2 u(t) H 4 + v(t) H 4 + θ (t) H 4 ≤ C4 M(t) ≤ C4 M(0) exp C4

which implies the continuity of semigroup S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+4 (and also the uniqueness of global solutions in H+4 ). In order to prove (2.4.90), by (2.4.91)– (2.4.92), it sufﬁces to show that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0 +

with I being the unit operator (i.e., identity operator) on H+4 . To show (2.4.139) and (2.4.140), we choose a function sequence which is smooth enough, for example, m m 6 6 6 (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H × H × H

as m → +∞. By the local regularity result, we conclude that there is a small t0 > 0 such that there exists a unique smooth solution (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) ∈ H 6 × H 6 × H 6 (∀t ∈ (0, t0 )). This implies that for m = 1, 2, . . . , m m (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0

(2.4.142)

as t → 0+ . By the continuity of the operator S(t), we conclude that for any t ∈ (0, t0 ), (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) H 4

m m = S(t)(u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4

as m → +∞, this along with (2.4.141)–(2.4.142) leads to S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 +

2.4.3 Exponential Stability in H 4 In this subsection, we shall use estimates established in Sections 2.4.1–2.4.2 to show the exponential stability of a solution or of the nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 .

Proof. The proofs of (2.4.143)–(2.4.144) are basically the same as those of (2.4.14)– (2.4.15). The difference here is to estimate (2.4.143)–(2.4.144) with weighted exponential function eγ t . Multiplying (2.4.30) by eγ t and using (2.4.26) and Theorem 2.3.2, we have 1 γt e vt t (t)2 ≤ C4 − (C1−1 − C1 γ ) 2 ≤ C4 −

Similarly, multiplying (2.4.31) by eγ t and using (2.4.28), (2.4.32)–(2.4.37) and Theorem 2.3.2, we derive that for any ∈ (0, 1) small enough, 1 γt √ γ t γτ e eθ θt t (t)2 ≤ C4 + e θt t 2 (τ )dτ 2 2 0 t + eγ τ (A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 )(τ )dτ 0 t t ≤ C4 −3 − (C1−1 − 2) eγ τ θt t x 2 (τ )dτ + C2 −1 eγ τ θt x x 2 (τ )dτ 0

which, by taking supremum on the right-hand side and choosing ∈ (0, 1) small enough, implies (2.4.144). The proof is complete. Lemma 2.4.7.

which with (2.4.50) gives (2.4.145) if we take γ > 0 and ∈ (0, 1) so small that 0 < (1) (2) < min[1, 1/(8C1 )] and 0 < γ ≤ min[γ γ4 , 1/(8C12 )] ≡ γ4 . In the same manner, we easily derive (2.4.146) from (2.4.51)–(2.4.55) and (2.4.60). Adding (2.4.145) to (2.4.146) and picking ∈ (0, 1) small enough give (2.4.147). The proof is complete. Lemma 2.4.8. Under assumptions of Theorem 2.4.1, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , there is (2) a positive constant γ4 ≤ γ4 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ], the following estimates hold for any t > 0: t eγ t vt t (t)2 + vt x (t)2 + θt t (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + eγ τ vt t x 2 + vt x x 2 0 2 2 + θt t x + θt x x (τ )dτ ≤ C4 , (2.4.148) t eγ t u x x x (t)2H 1 + u x x (t)2W 1,∞ + eγ τ u x x x 2H 1 + u x x 2W 1,∞ (τ )dτ ≤ C4 , 0

(2.4.150)

Proof. Multiplying (2.4.143) and (2.4.144) by and 3/2 respectively, adding the resulting inequality to (2.4.147), and then taking > 0 small enough, we can obtain the desired estimate (2.4.148).

2.5 Attractors in H 1 and H 2 In this section, we are concerned with the existence of universal (maximal) attractors for problems (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) and (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) with more general constitutive relations which are the same as those in Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2. Let us ﬁrst explain some mathematical difﬁculties in studying the dynamics of our problems. Firstly, from physical reasons, the special volume u and the absolute temperature θ should be positive for all time. These constraints give rise to some severe mathematical difﬁculties. For instance, we must work on incomplete metric spaces H+1 and H+2 , H+2 ⊂ H+1 which are usual Sobolev spaces with these constraints. Secondly, the nonlinear semigroup S(t) deﬁned by problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)– (2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2), maps each H+1 and H+2 into itself, as proved in Section 2.3. It is clear from equations (2.1.2) and (2.1.3) that we cannot continuously extend the semigroup S(t) to the closure of H+1 and H+2 . Notice the following signiﬁcant differences between the study of global existence and the study of existence of a (maximal) universal attractor: for the study of global existence, the initial datum is given while for the study of existence of a (maximal) universal attractor in certain metric space, the initial data are varying in that space. Since the (maximal) universal attractor is just the ω − li mi t set of an absorbing set in weak topology, the requirement on completeness of spaces is needed. To overcome this severe mathematical difﬁculty, we restrict ourselves to a sequence of closed subspaces of H+1 and H+2 . It turns out that it is very crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of this closed subspace will re-enter this subspace and stay there after a ﬁnite time, which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from a bounded set; otherwise, there is no ground to talk about existence of an absorbing set and a maximal universal attractor in this subspace. The proof of the above fact becomes an essential part of this section and it will be done by use of delicate a priori estimates. Thirdly, the total mass with (2.1.6) and (2.2.2) and the total energy with (2.1.6) are conserved. Indeed, if we integrate the equation (2.1.1) with respect to x and t and exploit

124

Chapter 2. A One-dimensional Nonlinear Viscous and Heat-conductive Real Gas

the boundary conditions (2.1.6) and (2.2.2), we will end up with

1

u(x, t)d x =

u 0 (x)d x,

∀t > 0.

(2.5.1)

0

Next, for (2.1.6) if we integrate the equation (2.1.3) with respect to x and t and use (2.1.6), we ﬁnally get

1 0

(e(x, t) + v 2 (x, t)/2)d x =

0

1

(e(x, 0) + v02 (x)/2)d x.

(2.5.2)

These conservations indicate that there can be no absorbing set for initial data varying in the whole space. Instead, we should rather consider the dynamics in a sequence of closed subspaces deﬁned by some parameters. In this regard, the situation is quite similar to those encountered for the single Cahn-Hilliard equation in the isothermal case (see, Temam [407]), and for the coupled Cahn-Hilliard equations (see, Shen and Zheng [375]) and for a one-dimensional polytropic viscous ideal gas (2.1.10) with (2.1.6) (see, Zheng and Qin [451]). Therefore, one of the key issues is how to choose these closed subspaces. Fourthly, (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) is a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system. It turns out that in general the orbit is not compact. In order to prove the existence of a maximal attractor by the theory presented by Temam in [407], we have either to show the uniform compactness of the orbit of semigroup S(t) for large time or to show that one can decompose S(t) into two parts, S1 (t) and S2 (t), with S1 (t) being uniformly compact for large time and S2 (t) going to zero uniformly. Since equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) constitute a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system, the orbit is not compact. Moreover, since our system is quasilinear, the usual way of decomposition of S(t) into two parts for a semilinear system does not seem feasible. To overcome this difﬁculty, we will adopt an approach motivated by the ideas in [117] (see also, Theorem 1.6.4) and Zheng and Qin [451, 452]. Finally, unlike the one-dimensional polytropic viscous ideal gas (2.1.10) (the special case of q = r = 0), equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) look more complicated than that of the special case of q = r = 0. It turns out that much more delicate estimates are needed. Let 1 i i Hδ := (u, v, θ ) ∈ H+ : (E(u, θ ) + v 2 /2)d x ≤ δ1 ,

here θˆ = θˆ (ξ, e) is the unique inverse function of the function e = e(ξ, θ ) for any ﬁxed ξ ∈ [δ2 , δ3 ], which is a monotone increasing function in e for any ﬁxed ξ ∈ [δ2 , δ3 ]. The unique existence of θˆ = θˆ (ξ, e) follows from our assumption (2.1.19). Obviously, Hδi (i = 1, 2) is a sequence of closed subspaces of H+i (i = 1, 2). We shall see later on that the ﬁrst three constraints are invariant, while the last two constraints are not invariant. These two constraints are just introduced to overcome the difﬁculty that the original spaces H+i are incomplete. As stated above, it is very crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of Hδi will re-enter Hδi and stay there after a ﬁnite time. We use C0(i) , (i = 1, 2) to denote the universal constant depending only on the H i norm of initial data, min u 0 (x) and min θ0 (x). Cδ (sometimes Cδ ) denotes the unix∈[0,1]

Without danger of confusion we will use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., p(u, θ ), and p(u(x, t), θ (x, t)) and p(x, t). Our main theorem in this section reads as follows. Theorem 2.5.1. Under assumptions (2.1.11)–(2.1.25), the solution to problem (2.1.1)– (2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+i (i = 1, 2), which maps H+i (i = 1, 2) into itself. Moreover, for any δi (i = 1, . . . , 7) satisfying (2.5.4)–(2.5.6), it possesses in Hδi a universal (maximal) attractor Ai,δ (i = 1, 2). Remark 2.5.1. See Ghidaglia [117] and also Sections 2.5.1–2.5.2 for the deﬁnition of (maximal) universal attractor. ! Remark 2.5.2. The set Ai = Ai,δ (i = 1, 2) is a global noncompact δ1 ,...,δ5 or δ1 ,...,δ7

attractor in the metric space H+i in the sense that it attracts any bounded sets of H+i with constraints u ≥ u, θ ≥ θ with u, θ being any given positive constants.

Remark 2.5.3. Theorem 2.5.1 also holds for the polytropic viscous ideal gas (2.1.10) with the boundary conditions (2.2.1), while for the polytropic viscous ideal gas (2.1.10) with (2.1.6), similar results were obtained in Zheng and Qin [451]. For any initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+i (i = 1, 2, 4), the results on global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of solutions to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)– (2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) have been established in Sections 2.1–2.4. It has been proved in Sections 2.3–2.4 that the operator S(t) deﬁned by the solution is a nonlinear C0 -semigroup on H+i , (i = 1, 2, 4), respectively.

2.5.1 An Absorbing Set in H 1 In this subsection we shall prove the existence of an absorbing ball in Hδ1. Throughout this subsection we always assume that the initial data belong to a bounded set of Hδ1. First, we have to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set in Hδ1 will re-enter Hδ1 and stay there after a ﬁnite time, which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from that bounded set. Lemma 2.5.1. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following estimates hold for any t > 0:

Proof. Estimates (2.5.7)–(2.5.8) have already been obtained in (2.5.1) and (2.5.2). Note that (u, θ ) = e(u, θ )−θ η(u, θ ) is the Helmholtz free energy function. Recalling (2.5.3), the deﬁnition of E = E(u, θ ), noting that eθ (u, θ ) = −θ θθ (u, θ ), by (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) and (2.1.11)–(2.1.13), we deduce after a direct calculation that

Integrating (2.5.10) over Q t := (0, 1) × (0, t) and using (2.1.2)–(2.1.3), we obtain

which gives (2.5.9).

Lemma 2.5.2. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following estimates hold for any t > 0: t 1 1 q )θ 2 2 v θ (1 + θ x (θ r+1 + v 2 )(x, t)d x + + x (x, τ )d x dτ ≤ Cδ , (2.5.11) uθ uθ 2 0 0 0 1 −1 0 < Cδ ≤ θ (x, t)d x ≤ Cδ . (2.5.12) 0

Proof. In view of (2.1.8) and (2.1.11), we have uu (u, ) = − pu (u, ) > 0 for any u > 0. Therefore it follows from the Taylor theorem and (2.5.3) that E(u, θ ) − (u, θ ) + (u, ) + (θ − ) θ (u, θ ) = (u, ) − (1, ) − u (1, )(u − 1) 1 (1 − ξ ) uu (1 + ξ(u − 1), )dξ ≥ 0. = (u − 1)2 0

Thus E(u, θ ) ≥ (u, θ ) − (u, ) − (θ − ) θ (u, θ ) 1 = −( − θ )2 (1 − τ ) θθ (u, θ + τ ( − θ ))dτ ≥ ν( − θ )2 i.e.,

where ri = ri (δ) (i = 1, 2) are two positive roots of the equation y − log y − 1 = Cδ . Thus (2.5.11) and (2.5.12) follow from (2.5.13) and (2.5.14). The proof is complete. Lemma 2.5.3. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following inequalities hold: θ∗ ≤ θ¯ ≤ θ ∗ ,

Proof. We ﬁrst show that for (2.1.6), min

θˆ (u, e) ≤ θ¯ ≤

max

u∈[δ2 ,δ3 ],e∈[δ6 ,δ7 ]

(2.5.17)

In fact, it follows from (2.5.7)–(2.5.8) that δ6 ≤ ¯ := e(u, ¯ θ¯ ) ≤ δ7 , δ2 ≤ u¯ ≤ δ3 which implies that θ¯ = θˆ (u, ¯ e) ¯ and (2.5.17). Thus (2.5.15) follows. In fact, if the assertion in (2.5.16) is not true, then there exists a sequence of solutions (u n , vn , θn ) with the initial data (u n0 , vn0 , θn0 ) ∈ Hδ1 converging weakly in H 1, strongly in C[0, 1] to (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ inf θ = 0. Hδ1 such that for the corresponding solution (u, v, θ ) to (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ), Thus there is (x n , tn ) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞) such that as n → +∞, θ (x n , tn ) → 0.

x∈[0,1],t ≥0

(2.5.18)

If the sequence {ttn } has a subsequence, denoted also by tn , converging to +∞, then by Theorem 2.3.1 and (2.5.15), we know that as n → +∞, θ (x n , tn ) → θ¯ ≥ θ∗ > 0 which contradicts (2.5.18). If the sequence {ttn } is bounded, i.e., there exists a constant M > 0, independent of n, such that for any n = 1, 2, 3, . . . , 0 < tn ≤ M, then there exists a point (x ∗ , t ∗ ) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, M] such that (x n , tn ) → (x ∗ , t ∗ ) as n → +∞. On the other hand, by (2.5.18) and the continuity of solutions in Theorem 2.3.1, we conclude that θ (x n , tn ) → θ (x ∗ , t ∗ ) = 0 as n → +∞, which contradicts (2.1.32). Thus the proof is complete. In what follows we shall estimate the point-wise positive lower bound and upper bound for u. To this end, we need Lemma 2.1.3.

Lemma 2.5.4. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following estimate holds: 0 < Cδ−1 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ Cδ , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞).

(2.5.19)

Proof. We use a similar idea as in the proof of Lemma 2.1.5. But we should note the dependence of the constants Cδ depending only on the parameters δ1 , . . . , δ7 . Let Mu (t) = max u(x, t), m u (t) = min u(x, t), x∈[0,1]

Thus

Cδ − Cδ V (t)M Mu (t) ≤ θ 2m (x, t) ≤ Cδ (1 + V (t)M Mu (t)).

Using Lemmas 2.5.1–2.5.3, (2.5.20)–(2.5.22) and noticing that u(x, s) p(x, s) ≤ p1 (1 + θ r+1 ) ≤ C(1 + θ 2m ) ≤ C(1 + V (s)M Mu (s)),

(2.5.23)

we obtain t V (s) exp(−Cδ (t − s))M Mu (s)ds u(x, t) ≤ Cδ 1 + 0 t V (s)M Mu (s)ds , ≤ Cδ 1 + 0

i.e., t Mu (t) ≤ Cδ 1 + V (s)M Mu (s)ds .

Thus it follows from Gronwall’s inequality and Lemma 2.5.2 that Mu (t) ≤ Cδ .

(2.5.25)

By Lemma 2.1.3 and (2.5.20)–(2.5.21), we have u(x, t) ≥ D(x, t)Z (t) ≥ Cδ−1 exp(−Cδ t).

(2.5.26)

Similarly to the proof of (2.5.16) in Lemma 2.5.3, using (2.5.24), we can prove u(x, t) ≥ Cδ−1 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞).

The proof is complete.

Lemma 2.5.5. For initial data belonging to an arbitrary ﬁxed bounded set B of there is t0 > 0 depending only on boundedness of this bounded set B such that for all t ≥ t0 , x ∈ [0, 1], δ4 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ δ5 , δ2 /2 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ 2δ3 . (2.5.27) Hδ1

Proof. Suppose that the assertion in Lemma 2.5.5 is not true. Then there is a sequence tn → +∞ such that for all x ∈ [0, 1], sup θ (x, tn ) > δ5

(2.5.28)

where sup is taken for all initial data in a given bounded set B of Hδ1. In the same manner as for the proof of Lemma 2.5.3, there exists (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ B such that for the corresponding solution (u, v, θ ), we have θ (x, tn ) ≥ δ5 , ∀x ∀ ∈ [0, 1] which with (2.3.4) yields

θ¯ ≥ δ5 .

(2.5.29)

This contradicts (2.5.5) or (2.5.6) and (2.5.15). Similarly, we can prove other parts of (2.5.27).

Remark 2.5.4. It follows from Lemma 2.5.1 and Lemma 2.5.5 that for initial data belonging to a given bounded set B of Hδ1, the orbit will re-enter Hδ1 and stay there after a ﬁnite time. In the sequel, we shall prove the existence of an absorbing ball in Hδ1. Since we assume that the initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) belong to an arbitrarily bounded set B of Hδ1, , C there is a positive constant B such that (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 ≤ B. We use Cδ,B or Cδ,B δ,B to denote generic positive constants depending on B and δi , (i = 1, . . . , 7). Lemma 2.5.6. For any initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, the unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) satisﬁes the estimates v2 v2 + C B,δ (|u − u| + C −1 (|u − u| ¯ 2 + |η − η| ¯ 2 ) ≤ E(u, v, η) ≤ ¯ 2 + |η − η| ¯ 2 ).

Thus the following results on the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ1 follow from Lemma 2.5.8. Lemma 2.5.9. Let

" R1 = R1 (δ) = 2 δ32 + (θ ∗ )2

and

B1 = {(u, v, θ ) ∈ Hδ1, (u, v, θ ) H 1 ≤ R1 }. +

Then B1 is an absorbing ball in Hδ1, i.e., there exists some t1 = t1 (C B,δ ) = max{−γ1−1 log[2(δ32 + (θ ∗ )2 )/C B,δ ], t0 } ≥ t0 such that when t ≥ t1 , (u(t), v(t), θ (t))2

2.5.2 An Absorbing Set in H 2 In this subsection we are going to prove the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ2. Throughout this subsection we always assume that the initial data belong to an arbitrarily ﬁxed bounded set B in Hδ2, i.e., (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 2 ≤ B with B being a given positive constant. The next two lemmas concern the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ2. Lemma 2.5.10. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C B,δ ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], the following estimate holds: eγ t (θt (t)2 + vt (t)2 + θ (t) − θ¯ 2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 ) t eγ τ (vxt 2 + θθxt 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C B,δ , ∀t > 0. +

Proof. The proof is similar to that of Lemma 2.3.11.

Lemma 2.5.11. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C B,δ ) ≤ γ2 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], the following estimate holds: u(t) − u ¯ 2H 2 ≤ C B,δ e−γ t

(2.5.35)

which together with Lemma 2.5.10 implies that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ] and for all t > 0, u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 ≤ 2(δ32 + (θ ∗ )2 ) + C B,δ e−γ t .

Now if we deﬁne t2 = t2 (C B,δ ) ≥ max(t1 (C B,δ ), −γ γ2−1 log(2(δ32 estimate (2.5.36) implies that for any t ≥ t2 (C B,δ ), u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 ≤ 4(δ32 + (θ ∗ )2 ).

In this sequel we ﬁnish the proof of Theorem 2.5.1. Having proved the existence of absorbing balls in Hδ2 and Hδ1, we can use the abstract framework established in [117] by Ghidaglia (see also Theorem 1.6.4) to conclude that Lemma 2.5.12. The set ω(B2 ) =

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H+2 , is included in B2 and is nonempty. It is invariant by S(t), i.e., S(t)ω(B2 ) = ω(B2 ),

∀t > 0.

(2.5.38)

Remark 2.5.5. If we take B a bounded set in Hδ2, we can also deﬁne ω(B) by (2.5.37) and when B is nonempty, ω(B) is also included in B2 , nonempty and invariant. Since B2 is an absorbing ball, it is clear that ω(B) ⊆ ω(B2 ). This shows that ω(B2 ) is maximal in the sense of inclusion. Theorem 2.5.3. The set satisﬁes

A2,δ = ω(B2 )

A2,δ is bounded and weakly closed in Hδ2,

lim d w (S(t)B, A2,δ ) = 0.

(2.5.42)

Hδ2, t −→+∞

Moreover, it is the maximal set in the sense of inclusion that satisﬁes (2.5.40), (2.5.41) and (2.5.42). Proof. The proofs of Lemma 2.5.12 and Theorem 2.5.3 follow from Theorem 1.6.4, using the facts that S(t) is continuous on Hδ1 and Hδ2, respectively, Hδ2 is compactly imbedded in Hδ1, B2 and B1 are absorbing balls in Hδ2 and Hδ1, respectively. Following [117], we also call A2,δ the universal attractor of S(t) in Hδ2. In order to discuss the existence of a universal attractor in Hδ1, we need to prove the following lemma. Lemma 2.5.13. For every t ≥ 0, the mapping S(t) is continuous on bounded sets of Hδ1 for the topology induced by the norm in L 2 × L 2 × L 2 .

Subtracting the corresponding equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain (2.5.43) u t = vx , vt = − pu (u 1 , θ1 )u x − ( pu (u 1 , θ1 ) − pu (u 2 , θ2 ))u 2x − pθ (u 1 , θ1 )θθx vx u 1x vx x v2x u , −( pθ (u 1 , θ1 ) − pθ (u 2 , θ2 ))θ2x + μ0 − − u1 u1u2 x u 21 (2.5.44) eθ (u 1 , θ1 )θt = −(eθ (u 1 , θ1 ) − (eθ (u 2 , θ2 ))θ2t − (eu (u 1 , θ1 ) − eu (u 2 , θ2 ))v2x −eu (u 1 , θ1 )vx − p(u 1 , θ1 )vx − ( p(u 1 , θ1 ) − p(u 2 , θ2 ))v2x +[k(u 1 , θ1 )θθx /u 1 + (k(u 1 , θ1 )/u 1 − k(u 2 , θ2 )/u 2 )θ2x ]x ,

Therefore the assertion of this lemma follows from Gronwall’s inequality, (2.5.48)– (2.5.49) and (2.1.19). The proof is complete. Now we can again use Theorem 1.6.4 to obtain the following result on existence of a universal attractor in Hδ1. Theorem 2.5.4. The set A1,δ =

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H+1 , is the (maximal) universal attractor in Hδ1. Remark 2.5.6. Since A2,δ is bounded in H+2 , it is bounded in H+1 and by the invariance property (2.5.41), we have A2,δ ⊆ A1,δ . (2.5.51) On the contrary if we knew that A1,δ is bounded in H+2 then the opposite inclusion would hold.

2.6 Universal Attractor in H 4 In this section we shall establish the existence of a universal attractor in Hδ4 for problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2). We have the following main result. Theorem 2.6.1. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C 5 functions satisfying (2.1.11)–(2.1.13) and (2.1.19)–(2.1.25) on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and q, r satisfy assumptions (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). Then semigroup S(t) deﬁned on H+4 by the solution to problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) maps H+4 into itself. Moreover, for any δi (i = 1, . . . , 7) satisfying (2.5.4)–(2.5.6), it possesses in Hδ4 a universal (maximal) attractor A4,δ . Remark 2.6.1. The set A4 =

In what follows, we will establish the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ4. To this end, from now on, we always assume that the initial data belong to a given bounded set B4 in Hδ4, and so there exists a sufﬁciently large positive constant B4 such that (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 ≤ B4 . By virtue of Lemma 2.3.11–2.3.12, Lemmas 2.5.1–2.5.5 and + repeating the same argument as the proof of Lemma 2.4.9, we easily derive the following lemma which yields the existence of an absorbing set in H+4 . Lemma 2.6.1. There exists a positive constant γˆ4 = γˆ4 (Cδ,B4 ) ≤ γˆ3 (Cδ,B4 ) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γˆ4 ], it holds that for any t > 0, ¯ 2 4 + u t (t)2 3 + u t t (t)2 1 ¯ 2H 4 + v2H 4 + θ − θ eγ t u − u H H H 2 2 2 2 + vt (t) H 2 + vt t (t) + θt (t) H 2 + θt t (t) t ¯ 2H 4 + v2H 5 + θ − θ¯ 2H 5 + vt 2H 3 + vt t 2H 1 eγ τ u − u + 0 + θt 2H 3 + θt t 2H 1 + u t 2H 4 + u t t 2H 2 + u t t t 2 (τ )dτ ≤ Cδ,B4 which implies u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ≤ 2(u¯ 2 + θ¯ 2 ) + Cδ,B4 e−γ t ≤ R 2 (δ) + Cδ,B4 e−γ t

(2.6.1)

with R 2 (δ) = 2[δ32 + (θ ∗ )2 ]. It follows from Lemma 2.6.1 that for any bounded set Bi ∈ Hδi (i = 1, 2) and any initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Bi (i = 1, 2) with (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ≤ Bi (i = 1, 2) where Bi (i = 1, 2) are positive constants, there exists some time ti = ti (δ, Bi , t0 ) ≥ tˆ0 (i = 1, 2), t2 ≥ t1 ≥ tˆ0 such that as t ≥ ti , (u(t), v(t), θ (t))2H i ≤ 2R 2 (δ), (i = 1, 2), δ

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H i (i = 1, 2). Now if we take 2 (δ) R , t4 = t4 (Cδ,B4 ) = max t2 Cδ,B2 , −γˆ4−1 ln Cδ,B4 then we readily derive the following lemma from Lemma 2.6.1.

Since we have proved the existence of absorbing balls Bˆ 1 , Bˆ 2 and Bˆ 4 in Hδ1, Hδ2 and Hδ4, we can use Theorem 1.6.4 to conclude that Lemma 2.6.3. The set

ω( Bˆ 4 ) =

(2.6.2)

s≥0t ≥s

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H+4 , is included in Bˆ 4 and is nonempty. It is invariant by S(t), i.e., S(t)ω( Bˆ 4 ) = ω( Bˆ 4 ),

∀t > 0.

(2.6.3)

Remark 2.6.2. If we take B a bounded set in Hδ4, we can also deﬁne ω(B) by (2.6.2) and when B is nonempty, ω(B) is also included in Bˆ 4 , nonempty and invariant. Since Bˆ 4 is an absorbing ball, we know that ω(B) ⊆ ω( Bˆ 4 ). This shows that ω( Bˆ 4 ) is maximal in the sense of inclusion. Moreover, by Theorem 1.6.4, we can also conclude Lemma 2.6.4. The set satisﬁes

A4,δ = ω( Bˆ 4 )

(2.6.4)

A4,δ is bounded and weakly closed in Hδ4,

(2.6.5)

S(t)A4,δ = A4,δ , for every bounded set B in

∀t ≥ 0,

(2.6.6)

lim d w (S(t)B, A4,δ ) = 0.

(2.6.7)

Hδ4, t −→+∞

Moreover, it is the maximal set in the sense of inclusion that satisﬁes (2.6.5), (2.6.6) and (2.6.7). Remark 2.6.3. Since we have obtained three attractors A4,δ , A2,δ and A1,δ which satisfy that A4,δ is bounded in Hδ4(⊆ Hδ2 ⊆ Hδ1) and A2,δ is bounded in Hδ2(⊆ Hδ1), so A4,δ is bounded in both Hδ1 and Hδ2 and A2,δ is bounded in Hδ1, and by the invariance property (2.6.6), we have A4,δ ⊆ A2,δ ⊆ A1,δ . (2.6.8) On the contrary if we knew that A1,δ is bounded in Hδ2 or/and A2,δ is bounded in Hδ4, then we know that A1,δ = A2,δ or/and A2,δ = A4,δ . Now we have ﬁnished the proof of Theorem 2.6.1.

Here the boundary conditions σ (0, t) = v(0, t), σ (1, t) = −v(1, t) indicate that the endpoints of the interval [0,1] are connected to some sort of dashpot. It should be noted that our assumptions (2.1.19) and (2.1.21)–(2.1.22) are weaker than (2.7.3)–(2.7.25) in [192] and [165]. In [165] the asymptotic behavior was obtained for the case of r ∈ [0, 1], q ≥ r + 1. To the author’s knowledge, the case of q = r = 0 and the cases of (2.1.14)–(2.1.18) with the restriction q < r + 1 on their right-hand sides, were not studied before. In this chapter, we establish the results on both global existence and asymptotic behavior for the special case of q = r = 0 (see Chapter 3) and the cases mentioned above. Moreover, in this chapter we also discuss the case which improves the results in [165]. Hoff and Ziane [150, 151] obtained the existence of a compact global attractor for a one-dimensional isentropic compressible viscous ﬂow in a ﬁnite interval. Moreover, the (global) attractors were obtained in [97] for the isentropic compressible viscous ﬂow in a bounded domain in R3 . Sell [369] established the existence of uniform attractors for the non-autonomous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain in R3 . Concerning an ideal gas (2.1.10), Zheng and Qin [452] proved the existence of maximal attractors in H i (i = 1, 2) for problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6). Recently Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [337, 339] established the existence of universal attractors in H i (i = 1, 2) for a one-dimensional heat-conductive real gas of problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) (see also Section 2.5) and for a compressible ﬂow between two horizontal parallel plates in R3 . Hoff and Ziane [150, 151] (see also Sections 2.6) proved the existence of a compact (global) attractor for the onedimensional isentropic compressible viscous ﬂow in a ﬁnite interval. Qin [323] proved the existence of a universal attractor in H 4 for the compressible heat-conductive viscous non-isentropic real gas whose equations (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) are more complicated than those in [150, 151]. Moreover, the isentropic compressible viscous ﬂows in a bounded domain in R3 was studied in [97–102, 369]. Since they were based on the fundamental results on global existence of weak solutions by Lions [235] and the uniqueness is not known, it is not possible to exploit the usual solution semigroup approach. As a result, the authors adopted a quite different method, i.e., they replaced the usual solution semigroup approach by a simple time shift, in other words, they worked on the space of “short” trajectories. Therefore, besides some differences above between [151, 152] and Sections 2.5–2.6, there also exist some differences between Sections 2.5–2.6 and references [97102, 369] in the following aspects: non-isentropic via isentropic; one-dimensional heatconductive viscous real gas via three-dimensional compressible ﬂows; solution semigroup approach via simple time shift. In this direction, based on the results on the existence of universal attractors in H i (i = 1, 2) in Sections 2.1–2.5 and the abstract framework in Theorem 1.6.4, we have established the existence of a universal attractor in H 4. For the basic theory of the associated inﬁnite-dimensional dynamics, we still refer to works by Babin [16], Babin and Vishik [17, 18], Ball [22, 23], Bernard and Wang [38], Caraballo, Rubin and Valero [48], Chepyzhov, Gatti, Grasselli, Miranville and Pata [56], Chepyzhov and Vishik [57], Dlotko [84], Eden and Kalantarov [90], Edfendiev, Zelik and Miranville [92], Feireisl [97, 98, 100], Feireisl and Petzeltova [101, 102], Ghidaglia [118],

Chapter 3

A One-dimensional Polytropic Viscous and Heat-conductive Gas In this chapter we shall investigate the global existence and asymptotic behavior in time of solutions to initial boundary value problems and the Cauchy problem (initial value problem) of compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a polytropic viscous and heatconductive gas. The results of this chapter come from Qin [315,316,345].

3.1 Initial Boundary Value Problems In this section we shall discuss some initial boundary value problems of compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a polytropic viscous and heat-conductive gas.

3.1.1 Global Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions In Chapter 2, we discussed problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) or (2.1.1)–(2.1.3), (2.2.1), (2.2.2) with more general constitutive relations and with the exponents q, r satisfying (2.1.14)–(2.1.18). However, assumptions (2.1.14)–(2.1.18) cannot cover the important case of q = r = 0, to which the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a polytropic viscous and heat-conductive gas belong, see, e.g., (2.1.10). In this subsection, we discuss the special case of q = r = 0. We make the following assumptions: (i) For any 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, p(u, θ ), e(u, θ ), Q(u, θ, θ x ) and k(u, θ ) satisfy e(u, θ ) = C V θ + F2 (u), F2 (u) ≥ 0, σ (u, v, vx ) = − p(u, θ ) + μ0 vx /u ≡ σ1 (u, θ ) + μ0 vx /u,

Remark 3.1.1. Our assumptions include a model of ideal gas whose constitutive relations take the form of (2.1.10), i.e., f1 (u) = − Ru , f 2 (u) = F2 (u) = 0. Moreover, the results in Theorem 3.1.1 can cover those in Kazhikhov and Shelukhin [196]. Remark 3.1.2. The assumptions (i)–(iii) correspond to the case of q = r = 0. Under the assumptions (i)–(iii), problem (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) and (2.1.5)–(2.1.6) reads u t − vx = 0, v x vt − μ0 − σ1x = 0, u x μ0 vx2 θx C V θt − θ f 1 (u)vx − − K0 = 0, u u x

We derive the uniform a priori estimates in the following. Lemma 3.1.1.

3.1.2 Exponential Stability In this section we establish the exponential stability of solutions to the problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of one-dimensional viscous polytropic ideal gas, which takes the form (3.1.5)–(3.1.9) with f1 (u) = −R/u, F2 (u) = f 2 (u) = 0, i.e., vt = σx ,

u t = vx , σ := μvx /u − Rθ/u,

Cv θt = [K 0 θx /u]x + σ vx ,

(3.1.46)

x = 0, 1 : v = 0, θx = 0, t = 0 : u = u 0 , v = v0 , θ = θ0 .

(3.1.47) (3.1.48)

Now let us consider the spaces H+1 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1], v|x=0 = v|x=1 = 0 and

H+i = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H i [0, 1] × H i [0, 1] × H i [0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1], v|x=0 = v|x=1 = θx |x=0 = θx |x=1 = 0 , i = 2, 4

which become three metric spaces when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norms. In the above, H 1, H 2, H 4 are the usual Sobolev spaces. Repeating the same reasoning as those in the proofs of Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 and 2.4.1, we conclude Theorem 3.1.3. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+i (i = 1, 2, 4), there exists a unique (generalized) d global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+i which deﬁnes a C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+i (i = 1, 2, 4). Moreover, there exists a constant γi = γi (Ci ) > 0 (i = 1, 2, 4) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γi ] and for any t > 0, the following inequality holds: (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) − (u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H i = S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H i +

3.1.3 Universal Attractors In this subsection, we shall establish the existence of universal attractors in H+i for problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.48). Without loss of generality we always assume that C V = R = μ = K 0 = 1. β Let βi (i = 1, . . . , 5) be any given constants such that β1 ∈ R, β2 > 0, β4 ≥ eβ21 > β3 > 0, 0 < β5 < β2 be arbitrarily given constants, and let 1 1 Hβi := (u, v, θ ) ∈ H+i : (log(θ ) + log(u))d x ≥ β1 , β5 ≤ (θ + v 2 /2)d x ≤ β2 , 0

is a sequence of closed subspaces of H+i (i = 1, 2, 4).

Our main result reads as follows. Theorem 3.1.4. The nonlinear semigroup S(t) deﬁned by the solution to problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.48) maps H+i (i = 1, 2, 4) into itself. Moreover, for any βi (i = 1, . . . , 5) with β1 < 0, β2 > 0, β4 ≥ attractor Ai,β (i = 1, 2, 4).

3.2 The Cauchy Problem 3.2.1 Global Existence in H 2 (R) In this subsection we study the regularity, continuous dependence on initial data and largetime behavior of H i -solutions (i = 1, 2, 4) solutions to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)– (3.1.46) for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a one-dimensional viscous polytropic ideal gas in Lagrangian coordinates with the initial conditions (u(x, 0), v(x, 0), θ (x, 0)) = (u 0 (x), v0 (x), θ0 (x)), ∀x ∀ ∈ R.

3.2. The Cauchy Problem

The equations (3.1.44)–(3.1.46) describe the motion of a one-dimensional viscous polytropic ideal gas, where u, v, θ are the speciﬁc volume, velocity, and absolute temperature, respectively; σ is the stress, μ, C V and K 0 are positive constants. We introduce the following deﬁnition of H i -solutions (i = 2, 4). Deﬁnition 3.2.1. For a ﬁxed constant T > 0 and some positive constants u¯ and θ¯ , we call (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) an H 2-generalized solution to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) if it is in the following set of functions: u − u, ¯ v, θ − θ¯ ∈ L ∞ ([0, T ], H 2(R)), ∞

It is noteworthy that there is no result on asymptotic behavior given in [194]. The aim of this section is to prove the global existence and continuous dependence on initial data of H i (R) (i = 1, 2, 4) (global) solutions for large initial data and then further to show the large-time behavior of this H i (R) (i = 2, 4) solution for small initial data.

We put · = · L 2 (R) and denote by Ci (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) the universal constant depending only on min u 0 (x), min θ0 (x), the H i (R) (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) norm of (u 0 − x∈R

Assume that for some positive constants u, ¯ θ¯ , u 0 − u, ¯ v0 , θ0 − θ¯ ∈ H 2(R) and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 on R and the compatibility conditions hold.

Moreover, the H i -generalized global solutions (i = 1, 2) are continuously dependent on initial data in the sense that (u 1 (t) − u 2 (t), v1 (t) − v2 (t), θ1 (t) − θ2 (t)) H i (3.2.18) ≤ Ci (T )(u 01 (t) − u 02 (t), v01 (t) − v02 (t), θ01 (t) − θ02 (t)) H i , i = 1, 2 where (u j (t), v j (t), θ j (t)) ( j = 1, 2) is the H i -generalized global solution (i = 1, 2) to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) with the initial datum (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H i (R)×H i (R)×H i (R) satisfying u 0 j −u, ¯ v0 j , θ0 j −θ¯ ∈ H i (R), u 0 j (x) > 0, θ0 j (x) > 0 on R and the compatibility conditions ( j = 1, 2).

(3.2.20) Moreover, the H 4-global solution is continuously dependent on initial data in the sense of (3.2.18) with i = 4. The proofs of Theorems 3.2.1–3.2.2 are similar to those of Theorem 2.3.2 and Theorem 2.4.1, but the difference is that now the constant depends on T , any given length of time. Remark 3.2.1. We know that H 2-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) obtained in Theorem 3.2.1 is not the classical one. By the embedding theorem (the Morrey theorem), we have 1 u 0 − u, ¯ v0 , θ0 − θ¯ ∈ C 1+ 2 (R). If we impose on the higher regularities of v0 , θ0 − θ¯ ∈ C 2+γ (R), γ ∈ (0, 1), then the global existence of classical solutions was obtained in [194]. Remark 3.2.2. From Remark 3.2.1 we know that the H 2-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) obtained in Theorem 3.2.1 can be understood as a generalized (global) solution between the classical (global) solution and the H 1-generalized (global) solution. Remark 3.2.3. Similar results in Theorems 3.2.1–3.2.2 with θ¯ = 0 hold for the initial boundary value problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46) with the boundary conditions v|x=0,1 = θ |x=0,1 = 0. ¯ v0 , θ0 − θ¯ ∈ Theorem 3.2.3. Assume that for some positive constants u, ¯ θ¯ , u 0 − u, H i (R) (i = 2, 4) and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 on R and the compatibility conditions hold. Deﬁne e0 := u 0 − u ¯ 2L ∞ + with α >

3.2.2 Large-Time Behavior of Solutions In this subsection, we ﬁnish the proof of Theorem 3.2.3. In order to study the large-time behavior of the H i -global solutions (i = 2, 4), obviously all the estimates in the proofs of Theorems 3.2.1–3.2.2 will no longer work because those estimates depend heavily on T > 0, any given length of time. Thus we have to derive the uniform estimates in H i (R) (i = 1, 2, 4) in which all the constants depend only on min u 0 (x), min θ0 (x), the x∈R

x∈R

¯ (and e0 or E 0 , E 1 (see, e.g., Theorem H i (R) (i = 1, 2, 4) norm of (u 0 − u, ¯ v0 , θ0 − θ) 3.2.3)), but independent of any length of time T > 0. Since for any unbounded domain, the Poincar´e´ inequality will not be valid and hence, unlike the corresponding initial boundary value problems in bounded domains (see, e.g., Section 3.1; see also, Amosov and Zlotnik [10, 11], Chen [51], Chen, Hoff and Trivisa [52], Ducomet and Zlotnik [88], Fujita-Yashima and Benabidallah [110, 111], Fujita-Yashima, Padula and Novotny [112], Hsiao and Luo [159], Jiang [165, 166], Luo [245], Matsumura and Nishida [255, 257], Nagasawa [283–287], Novotny and Stra˘s˘ kraba [301, 302], Okada and Kawashima [303], Qin [315–326],Qin and Fang [328], Qin and Hu [329], Qin, Huang and Ma [330], Qin and Jiang [331], Qin and Kong [332], Qin, Ma, Cavalcanti and Andrade [335], Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [337, 338], Qin and Song [343], Qin and Wen [344], Qin and Zhao [346], Zheng and Qin [451, 452]), the exponential decay of solutions will not be anticipated (see, e.g., Deckelnick [82], Hoff [143], Itaya [161], Jiang [167, 169–171], Jiang and Zlotnik [178], Kanel [182], Kawashima and Nishida [191], Kazhikhov [193, 194], Matsumura [251], Matsumura and Nishida [253, 254], Okada and Kawashima [303], Qin, Wu and Liu [345], Valli and Zajaczkowski [412], Zheng and Shen [453, 454]). Now we ﬁrst use some H 1-estimates given in [170, 196, 303] to establish uniform 1 H -estimates in the following lemma. Lemma 3.2.1. Assume that some constants u¯ > 0, θ¯ > 0, u 0 − u, ¯ v0 , θ0 − θ¯ ∈ H 1(R) and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 on R, and the compatibility conditions hold. Then there exists a constant 0 ∈ (0, 1] such that (I) if E 0 E 1 ≤ 0 , then, besides (3.2.13)–(3.2.14) with T = +∞, the H 1-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) satisﬁes that for any (x, t) ∈ R × [0, +∞), 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ C1 , 0<

and as t → +∞, (u(t) − u, ¯ v(t), θ (t) − θ¯ ) L ∞ + (u x (t), vx (t), θx (t)) → 0

or (II) if e0 ≤ 0 , then, besides (3.2.13)–(3.2.14) with T = +∞ and (3.2.32)–(3.2.36), the H 1-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) satisﬁes that for any (x, t) ∈ R × [0, +∞), 1 |u(x, t) − u| ¯ + φ(t)|θ (x, t) − θ¯ | < min(u, ¯ θ¯ ) 3

(3.2.37)

where φ(t) = min(1, t). Proof. Case I: From Okada and Kawashima [303] (see, e.g, Theorem 2.1) it follows that there exists a constant 1 ∈ (0, 1] such that if E 0 E 1 ≤ 1 , then H 1-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) satisﬁes estimates (3.2.32)–(3.2.34) and (3.2.36). Using the interpolation inequality: f L ∞ ≤ C f 1/2 f x 1/2 for any f ∈ H 1(R) where C > 0 is a positive constant independent of any length of time, we easily deduce (3.2.35) from (3.2.34). Case II: We know from Jiang [170] (see, e.g., Theorem 1.1 (ii) or [193,194]) there is a constant 2 ∈ (0, 1] such that if e0 ≤ 2 , then estimates (3.2.36)–(3.2.37) and u(t)− u ¯ 2 +v(t)2 +θ (t)− θ¯ 2 +

hold. Clearly, (3.2.33) is the direct result of (3.2.37). By (3.2.37), we get that for any t ≥ 1, 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ C1 , ∀x ∀ ∈ R.

(3.2.39)

Moreover, we ﬁnd from the proofs in Kazhikhov and Shelukhin [196] that C1−1 e−C1 t ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ C1 eC1 t ,

∀(x, t) ∈ R × [0, +∞).

Note that this estimate is not enough to derive (3.2.32), but combining it with (3.2.39) can yield estimate (3.2.32). In view of (3.1.44), we can write (3.1.45) in the form μ(

Multiplying (3.1.45) by vx x in L 2 (R), using (3.2.32)–(3.2.33), (3.2.38) and (3.2.41), the interpolation inequality and integrating by parts, we have t t vx (t)2 + vx x 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C1 + C1 (vx vx x u x 2 + θθx 2 + u x 2 )(τ )dτ 0 0 1 t vx x 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C1 + 2 0 whence

Since we have established uniform H 1-estimates in Lemma 3.2.1, we only need to repeat the same argumentations as the proof of Theorem 2.3.1 (see also Lemma 2.3.1) to be able to reach estimates (3.2.21)–(3.2.25) in Theorem 3.2.3. Now all constants in these estimates will no longer depend on T > 0, any length of time, i.e., Ci (+∞) = Ci (i = 1, 2, 4). In order to ﬁnish the proof of Theorem 3.2.3, it sufﬁces to prove the results on the large-time behavior of the H i (i = 2, 4)-global solutions in Theorem 3.2.3. The next two lemmas concern the large-time behavior of H 2 and H 4 global solutions respectively. Lemma 3.2.2. Under the assumptions in Theorem 3.2.3 with i = 2, if e0 ≤ 0 or E 0 E 1 ≤ 0 , then the H 2-generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) obtained in Theorem 3.2.1 to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) satisﬁes (3.2.27)–(3.2.28). Proof. We start from Lemma 3.2.1, repeat the same reasoning as the derivation of (2.3.65)–(2.3.68), (2.3.70), (2.3.73)–(2.3.74) in Lemmas 2.3.7–2.3.9 to obtain d vt (t)2 + (2C1 )−1 vt x (t)2 ≤ C2 (vx (t)2 + vx x (t)2 + θt (t)2 ), dt d θt (t)2 + (2C1 )−1 θt x (t)2 dt ≤ C2 (vx (t)2 + θθx (t)2 + θt (t)2 + vt x (t)2 ), d uxx (t)2 + (2C1 )−1 u x x (t)2 dt u ≤ C2 (θθx (t)2 + u x (t)2 + vx x (t)2 + θθx x (t)2 + vt x (t)2 ),

(3.2.46)

vx x (t) ≤ C1 (vt (t) + vx (t) + u x (t)) ≤ C2 , θθx x (t) ≤ C1 (θt (t) + θθx (t) + vx (t) + vx x (t)) ≤ C2 ,

(3.2.47)

vx (t)2L ∞ ≤ Cvx (t)vx x (t) ≤ C2 , θθx (t)2L ∞ ≤ Cθθx (t)θθx x (t) ≤ C2 , (3.2.50) u x (t)2L ∞ ≤ Cu x (t)u x x (t) ≤ C2 .

(3.2.51)

Applying Theorem 1.2.4 to (3.2.45)–(3.2.47) and using estimate (3.2.25), we obtain that as t → +∞, vt (t) → 0, θt (t) → 0, u x x (t) → 0

which, with (3.2.36) and (3.2.48)–(3.2.51), implies that as t → +∞, vx x (t) + θθx x (t) + u t (t) H 1 → 0, u t (t)

(3.2.53) (3.2.54)

Thus (3.2.27)–(3.2.28) follows from (3.2.36) and (3.2.52)–(3.2.54). The proof is complete. Lemma 3.2.3. Under the assumptions in Theorem 3.2.3 with i = 4, if e0 ≤ 0 or E 0 E 1 ≤ 0 , then the H 4-global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) obtained in Theorem 3.2.2 to the Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1) satisﬁes (3.2.29)–(3.2.30). Proof. Similarly to (2.4.30), (2.4.31), (2.4.42)–(2.4.49), (2.4.51), (2.4.69), (2.4.81) and using (3.2.25), we derive d vt t (t)2 + (2C1 )−1 vt t x (t)2 (3.2.55) dt ≤ C2 (θθx x (t)2 + θt x (t)2H 1 + vx (t)2H 1 + vt x (t)2 + θt (t)2 + u x (t)2 ), d θt t (t)2 + C1−1 θt t x (t)2 (3.2.56) dt ≤ C4 (θt x (t)2 + vt x (t)2H 1 + vx (t)2 + θt (t)2 + vt t x (t)2 + θt t (t)2 ), d vt x (t)2 + C1−1 vt x x (t)2 (3.2.57) dt ≤ C2 (θt x (t)2 + vt x (t)2 + θt (t)2 + vx x (t)2 + θθx (t)2 + u x (t)2 ), d θt x (t)2 + C1−1 θt x x (t)2 (3.2.58) dt ≤ C2 (θt x (t)2 + θθx x (t)2 + vx x (t)2 + u x (t)2 ), u d u x x x 2 x x x 2 (t) + C1−1 (t) ≤ C1 E 1 (t)2 , (3.2.59) dt u u d u x x x x 2 u x x x x 2 (t) + C1−1 (t) ≤ C1 E 2 (t)2 (3.2.60) dt u u where, by (3.2.25),

Chapter 3. A One-dimensional Polytropic Viscous and Heat-conductive Gas

Applying Theorem 1.2.4 to (3.2.55)–(3.2.60) and using estimates (3.2.25) and (3.2.61), we infer that as t → +∞, vt t (t) → 0, θt t (t) → 0, vt x (t) → 0,

(3.2.62)

θt x (t) → 0, u x x x (t) → 0, u x x x x (t) → 0.

(3.2.63)

In the same manner as the proofs of Lemmas 2.4.1–2.4.4 and using the interpolation inequality, we deduce that vx x x (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) + u x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 + vt x (t)), (3.2.64) vt x x (t) ≤ C1 vt t (t) + C2 (vx x (t) + u x (t) + vt x (t) + θθx (t) + θt (t) + θt x ), vx x x x (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 2 + u x (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 2 + vt x x (t)),

(3.2.65) (3.2.66)

vt x (t)2L ∞ ≤ Cvt x (t)vt x x (t), vt (t)2L ∞ ≤ Cvt (t)vt x (t),

(3.2.68)

u x x x (t)2L ∞

≤ Cu x x x (t)u x x x x (t).

(3.2.69)

Thus it follows from (3.1.44), (3.2.62)–(3.2.69) and Theorem 1.2.4 that as t → +∞, (u x (t), vx (t)) H 3 + vt (t) H 2 + u t (t) H 3 + u t (t)W 2,∞ +u t t (t) H 1 + (u x (t), vx (t))W 2,∞ → 0.

(3.2.70)

Analogously, we can derive that as t → +∞, θθx (t) H 3 + θt (t) H 2 + θt (t)W 1,∞ + θθx (t)W 2,∞ → 0 which together with Theorem 1.2.4 and (3.2.70) implies estimates (3.2.29)–(3.2.30). The proof is complete. Now we have ﬁnished the proof of Theorem 3.2.3.

Proof of Corollary 3.2.3. Applying the embedding theorem, we readily get estimate (3.2.31) and complete the proof from Theorem 3.2.3

3.3 Bibliographic Comments For the one-dimensional Cauchy problem (3.1.44)–(3.1.46), (3.2.1), Itaya [161], Kanel [182], Kazhikhov [193–195] obtained the global existence and large-time behavior (only for v, θ ) of H 1-solutions. In this case, Okada and Kawashima [303] established the global existence and large-time behavior of classical (or H 1-) solution with small initial data and Jiang [170] proved the large-time behavior of H 1-solution with weighted small initial

For the one-dimensional initial (boundary) value problems, we still refer to the works by Amosov and Zlotnik [10, 11], Chen [51], Chen, Hoff and Trivisa [52], Ducomet and Zlotnik [88], Hoff and Ziane [150, 151], Hsiao and Luo [158], Huang, Matsumura and Xin [160], Jiang [165, 166, 170, 171], Jiang and Zhang [177], Jiang and Zlotnik [178], Kawashima and Nishida [191], Kawohl [192], Kazhikhov [193, 194], Nagasawa [283–287], Nikolaev [295], Okada and Kawashima [303], Qin [315–326], Qin and Fang [328], Qin and Hu [329], Qin, Huang and Ma [330], Qin and Jiang [331], Qin and Kong [332], Qin, Ma, Cavalcanti and Andrade [335], Qin, Ma and Huang [336], Qin and Mu˜noz Rivera [337, 338], Qin, Wu and Liu [345], Qin and Zhao [346], Vong, Yang and Zhu [417], Yang [433], Yang, Yao and Zhu [434], Yang and Zhao [435], Zhang and Fang [440, 441], Zheng and Qin [451, 452], Zheng and Shen [453, 454], and the references therein. For multi-dimensional initial (boundary) value problems, the global existence and large-time behavior of smooth solutions have been investigated for general domains only in case of “small initial data”. We also consult the works by Deckelnick [82], Feireisl [97– 100], Feireisl and Petzeltova [101–103], Feireisl, Novotny and Petzeltova [104], Foias and Temam [105], Frid and Shelukhin [106], Fujita-Yashima and Benabidallah [110, 111], Fujita-Yashima, Padula and Novotny [112], Galdi [115], Ghidaglia and Temam [119], Hoff [142–146], Hoff and Serre [147], Jiang [167, 169, 170], Jiang and Zhang [174–176], Kawashima [188, 189], Matsumura [251], Matsumura and Nishida [253–257], Novotny and Stra˘s˘kraba [301, 302], Padula [305], Qin [325, 326], Qin, Deng and Su [327], Qin and Hu [329], Qin, Huang and Ma [330], Qin and Jiang [331], Qin and Ma, Cavalcanti and Andrade [335], Qin and Song [343], Qin and Wen [344], Rosa [363], Sell [369], Valli and Zajaczkowski [412], Vishik and Chepyzhov [413, 414], Wu ana Zhong [429], Xin [431], Zhang and Fang [441], Zheng [449], Zheng and Qin [452], and the references therein.

Chapter 4

A Polytropic Ideal Gas in Bounded Annular Domains in Rn In this chapter we shall establish the global existence and exponential stability of solutions in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a polytropic ideal gas in bounded annular domains in Rn (n = 2, 3). Since the versions of these equations are more complicated than (2.1.1)–(2.1.3) in Chapter 2, it is necessary for us to further study this model. The results of this chapter are adopted from Qin [325, 335, 452].

4.1 Global Existence and Asymptotic Behavior in H 1 and H 2 In this section we study the global existence and exponential stability of solutions of a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) in H+i (i = 1, 2), the subspaces of H i ×H H0i ×H i (i = 1, 2), for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in Eulerian coordinates in the bounded annular domain G n = {x ∈ Rn : 0 < a < |x| < b}, (see, e.g., [110, 111, 170, 171, 325, 331, 335, 343, 452]) (n − 1) ρv = 0, (4.1.1) r (n − 1) (n − 1) ∂r v − v + R∂r (ρθ ) = 0, r ∈ G n , t > 0, ρ(∂t v + v∂r v) − β ∂r2 v + r r2 (4.1.2)

Here subscripts denote partial differentiations, and R, μ, C V , κ and λ are constants satisfying R, C V , κ, μ > 0, λ + 2μ/n ≥ 0 for n = 2, 3 and β = λ + 2μ > 0. We shall consider problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.3) in the region {r ∈ G n , t ≥ 0} subject to the initial boundary conditions ρ(r, 0) = ρ0 (r ), v(r, 0) = v0 (r ), θ (r, 0) = θ0 (r ), r ∈ G n , v(a, t) = v(b, t) = 0, θr (a, t) = θr (b, t) = 0, t ≥ 0.

(4.1.4) (4.1.5)

The equations (4.1.1)–(4.1.3) describe the spherically symmetric motion of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in the annular domain G n in the cases of n = 2, 3 (see, e.g., [110], [111], [170], [171], [325], [331], [335], [343], [452]), where ρ, v, θ are the density, velocity, and absolute temperature, respectively; λ and μ are the constant viscosity coefﬁcients, R, C V , and κ are the gas constant, speciﬁc heat capacity, and thermal conductivity, respectively. The aim of this section is to prove that for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) of a viscous polytropic ideal gas in bounded annular domains in Rn (n = 2, 3), the generalized global (spherically symmetric for n = 2, 3) solutions deﬁne a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on two incomplete metric subspaces H+i (i = 1, 2) of H i × H0i × H i (i = 1, 2); then we show that the semigroup S(t) is exponentially stable on H+i (i = 1, 2), which further leads to the exponential convergence to a steady constant state in H+i (i = 1, 2) of the generalized global solutions as time goes to inﬁnity. In what follows we ﬁrst transfer problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) to that in Lagrangian coordinates and obtain the results on exponential stability of C0 -semigroup S(t). Then we go back to the Eulerian coordinates and draw the corresponding conclusions. It is known that the Eulerian coordinates (r, t) are connected to the Lagrangian coordinates (ξ, t) by the relation

which, with (4.1.6)–(4.1.7) and (4.1.9), implies that L is invariant along the trajectory {ρ(s, t) : a ≤ s ≤ b, t ≥ 0}. Moreover, differentiating (4.1.9) with respect to ξ , we have ∂ξ r (ξ, t) = [r (ξ, t)n−1 ρ(r (ξ, t), t)]−1 .

(4.1.10)

φ (ξ, t) = φ(r (ξ, t), t). Then by virtue of (4.1.6)–(4.1.7) We denote a function φ(r, t) by and (4.1.10), we ﬁnally arrive at ∂t φ(ξ, t) = ∂t φ(r, t) + v∂r φ(r, t), ∂r φ(r, t) . ∂ξ φ (ξ, t) = ∂r φ(r, t)∂ξ r (ξ, t) = n−1 r ρ(r, t)

(4.1.11) (4.1.12)

We denote ( ρ , v, θ ) still by (ρ, v, θ ) and (ξ, t) by (x, t) if there is no danger of confusion. We use u = 1/ρ to denote the speciﬁc volume. Thus, by virtue of (4.1.6)–(4.1.7) and (4.1.11)–(4.1.12), equations (4.1.1)–(4.1.3) in the new variables (x, t) are u t = (r n−1 v)x , (4.1.13) n−1 θ v)x β(r −R , x ∈ n , t > 0, (4.1.14) vt = r n−1 u u x 2n−2 1 θx r C V θt = κ + β(r n−1 v)x − Rθ (r n−1 v)x − 2μ(n − 1)(r n−2 v 2 )x , u u x (4.1.15) with the initial boundary conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x), v(x, 0) = v0 (x), θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x), x ∈ n , v(0, t) = v(L, t) = 0, θ x (0, t) = θ x (L, t) = 0, t ≥ 0, and, by (4.1.6) and (4.1.10), r (x, t) is determined by t r (x, t) = r0 (x) + v(x, τ )dτ, r0 (x) = (a n + n 0

For the case of n = 2 or n = 3, we assume that λ and μ satisfy nλ + 2μ > 0.

(4.1.19)

Our ﬁrst task is to study problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) with ﬁxed L > 0. We deﬁne two spaces,

H+1 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[0, L] × H 1[0, L] × H 1[0, L] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, L], v|x=0 = v|x=L = 0 and

H+2 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 2[0, L] × H 2[0, L] × H 2[0, L] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, L], v|x=0 = v|x=L = θx |x=0 = θx |x=L = 0

which become two metric spaces when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norms. In the above, H 1, H 2 are the usual Sobolev spaces. We put · = · L 2 , Q T := n × (0, T ). We use Ci (i = 1, 2) to denote the universal constant depending only on the H i norm of initial data, min u 0 (x) and x∈[0,L]

min θ0 (x), but independent of t.

Theorem 4.1.1. Assume that (4.1.19) is valid. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then there exists a unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17), which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 such that S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+1 ), u − u, ¯ v, θ − θ¯ , u t , vt , θt , θx , vx , u x , vx x , θx x , r − r, ¯ (r − r¯ )x , (r − r¯ )x x , rt , rt x , rt x x ∈ L 2 ([0, +∞); L 2) and the following estimates hold: 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ C1 on [0, L] × [0, +∞), 0<

Moreover, (4.1.24) means that the semigroup S(t) is exponentially stable on H+1 , i.e., for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ1 ], the following inequality holds for any t > 0, S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u, ¯ 0, θ¯ )2H 1 ≤ C1 e−γ t . +

(4.1.30)

Remark 4.1.1. We know that the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 obtained in Theorem 4.1.2 is not the classical one. Indeed, if (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , by the 1

embedding theorem, we have u 0 , v0 , θ0 ∈ C 1+ 2 ( n ). If we impose on the higher regularities of v0 , θ0 ∈ C 2+α ( n ), α ∈ (0, 1), by the same method as that in [194] for n = 1, the following results on the global existence of classical solutions are readily obtained. Theorem 4.1.3. We assume that u 0 ∈ C 1+α ( n ), v0 , θ0 ∈ C 2+α ( n ), α ∈ (0, 1) and the compatibility conditions u t |x=0,L = vt |x=0,L = θt |x=0,L = 0 hold, then the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 obtained in Theorem 4.1.2 is the α classical one satisfying u(x, t) ∈ C 1+α,1+ 2 (Q T ), α v(x, t), θ (x, t) ∈ C 2+α,2+ 2 (Q T ) for any T > 0. Remark 4.1.2. We know from Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 that the generalized (global) solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 can be understood as a generalized (global) solution between the classical (global) solution and the generalized (global) solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 . Remark 4.1.3. The results for i = 1 in Theorem 4.1.1 improve those in [170] for large initial data. Remark 4.1.4. Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 also hold when the boundary conditions (4.1.17) are replaced by v(0, t) = v(L, t) = 0, θ (0, t) = θ (L, t) = θ˜ where θ˜ > 0 is a constant and θ¯ is replaced by θ˜ . Now we go back to the Eulerian coordinates and consider problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) with G n = (a, b) being ﬁxed. Let b H L1 ,G = (ρ, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[a, b] × H 1[a, b] × H 1[a, b] : s n−1 ρds a

4.1.1 Uniform A Priori Estimates in H 1 In this subsection we complete the proof of Theorem 4.1.1. We begin with the following lemma. Lemma 4.1.1. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then there exists a unique generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) satisfying u t , vt , θt , θx , vx , u x , vx x , θx x ∈ L 2 ([0, +∞); L 2), 0 < θ (x, t) ≤ C1 on [0, L] × [0, ∞), 1 ≤ n ≤ 3, 0 < C1−1 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ C1

and there exist positive constants T0 , C1 , independent of t, such that −1

Proof. The existence of generalized global solutions in H+1 and the estimates (4.1.40)– (4.1.43) and (4.1.45) were obtained in [170] for n = 2, 3. By the results in [170] for n = 2, 3, we know that 2

The combination of (4.1.46)–(4.1.50) and (4.1.52)–(4.1.54) implies (4.1.44). The proof is complete. In what follows we shall derive the uniform estimates in H+1 in Theorem 4.1.1 of generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)). The next lemma concerns the uniform global (in time) positive lower boundedness (independent of t) of the absolute temperature θ , which was not obtained before. Lemma 4.1.2. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ (x, t),

∀(x, t) ∈ [0, L] × [0, +∞).

Proof. Let w = θ1 . By virtue of (4.1.19) and taking δ > 0 such that 2(n − 1)μ 2(n − 2)μ < < δ < 1, if n = 2, 3, 0 ≤ (n − 1)β nβ then after a straightforward calculation, equation (4.1.15) can be transformed to 2n−2 wx )x − 2κρr 2n−2 θ w2x + ρw2 [(n − 1)δβ − 2(n − 2)μ] C V wt = κ(ρr × r −1 uv +

Multiplying (4.1.56) by 2mw2m−1 with m being an arbitrary natural number, and integrating the resultant over n = (0, L), by the fact that the expression in the bracket {·} is non-negative and by H¨o¨ lder’s inequality, we get L R2 2m−1 d C V w(t) L 2m w(t) L 2m ≤ ρw2m−1 d x dt 4(1 − δ)β 0 ≤ C1 w(t)2m−1 ≤ C1 ρ L 2m w(t)2m−1 L 2m L 2m which implies, by taking m −→ +∞, that w(t) L ∞ ≤ 1/θ0 L ∞ + C1 t ≤ C1 (1 + t). Thus, for all x ∈ [0, L], t ≥ 0, 1 . (4.1.57) C1 (1 + t) By (4.1.45) and the imbedding theorem, there exists t0 ≥ T0 such that for any t ≥ t0 , we have that for all x ∈ [0, L], t ≥ 0, θ (x, t) ≥

θ (x, t) ≥ θ¯ /2 > 0 which, together with (4.1.57), implies (4.1.55). The proof is complete.

Let v2 ∂e ∂e ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ +e(u, S)−e(u, ¯ S)− (u, ¯ S)(u − u)− ¯ (u, ¯ S)(S − S), 2 ∂u ∂S S = C V log θ + R log u, (entropy), C V exp(S/C V ) , (internal energy), e(u, S) = C V θ = C V θ (u, S) = u R/C V where u¯ and θ¯ are the same as those in (4.1.25) and S¯ is deﬁned as E(u, v, S) =

It follows from Lemmas 4.1.1–4.1.2 that u ≤ C1 , 0 < C1−1 ≤ θ ≤ C1 , | S| ≤ C1 . 0 < C1−1 ≤

with σ = β(r n−1 v)x /u − Rθ/u.

Thus the estimate (4.1.24) follows from (4.1.47)–(4.1.50), (4.1.52)–(4.1.54) and (4.1.75)– (4.1.76). The proof is complete. Lemma 4.1.6. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , the generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) satisﬁes (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞), H+1 ), u(t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), H 1), v(t), θ (t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), L 2 ).

Moreover, this generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 . Proof. For any t1 ≥ 0, t > 0, integrating (4.1.13) over (t1 , t) and using Lemmas 4.1.1– 4.1.2, we obtain t 1/2 u(t) − u(t1 ) H 1 ≤ C1 (r n−1 v)x x 2 dτ |t − t1 |1/2 ≤ C1 |t − t1 |1/2 t1

which implies u(t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), H 1). In the same manner we easily prove v(t), θ (t) ∈ C 1/2 ([0, +∞), L 2 ). By Lemma 4.1.1, we know that for any t > 0, the operator S(t) : (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 −→ (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+1 exists, where (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) is the unique generalized global solution to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) with the initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ), by the uniqueness of generalized global solutions, and S(t) satisﬁes on H+1 that, for any t1 , t2 ∈ [0, +∞), S(t1 + t2 ) = S(t1 )S(tt2 ) = S(tt2 )S(t1 ).

(4.1.79)

Moreover, by Lemma 4.1.1, S(t) is uniformly bounded on H+1 with respect to t > 0, i.e., S(t)L(H H 1 ,H H 1 ) ≤ C1 . +

(4.1.80)

We ﬁrst verify the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+1 for any t > 0. To this end, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+1 , ( j = 1, 2),

(u j , v j , θ j ) = S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ),

and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) − (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). Subtracting the corresponding equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain u t = (r1n−1 v)x + [(r1n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 ]x , (4.1.81) (r n−1 v2 )x u ((r n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 )x (r1n−1 v)x vt = βr1n−1 − 1 + 1 + β(r1n−1 − r2n−1 ) u1 u1u2 u2 x (r2n−1 v2 )x u − θ u θ θ2 2 2 + Rr1n−1 − R(r1n−1 − r2n−1 ) , × u2 u1u2 u2 x x x

Multiplying (4.1.81), (4.1.82) and (4.1.83) by u, v and θ respectively, adding them up and integrating the result over [0, L], recalling vx ≤ C1 (r1n−1 v)x and using (4.1.87)– (4.1.92), we deduce that for any small > 0, L β(r1n−1 v)2x + κr12n−2 θx2 1 d (u(t)2 + v(t)2 + C V θ (t)2 ) + dx 2 dt u1 0 ≤ ((r1n−1 v)x (t)2 + vx (t)2 + θθx (t)2 ) + C1 H1 (t)(u(t)2 + v(t)2 + θ (t)2 ) which, together with Lemma 4.1.1, leads to d (u(t)2 + v(t)2 + C V θ (t)2 ) + C1−1 (vx (t)2 + (r1n−1 v)x (t)2 + θθx (t)2 ) dt (4.1.93) ≤ C1 H1 (t)(u(t)2 + v(t)2 + θ (t)2 ) where, by (4.1.86), H1(t) = v1x x (t)2 + v2x x (t)2 + θ2x x (t)2 + 1 satisﬁes that for any t > 0, t H1(τ )dτ ≤ C1 (1 + t).

By Lemma 4.1.1, the embedding theorem, (4.1.82) and (4.1.87)–(4.1.92), we get (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt (t)2 + (r1n−1 v)x (t)2L ∞ + θ (t)2H 1 + ((r1n−1 v2 )x x (t)2 + v2x x (t)2 )u(t)2H 1 1 ≤ (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2 + C1 (vt (t)2 + θ (t)2H 1 ) 2 + C1 ((r1n−1 v)x (t)2 + v2x x (t)2 u(t)2H 1 ) which gives vx x (t)2 + (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt (t)2 + C1 H1(t)((r1n−1 v)x (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ).

which leads to the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+1 . By (4.1.79)– (4.1.80), in order to derive (4.1.77), it sufﬁces to show that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 → 0, as t → 0+ , +

(4.1.103)

which also yields S(0) = I

with I being the unit operator on H+1 . To derive (4.1.103), we choose a function sequence m m (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) which is smooth enough, for example, m m 1+α (u m ( n ) × C 2+α ( n ) × C 2+α ( n )) ∩ H+1 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ (C

By the regularity results (see Theorem 4.1.3), we conclude that for arbitrary but ﬁxed T > 0, there exists a unique global smooth solution (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) ∈ (C 1+α (Q T ) × C 2+α (Q T ) × C 2+α (Q T )) ∩ H+1 , Q T = n × (0, T ).

Using Lemmas 4.1.1–4.1.2, (4.1.47)–(4.1.50) and (4.1.52)–(4.1.54), we complete the proof of Theorem 4.1.1.

4.1.2 Uniform a priori estimates in H 2 In this subsection we shall complete the proof of Theorem 4.1.2. We begin with the following lemma. Lemma 4.1.7.

The proof of Lemma 4.1.7 can be divided into six lemmas. In what follows, our attention will be paid to the uniform estimate of the speciﬁc volume u in H 2. To this end, similarly to that in [450] for n = 1, we need to give a representation of u, which has been obtained for n = 2 or n = 3 in [170]. For n = 1, a similar representation with more general constitutive relations of p = p(u, θ ) (the pressure) and σ = σ (u, θ, vx ) (the stress) has been given in Chapter 2 (see, e.g., Lemma 2.1.3). Lemma 4.1.8. For each t ≥ 0, there exists a point x 0 = x 0 (t) ∈ [0, L] such that the speciﬁc volume u(x, t) has the following representation: u(x, t) =

Note that u > 0. If we apply the mean value theorem to (4.1.119) and use (4.1.120), then we conclude that for each t ≥ 0, there is an x 0 (t) ∈ [0, L] such that L 1 φ(x 0 (t), t) = φ(x, t)u(x, t)d x.

the following estimate holds,

(4.1.127)

Proof. The proof is motivated by the idea in Chapter 2 (Lemma 2.3.9) for n = 1, but because B(x, t) depends on the variables x and t for n = 2 or n = 3, so the situation is more complicated than that in Chapter 2.

By (4.1.51) and (4.1.143), we derive that dˆx x x ≤ C2 which with (4.1.51)–(4.1.54) and the Poincar´e´ inequality implies (r (t) − r¯ )x x x ≤ C1 (u x x (t) + u x (t) + u(t) − u ¯ L ∞ ) + C1 u(t) − u ¯ L 1 dˆx x x ¯ H2. ≤ C2 (u x x (t) + u x (t)) ≤ C2 u(t) − u

Thus the estimate (4.1.127) follows from (4.1.143)–(4.1.144) and (4.1.51)–(4.1.54). The proof is complete. Lemma 4.1.10. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , the following estimates hold for any t > 0: θt (t)2 + vt (t)2 +

Differentiating (4.1.14) and (4.1.15) with respect to x, using Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5, we infer vx x x (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) + u x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 + vt x (t)),

Moreover, appealing to (4.1.47)–(4.1.49), (4.1.13), (4.1.165)–(4.1.166), Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5, we have rt (t) H 3 + v(t)W 2,∞ + u t (t) H 2 ≤ C2 vx (t) H 2 , ∀t > 0, θ (t) − θ¯ W 2,∞ ≤ C2 (θθx (t) H 2 + vx (t)), ∀t > 0.

(4.1.167) (4.1.168)

Hence the combination of (4.1.155), (4.1.157), (4.1.158), (4.1.161), (4.1.163)–(4.1.168), Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5 yields the estimates (4.1.145)–(4.1.146). Now for n = 2, 3, similarly to (4.1.52)–(4.1.54), in view of (4.1.145)–(4.1.146), we derive r (t) − r¯ H 3 + u(t) − u ¯ W 1,∞ ≤ C2 u(t) − u ¯ H2 (4.1.169) which combined with (4.1.47)–(4.1.49), Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5 gives the required estimate (4.1.146). The proof is complete. Combining Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5 with Lemmas 4.1.8–4.1.10, we easily infer the following lemma. Lemma 4.1.11. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , the estimate (4.1.28) holds. The estimate (4.1.107) and the global existence in H+2 of generalized solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) follows from Lemma 4.1.1, Lemma 4.1.5 and Lemmas 4.1.7–4.1.9. Similarly to (4.1.78), by Lemmas 4.1.8–4.1.10, we can prove that the relation (4.1.109) is valid. To complete the proof of Lemma 4.1.7, it sufﬁces to prove the continuity of S(t) with respect to (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 . This will be done in the next lemma. Lemma 4.1.12. The generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+2 deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semi group S(t) on H+2 . Proof. The uniqueness of generalized global solutions in H+2 follows from that in H+1 . Thus S(t) satisﬁes (4.1.79) on H+2 and by Lemmas 4.1.8–4.1.10, S(t)L(H H+2 ,H H+2 ) ≤ C2 . In the same manner as in the proof of Lemma 2.3.10, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+2 , ( j = 1, 2), (u j , v j , θ j ) = S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) − (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). Subtracting the corresponding equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.15) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain equations (4.1.81)–(4.1.85). Similarly to (4.1.95), we have θθx x (t)2 + (r12n−2 θx )x 2 ≤ C1 (θt (t)2 + H1 (t)G 1 (t)).

where R(x, t) are the remaining terms. By Lemma 4.1.9, (4.1.87)–(4.1.92), we easily obtain R(t)2 ≤ C2 (1 + v2x x x (t)2 )(u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 + (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2 ). (4.1.172) Here and hereafter in the proof of this lemma, C2 > 0 denotes the universal constant depending only on the H 2 norm of the initial data (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) and min u 0 j (x) and min θ0 j (x) ( j = 1, 2), but independent of t.

(4.1.177) Now multiplying (4.1.176) by a large number N2 > 0, then adding up the result, (4.1.175) and (4.1.177), we have d G 2 (t) ≤ C2 H2(t)(vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 + u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 ) dt (4.1.178) ≤ C2 H2(t)(G 1 (t) + G 2 (t)) where G 2 (t) = uux1x (t)2 + N2 vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 . Thus adding (4.1.101) to (4.1.178) gives d G(t) ≤ C2 H2(t)G(t) dt where G(t) = G 1 (t) + G 2 (t), which, together with Gronwall’s inequality, (4.1.90) and (4.1.170), implies t 2 2 2 u(t) H 2 + v(t) H 2 + θ (t) H 2 ≤ C2 G(t) ≤ C2 G(0) exp(C2 H2(τ )dτ ) 0

which leads to the continuity of semigroup S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+2 (and the uniqueness of generalized global solutions in H+2 ). Similarly to the proof of (4.1.78), by the continuity of the semigroup S(t) and the local regularity results, we can prove (4.1.108). Thus the proof is complete. The proof of Lemma 4.1.7 is now complete.

The next two lemmas concern the exponential stability of generalized global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H 2 × H02 × H 2 (or equivalently, of semigroup S(t) on H+2 ) for the cases of n = 1, 2, 3. Lemma 4.1.13. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , there exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], the following estimates hold for any t > 0: t eγ t (θt (t)2 + vt (t)2 ) + eγ τ (vxt 2 + θθxt 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C2 , (4.1.179) 0

eγ τ r − r¯ 2H 3 + u − u ¯ 2H 2 + u − u ¯ 2W 1,∞ (τ )dτ ≤ C2 . (4.1.181) 0

Proof. Multiplying (4.1.154) by eγ t in L 2 ((0, L) × (0, t)), using Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5, we deduce that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ1 ], t eγ t vt (t)2 + C1−1 eγ τ vxt 2 (τ )dτ (4.1.182) 0 t ≤ C2 + C1 (γ ) eγ τ (vt 2 + vx x 2 + θt 2 + θθx 2 + u x 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C2 0

which, together with Lemmas 4.1.1, 4.1.5 and equations (4.1.157), (4.1.158), (4.1.164), (4.1.165), (4.1.167) and (4.1.168), yields

eγ τ vx x x 2 + v2W 2,∞ + u t 2H 2 + (n − 1)rt 2H 3 (τ )dτ ≤ C2 . + 0

Similarly, we can infer from (4.1.47)–(4.1.49), (4.1.52)–(4.1.56), Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5 that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ1 ] and for any t > 0, ¯ 2 1,∞ ) + e (θt (t) + θθx x (t) + θ (t) − θ W γt

we arrive at u d γt u x x 2 x x 2 e (t) ≤ C2 eγ t (θθx (t)2 + θθx x (t)2 (t) + (4C1 )−1 eγ t dt u u +vx x (t)2 + u x (t)2 + vt x (t)2 ) which, together with (4.1.182), Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5, implies eγ t u x x (t)2 +

By virtue of Lemmas 4.1.1 and 4.1.5, (4.1.182)–(4.1.185), (4.1.157), (4.1.158), (4.1.164), (4.1.165), (4.1.167)–(4.1.169), we can deduce the estimates (4.1.179)–(4.1.181). The proof is complete. Combining Lemmas 4.1.7–4.1.14 with Lemma 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.1.5, we easily derive the estimates (4.1.28)–(4.1.29) and hence the proof of Theorem 4.1.2 is now complete.

4.1.3 Results in Eulerian Coordinates In this subsection we will complete the proofs of Theorem 4.1.4–4.1.5. Now we return to problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) in Eulerian coordinates, and we have Lemma 4.1.14. For any (ρ0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H Li ,G (i = 1, 2), there exists a unique generalized global solution (ρ, v, θ ) ∈ C([0, +∞), H Li ,G ) which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H Li ,G . Proof. For any given initial data (ρ0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H Li ,G (i = 1, 2), it follows from the relationship (4.1.6), (4.1.7), (4.1.9) between the Eulerian coordinates and the Lagrangian coordinates that ( u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = ( ρ10 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+i . By Lemma 4.1.1, Lemma 4.1.6 and Lemma 4.1.7, there exists a unique generalized global solution ( u (ξ, t), v (ξ, t), θ (ξ, t)) ∈ i i C([0, +∞), H+) which deﬁnes a C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+ . It easy to see from Lemma 4.1.1, Lemma 4.1.6 and Lemma 4.1.7 and the relationship between the Lagrangian coordinates and the Eulerian coordinates (4.1.6), (4.1.7) that problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) admits a unique generalized global solution (ρ(r, t), v(r, t), θ (r, t)) ∈ C([0, +∞), H Li ,G ) which deﬁnes a C0 -semigroup S(t) on H Li ,G . The proof is complete. Proofs of Theorems 4.1.4–4.1.5 By Lemma 4.1.14, for any (ρ0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H Li ,G , there exists a unique generalized global solution (ρ, v, θ ) ∈ C([0, +∞), H Li ,G ) which deﬁnes a C0 -semigroup S(t) on H Li ,G . Clearly, estimates (4.1.31)–(4.1.32) follow from (4.1.20)–(4.1.21). Exploiting the relationships (4.1.6), (4.1.7) and (4.1.9) between the Lagrangian coordinates and the

200

Eulerian coordinates, we infer that for a function f (x, t) ∈ L p (0, L) with any ﬁxed 1 ≤ p < +∞ in Lagrange coordinates (x, t),

Now letting p −→ +∞ in (4.1.186), we have f (t) L ∞ (a,b) = f (t) L ∞ (0,L) .

(4.1.187)

Thus using (4.1.186), (4.1.187), estimates (4.1.33), (4.1.34) in Theorem 4.1.4 and (4.1.37), (4.1.38) in Theorem 4.1.5 follow from (4.1.23), (4.1.24) and (4.1.28), (4.1.29), respectively. The proofs are complete.

4.2 Exponential Stability in H 4 In this section we shall establish the exponential stability in H 4 of solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations of problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) or (4.1.13)–(4.1.17).

4.2.1 Main Results In this subsection, we will present the main results. Now we ﬁrst study problem (4.1.1)– (4.1.5) or (4.1.13)–(4.1.17). Similarly to the deﬁnitions of H+1 and H+2 in Section 4.1, we deﬁne

H+4 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 4[0, L] × H 4[0, L] × H 4[0, L] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, L], v|x=0 = v|x=L = 0, θx |x=0 = θ x |x=L = 0

which becomes a metric space when equipped with the metric induced from the usual norm. In the above, H 4 is the usual Sobolev space. We put · = · L 2 and use Ci (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) to stand for the generic constant depending only on the H+i norm of initial data, min u 0 (x) and min θ0 (x). x∈[0,L]

x∈[0,L]

Theorem 4.2.1. Assume that (4.1.19) holds. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , then there exists a unique global solution (u(t),v(t),θ (t)) ∈ C([0,+∞); H+4 ) to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 with S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)).

Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , there are constants C4 > 0 and γ4 = γ4 (C C4 ) > 0 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ], there holds that for any t > 0, u(t) − u ¯ 2H 4 + u t (t)2H 3 + u t t (t)2H 1 + u x x (t)2W 1,∞ + v(t)2H 4 + vt (t)2H 2 + vt t (t)2 + vx x (t)2W 1,∞ + θ (t) − θ¯ 2H 4 0

Corollary 4.2.1. Suppose that (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) is a solution obtained in Theorem 4.2.1 and satisﬁes the corresponding compatibility conditions. Then (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) is the classical solution verifying that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ], (u(t) − u, ¯ v(t), θ (t) − θ¯ )2C 3+1/2 ×C 3+1/2 ×C 3+1/2 ≤ C4 e−γ t , ∀t > 0.

4.2.2 Global Existence in H 4 In this subsection we prove the global existence of solutions in H+4 , while the existence of global solutions and the nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+i (i = 1, 2) have been established in Sections 4.1.1–4.1.2. The next several lemmas concern the estimates in H+4 . Lemma 4.2.1. For any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , there holds that for any t > 0, vt x (x, 0) + θt x (x, 0) ≤ C3 , vt t (x, 0) + θt t (x, 0) + vt x x (x, 0) + θt x x (x, 0) ≤ C4 , t t vt t x 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C4 + C4 (θt x x 2 + vt x x 2 )(τ )dτ, vt t (t)2 + 0 0 t t θt t x 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C4 () + C2 −1 θt x x 2 (τ )dτ θt t (t)2 + 0 0 t +C1 vt t x 2 (τ )dτ + C1 sup vt x (τ )2 0≤τ ≤t

(4.2.11)

with ∈ (0, 1) small enough. Proof. By Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and (4.1.14), we easily infer that vt (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) H 1 + u x (t) + θθx (t)).

(4.2.12)

Differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to x and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, we have

vt x (t) ≤ C2 (r n−1 v)x x (t) + θθx (t) + u x (t) + (r n−1 v)x x x (t) +θθx x (t) + u x x (t)

≤ C2 vx (t) + vx x x (t) + θθx (t) H 1 + u x (t) H 1 (4.2.13) or

vx x x (t) ≤ C2 vx (t) + u x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 + vt x (t) .

(4.2.14)

Differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to x twice, using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and a proper embedding theorem, we conclude

vt x x (t) ≤ C2 u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 + θθx (t) H 2 (4.2.15) or

vx x x x (t) ≤ C2 u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 2 + vt x x (t) .

(4.2.16)

Similarly, it follows from (4.1.15) that θt (t) ≤ C2 (θθx (t) H 1 + vx (t) + u x (t)),

θt x (t) ≤ C2 θθx (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 1 + u x x (t)

(4.2.19) (4.2.20)

(4.2.21)

By virtue of the boundary conditions (4.1.17) or (4.1.18) and the Poincar´e´ inequality, we get vt (t) ≤ C1 vt x (t) ≤ C1 vt x x (t). (4.2.22) A simple calculation with Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and (4.2.22) yields (r n−1 v)x x (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) + vx x (t)) ≤ C2 vx x (t), u t t (t) ≤ C2 (vx (t) + vt x (t)), u t t x (t) ≤ C2 (u x (t) + vx x (t) + vt x x (t)).

(4.2.23) (4.2.24) (4.2.25)

Differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to t and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, Poincar´e´ ’s inequality, (4.2.15) and (4.2.22)–(4.2.25), we easily deduce that

vt t (t) ≤ C2 θθx (t) + u x (t) + vx x (t) + vt x x (t) + θθxt (t) + θt (t) (4.2.26) which together with (4.2.15), (4.2.17) and (4.2.18) gives vt t (t) ≤ C2 (θθx (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 + u x (t) H 2 ).

(4.2.27)

In the same manner, we have

θt t (t) ≤ C2 θt (t) + θθx (t) + θt x (t) + θθx x (t) + θt x x (t) + vx (t) + vxt (t)

(4.2.28)

θt t (t) ≤ C2 (θθx (t) H 3 + vx (t) H 2 + u x (t) H 2 ).

(4.2.29)

and Thus estimates (4.2.8)–(4.2.9) follow from (4.2.13), (4.2.15), (4.2.18), (4.2.20), (4.2.27) and (4.2.29). Differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to t twice, multiplying the resulting equation by vt t in L 2 (0, L), performing an integration by parts and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and Poincar´e´ ’s inequality, we obtain that for any δ > 0,

d vt t (t)2 ≤ −(C1−1 − δ)vt t x (t)2 + C2 (δ) θθ x (t)2 + vx x (t)2 + u x (t)2 dt (4.2.30) +vt (t)2 + vxt (t)2 + vt t (t)2 + θt (t)2 + θt t (t)2 .

Chapter 4. A Polytropic Ideal Gas in Bounded Annular Domains in Rn

204

Choosing δ > 0 small enough in (4.2.30), using (4.2.27), (4.2.29) and Theorems 4.1.1– 4.1.2, and integrating with respect to t, we obtain estimate (4.2.10). Similarly, differentiating (4.1.15) with respect to t twice, multiplying the resulting equation by θt t in L 2 (0, L), integrating by parts and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, Poincar´e´ ’s inequality and a proper embedding theorem, we deduce that for any ∈ (0, 1), d θt t (t)2 ≤ −(C1−1 − )θt t x (t)2 + vt t x (t)2 dt

Thus choosing ∈ (0, 1) small enough in (4.2.31) and using (4.2.29) and Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, we can derive t θt t (t)2 + θt t x 2 (τ )dτ 0 t t vt t x 2 (τ )dτ + C4 () + C2 −1 θt t 2 (τ )dτ ≤ C1 0

Thus in view of (4.2.35)–(4.2.37) and Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, we conclude

Now we need to estimate vt x x x in (4.2.42) in term of vt t x . This observation is based on the fact that equations (4.1.14)–(4.1.15) are parabolic equations of second order for v and θ . In fact, differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to t and x, we can write n−1 v) − Rθ βr n−1 (r n−1 v)t x x x β(r x vt t x = r n−1 + D(t) (4.2.43) = u u x

D ≤ C2 vx x (t) H 1 + θθx (t) H 1 + u x (t) H 1 + θt x (t) + θt (t) + θt x x (t) + vt x x (t) .

(4.2.44)

But a simple calculation with (4.2.43)–(4.2.44) yields vt x x x (t) ≤ C1 (r n−1 v)t x x x (t) + C2 (vx x (t) + vt x x (t) + vx x x (t))

Thus inserting (4.2.45) into (4.2.42), using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and taking ∈ (0, 1) small enough, we can derive the desired estimate (4.2.32). Analogously, using (4.1.15) and the estimate

Appealing to a proper embedding theorem, Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, (4.2.52) and (4.2.57)– (4.2.63), we can deduce that E x x (t) ≤ C4 (θθx (t) H 3 + u x (t) H 2 + vx (t) H 3 ) implying, by the expression of E 1 ,

E 1x (t) ≤ C4 vx (t) H 3 + u x (t) H 2 + vt x (t) H 2 + θθx (t) H 3

(4.2.66)

On the other hand, we can infer from (4.2.45), (4.2.46), (4.2.48) and Theorems 4.1.1– 4.1.2 that t (vt x x x 2 + θt x x x 2 )(τ )dτ ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0. (4.2.67) 0

Thus by virtue of (4.2.57), (4.2.61)–(4.2.62) and (4.2.66)–(4.2.67) and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, we get t

Differentiating (4.1.14) with respect to x three times, using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and Poincar´e´ ’s inequality, we infer that vx x x x x (t) ≤ C1 vt x x x (t) + C2 (u x (t) H 3 + vx (t) H 3 + θθx (t) H 3 ).

(4.2.72)

Thus we conclude from (4.1.13), (4.2.61)–(4.2.62), (4.2.67), (4.2.70)–(4.2.72) and Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 that t (vx x x x x 2 + u t x x x 2H 1 )(τ )dτ ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0. (4.2.73) 0

Thus estimates (4.2.78)–(4.2.82), Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and Lemma 4.2.4 imply (4.2.76)–(4.2.77). The proof is complete. By Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, we can derive the global existence of solutions to (4.1.13)– (4.1.17) in H+4 with arbitrary initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 and the uniqueness of a solution in H+4 follows from that of a solution in H+1 or H+2 .

The global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+4 to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+4 (also denoted by S(t) by the uniqueness of solution in H+1 and H+2 ) such that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , we have S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) H 4 ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0,

Proof. The estimate (4.2.83) can be obtained from Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5. By Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5 and (4.2.83), we know that for any t > 0, the operator S(t) : (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 −→ (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+4 exists, where (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) is the unique solution to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) with the initial datum (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 , and by the uniqueness of a global solution in H+4 , it satisﬁes on H+4 that for any t1 , t2 ∈ [0, +∞), S(t1 + t2 ) = S(t1 )S(tt2 ) = S(tt2 )S(t1 ).

(4.2.85)

Moreover, by Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, S(t) is uniformly bounded on H+4 with respect to t > 0, i.e., S(t)L(H (4.2.86) H 4 ,H H 4 ) ≤ C4 , ∀t > 0. +

We here ﬁrst verify the continuity of S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+4 for any t > 0. To this end, we assume that (u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ) ∈ H+4 , ( j = 1, 2), (u j , v j , θ j ) = S(t)(u 0 j , v0 j , θ0 j ), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 )−(u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). Subtracting the corresponding equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), we obtain u t = (r1n−1 v)x + [(r1n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 ]x , (4.2.87) n−1

d(x, t) = 1/(r12 + r1r2 + r22 ) for n = 3, k = n − 2 = 1.

By (4.2.94)–(4.2.95) and Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, we derive that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, L] × [0, +∞), |d(x, t)| + |d d x (x, t)| ≤ C1 , |d dx x (x, t)| + |d dt (x, t)| + |ddt x (x, t)| ≤ C2 , dx x x x (x, t)| + d dx x x x x (t) ≤ C4 , |d d x x x (x, t)| + |d

(4.2.107)

Multiplying (4.2.87), (4.2.88) and (4.2.89) by u, v and θ respectively in L 2 (0, L), adding up the resulting equations, recalling vx ≤ C1 (r1n−1 v)x and using (4.2.96)–(4.2.107), we deduce that for any small δ > 0, d

By Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, a proper embedding theorem, (4.2.88) and (4.2.99)–(4.2.107), we infer (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2

Using (4.2.87) and noting that u j ( j = 1, 2) and v j ( j = 1, 2) satisfying (4.1.13), we have (r1n−1 v)x u 1x (r2n−1 v2 )x − u 2x (r1n−1 v1 )x ((r1n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 )x ux = + − . 2 u1 u1 t u1 u 1 x x (4.2.110) Inserting (4.2.110) into (4.2.88), we obtain

Multiplying (4.2.111) by in L 2 (0, L), and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, (4.2.96)– (4.2.107) and (4.2.109), we conclude L d θ2 u 2x u x 2 β (t) + R dx 2 dt u 1 0 u1u2 ≤ C1 vt (t)2 + C2 ((r1n−1 v)x (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ) whence d u x 2 (t) + C1−1 u x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt (t)2 + C2 (v(t)2H 1 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ). dt u 1 (4.2.112) Multiplying (11.2.89) by vt in L 2 (0, L), and using Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, (4.2.96)– (4.2.107) and the identity (r1n−1 vt )x = (r1n−1 v)t x − (n − 1)(r1n−2 v1 v)x , we get n−1 d (r1 v)x 2 (t) + C1−1 vt (t)2 ≤ C2 (v(t)2H 1 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ).

Similarly, multiplying (4.2.89) by θt in L 2 (0, L), we have n−1 d r1 θx 2 (t) + C1−1 θt (t)2 ≤ C2 (v(t)2H 1 + u(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 ). (4.2.114) √ dt u1

Multiplying (4.2.113) by a large number N1 , then adding up the result, (4.2.108), (4.2.112) and (4.2.114), we conclude d G 1 (t) ≤ C2 G 1 (t) dt

Differentiating (4.2.88) with respect to x, we get that vt x =

(4.2.118)

By a proper embedding theorem, we infer from (4.2.117)–(4.2.118) that (r1n−1 v)x x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C2 (u x x (t)2 + (r1n−1 v)x x (t)2L ∞ + R(t)2 )

implying vx x x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C4 (v(t)2H 2 + u(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 ).

Multiplying (4.2.120) by uux1x in L 2 (0, L), using Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, and (4.2.96)– (4.2.107), we conclude that d u x x 2 (t) + C1−1 u x x (t)2 (4.2.121) dt u 1 ≤ C1 vt x (t)2 + C4 u(t)2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 + θ (t)2H 2 + vt (t)2 .

Similarly, differentiating (4.2.88) and (4.2.89) with respect to t, multiplying the resulting equations by vt and θt in L 2 (0, L) respectively, using Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, and (4.2.96)– (4.2.107), we deduce

d vt (t)2 + C1−1 vt x (t)2 ≤ C4 vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 + u(t)2H 1 + v(t)2H 1 dt (4.2.122) +θ (t)2H 1 ,

Now multiplying (4.2.122) by a large number N2 > 0, then adding up the result, (4.2.121) and (4.2.123), we get d G 2 (t) ≤ C4 (G 1 (t) + G 2 (t)) (4.2.124) dt where G 2 (t) = uux1x (t)2 + N2 vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 .

In view of (4.2.96)–(4.2.107) and (4.2.118), we get R1x (t)2 ≤ C1 vt x x (t)2 + C4 (u(t)2H 3 + θ (t)2H 3 + v(t)2H 3 ).

(4.2.126)

Thus

R2 (t)2 ≤ C1 R1x (t)2 + C4 u x x (t)2 + v(t)2H 3 + (r1n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 (t)2H 3

≤ C1 vt x x (t)2 + C4 u(t)2H 3 + v(t)2H 3 + θ (t)2H 3 + vt x (t)2 (4.2.127)

and

R2x (t)2 ≤ C4 R1x x (t)2 + u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + (r1n−1 − r2n−1 )v2 (t)2H 4 ≤ C4 (vt x x (t)2 + vt x x x (t)2 ) + C4 (1 + r2n−1 v2 (t)2H 5 ) × (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ).

Multiplying (4.2.125) by

(4.2.128)

in L 2 (0, L) and using Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, we have

(4.2.131)

Now we hope that vt x x x (t) in (4.2.131) can be expressed by vt t x (t). To this end, we differentiate (4.2.88) with respect to t and x, and use the embedding theorem, (4.2.96)– (4.2.107) and Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5 to get (r1n−1 v)t x x x (t) ≤ C4 (vt t x (t) + vt x x (t)) + C4 (1 + (r1n−1 v2 )t (t) H 3 ) ×(u(t) H 2 + v(t) H 3 + θ (t) H 2 + θt (t)) which, with the expression of (r1n−1 v)t x x x , yields vt x x x (t) ≤ C4 (vt t x (t) + vt x x (t)) + C4 (1 + (r1n−1 v2 )t (t) H 3 )

× u(t) H 2 + v(t) H 2 + θ (t) H 2 + θt (t) + vt x (t) . (4.2.132) Thus, by (4.2.131), R3 (t)2 ≤ C4 (vt t x (t)2 + vt x x (t)2 ) + C4 (1 + v2 (t)2H 5 + v2t (t)2H 3 )

× u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 + θt (t)2 + vt x (t)2 . (4.2.133) Similarly to (4.2.129), we get u d u x x x x 2 x x x x 2 (t) + C1−1 (t) ≤ C1 R3 (t)2 . dt u1 u1

(4.2.134)

By (4.2.89) and (4.2.96)–(4.2.107), we conclude θt (t) ≤ C4 (θ (t) H 2 + u(t) H 1 + v(t) H 1 ),

(4.2.135)

or θθx x (t) ≤ C4 (θt (t) + θ (t) H 1 + u(t) H 1 + v(t) H 1 ),

Similarly, from (4.2.88), vt (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 1 + v(t) H 2 + θ (t) H 1 , (4.2.142) (4.2.143) vx x (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 1 + v(t) H 1 + vt (t) + θ (t) H 1 , (4.2.144) vt x (t) ≤ C4 (θ (t) H 2 + u(t) H 2 + v(t) H 3 ), vx x x (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 2 + v(t) H 1 + θ (t) H 1 + vt (t) (4.2.145) +θt (t) + vt x (t) , vx x x x (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 3 + v(t) H 1 + θ (t) H 1 + vt (t) + vt x (t) (4.2.146) +vt t (t) + θt (t) + θt x (t) , (4.2.147) vt t (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 3 + v(t) H 4 + θ (t) H 3 , (4.2.148) vt x x (t) ≤ C4 u(t) H 3 + v(t) H 4 + θ (t) H 3 . Differentiating (4.2.88) with respect to t twice, multiplying the resulting equation by vt t and using (4.2.96)–(4.2.107), (4.2.135)–(4.2.148) and Lemmas 4.2.4–4.2.5, we deduce that for any δ > 0, d vt t (t)2 + C1−1 vt t x (t)2 dt

Similarly to (4.2.149), we can deduce from (4.2.88)–(4.2.89) that for any δ > 0, d θt t (t)2 + C1−1 θt t x (t)2 dt ≤ δ(vt t x (t)2 + θt t x (t)2 ) + C4 (δ)(1 + v1t t x (t)2 + v2t t x (t)2

Then multiplying (4.2.129) and (4.2.134) by δ respectively, adding up the resulting equations, (4.2.148) and (4.2.149)–(4.2.151), and using (4.2.127), (4.2.133), and taking δ > 0 small enough, we get

Let G(t) = G 1 (t) + G 2 (t) + G 3 (t). Then we easily infer from (4.2.136), (4.2.137)–(4.2.139), (4.2.143) and (4.2.145), (4.2.146) that

M(t) ≤ C4 u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 +vt x (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + vt t (t)2 + θt t (t)2 ≤ C4 G(t).

(4.2.156)

On the other hand, we can ﬁnd from the deﬁnition of G(t) that

G(t) ≤ C4 u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 1 + θ (t)2H 1 + vt (t)2 + θt (t)2 +vt x (t)2 + θt x (t)2 + vt t (t)2 + θt t (t)2 ≤ C4 M(t) which combined with (4.2.155)–(4.2.156) gives C4−1 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ) ≤ G(t) ≤ C4 (u(t)2H 4 + v(t)2H 4 + θ (t)2H 4 ).

(4.2.157)

Now we add up (4.2.105), (4.2.124) and (4.2.153) to arrive at d G(t) ≤ C4 H3(t)G(t) dt implying, with (4.2.157), ∀t > 0, u(t)2H 4

≤ C4 exp(C C4 t)(u 10 , v10 , θ10 ) − (u 20 , v20 , θ20 ) H 4

which implies the continuity of semigroup S(t) with respect to the initial data in H+4 (and also the uniqueness of global solutions in H+4 ). In order to prove (4.2.84), by (4.2.85)–(4.2.86), it sufﬁces to show that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+4 ,

as t → 0+ , which also yields S(0) = I

(4.2.159)

with I being the unit operator (i.e., identity operator) on H+4 . To show (4.2.159), we m m 6 choose a function sequence which is smooth enough, for example, (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H × 6 6 H × H such that m m (u m (4.2.160) 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0 +

as m → +∞. By the local regularity result, we conclude that there is a small t0 > 0 such that there exists a unique smooth solution (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) ∈ H 6 × H 6 × H 6 (∀t ∈ (0, t0 )). This implies that for m = 1, 2, . . . , m m (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0

(4.2.161)

as t → 0+ . By the continuity of the operator S(t), we conclude that for any t ∈ (0, t0 ), (u m (t), v m (t), θ m (t)) − (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) H 4

m m = S(t)(u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4

m m ≤ C4 (t0 )(u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0 +

as m → +∞, which along with (4.2.160)–(4.2.161) leads to S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 +

m m +(u m 0 , v0 , θ0 ) − (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 4 −→ 0 +

as m → +∞ and t → 0+ , which gives (4.2.158) and (4.2.159). The proof is now complete.

In the same manner as the derivation of (4.2.58)–(4.2.63), and using (4.2.168), (4.2.171) and Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, we infer that

4.3 Universal Attractors In this section we are concerned with the inﬁnite-dimensional dynamics of problems (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) for the Navier-Stokes equations for a polytropic viscous and heat-conductive ideal gas. Throughout this section we always assume that (4.1.19) holds. Thus, our ﬁrst task now is to study the initial boundary value problem (4.1.9)–(4.1.14) where L is ﬁxed. The aim of this section is to use the abstract framework established in Theorem 1.6.4 and the ideas in [450] to establish the existence of (maximal) universal attractors for this problem. Now let us ﬁrst explain some mathematical difﬁculties in studying the dynamics of this problem. Firstly, from physical reasons, the special volume u and the absolute temperature θ should be positive for all time. These constraints give rise to some severe mathematical difﬁculties. For instance, we must work on incomplete metric spaces H+1 and H+2 , H+2 ⊂ H+1 which are usual Sobolev spaces with these constraints. Although in the literature, e.g., [151, 152] and the references cited there, some results on global existence of weak 1 solutions were established under the conditions that ρ0 ≥ 0, ρ0 ∈ L ∞ and ∈ L 1 , this ρ0 space is still incomplete and this framework of spaces seems too weak for the study of dynamics of compressible viscous and heat-conductive ﬂuid. Secondly, the nonlinear semigroup S(t) deﬁned by problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17), where L is ﬁxed, maps each H+1 and H+2 into itself, as proved in Sections 4.1–4.2. It is clear from equations (4.1.14) and (4.1.15) that we cannot continuously extend the semigroup S(t) to the closure of H+1 and H+2 .

Chapter 4. A Polytropic Ideal Gas in Bounded Annular Domains in Rn

228

Notice the following signiﬁcant differences between the study of global existence and the study of existence of a (maximal) universal attractor: for the study of global existence, the initial datum is given while for the study of existence of a (maximal) universal attractor in certain metric space, the initial data are varying in that space. Since the (maximal) universal attractor is just the ω − li mi t set of an absorbing set in weak topology, the requirement on completeness of spaces is needed. To overcome this severe mathematical difﬁculty, we restrict ourselves to a sequence of closed subspaces of H+1 and H+2 (see the deﬁnition below). It turns out that it is crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of this closed subspace will reenter this subspace and stay there after a ﬁnite time, which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from a bounded set; otherwise, there is no ground to talk about the existence of an absorbing set and a maximal universal attractor in this subspace. The proof of this fact becomes an essential part of this section and it will be done by delicate a priori estimates, using the spirit of paper [451] for the case of n = 1 (see also Chapter 2). Thirdly, two quantities, i.e., the total mass and energy are conserved. Indeed, if we integrate the equation (4.1.13) with respect to x and t and exploit the boundary conditions (4.1.17), we will end up with

L

Next, if we multiply (4.1.14) by v, integrate the resultant and also integrate the equation (4.1.15) with respect to x and t, then add together, we ﬁnally get L

(4.3.2)

These two conservations indicate that there can be no absorbing set for initial data varying in the whole space. Instead, we should rather consider the dynamics in a sequence of closed subspaces deﬁned by some parameters. In this regard, the situation is quite similar to those encountered for a single Cahn-Hilliard equation in the isothermal case (see, e.g., [407]), and for the coupled Cahn-Hilliard equations (see, e.g., [375]) and for a one-dimensional polytropic viscous ideal gas (see, e.g., [451]). Therefore, one of the key issues in the present section is how to choose these closed subspaces. Fourthly, (4.1.13)–(4.1.15) is a hyperbolic-parabolic coupled system. It turns out that in general the orbit is not compact. In order to prove the existence of a maximal attractor by the theory presented by Temam in [407], one has either to show uniform compactness of the orbit of semigroup S(t) for large time or to show that one can decompose S(t) into two parts, S1 (t) and S2 (t), with S1 being uniformly compact for large time and S2 going to zero uniformly. Since equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.15) represent a hyperbolicparabolic coupled system, the orbit is not compact. Moreover, since our system is quasilinear, the usual way of decomposition of S(t) into two parts for a semilinear system (see, e.g., [136]) does not seem feasible. To overcome this difﬁculty, we will adopt an approach motivated by an idea in [117] and [451] (see also, Theorem 1.6.4).

4.3. Universal Attractors

229

Finally, unlike the one-dimensional case, equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.15) look more complicated than the one-dimensional counterpart and they explicitly involve r , which, in turn, should satisfy (4.1.18). In other words, we are essentially considering a system of four equations with four dependent variables u, v, θ and r . It turns out that much more delicate estimates are needed. Let δi (i = 1, . . . , 5) be any given constants such that δ1 ∈ R, δ2 > 0, 0 < δ5 < eδ1 /L R δ2 , δ4 ≥ max 2(2δ /C , δ > 0 be arbitrarily given constants, and let L)CV /R 3 V

Clearly, Hδ(i) is a sequence of closed subspaces of H+i (i = 1, 2, 4). We will see later on that the ﬁrst three constraints are invariant. However, the last two constraints are not invariant. These two constraints are just introduced to overcome the difﬁculty that the original spaces H+i are incomplete. As mentioned before, it is crucial to prove that the (i) (i) orbit starting from any bounded set of Hδ will re-enter Hδ after a ﬁnite time. We use Ci , (i = 1, 2) to denote the universal constant depending only on the H+i norm of initial data, min u 0 (x) and min θ0 (x). Cδ denotes the universal conx∈[0,L]

Now our main theorems read as follows. Theorem 4.3.1. The nonlinear semigroup S(t) deﬁned by the solution to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) maps H+i (i = 1, 2) into itself. Moreover, for any δi (i = 1, . . . , 5) eδ1 /L R C /R , δ3 ] /C V L) V 2

Clearly, H L ,δ is a sequence of closed subspaces of H L ,G . Now we have Theorem 4.3.2. The nonlinear semigroup S(t) deﬁned by the solution to problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) maps H L(i),G (i = 1, 2) into itself. Moreover, for any δi (i = 1, . . . , 5) with δ1 < 0, δ2 > 0, δ4 ≥ max[ (i) H L ,δ

4.3.1 Nonlinear Semigroups on H 2 As mentioned in the previous section, for any initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+i (i = 1, 2), the results on global existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of solutions to problem (4.1.13)–(4.1.17) have been established in Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2, respectively. It has been proved in Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 that the operators S(t) deﬁned by the solutions are C0 -semigroups on H+i , (i = 1, 2).

231

Now we go back to problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) in the Eulerian coordinates, and we have (i)

Lemma 4.3.1. For any (ρ0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H L ,G (i = 1, 2) there exists a unique global (i) S(t) solution (ρ, v, θ ) ∈ C([0, +∞), H ) which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup L ,G

(i)

on H L ,G . (i)

Proof. For any given initial data (ρ0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H L ,G , (i = 1, 2) it is clear from the relationship (4.1.6), (4.1.7), (4.1.9) between the Eulerian coordinates and the Lagrangian coordinates that ( u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = ( ρ10 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+i . By Lemmas 4.1.1–4.1.2, there is a unique global solution ( u (ξ, t), v (ξ, t), θ (ξ, t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+i ) which deﬁnes a C0 i semigroup S(t) on H+ . It easily follows from Lemma 4.1.2 and the relationship between the Lagrangian coordinates and the Eulerian coordinates (4.1.7), (4.1.8) that problem (4.1.1)–(4.1.5) admits a unique global solution (i)

(ρ(r, t), v(r, t), θ (r, t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H L ,G ) (i)

which deﬁnes a C0 -semigroup on H L ,G . (1)

4.3.2 Existence of an Absorbing Set in Hδ

(1)

In this subsection we will show the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ . Throughout this subsection we always assume that the initial data belong to a bounded set of Hδ(1). First, (1) (1) we have to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set in Hδ will re-enter Hδ after a ﬁnite time, which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from that bounded set. Lemma 4.3.2. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ(1), then the following estimates hold:

Proof. (4.3.8) is the direct result of (4.3.4). It follows from (4.3.4) that (4.3.8) and θ (t) L 1 ≤ Cδ hold. We can also deduce from (4.3.5) and a ≤ r ≤ b in (4.1.22) that L log θ d x ≤ Cδ − 0

holds. Applying the Jensen inequality to the convex function − log y yields (4.3.9). Combining (4.3.5) with (4.3.9), (4.3.3) and (4.1.19) yields (4.3.7). To estimate u, we need the following expression of u which is similar to that in the case n = 1 (see, Lemmas 2.1.3–2.1.4). Lemma 4.3.4. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ(1), then 0 < Cδ−1 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ Cδ , 0 < Cδ−1 ≤ r x (x, t) ≤ Cδ ,

Proof. The proof is similar to that of (4.1.42), the difference here is that we shall note the dependence of constants on the parameters δi (i = 1, 2, . . . , 7). Because B(x, t) depends on the variables x and t for the case of n = 2 or 3, the situation now is more complicated than that for the case of n = 1. To this end, we let B(x, t) = Z 1 (t)Z 2 (x, t) where t 1 2 v 1 1 Z 1 (t) = exp ( + Rθ )(x, s)d x ds β u∗ 0 0 n (n − 1)a n t 1 −n 2 + r (x, s)v (x, s)d x ds , nu ∗ 0 0

Hence, similarly to that in Lemma 2.1.3, we can show that u(x, t) ≤ Cδ ,

(4.3.18)

By Lemma 4.1.8 and (4.3.14), we have u(x, t) ≥ D(x, t)/B(x, t) ≥ Cδ−1 e−Cδ t , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, L] × [0, +∞).

(4.3.19)

Then by the asymptotic behavior (4.1.24) in Theorem 4.1.1, (4.3.19) and a similar contradiction argument as in Theorem 4.1.1, we can prove that u(x, t) ≥ Cδ−1 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, L] × [0, +∞),

(4.3.20)

which, combined with (4.3.19), (4.1.18) and (4.1.22), gives the estimates (4.3.10). Thus the proof is complete.

By the asymptotic behavior in (4.1.24) and the same contradiction argument as the proof of (2.5.16) in Lemma 2.5.3, we deduce that the estimate (4.3.22) holds. The proof is complete. (1)

Lemma 4.3.6. For initial data belonging to a bounded set of Hδ there is t0 > 0 depending only on boundedness of this set such that for all t ≥ t0 , x ∈ [0, L], 2δ2 δ5 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ , 2LC V LC V

Proof. The proof is the same as in Lemma 2.5.5 for the case n = 1. So we can omit the detail here. Remark 4.3.2. It follows from Lemma 4.3.1 and Lemma 4.3.6 that for initial data be(1) (1) longing to a given bounded set of Hδ , the orbit will re-enter Hδ after a ﬁnite time. In what follows we prove that there is an absorbing set in Hδ(1). Since we assume that the initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) belong to an arbitrarily bounded set of Hδ(1), there is a positive constant B such that (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 ≤ B. We use Cδ,B or , C to denote universal positive constants depending on B and δ , (i = 1, . . . , 5). Cδ,B i δ,B Then, similarly to the proof of Lemma 4.1.3, we have the following lemma. Lemma 4.3.7.

Thus, the combination of Lemmas 4.3.2–4.3.8 yields the following result on exis(1) tence of an absorbing ball in Hδ . Theorem 4.3.3. Let R1 = R1 (δ) =

4(δ22 + C V2 δ42 ) C V2 L 2

and B1 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ Hδ(1), (u, v, θ )(1) H ≤ R1 . (1)

Then B1 is an absorbing ball in Hδ , i.e., there exists some t1 = t1 (Cδ,B ) ≥ t0 such that when t ≥ t1 , (u(t), v(t), θ (t))2H (1) ≤ R12 . (2)

4.3.3 Existence of an Absorbing Set in Hδ

In this subsection we are going to prove the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ(2). Throughout this section we always assume that the initial data belong to a bounded set in Hδ(2), i.e., (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 2 ≤ B with B being any given positive constant. We ﬁrst obtain +

the uniform estimates on H 2 norms of v and θ . Lemma 4.3.9. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (Cδ,B ) ≤ γ1 (Cδ,B ) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], and for all t > 0, 2δ22

Proof. First, a straightforward calculation shows

Using the Poincar´e´ inequality and (4.1.18), (4.1.19) and (4.1.22), (4.3.10), we can easily derive the estimates vt ≤ Cvt x ≤ Cδ,B ((r n−1 v)x + (r n−1 v)t x ) ≤ Cδ,B (vx + (r n−1 v)t x ).

(4.3.34)

Differentiating equation (4.1.14) with respect to t, then multiplying the resulting equation by vt eγ t and integrating the resultant over [0, L] × [0, t], by Theorems 4.1.1–4.1.2 and Young’s inequality and (4.3.33)–(4.3.34), we can easily get t 1 γt 1 e vt (t)2 + eγ τ (r n−1 v)xt 2 (τ )dτ 2 Cδ 0 t t ≤ Cδ,B + γ /2 eγ τ vt 2 (τ )dτ + Cδ,B eγ τ (vx 2 + θt 2 + vx x 2 )dτ 0 0 t γτ n−1 2 e (r v)xt (τ )dτ ≤ Cδ,B + Cδ,B γ 0 t + Cδ,B (γ ) eγ τ (θt 2 + vx 2 + vx x 2 )(τ )dτ 0

which implies, by Lemma 4.3.8, (4.1.14) and (4.3.33)–(4.3.34), that there exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (Cδ,B ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 ], eγ t (vt (t)2 + vx x (t)2 ) +

(4.3.36)

The next lemma concerns the uniform estimate of u(t) on H 2. Lemma 4.3.10. There exists a positive constant γ3 = γ3 (Cδ,B ) ≤ γ2 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ3 ] and for all t > 0, there holds that u(t) − u ¯ 2H 2 ≤ Cδ,B e−γ t .

(4.3.37)

Multiplying (4.3.39) by et /2Cδ and choosing γ so small that γ ≤ γ3 ≡ min(γ γ2 , 1/4Cδ ) and exploiting Lemmas 4.3.4–4.3.9, we obtain u (t) 2 u (0) 2 xx x x −t /2Cδ + Cδ,B e−γ t ≤ Cδ,B e−γ t ≤ e u(t) u(0) which, together with Lemmas 4.3.2–4.3.9, gives the estimate (4.3.37).

and

2(2δ22 + C V2 δ42 ) , γ3−1 ln t3 = t3 (Cδ,B ) ≥ max t2 (Cδ,B ), −γ C V2 L 2 then we immediately infer the following theorem from Lemma 4.3.10 and Corollary 4.3.2. (2)

Having proved the existence of absorbing balls in Hδ(2) and Hδ(1), we can exactly follow the abstract framework established in Theorem 1.6.4 to conclude that Lemma 4.3.11. The set ω(B2 ) =

S(t)B2

(4.3.40)

s≥0t ≥s

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H (2), is included in B2 and nonempty. It is invariant by S(t), i.e., S(t)ω(B2 ) = ω(B2 ),

∀t > 0.

(4.3.41)

(2)

Remark 4.3.3. If we take B a bounded set in Hδ , we can also deﬁne ω(B) by (4.3.40) and when B is nonempty, ω(B) is also included in B2 , nonempty and invariant. Since B2 is an absorbing ball, it is clear that ω(B) ⊆ ω(B2 ). This shows that ω(B2 ) is maximal in the sense of inclusion. Lemma 4.3.12. The set satisﬁes

A2,δ = ω(B2 )

(4.3.42)

A2,δ is bounded and weakly closed in Hδ(2),

Moreover, it is the maximal set in the sense of inclusion that satisﬁes (4.3.43), (4.3.44) and (4.3.45).

4.3. Universal Attractors

239

Proof. See, Theorem 2.5.3.

Following [117], we also call A2,δ the universal attractor of S(t) in Hδ(2). In order to discuss the existence of a universal attractor in Hδ(1), we need to prove the following lemma. Lemma 4.3.13. For every t ≥ 0, the mapping S(t) is continuous on bounded sets of Hδ(1) for the topology induced by the norm in L 2 × L 2 × L 2 . ¯ (i = 1, 2), Proof. Let (u 0i , v0i , θ0i ) ∈ Hδ(1), (i = 1, 2), (u 0i , v0i , θ0i ) H 1 ≤ R, (u i , vi , θi ) = S(t)(u 0i , v0i , θ0i ), and (u, v, θ ) = (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) − (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ). Subtracting the corresponding equations (4.1.13)–(4.1.15) satisﬁed by (u 1 , v1 , θ1 ) and (u 2 , v2 , θ2 ), then multiplying the resulting equations by u, v, θ , respectively, adding together and integrating over [0, L], we get L β(r1n−1 v)2x + κr12n−2 θx2 1 d (u2 + v2 + C V θ 2 ) + dx 2 dt u1 0 L β(r1n−1 v2 )x − Rθ2 = + 1 u(r1n−1 v)x u u 1 2 0 R + β(r1n−1 v1 )x + β(r2n−1 v2 )x − Rθ2 n−1 + (r1 v)x θ d x u1

Applying the mean value theorem to the function g(z) = z k/n over [r1n , r2n ] ⊆ [a n , bn ] with k > 0 being an arbitrarily given constant, by (4.3.50) and Theorem 4.1.1, we get |r1k (x, t) − r2k (x, t)| ≤ |g (z 0 )||r1n (x, t) − r2n (x, t)| ≤ Cδ u(t) L 1

(4.3.51)

where z 0 is a point between r1n and r2n (therefore, z 0 ∈ [a n , bn ]), and by Theorem 4.1.1, |g (z 0 )| ≤ Cδ . Similarly, applying the mean value theorem to the function h(z) = z n/ k over k k [r1 , r2 ] ⊆ [a k , bk ], we can deduce from Theorem 4.1.1 and (4.3.50)–(4.3.51) that nu(x, t) = [h(r1k ) − h(r2k )]x = h (z 1 )(r1k (x, t) − r2k (x, t))r2k (x, t)x + h (r1k )(r1k − r2k )x where z 1 is a point between r1k and r2k , hence, z 1 ∈ [a k , bk ]. By Theorem 4.1.1 and Lemma 4.3.4, 0 < Cδ−1 ≤ |h (z 1 )| ≤ Cδ , |[h (r1 )]x | ≤ Cδ . Therefore, nu(x, t) − h (z )(r k (x, t) − r k (x, t))r k (x, t) 1 x k k 1 2 2 |(r1 − r2 )x | = h (z 1 ) ≤ Cδ (|u(x, t)| + u(t) L 1 ).

(4.3.52)

Applying Young’s inequality and the imbedding theorem, we infer from (4.3.46)–(4.3.52) that d (u(t)2 + v(t)2 + C V θ (t)2 ) + Cδ−1 (vx (t)2 + (r1n−1 v(t))x 2 + θθx (t)2 ) dt 1 ≤ (vx (t)2 + (r1n−1 v(t))x 2 + θθx (t)2 ) 2Cδ ¯ (t)(u(t)2 + v(t)2 + θ (t)2 ) +Cδ ( R)H (4.3.53) where H (t) = (r1n−1 v2 )x 2L ∞ + (r2n−1 v2 )x 2L ∞ + (r1n−1 v1 )x 2 + v2x 2L ∞ +θ2 2L ∞ + v2 4L 4 + v1 2L ∞ + 1

(4.3.54)

t ¯ satisfying 0 H (τ )dτ ≤ Cδ ( R)(1 + t) for any t > 0. Then the assertion of this lemma follows from the Gronwall inequality and (4.3.54). The proof is complete.

4.3. Universal Attractors

241

Now we can again use Theorem 1.6.4 to obtain the following result on existence of (1) a universal attractor in Hδ . Theorem 4.3.5. The set A1,δ =

S(t)B1

(4.3.55)

s≥0 t ≥s

where the closures are taken with respect to the weak topology of H+1 , is the (maximal) (1) universal attractor in Hδ . Remark 4.3.4. Since A2,δ is bounded in H+2 , it is bounded in H+1 and by the invariance property (4.3.44), we have A2,δ ⊆ A1,δ . (4.3.56) On the contrary if we knew that A1,δ is bounded in H+2 then the opposite inclusion would hold.

(4.1.11)–(4.1.12) and Lemma 4.3.4 that the existence of absorbing balls in Hδ presented (i) in Sections 4.3.2–4.3.3 implies the existence of absorbing balls in H L ,δ . Thus the general framework of Theorem 1.6.4 (see also, Ghidaglia [117]) also yields the existence of universal attractors Ai,L ,δ , (i = 1, 2).

4.3.5 Attractor in H 4 In this subsection we establish the existence of an attractor in H+4 . We deﬁne

H+4 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 4[0, L] × H 4[0, L] × H 4[0, L] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, L], v|x=0 = v| x=L = 0, θx |x=0 = θ x |x=L = 0

which becomes a metric space when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norms. In the above, H 4 is the usual Sobolev space. Let = (u, θ ) = e − θ S = C V θ − θ (C V log θ + R log u), e = e(u, θ ) = e(u, S) = C V θ − internal energy, S = S(u, θ ) = C V log θ + R log u − entropy. The notation in this subsection is the same as that of Section 4.1.3. But we use Ci (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) to stand for the universal constant depending only on the H+i norm of

4.4. Bibliographic Comments

4.4 Bibliographic Comments As far as the associated inﬁnite-dimensional dynamics is concerned, we refer the readers to Section 2.7. Concerning compressible ﬂuid, we mention the recent papers [451, 452] by Zheng and Qin for results on the existence of maximal universal attractors for a viscous and heat-conductive polytropic ideal gas (see also, Section 10.1.3). Three recent papers [97, 150, 151], came to our attention. In [150], the authors brieﬂy described their recent investigation on the existence of a compact attractor for the one-dimensional isentropic compressible viscous ﬂow in a ﬁnite interval. They work on the incomplete metric space

X = (ρ, u) ∈ H 1 × L 2 ;

ρd x = 1, ρ > 0, ρ −1 ∈ L ∞ .

In [151], the isentropic compressible viscous ﬂow in a bounded domain in R3 is considered. Since it is based on the fundamental result on global existence of weak solution by P.L. Lions [235] and the uniqueness is not known, it is impossible to adopt the usual solution semigroup approach. As a result, the author adopted a quite different approach, i.e, he replaced the usual solution semigroup setting by simple time shifts; in other words, he worked on the space of ‘short’ trajectories, as mentioned. Therefore, the model under consideration in Section 4.3 is quite different from [97, 150, 151] in the following aspects: non-isentropic via isentropic; spherically symmetric motion via non-spherically symmetric motion; solution semigroup approach via simple time shift. For the well-posedness of the Navier-Stokes equations, we also consult Section 3.3.

Chapter 5

A Polytropic Viscous Gas with Cylinder Symmetry in R3 5.1 Main Results In this chapter we establish the exponential stability in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) of global weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with cylinder symmetry in R3 . The results of this chapter come from Qin [326], and Qin and Jiang [331]. Our attention in this chapter will be paid to the ﬂows between two circular coaxial cylinders. We assume that the corresponding solutions depend only on the radial variable r ∈ G = {r ∈ R+ , 0 < a < r < b < +∞} and the time variable t ∈ R+ = [0, +∞). The reduced system of the three-dimensional equations now takes the following form (see e.g., Landau and Lifshitz [212], Frid and Shelukhin [106]): ρu ρt + (ρu)r + = 0, r v2 u + Pr − ν u r + ρ u t + uu r − = 0, r r r uv v − μ vr + = 0, ρ vt + uvr + r r r wr = 0, ρ(wt + uwr ) − μ wrr + r θr u + P ur + −Q=0 C V ρ(θt + uθr ) − κ θrr + r r where

and ρ, P, θ are mass density, pressure and absolute temperature respectively. The velocity → vector − v = (u, v, w) is given by the radial (u), angular (v), and axial (w) velocities, respectively. For simplicity, we consider a polytropic ﬂuid P = γρθ , and the Duhem inequality, μ ≥ 0, and 3λ + 2μ ≥ 0 (ν = λ + 2μ). The parameters γ , C V , κ, λ and μ are physical constants. We consider the initial boundary value problem (5.1.1)–(5.1.5) subject to the following boundary and initial conditions → −v = − → 0 , θr = 0 at ∂ G, → − → t = 0 : (ρ, v , θ ) = (ρ0 (r ), − v 0 (r ), θ0 (r )), r ∈ G.

(5.1.6) (5.1.7)

First we ﬁnd it convenient to transfer problems (5.1.1)–(5.1.7) into Lagrangian coordinates and draw the desired results. It is known that Eulerian coordinates (r, t) are connected to the Lagrangian coordinates (ξ, t) by the relation

t r (ξ, t) = r0 (ξ ) + u (ξ, τ )dτ (5.1.8) 0

where u (ξ, t) = u(r (ξ, t), t) and r0 (ξ ) = η−1 (ξ ),

η(r ) =

r a

sρ0 (s)ds, r ∈ G.

(5.1.9)

Here we note that if inf{ f ρ0 (s) : s ∈ (a, b)} > 0, then η is invertible. It follows from equation (5.1.1) and boundary condition (5.1.6) that

r(ξ,t ) ∂ sρ(s, t)ds = 0 ∂t a which, by (5.1.9), implies

Moreover, differentiating (5.1.10) with respect to ξ yields ∂ξ r (ξ, t) = r (ξ, t)−1 ρ −1 (r (ξ, t), t).

(5.1.12)

In general, for a function φ(r, t), if we denote φ(ξ, t) = φ(r (ξ, t), t), then we easily get ∂t φ(ξ, t) = ∂t φ(r, t) + u∂r φ(r, t), ∂r φ(r, t) −1 ∂ξ ρ (r, t). φ (ξ, t) = ∂r φ(r, t)∂ξ r (ξ, t) = r

Thus, by (5.1.12)– (5.1.13), equations (5.1.1)–(5.1.7) in Eulerian coordinates can be written in Lagrangian coordinates in the new variables (x, t), x ∈ , t ≥ 0 as follows : τt = (r u)x ,

In this section, we shall establish the exponential stability of global solutions in H 1 and H 2 to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (5.1.1)–(5.1.7) or (5.1.14)–(5.1.20) with cylinder symmetry in R3 when the initial total energy is small enough. Now we study problem (5.1.14)–(5.1.20) where L > 0 is ﬁxed. We introduce two spaces 3 → H+1 = (τ, − v , θ ) ∈ H 1[0, L] × H 1[0, L] × H 1[0, L] : → − → → τ (x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, L], − v |x=0 = − v |x=L = 0 ,

In the above, H 1, H 2 are the usual Sobolev spaces. In this chapter, we put · = · L 2 and use Ci (i = 1, 2, 4) to stand for the generic constant depending only on the H+i (i = 1, 2) norm of initial data, min τ0 (x) x∈[0,L]

5.2 Global Existence and Exponential Stability in H 1 In this section we shall complete the proof of Theorem 5.1.1. To this end, we assume in this section that all assumptions in Theorem 5.1.1 hold. The global existence of solutions in H+1 to problem (5.1.14)–(5.1.20) (or (5.1.1)–(5.1.7)) has been obtained in Frid and Shelukhin [106]. Theorem 5.1.1 is only concerned with the large-time behavior of solution in H+1 . The proof of Theorem 5.1.1 can be divided into the following eight lemmas.

Proof. First, we know from (5.1.22) that r x (0, t) = r −1 (0, t)τ (0, t) = a −1 τ (0, t) > 0, ∀t ≥ 0.

(5.2.8)

If r x (x, t) > 0 is violated on [0, L] × [0, +∞), by (5.2.8), there exists a y ∈ [0, L] and tˆ ∈ [0, ∞) such that r x (x, t) > 0 for 0 ≤ x < y, 0 ≤ t ≤ tˆ, but r x (y, tˆ) = 0. But by continuity, we have r x (x, t) ≥ 0, ∀x ∀ ∈ [0, y], ∀t ∈ [0, tˆ]. Hence, r (y, tˆ) ≥ r (0, tˆ) = a > −1 ˆ ˆ 0 and 0 = r x (y, t ) = r (y, t )τ (y, tˆ) > 0. This is a contradiction. Thus r x (x, t) > 0 and a = r (0, t) ≤ r (x, t) ≤ r (L, t) = b, ∀x ∀ ∈ [0, L], t ≥ 0, and estimate (5.2.1) is proved. Second, multiplying (5.1.15), (5.1.16), (5.1.17) and (5.1.18) by u, v, w and θ , respectively, adding up the results, and integrating the resulting equations in [0, L], using (5.1.20), we derive

L d e(x, t)d x = 0 dt 0 which gives (5.2.2). Similarly, by virtue of (5.1.15)–(5.1.18), we deduce that U (x, t)

Now multiplying (5.2.62) by 2 pm 2 p−1 with p ≥ 1 being an arbitrary integer, and noting that all the terms in the bracket {·} on the right-hand side of (5.2.62) are non-negative, we obtain pγ d 2p 2 p−1 C V m(t) L 2 p ≤ ρ L 2 p m(t) L 2 p . dt 2(1 − δ)ν That is,

where τ¯ and θ¯ are the same as those in (5.1.29) and S¯ is deﬁned as S¯ = C V log θ¯ + γ log τ¯ . The next three lemmas concern the exponential stability in H+1 of the global weak solution → (τ (t), − v (t), θ (t)). We shall modify some ideas from [285, 304, 305, 406] to prove these results.

Summing up (5.2.77) and (5.2.78), there exists a positive constant δ1 ≤ δ1 such that as δ ∈ (0, δ1 ], and applying the Gronwall inequality, we can obtain the required estimate (5.2.66). The proof is now complete.

We begin with the following lemma. → v 0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , then if E 0 ≤ δ0 problem (5.1.14)–(5.1.20) admits Lemma 5.3.1. If (ττ0 , − → a unique global weak solution (τ (t), − v (t), θ (t)) in H 2 . Moreover, there exists a positive +

Proof. Differentiating (5.1.15) with respect to t, multiplying the resulting equation by u t eδt , integrating the resulting equation over [0, L] × [0, t], using Lemmas 5.2.1–5.2.5, Lemma 5.2.8 and the estimates u t |t =0 ≤ C2 , u t x ≤ C1 ((r u)t x + u H 1 ), we deduce that for δ > 0 small enough,

Differentiating (5.1.18) with respect to x twice, using Theorems 5.1.1–5.1.2 and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality and the Young inequality, we have θt x x ≤ C2 (θθx H 3 + u x H 2 + ττx H 2 + vx H 2 + wx H 2 )

Inserting (5.4.27) into (5.4.38), we get wt t ≤ C2 (u x H 1 + ττx H 2 + wx H 3 ).

Differentiating (5.1.18) with respect to t and using (5.4.30), (5.4.32), (5.4.39) and Theorems 5.1.1–5.1.2 and the Poincar´e´ inequality, we have θt t ≤ C2 θθx x + θt x + θt x x + u x H 1 + ττx + u t x + vt x + wt x ≤ C2 θθx H 3 + u x H 2 + ττx H 2 + vx H 2 + wx H 2 . (5.4.43)

By (5.4.19), (5.4.24), (5.4.28) and (5.4.33), we infer u x x x x (t)2 + vx x x x (t)2 + wx x x x (t)2 + θθx x x x (t)2 ≤ C2 u x (t)2H 2 + vx (t)2H 2 + wx (t)2H 2 + θθx (t)2H 2 + ττx (t)2H 2 (5.4.151) + u t x x (t)2 + vt x x (t)2 + wt x x (t)2 + θt x x (t)2 . Using (5.4.148), (5.4.150) and Theorems 5.1.1–5.1.2 and Lemma 5.4.10, we can derive (5.4.152) eγ t u x x x x (t)2 + vx x x x (t)2 + wx x x x (t)2 + θθx x x x (t)2

Multiplying (5.4.127) by eγ t and integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t, using (5.4.124), we get

5.5 Bibliographic Comments In the one-dimensional case for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we refer to Section 3.3. In two or three dimensions, we consult Section 3.3, and for this case, we also know that the global existence and large-time behavior of smooth solutions to the equations of a viscous and heat-conductive polytropic ideal gas in general domains have been investigated only for sufﬁciently small smooth initial data (see, e.g., [82, 412]). Particularly, the exponential decay of global smooth solutions with small initial data has been established in the general domains by Matsumura and Nishida (see, e.g., [255–257]), while in this chapter, we do not need the smallness of the initial density ρ0 (we only need the smallness of the initial total energy which does not include the initial density ρ0 ). This is a new ingredient of this chapter.

5.5. Bibliographic Comments

Note that the circular coaxial cylinder symmetric domain in R3 is an unbounded domain. However, under our assumptions that our solutions depend only on one spatial variable r ∈ G = {r ∈ R+ : 0 < a ≤ r ≤ b}, the related domain G to equations is a bounded domain. Moreover, there are some essential differences between our results and those results of Matsumura and Nishida [255–257] in the following aspects: the circular coaxial cylinder symmetric unbounded domain via the general bounded domain; the small total initial energy via the small smooth initial data; the weak solutions via the smooth solutions. For the spherically symmetric motion of a viscous and heat-conductive polytropic ideal gas in an annular bounded domain or in an exterior domain, the global existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions for arbitrary large initial data have been proved in [110, 111, 167, 170, 174, 325, 335, 452] for various boundary conditions. In [106], Frid and Shelukhin discussed the vanishing shear viscosity and established the global existence in H 1 of solutions to the compressible ﬂuids for ﬂows with cylinder symmetry. Qin [326], and Qin and Jiang [331] established the global existence of solutions in H i (i = 1, 2) and H 4, respectively. In this chapter, these results in [326, 331] have been introduced. It is worth pointing out some difﬁculties encountered in this chapter. Since we are about to study the large-time behavior of global solutions, all the estimates should be uniform, that is, they should be independent of any length of time. This will result in some severe mathematical difﬁculties. The ﬁrst difﬁculty encountered here is to establish uniform point-wise positive lower and upper bounds of the speciﬁc volume τ = 1/ρ (cf. (5.1.25)). To derive this, we need the smallness of the initial total energy. The second difﬁculty arising here is to prove the point-wise positive lower bound (cf. (5.1.24)) of the absolute temperature which should be positive for all time from the physical point of view. To do this, we have carried out the following two steps: (1) we prove the result of large-time behavior of the absolute temperature, with which we can prove the absolute temperature, has a uniform point-wise positive lower bound for a sufﬁciently large time (see, (5.2.61)); (2) with the help of the delicate estimates, we make a transform m = 1/θ (see, the formula above (5.2.62)) to prove the absolute temperature has a uniform pointwise positive lower bound on any bounded time interval (see, the formula below (5.2.63)). Combining these two aspects we ﬁnally derive the positive lower bound of the absolute temperature (see, (5.2.64)). The third difﬁculty is that we need some estimates of the absolute temperature with the fractional order (see (5.2.35) in Lemma 5.2.3), since from the proofs of our main results, we easily ﬁnd that the case of α = 1 is not applicable for our proofs. This is why we have to establish Lemma 5.2.3. The forth difﬁculty here is that equations under consideration and the constitutive relations for the cylinder symmetric case (cf. (5.1.1)–(5.1.5) or (5.1.14)–(5.1.22)) seem more difﬁcult than those (cf. (4.1.1)– (4.1.5) or (4.1.13)–(4.1.18)) of the spherically symmetric model in Chapter 4 (see, e.g., [110, 111, 167, 170, 174, 325, 335, 452]), so we need more delicate estimates to prove our results in this chapter.

Chapter 6

One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity In this chapter we shall study the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to a 1D nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity system. The more general constitutive relation will be studied and our assumptions on the growth exponents of the temperature include cases not studied ever before. The results of this chapter are adopted from Qin [315, 317, 320, 324]. We shall use in this chapter the same notation as that in Chapter 2.

6.1 Global Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions This section is concerned with global existence and asymptotic behavior, as time tends to inﬁnity, of solutions to system in one-dimensional nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity. The referential (Lagrangian) form of the conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy for a one-dimensional material with the reference density ρ0 = 1 is u t − vx = 0, vt − σx = 0,

v2 e+ − (σ v)x + Q x = 0, 2 t

(6.1.1) (6.1.2) (6.1.3)

and the second law of thermodynamics is expressed by the Clausius-Duhem inequality Q ≥ 0. (6.1.4) ηt + θ x

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

Here subscripts indicate partial differentiations, u, v, σ, e, Q, η and θ denote the deformation gradient, velocity, stress, internal energy, heat ﬂux, speciﬁc entropy and temperature, respectively. We consider the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) in the region {0 ≤ x ≤ 1, t ≥ 0} under initial conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x), v(x, 0) = v0 (x), θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x) on [0, 1],

(6.1.5)

and boundary conditions of the form σ (0, t) = γ v(0, t), σ (1, t) = −γ v(1, t), θ (0, t) = θ (1, t) = T0 ,

(6.1.6)

where γ = 0 or γ = 1 , and T0 > 0 is the reference temperature. The boundary condition (6.1.6) with γ = 1 , boundary damping, indicates that the endpoints of the interval [0,1] are connected to some sort of dash pot. For one-dimensional homogeneous, thermoviscoelastic materials, e, σ, η and q are given by the constitutive relations (see Dafermos [74], Dafermos and Hsiao [77]) e = e(u, θ ), σ = σ (u, θ, vx ), η = η(u, θ ), Q = Q(u, θ, θ x )

(6.1.7)

which in order to be consistent with (6.1.4), must satisfy σ (u, θ, 0) = u (u, θ ), η(u, θ ) = −θ (u, θ ), (σ (u, θ, w) − σ (u, θ, 0))w ≥ 0, Q(u, θ, g)g ≤ 0

(6.1.8) (6.1.9)

where = e − θ η is the Helmholtz free energy function. We assume that e(u, θ ), p(u, θ ), μ(u) and k(u, θ ) are twice continuously differentiable on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and interrelated by eu (u, θ ) = − p(u, θ ) + θ pθ (u, θ ), σ (u, θ, vx ) = − p(u, θ ) + μ(u)vx , (6.1.10) Q(u, θ, θ x ) = −k(u, θ )θθ x so as to be consistent with (6.1.4) or (6.1.8)–(6.1.9). We assume that μ(u) satisﬁes μ(u)u ≥ μ0 > 0

(6.1.11)

with some constant μ0 > 0. Furthermore, we will be concerned with solid-like materials, so we require that p(u, θ ) be compressive for small u and tensile for large u, at any < ∞ such that temperature, i.e., there are 0 < u≤U p(u, θ ) ≥ 0, 0 < u < u , 0 ≤ θ < ∞, < u < ∞, 0 ≤ θ < ∞. p(u, θ ) ≤ 0, U

(6.1.12) (6.1.13)

Therefore the assumptions (6.1.12)–(6.1.13) imply that there exists a constant η0 with such that u ≤ η0 ≤ U u (η0 , T0 ) = − p(η0 , T0 ) = 0. (6.1.14)

6.1. Global Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions

295

We also require that p(u, θ ) possess the following monotone condition (see, e.g., Jiang [164]): − pu (u, T0 ) > 0, for any u ≤ u ≤ U if γ = 0 in (6.1.6), − pu (u, T0 ) ≥ p0 > 0, for any 0 < u < ∞ if γ = 1 in (6.1.6).

and (u, θ ) is the Helmholtz free energy function. We can show that u is a priori bounded, u < u(x, t) < U (see Lemma 6.2.3). We assume that there are exponents q, r satisfying one of the conditions 0 ≤ r ≤ 2/3, (3r + 2)/6 < q,

2/3 < r < 3, (4r + 2)/7 < q,

(6.1.22)

3 ≤ r, (5r + 1)/8 < q

(6.1.23)

and concerning the growth of the temperature, we require that there be positive constants ν, N1 , N possibly depending on u and/or U such that for any u ≤ u ≤ U , 0 ≤ θ < ∞, 0 ≤ e(u, 0), ν(1 + θ r ) ≤ eθ (u, θ ) ≤ N(1 + θ r ), −N N1 (1 + θ

For the initial data, we assume that for some α4 ∈ (0, 1), (u 0 (x), v0 (x), θ0 (x)) ∈ H 1+α4 × H 2+α4 × H 2+α4 and u 0 (x) > 0, θ0 (x) > 0 for all x ∈ [0, 1], and the initial data are compatible with the boundary condition (6.1.6). We are now in a position to state our main theorem.

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

Theorem 6.1.1. Under the assumptions (6.1.11)–(6.1.13), (6.1.15)–(6.1.16), (6.1.21)– (6.1.29) and above assumptions on the initial data, the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) admits a unique global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ BT1+α4 × HT2+α4 × 2+α HT 4 for any T > 0 with u < u(x, t) 0 on [0, 1]×[0, ∞). Moreover, there exist positive constants t0 , C1 , C1 such that for all t ≥ t0 , there holds v(t) H 1 + θ (t) − T0 H 1 + u(t) − η0 H 1 ≤ C1 exp(−C1 t)

(6.1.30)

and as t → +∞, we have

u(t) − η0 H 1 → 0, v(t) H 1 → 0, v(t) L ∞ → 0,

(6.1.31)

θθx (t) → 0, θ (t) − T0 H 1 → 0, θ (t) − T0 L ∞ → 0,

γ (v (0, t) + v (1, t)) → 0, p(u, θ ) H 1 → 0, σ (u, θ, vx ) → 0

(6.1.33)

where (η0 , 0, T0 ) is the unique solution to the corresponding stationary problem to (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6). Remark 6.1.1. With different assumptions on the exponents q and r , similar conclusions to those in Theorem 6.1.1 hold for the boundary conditions σ (0, t) = v(0, t),

σ (1, t) = −v(1, t),

Q(0, t) = Q(1, t) = 0

and for the boundary conditions Q(0, t) = Q(1, t) = 0 or

θ (0, t) = θ (1, t) = T0

σ (0, t) = 0, σ (1, t) = −v(1, t) or σ (0, t) = v(0, t), σ (1, t) = 0. Remark 6.1.2. Similar global existence results in Theorem 6.1.1 can be established for the boundary conditions σ (0, t) = σ (1, t) = 0, Q(0, t) = Q(1, t) = 0 and σ (0, t) = σ (1, t) = 0, θ (0, t) = θ (1, t) = T0 . With the exponents q = 0 and 0 ≤ r < 7/18, Dafermos [74] established the global existence of smooth solutions for the ﬁrst case of boundary conditions above. The global existence of smooth solutions in Theorem 6.1.1 is based on a priori estimates that can be used to continue a local solution globally in time. Existence and uniqueness of local solutions (with positive u and θ ) can be obtained by linearization of the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6), and by use of the Banach contraction mapping theorem. After uniform a priori estimates have been established in Section 6.2, the global existence of smooth large solutions can be obtained by the same approaches as in Kawashima and Nishida [191] and Nagasawa [283–286]. So the most important step is to derive uniform a priori estimates.

6.2. Uniform A Priori Estimates

The proofs of Theorem 6.1.1 and Theorem 6.2.1 are divided into a series of lemmas. Lemma 6.2.1. There holds that θ (x, t) > 0,

on

[0, 1] × [0, ∞).

Proof. The proof of (6.2.1) is similar to that of (2.1.32).

(6.2.1)

Lemma 6.2.2. If u ≤ u(x, t) ≤ U for all x ∈ [0, 1] and t ∈ [0, τ ], τ > 0, then ωγ 1 1 1 ν 1 (θ (x, t) − T0 )2 dx + (u(x, t) − η0 )2 d x + v(x, t)d x 2 0 θ (x, t) + T0 2 0 2 0 1 v 2 (x) d x ≡ e0 , ∀0 ≤ t ≤ τ, E(u 0 (x), θ0 (x)) + 0 ≤ (6.2.2) 2 0 where ωγ = 0 for γ = 0 and ωγ = p0 for γ = 1, E(u, θ ) and p0 are the same as in (6.1.20) and (6.1.16), respectively. Proof. Recalling the deﬁnition of E(u, θ ), and noting that eθ (u, θ ) = −θ θθ (u, θ ) and (u, θ ) = e(u, θ ) − θ η(u, θ ) satisﬁes −θ (u, θ ) = η(u, θ ), u (u, θ ) = σ (u, θ, 0) = − p(u, θ ),

(6.2.3)

using (6.1.1)–(6.1.3), (6.1.11) and (6.2.3), we deduce after a direct calculation that 2 k(u, θ )θθ x2 v2 (θ − T0 )k(u, θ )θθ x μvx + T0 + = σ v + ∂t E(u, θ ) + . (6.2.4) 2 θ θ2 θ x Integrating (6.2.4) over Q t ≡ [0, 1] × [0, t] and using (6.1.6) leads to t 1 2 1

(6.2.7)

Inserting (6.2.7) into (6.2.5) yields the lemma.

Next we want to bound the deformation gradient u(x, t). To this end, we rewrite (6.1.2), using (6.1.20), as follows: vt + p(u, θ )x = M(u)t x .

(6.2.8)

Lemma 6.2.3. There holds that u < u(x, t) < U , on [0, 1] × [0, ∞)

(6.2.9)

where u and U are deﬁned by (6.1.17) and (6.1.18) respectively. Proof. We integrate (6.2.8) over [0, y] × [s, τ ] and [y, 1] × [s, τ ], 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ s < τ , respectively, and apply the boundary condition (6.1.6) to obtain

6.2. Uniform A Priori Estimates

299

By Lemma 6.2.2 and the Schwarz inequality, recalling the deﬁnition (6.1.19), we see that if u ≤ u(x, t) ≤ U for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ t ≤ τ , then we have γ 1 1 γ 1 (v(τ, x) − v(s, x))d x (u(x, τ ) − u(x, s))d x + − 2 0 2 0 y 1/2 1/2 1 1 2 2 ≤ γ max u (x, ·)d x + max v (x, ·)d x (6.2.13) [0,τ ]

In particular, (6.1.17) and (6.1.18) yield u 0 and y ∈ [0, 1] such that u < u(x, t) < U f or x ∈ [0, 1], 0 ≤ t < τ, but u(y, τ ) = u or u(y, τ ) = U . (6.2.14) Note that u < u . If u(y, τ ) = u, then either u(y, t) < u for 0 ≤ t ≤ τ , or u(y, t) < u for 0 ≤ s < t ≤ τ , but u(y, s) = u . Recalling that, on account of (6.2.14), u ≤ u(x, t) ≤ U for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ t ≤ τ, in the former case we apply (6.2.12) with s = 0 and utilize (6.2.12) and (6.2.13) to deduce 1/2

M(u(y, τ )) > M(u 0 (y)) − 2E 0 (1) − 1

(6.2.15)

while in the latter case (6.2.12) combined with (6.2.12) and (6.2.13) implies 1/2

M(u(y, τ )) > M( u ) − 2E 0 (1) − 1.

(6.2.16)

In either case, by (6.1.17), M(u(y, τ )) > M(u) which contradicts u(y, τ ) = u. Hence u < u(x, t), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ t < ∞. Similarly, we can show that u(y, τ ) = U is a contradiction. This shows u(x, t) 0, 1 t 1+r 2 [(θ/T T0 − log(θ/T T0 ) − 1) + θ + v ](x, t)d x + γ [v 2 (0, s) + v 2 (1, s)](x, s)ds 0

Therefore it follows from the Taylor theorem and (6.1.29) that E(u, θ ) − (u, θ ) + (u, T0 ) + (θ − T0 )θ (u, θ ) = (u, T0 ) − (η0 , T0 ) − u (η0 , T0 )(u − η0 ) 1 (1 − ξ )uu (η0 + ξ(u − η0 ), T0 )dξ ≥ 0. = (u − η0 )2 0

which, combined with (6.2.5), yields (6.2.17).

Remark 6.2.1. It follows from the convexity of the function − ln y that there exist two positive constants r1 , r2 only depending on the initial data such that 1 1 0 < r1 ≤ θ d x ≤ r2 . T0 0 Remark 6.2.2. By the mean value theorem and (6.1.14), we have | p(u, θ )| ≤ C(1 + θ r+1 )

which implies that for any t > 0, there is a point x 0 (t) ∈ [0, 1] such that v(x 0 (t), t) = 0. We infer from (6.2.21) that

(6.2.96) 2 But due to (6.1.14) and using the mean value theorem, we have p(u, θ ) = pu (u 1 , θ1 )(u − η0 ) + pθ (u 1 , θ1 )(θ − T0 )

(6.2.97)

where min(u, η0 ) ≤ u 1 ≤ max(u, η0 ) and min(θ, T0 ) ≤ θ1 ≤ max(θ, T0 ). Hence by the mean value theorem and (6.1.25), we get |u − η0 | ≤ C(| p| + |θ − T0 |), u − η0 ≤ C( p + θ − T0 ) ≤ C( p + θθx ).

(6.2.98) (6.2.99)

By the Nirenberg inequality and (6.2.98)–(6.2.99), we have p L ∞ ≤ C(u − η0 L ∞ + θ − T0 L ∞ ) ≤ C(u − η0 1/2 u x 1/2 + u − η0 + θθ x ) ≤ C{( p1/2 + θθx 1/2 )u x 1/2 + p + θθ x } ≤ C( p + θθx + u x ) and

Thus, p L ∞ v L ∞ ≤ C( p + θθx + u x )(v + vx ) ≤ vx 2 + C(v2 + p2 + u x 2 + θθx 2 ).

(6.2.102)

Clearly, we have γ 2 (v (0, t) + v 2 (1, t)) − 2 p L ∞ v L ∞ 2 γ ≥ (C11 − 2)vx 2 + (v 2 (0, t) + v 2 (1, t)) 2 2 −C12 ( p + v2 + u x 2 + θθx 2 ).

Taking > 0 sufﬁciently small in (6.2.103) (2 < C11 ) and taking C10 > 0 sufﬁciently large in (6.2.93) (C10 > C12 ), gives (6.2.94). On the other hand, it is easy to get from (6.2.93) Z (t) ≤ C(vx 2 + p2 + θθx 2 + u x 2 + p2L∞ + v2L∞ ) γ (6.2.104) + (v 2 (0, t) + v 2 (1, t)) 2 γ ≤ C(vx 2 + p2 + θθx 2 + u x 2 + v2L ∞ ) + (v 2 (0, t) + v 2 (1, t)) 2 which implies (6.2.91) by Lemmas 6.2.1–6.2.13. From (6.2.93), (6.2.96) and Lemmas 6.2.14–6.2.15, we easily deduce d d Z (t) = w (t) + C10 ( p2 + θθx 2 + u x 2 + v2 ) dt dt ≤ C(vx 3L 3 + u x 2 + θθx 2 + vx 2L ∞ + v2L ∞ + p2 + θt 2 + vx x 2 + vt 2 + 1) ≤ C(vx 5/2 vx x 1/2 + vx 3 + u x 2 + θθx 2 + vx vx x + vx 2 + vvx + v2 + p2 + θt 2 + vx x 2 + vt 2 + 1) ≤ C(vx x 2 + θt 2 + vt 2 + 1).

where (η0 , 0, T0 ) is the unique solution to the corresponding stationary problem to (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6). Moreover, there exist positive constants t0 , C1 , C1 such that for all t ≥ t0 , there holds v(t) H 1 + θ (t) − T0 H 1 + u(t) − η0 H 1 ≤ C1 exp(−C1 t).

(6.2.111)

Proof. Estimate (6.2.105) is the direct consequence by applying Theorem 1.2.4 and Lemma 6.2.16. It is obvious that (6.2.106)–(6.2.110) are the consequence of (6.2.105). It is easy to verify that (η0 , 0, T0 ) is the unique solution to the corresponding stationary problem to (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6). Now since (u(t) − η0 , v(t), θ (t) − T0 ) can be small in the H 1 norm for sufﬁciently large t, we can deduce the desired estimate (6.2.111) by the same method as that in Section 2.3. Proofs of Theorem 6.1.1 and Theorem 6.2.1 By the standard argument (see, e.g., Theorems 2.1.1–2.1.2) and using Lemmas 6.2.1–6.2.17, we complete the proofs of Theorem 6.1.1 and Theorem 6.2.1. Remark 6.2.4. It follows from the proofs of Lemmas 6.2.1–6.2.17 and Theorem 6.1.1 that all the constants in Lemmas 6.2.1–6.2.17 depend only on the H 1 norm of the initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ). Thus the following results of global existence, uniqueness and the same results of the asymptotic behavior as Theorem 6.1.1 hold. Corollary 6.2.3. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H 1 × H 1 × H 1, then problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) admits a unique generalized solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in the sense that u ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; H 1), u t ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; L 2 ), (v, θ ) ∈ L ∞ (0, +∞; H 1) ∩ L 2 (0, +∞; H 2) ∩ H 1(0, +∞; L 2 ). Moreover, (6.2.105)–(6.2.111) hold.

6.3 Exponential Stability and Maximal Attractors In this section we prove global existence, exponential stability of solutions and existence of maximal attractors in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) for problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6). We assume that e(u, θ ), p(u, θ ), μ(u), σ (u, θ, vx ) and k(u, θ ) are sufﬁciently smooth functions on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞ with the constitutive relations (6.1.11)–(6.1.13). Furthermore, we consider a kind of solid-like materials, so we require that p(u, θ ) be compressive for small u and tensile for large u, at any temperature, i.e., there are < ∞ such that (6.1.12)–(6.1.13) hold. 0< u≤U Therefore the assumptions (6.1.12)–(6.1.13) imply that there exists a constant η0 such that (6.1.14) holds. with u ≤ η0 ≤ U

326

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

We also require that p(u, θ ) possess the monotone condition (6.1.12)–(6.1.16), and assume that there are exponents q, r satisfying (6.1.21)–(6.1.23) and concerning the growth of the temperature, we require that there be positive constants ν, N1 , N possibly depending on u and/or U such that for any u ≤ u ≤ U , 0 ≤ θ < ∞, (6.1.24)–(6.1.29) hold. In this section, we establish the global existence and exponential stability of solutions in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) (see, e.g., Theorems 6.3.1–6.3.3). Since the arguments are more or less similar to those in Section 2.5, we omit the details here for the proofs of these results. On the other hand, when studying dynamical systems for problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6), since the treatment for the uniform bounds, only depending on some parameters (see below for details), from above and below of the deformation gradient u is quite different from those in Section 2.5 about a one-dimensional viscous heat conductive ideal (real) gas, we need to exploit different approaches to treat this topic. To study the dynamics for this problem, we still encounter some similar mathematical difﬁculties. We may adopt similar approaches to those in Section 2.5. Of course, because of a different physical background from that of the model in Chapter 2, the treatment of the deformation gradient u is quite different from those for the one-dimensional polytropic viscous ideal gas in Section 3.1 and viscous heat conductive real gas in Section 2.5. We deﬁne three spaces as H+1 = (u, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1],

which become three metric spaces when equipped with the metrics induced from the usual norms. In the above, H 1, H 2, H 4 are the usual Sobolev spaces. Let 1 Hδi := (u, v, θ ) ∈ H+i : (E(u, θ ) + v 2 /2)d x ≤ δ1 , δ2 ≤ u ≤ δ3 , δ4 ≤ θ ≤ δ5 , , 0

where δi (i = 1, . . . , 5) are any given constants satisfying 0 < δ1 , 0 < δ2 < η0 < δ3 , 0 < δ4 < T0 < δ5 .

(6.3.2)

Obviously, Hδi (i = 1, 2, 4) is a sequence of closed subspaces of H+i (i = 1, 2, 4). We shall see later on that the ﬁrst constraint is invariant, while the last two constraints are not invariant. These two constraints are just introduced to overcome the difﬁculty that the original spaces H+i (i = 1, 2, 4) are incomplete. It should be pointed out that it is very crucial to prove that the orbit starting from any bounded set of Hδi will re-enter Hδi and stay there after a ﬁnite time. We use Ci (i = 1, 2, 4) to denote the universal positive constant depending only on the H i norm of initial data. Cδ (sometimes Cδ ) stands for the universal positive constant depending only on δi (i = 1, . . . , 5), but independent of initial data. C B˜ i ,δ denotes the universal positive constant depending on δ j ( j = 1, . . . , 5), H i norm of initial data (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) with (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H i ≤ B˜ i (i = 1, 2, 4). Without danger of confusion we use the same symbol to denote the state functions as well as their values along a thermodynamic process, e.g., p(u, θ ), and p(u(x, t), θ (x, t)) and p(x, t). Similarly to the proofs of those of Theorems 2.3.1–2.3.2 and Theorem 2.4.1, we can prove the following Theorems 6.3.1–6.3.3. Theorem 6.3.1. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C 2 functions on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and the assumptions (6.1.11)–(6.1.13), (6.1.15)–(6.1.16), (6.1.21)–(6.1.29) hold. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , then the unique global weak solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+1 to the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 mapping H+1 into itself and satisfying that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+1 )

The estimate (6.3.5) implies the corresponding estimate of exponential decay of solution in Theorem 6.1.1 (see also (6.1.30)) which holds only for a large time. Theorem 6.3.2.

If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , then there exists a unique global weak solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ H+2 to the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) which deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) (also denoted by S(t) by the uniqueness of solution in H+1 ) on H+2 mapping H+2 into itself and satisfying that for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) = (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) ∈ C([0, +∞); H+2 )

Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+2 , there exist constants C2 > 0 and 0 < γ2 = γ2 (C2 ) ≤ γ1 (C1 ) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ [0, γ2 ] and for any t > 0, the following inequality holds: eγ t (u(t) − η0 2H 2 + v(t)2H 2 + θ (t) − T0 2H 2 + u t (t)2H 1 ) +

Under assumptions of Theorem 6.3.3 and if corresponding compatibility conditions hold, the global solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) obtained in Theorem 6.3.3 is the classical solution verifying that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ] and for any t > 0, (u(t) − η0 , v(t), θ (t) − T0 )2C 3+1/2 ×C 3+1/2 ×C 3+1/2 ≤ C4 e−γ t .

Theorem 6.3.4. Assume that e, p, σ and k are C i+1 (i = 1, 2, 4) functions on 0 < u < +∞ and 0 ≤ θ < +∞, and assumptions (6.1.11)–(6.1.13), (6.1.15)–(6.1.16), and (6.1.21)–(6.1.29) hold. Then semigroup S(t) deﬁned on H+i (i = 1, 2, 4) by the solution to problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) maps H+i (i = 1, 2, 4) into itself. Moreover, for any δi (i = 1, . . . , 5) satisfying (6.3.2), it possesses in Hδi (i = 1, 2, 4) a universal (maximal) attractor Ai,δ (i = 1, 2, 4). Corollary 6.3.2. Under assumptions in Hsiao and Luo [159], i.e., (6.7.3)–(6.7.7) (in Section 6.7) and f (u) is strictly monotone decreasing in u, namely, f (u) < 0, ∀u ∈ [u, U ]

(6.3.13)

where u and U are positive constants depending only on the initial data, but not on any length of time, and 0 < u ≤ u˜ ≤ U˜ ≤ U , the same conclusions as in Theorems 6.1.1–6.1.3 and Corollary 6.3.1 also hold for the model in Hsiao and Luo [159] with the boundary conditions of stress-free and thermally insulated endpoints, where η0 is the 1 unique root of f (u) = 0 and T0 should be replaced by θ¯ ≡ C1V 0 (C V θ0 + 12 v02 )(x)d x.

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

Corollary 6.3.3. Under assumptions in Hsiao and Jian [157], i.e., (6.7.3) and (6.7.6)– (6.7.9), the same conclusions as in Theorems 6.3.1–6.3.3 and Corollary 6.3.1 also hold where η0 is the unique root of f (u) = 0 for the model in Hsiao and Jian [157] with the boundary condition (6.1.6). Remark 6.3.2. The corresponding estimate (6.3.12) obtained in Corollaries 6.3.2–6.3.3 for the models in Hsiao and Luo [159], Hsiao and Jian [157] (where T0 is replaced by ¯ was obtained for sufﬁciently large time (see, e.g., Theorem 1.5 in Hsiao and Luo [159] θ) and Theorem 1.4 in Hsiao and Jian [157]). Thus this estimate has improved those in [157, 159]. Remark 6.3.3. The corresponding estimate (6.3.12) in Corollary 6.3.1 for the models in [157, 159] was obtained in Greenberg and MacCamy [129] for the case of isothermal viscoelasticity (i.e., θ ≡ constant). Thus our results have extended the case of isothermal viscoelasticity to the non-isothermal case – thermoviscoelastic materials. Remark 6.3.4. It is easy to verify that our approaches in the proofs of Theorems 6.3.1– 6.3.3 also apply to all boundary conditions involving pinned or stress-free endpoints which are either held at constant temperature or insulated. For these boundary conditions, if we could establish uniform estimates (i.e., these estimates depend only on the initial and boundary data, but independent of any length of time) in H 1 similar to those in Theorem 6.3.1 with γ = 0, then we readily obtain similar results to those in Theorems 6.3.1–6.3.3 and Corollary 6.3.1. Otherwise, if we only derive estimates in H 1 depending on the length of time and similar to those in Theorems 6.3.1 with γ = 0, we only obtain the corresponding global existence results in Theorems 6.3.2–6.3.3 where all constants depend on the length of any given time, but no large time behavior solutions can be obtained. But it is noteworthy that the strict monotonicity of the pressure p(u, θ ) in u (the deformation gradient) should be assumed, which is very helpful for deriving estimates of u in H i (i = 1, 2, 4). Remark 6.3.5. Similar conclusions to those in Theorem 6.3.4 also hold for the results for the models in Hsiao and Jian [157] and Hsiao and Luo [159], but for the boundary conditions of the model in Hsiao and Luo [159], we have to modify appropriately the deﬁnitions of H+i and Hδi (i = 1, 2, 4) as follows: 1 H+ = {(u, v, θ ) ∈ H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] × H 1[0, 1] : u(x) > 0, θ (x) > 0, x ∈ [0, 1],

The unique global weak solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) in H+1 deﬁnes a nonlinear C0 -semigroup S(t) on H+1 . Moreover, for any (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ H+1 , the global weak solution (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) to the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) satisﬁes (u(t), v(t), θ (t)) = S(t)(u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ C([0, +∞), H+1 ),

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

Proof of Theorem 6.3.1. We begin with Lemmas 6.4.1–6.4.2 and repeat the same process as the proofs of Theorem 2.3.1 to be able to complete the proof of Theorem 6.3.1. Proof of Theorem 6.3.2. Employing Theorem 6.3.1 and repeating the same argument as the proof of Theorem 6.3.2, we can prove the conclusions of Theorem 6.3.2.

6.5 Exponential Stability in H 4 In this section, we complete the proof of Theorem 6.3.3. Proof of Theorem 6.3.3. Based on Theorems 6.3.1–6.3.2, we follow the proof of Theorem 2.4.1 to ﬁnish the proof of Theorem 6.3.3.

6.6 Universal Attractors in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) In this section, we shall complete the proof of Theorem 6.3.4.

6.6.1 Existence of An Absorbing Set in Hδ1 In this subsection we establish the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ1. The situation is different from those encountered in the treatment of a viscous polytropic ideal gas (see, e.g., [445, 446]) and a viscous heat conductive real gas (see, e.g., Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [337]; see also Chapter 2). Throughout this subsection we always suppose that the initial datum belongs to a bounded set B1 of Hδ1, i.e., (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 1 ≤ B˜ 1 , B˜ 1 being some +

positive constant. First we have to show the orbit starting from B1 will re-enter Hδ1 and stay there after a ﬁnite time, which should be uniform with respect to all orbits starting from B1 . Lemma 6.6.1. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following estimates hold for any t > 0: t 1 1 μvx2 k(u, θ )θθ x2 E(u, θ ) + v 2 (x, t)d x + T0 (x, τ )d x dτ + 2 θ θ2 0 0 0 t 1 1 2 2 2 +γ E(u 0 , θ0 ) + v0 (x)d x ≤ δ1 , (6.6.1) [v (0, τ ) + v (1, τ )]dτ = 2 0 0 1 1 r ωγ ν [1 + min (θ, T0 )] (θ − T0 )2 (x, t)d x + (u − η0 )2 (x, t)d x 2 0 θ + T0 2 0 1 1 E(u 0 , θ0 ) + v02 (x)d x ≤ δ1 , (6.6.2) ≤ 2 0 u δ ≤ u(x, t) ≤ Uδ , (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞), (6.6.3)

Therefore (6.6.2) follows from (6.6.1) and (6.6.9). Similarly to the proof of Lemma 6.2.3, we have (6.2.12). Similarly to (6.2.13), we can derive from (6.6.1)–(6.6.2), y 1 1 γ 1 (v(x, τ ) − v(x, s))d x (u(x, τ ) − u(x, s))d x + − 2 0 2 0 y

Chapter 6. One-dimensional Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity

Therefore, if u δ < u(x, t) < Uδ is violated on [0, 1] × [0, +∞), then there exist τ > 0 and y ∈ [0, 1] such that u δ < u(x, t) < Uδ f or x ∈ [0, 1], 0 ≤ t < τ, but u(y, τ ) = u δ or u(y, τ ) = Uδ . (6.6.12) Note that (6.6.5)–(6.6.6) imply u δ < u. ˜ If u(y, τ ) = u δ , then either u(y, t) < u˜ for 0 ≤ t ≤ τ , or u(y, t) < u˜ for 0 ≤ s < t ≤ τ , but u(y, s) = u. ˜ By (6.6.12), for the former case we apply (6.2.12) with s = 0 and employ (6.6.10)–(6.6.11) to derive 1/2

M(u(y, τ )) > M(u) ˜ − 2E δ

− 1.

(6.6.14)

Thus in either case, by (6.6.12), we have M(u(y, τ )) > M(u δ ) which contradicts u(y, τ ) = u δ in (6.6.12). Hence u δ < u(x, t),

0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 < t < +∞.

(6.6.15)

Similarly, we can show that u(y, τ ) = Uδ is a contradiction. This shows that u(x, t) < Uδ f or 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ t < +∞. Thus the combination of (6.6.15) and (6.6.16) implies (6.6.3). Similarly to (6.2.17), (6.6.4) follows from (6.6.1)–(6.6.3).

(6.6.16)

Corollary 6.6.1. Under assumptions of Lemma 6.6.1, there exist two positive constants Cδ , Cδ such that 1 1 θ d x ≤ Cδ , ∀t > 0. (6.6.17) 0 < Cδ ≤ T0 0

Proof. See, e.g., Remark 6.2.1. Lemma 6.6.2. If (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) ∈ Hδ1, then the following estimate holds, 0 < Cδ−1 ≤ θ (x, t), Proof. See, e.g., Lemma 2.8.5.

∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, +∞).

Lemma 6.6.3. For initial data belonging to an arbitrary ﬁxed bounded set B of Hδ1 there is t0 > 0 depending only on boundedness of this bounded set B1 such that, for all t ≥ t0 , x ∈ [0, 1], δ2 ≤ u(x, t) ≤ δ3 , δ4 ≤ θ (x, t) ≤ δ5 . (6.6.19) Proof. See, e.g., Lemma 2.5.5.

6.6. Universal Attractors in H i (i = 1, 2, 4)

Remark 6.6.1. It follows from Lemma 6.6.1 and Lemma 6.6.3 that for initial data belonging to a given bounded set B1 of Hδ1, the orbit will re-enter Hδ1 and stay there after a ﬁnite time. Now we use Lemmas 6.6.1–6.6.3, and follow the proofs of Lemmas 2.5.8–2.5.9 to obtain the following lemma. Lemma 6.6.4. There exists a positive constant γ1 = γ1 (C B˜ 1 ,δ ) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ1 (C B˜ 1 ,δ )], the following estimate holds, (u(t) − η0 , v(t), θ (t) − T0 )2H 1 ≤ C B1 ,δ e−γ t , ∀t > 0.

Thus the following result on the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ1 follows from Lemma 6.6.4. Theorem 6.6.1. Let

R1 = R1 (δ) = 2 δ32 + T02

and

Bˆ 1 = {(u, v, θ ) ∈ Hδ1, (u, v, θ ) H 1 ≤ R1 }. +

Then Bˆ 1 is an absorbing ball in Hδ1, i.e., there exists some t1 = t1 (C B˜ 1 ,δ ) = max{−γ1−1 log[2(δ32 + T02 )/C B˜ 1 ,δ ], t0 } ≥ t0 such that when t ≥ t1 ,

(u(t), v(t), θ (t))2H 1 ≤ R12 . +

6.6.2 Existence of An Absorbing Set in Hδ2 Throughout this subsection we always assume that the initial datum belongs to an arbitrarily ﬁxed bounded set B2 in Hδ2, i.e., (u 0 , v0 , θ0 ) H 2 ≤ B˜ 2 , with B˜ 2 > 0 being some + constant. Following the proofs of Lemmas 2.5.10–2.5.11, we readily obtain the following lemma. Lemma 6.6.5. There exists a positive constant γ2 = γ2 (C B˜ 2 ,δ ) ≤ γ1 such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ2 (C B˜ 2 ,δ )], the following estimate holds, (u(t) − η0 , v(t), θ (t) − T0 )2H 2 ≤ C B˜ 2 ,δ e−γ t , +

∀t > 0.

(6.6.21)

Now if we set

γ2−1 log[2(δ32 + T02 )/C B˜ 2 ,δ ] t2 = t2 (C B˜ 2 ,δ ) ≥ max t1 (C B˜ 1 ,δ ), −γ R2 = R2 (δ) = R1 (δ) = 2 δ32 + T02 ,

then the following result on the existence of an absorbing set in Hδ2 is readily obtained.

Following the proofs of Lemmas 2.6.1–2.6.3, we easily obtain the following lemma. Lemma 6.6.6. There exists a positive constant γ4 = γ4 (C B˜ 4 ,δ ) ≤ γ2 (C B˜ 2 ,δ ) such that for any ﬁxed γ ∈ (0, γ4 ], the following estimate holds, (u(t) − η0 , v(t), θ (t) − T0 )2H 4 ≤ C B˜ 4 ,δ e−γ t , ∀t > 0.

Jiang [164] established the global existence of a smooth solution to the problem (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6) with constitutive relations e = e(u, θ ), σ = − p(u, θ ) + μ(u)vx , Q = −k(u, θ )θθx

Unfortunately, the problem has been open till now. Hsiao and Luo [159] ﬁrst considered a kind of solid-like material with the constitutive relations e = c0 θ, σ = − p(u, θ ) + μ(u)vx , p(u, θ ) = f (u)θ, Q = −k(u)θθ x ,

(6.7.9)

for any (u, θ ) ∈ [a, A] × (0, +∞), Hsiao and Jian [157] investigated the large-time behavior of smooth solutions to the system (6.1.1)–(6.1.3) and (6.1.5)–(6.1.6). Qin [324] improved the results in [74, 155, 157, 164] and established the global existence, exponential stability of solutions in H i (i = 1, 2, 4) and existence of maximal attractors in H i (i = 1, 2, 4). The results of Sections 6.1–6.2 come from Qin [315, 317, 320] and results of Sections 6.3 come from Qin [324].

A Nonlinear One-dimensional Thermoelastic System with a Thermal Memory 7.1 Main Results In this chapter we study the global existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solutions to equations of one-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity with thermal memory subject to Dirichlet-Dirichlet boundary conditions for temperature difference and displacement, respectively. The results of this chapter come from Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera and Qin [279]. The reference conﬁguration under consideration is the unit interval = (0, 1). The equations under consideration read as follows: u t t − S(u x , θ )x = 0, in × [0, +∞), t (θ + τ0 )N(u x , θ )t − Q(u x , θx , θ )x − k(t − τ )(θθx (x, τ ))x dτ

We put · = · L 2 (0,1). By Hη we denote the Hessian matrix of the function η. The matrix Aτ denotes the transposed matrix of matrix A. We use C, C0 , C1 , . . . , to denote the generic constants independent of time t > 0. We are now in a position to state our main result. Theorem 7.1.1. Under assumptions (7.1.5)–(7.1.9) and (7.1.12)–(7.1.15), there exists a small constant 0 < 0 < min(1, ρ0 ), ρ0 = min[1, τ0 /2] such that for any ∈ (0, 0 ) and for any initial data satisfying

Remark 7.1.1. The technique in this section also works for boundary conditions u(0, t) = u x (1, t) = θ x (0, t) = θ (1, t) = 0 and u x (0, t) = u(1, t) = θ (0, t) = θ x (1, t) = 0. Therefore the conclusions in Theorem 7.1.1 also hold for the above boundary conditions. The main purpose of this chapter is to show that the solution of the problem (7.1.1)– (7.1.4) exists globally in time and is exponentially stable. The main difﬁculties to prove our results arise from the complication of nonlinearities in the system, thermal memory effect and a point-wise term. To overcome these difﬁculties, we use multiplicative techniques, an inequality related to the point-wise term and some technical ideas involving positive kernels and delicate estimates.

Chapter 7. A Nonlinear One-dimensional Thermoelastic System

7.2 Global Existence and Exponential Stability In this section we will show global existence as well as exponential stability of the solution, that is, we prove Theorem 7.1.1. We introduce the deﬁnitions of a (strongly) positive deﬁnite kernel. Deﬁnition 7.2.1. A function b(t) ∈ L 1loc [0, +∞) is said to be positive deﬁnite (or of positive type) if for any w ∈ C[0, +∞) and every T > 0, there holds T w(t)(b ∗ w)(t)dt ≥ 0 (7.2.1) 0

where

(b ∗ w)(t) =

t 0

b(t − τ )w(τ )dτ.

(7.2.2)

Deﬁnition 7.2.2. A function b(t) ∈ L 1loc [0, +∞) is said to be strongly positive deﬁnite if there is an ε > 0 such that the function t → b(t) − εe−t is positive deﬁnite. Equivalently, for any φ ∈ L 1loc [0, +∞) and every T > 0, there holds where Q(φ, T, b) =

T 0

Q(φ, T, e) ≤ C Q(φ, T, b) φ(t)(b ∗ φ)(t)dt and e = e−t , C = ε−1 .

As the terminology suggests, strongly positive deﬁnite implies positive deﬁnite. These deﬁnitions are easy to check directly. Using transform techniques we can readily show that (see also, e.g., Renardy, Hrusa and Nohel [361], and Staffans [393–395]) Lemma 7.2.1. The kernel b(t) ∈ L 1 (0, +∞) is (strongly) positive deﬁnite if and only if (resp., there exists a constant C0 ) such that C0 ˆ ˆ , ∀ w ∈ (−∞, +∞) (7.2.3) Re b(i w) ≥ 0 resp., Re b(i w) ≥ 1 + w2 +∞ ˆ ˆ where b(w) is the Laplace transform of b, i.e., b(w) = 0 e−wt b(t)dt. From the viewpoint of applications, it is useful to know that certain types of sign conditions guarantee strong positive deﬁniteness. More precisely, we have Corollary 7.2.1. If b ∈ C 2 [0, +∞) and (−1) j b( j )(t) ≥ 0, ∀t ≥ 0, j = 0, 1, 2; b ≡ 0,

(7.2.4)

then b is strongly positive deﬁnite. On the other hand, even if b is assumed to be very smooth, strong positive deﬁniteness of b does not imply that (7.2.4) holds. It does not even imply that b ≥ 0 on [0, +∞). Indeed, it is easy to verify that the function b given by b(t) = e−t cos t satisﬁes (7.2.3) with C0 > 0 and hence is strongly positive deﬁnite.

(7.2.5)

7.2. Global Existence and Exponential Stability

343

As the above example shows, strong positive deﬁniteness does not imply any global sign conditions. However, if a strongly positive deﬁnite function is sufﬁciently regular, then statements can be made regarding its point-wise behavior near zero. In particular, if b, b , b ∈ L 1 [0, +∞), b is strongly positive deﬁnite

(7.2.6)

b(0) > 0, b (0) < 0.

(7.2.7)

then

That (7.2.6) implies b(0) > 0 follows from (7.2.3) and the inversion formula 1 +∞ ˆ w)dw. Re b(i b(0) = π −∞

To see that (7.2.6) implies b (0) < 0, observe that ˆ w) = −b (0) lim w2 Re b(i

w→∞

as can be veriﬁed using two integrations by parts and the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma. This limit must be strictly positive by (7.2.3). ˆ ∈ L 1 (R+ ) is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel satisfying Lemma 7.2.2. Assume that k(t) 1 + kˆ (t) ∈ L (R ); then for any y(t) ∈ L 1loc (R+ ), it follows that t t |kˆ ∗ y(τ )|2 dτ ≤ β0 k1 y(τ ) kˆ ∗ y(τ )dτ (7.2.9) 0

which gives (7.2.9). We now introduce the deﬁnition of the resolvent of a kernel b(t). Deﬁnition 7.2.3. Let b(t) ∈ L 1 [0, +∞) satisfying f (t) − (b ∗ f )(t) = g

for some f, f g ∈ L 1loc [0, +∞). The function r (t) is said to be the resolvent of −b(t) if and only if it solves r (t) + (b ∗ r )(t) = −b(t), ∀t ≥ 0 and

f (t) = g(t) + (r ∗ g)(t),

∀t ≥ 0.

With the same assumptions as in Theorem 7.1.1, we can show that the problem (7.1.1)–(7.1.4) admits a unique local solution (u(t), θ (t)) such that u(t) ∈

(7.2.15) (7.2.16)

where [0, Tm ) is the maximal existence interval of solution (u(t), θ (t)) (see, Renardy, Hrusa and Nohel [361]). Therefore, in order to obtain a global smooth solution we need to show that

provided that δ is small enough. ˜ ˜ k˜ (t) decay exponenProof. Note that (7.1.9) implies k(t), k˜ (t) ∈ L 1 [0, +∞) and k(t), tially. This implies by the standard theory for Volterra equations (see, e.g., Dafermos [68], Renardy, Hrusa and Nohel [361], Staffans [393–395]) that l(t), l (t) ∈ L 1 [0, +∞) and l(t), l (t) decay exponentially. Thus (7.2.29) follows. To facilitate our analysis let us introduce the linear problem t − μx x

in (0, 1) × [0, Tm ), (7.2.30) Vt t − Vx x + αx = F − γ k˜ ∗ x x + βV Vt x = G in (0, 1) × [0, Tm ), (7.2.31) V (x, 0) = V0 , Vt (x, 0) = V1 , (x, 0) = 0 , V (0, t) = V (1, t) = (0, t) = (1, t) = 0.

Without loss of generality we assume that α > 0, β > 0. In what follows we will study the asymptotic behavior of the linearized system (7.2.30)–(7.2.31). To this end we deﬁne the functions 1 1 2 E 1 (t; V, ) = (V V + Vx2 + αβ −1 2 )d x, (7.2.32) 2 0 t 1 1 2 (V V + Vt2x + αβ −1 2t )d x, (7.2.33) E 2 (t; V, ) = 2 0 tt 1 1 2 (V V + Vx2x + αβ −1 2x )d x.

Let us take (w0 , w1 , f1 ) ∈ H01(0, L) ∩ H 2(0, L) × H01(0, L) × H 1(0, T ; L 2 (0, L)) and let w be the solution of the problem wt t − w x x = f 1

Proof. Multiplying (7.2.38) by (x − L/2)wx and integrating it over [0, L], we have L L L (x − L/2)wt t wx d x − (x − L/2)wx x wx d x = (x − L/2) f 1 vx d x. (7.2.42) 0

Since wt (0, t) = wt (L, t) = 0, a straightforward calculation yields L L L d (x − L/2)wt t wx d x = (x − L/2)wt wx d x − (x − L/2)wt wxt d x dt 0 0 0 L 1 L 2 d (x − L/2)wt wx d x + wt d x. (7.2.43) = dt 0 2 0 On the other hand, we derive L 1 L (x − L/2)wx x wx d x = (x − L/2)d(w2x ) 2 0 0 1 L 2 L 2 2 wx d x. = [wx (L, t) + wx (0, t)] − 4 2 0

(7.2.44)

Thus (7.2.41) follows from (7.2.42)–(7.2.44). Motivated by Lemma 7.2.4 we deﬁne the functional 1 1 x− Vt x Vt t d x. E 4 (t; V ) = − 2 0

(7.2.45)

By equation (7.2.18) and Lemma 7.2.4, we easily get 1 1 2 1 d E 4 (t; V ) = − Vt2x (0, t) + Vt2x (1, t) + (V V + Vt2t )d x dt 4 2 0 tx 1 1 1 1 t x Vt x d x − Ft Vt x d x. (7.2.46) x− x− +α 2 2 0 0 Now we introduce the functions 1 Vt x d x, E 5 (t; V, ) = 0

Thus by Poincar´e´ ’s inequality, we have n(t; V, ) ≤ Cm(t; V, )

˜ is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel if δ is small enough, that is, Noting that k(t) ˜ there is δ1 < δ0 , when δ ∈ (0, δ1 ), k(t) is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel, and by (7.2.23)–(7.2.24) and Lemma 7.2.2, there is a positive constant k1∗ , independent of δ, such ˆ ˜ that when k(t) = k(t) in Lemma 7.2.2, k1 ≡ k1 (δ) ≤ k1∗ and β0 ≡ β0 (δ) ≤ β0∗ ≡ max β0 (δ).

(7.2.61)

Thus from (7.2.35)–(7.2.37), (7.2.51), (7.2.59)–(7.2.60) and Cauchy’s inequality, relation (7.2.52) follows. By equation (7.2.40), Cauchy’s inequality and choosing N1 , N2 large enough, we know that there exist positive constants γ0 and γ1 such that (7.2.53) holds. The proof is complete. Now deﬁne

(7.2.63)

By the smallness condition of initial data, we have N (0; u, θ ) < 2 .

(7.2.64)

Using equations (7.2.7)–(7.2.8) and (7.2.64), there exists a constant β3 > 1 such that N (0; v, φ) ≤ β3 N (0; u, θ ) < β3 2 from which it follows that there exists a constant β4 > 0 such that n(0; v, φ) + n(0; vt , φt ) < β4 2 .

(7.2.65)

From (7.2.23)–(7.2.24) it follows that there exists a constant α1 > 0, independent of δ, such that

(7.2.67)

Then we have either t1 = Tm or t1 < Tm . We will show that the latter case will not happen. To this end, we assume that t1 < Tm . By Sobolev’s embedding theorem and (7.2.66)–(7.2.67), we obtain |vx (x, t)| + |φ(x, t)| + |φx (x, t)| + |φt (x, t)| ≤ C7 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1) (7.2.68) which implies |u x (x, t)| + |θ (x, t)| + |θθx (x, t)| + |θt (x, t)| ≤ C8 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ). (7.2.69) Thus if is small enough, we have |u x (x, t)| + |θ (x, t)| + |θθ x (x, t)| < ρ0 . Deﬁne ν=

where ∂ ρ denotes the partial derivatives of order |ρ|. Recalling the deﬁnitions of ηi and Wi and using the inequalities above, we deduce W j | ≤ C9 , j = 1, . . . , 5, |ηi | ≤ C9 , i = 1, 2; |W t k(t − τ )W W5 θx x dτ ≤ C9 |k˜ ∗ φx x |e−δt , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 )

with C9 = C9 (ν) > 0 being a constant. By Nirenberg’s inequality and (7.2.67), we easily derive that |vt x (x, t)| + |vt t (x, t)| + |φt x (x, t)| ≤ C10 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ) which, together with (7.2.58), implies |u t x (x, t)| + |u t t (x, t)| + |θt x (x, t)| ≤ C11 , ∀(x , t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ).

(7.2.73)

7.2. Global Existence and Exponential Stability

353

By equation (7.2.36), (7.2.68)–(7.2.72) and (7.2.35), we get |vx x (x, t)| ≤ C + C(|u x x (x, t)| + |θθx (x, t)|)eδt ≤ C + C|vx x (x, t)| which implies |vx x (x, t)| + |u x x (x, t)|eδt ≤ C12 , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ).

(7.2.74)

Similarly, it follows from (7.2.37), (7.2.38) and Lemma 7.2.3 that

φx x (t) L ∞ ≤ C sup g1 (τ ) L ∞ ≤ C + C sup g(τ ) L ∞ τ ∈[0,t ]

τ ∈[0,t ]

≤ C + C sup φx x (τ ) L ∞ τ ∈[0,t ]

which yields

θθx x (t) L ∞ + sup φx x (τ ) L ∞ ≤ C13 , ∀t ∈ [0, t1 ) τ ∈[0,t ]

provided that is small enough. Noting that

vx x x (t) 2 ≤ C[N N1 (t; v, φ) + φx x (t) 2 ] + C 2 vx x x (t) 2 which gives N1 (t; v, φ) + φx x (t) 2 ) ≤ 2 , ∀t ∈ [0, t1 ),

vx x x (t) 2 ≤ C(N

(7.2.76)

provided that is small enough. Similarly, differentiating (7.2.37) with respect to x and using (7.2.69), (7.2.71)–(7.2.76), we get

G x (t) 2 ≤ C( 2 + δ 2 ) N1 (t; v, φ) + φx x (t) 2 + φx x x (t) 2

(7.2.77) + (k˜ ∗ φx x )(t) 2 + (k˜ ∗ φx x x )(t) 2 ,

φx x x (t) 2 ≤ C N1 (t; v, φ) + G x (t) 2 + (k˜ ∗ φx x x )(t) 2 , which imply

φx x x (t) 2 ≤ C N1 (t; v, φ)+ φx x (t) 2 + (k˜ ∗φx x )(t) 2 + (k˜ ∗φx x x )(t) 2 (7.2.78)

Proof. We only consider the case of (V, ) = (vt , φt ) and F = Ft to prove (7.2.79). The case of (V, ) = (v, φ) and F = F is simple. By (7.2.9) and noting that Ft t = ft t eδt + 2δδ f t eδt + δ 2 f eδt + 2δvt t t − δ 2 vt , f t t = η1t t u x x + 2η1t u x xt + η1 u x xt t + η2t t θx + 2η2t θxt + η2 θxt t , η1t t = (u xt , θt )Hη1 (u xt , θt )τ + ∇η1 · (u xt t , θt t ), η1t = ∇η1 · (u xt , θt ), we have

eδt f t (t) ≤ C + δ)( vx x (t) + vx xt (t) + φx (t) + φt x (t) . 1 1 Here we only estimate the typical term in 0 f t t vt t t eδt d x, that is, 0 η1 u x xt t vt t t eδt d x. 1 Using (7.2.69) and (7.2.71)–(7.2.75), the other terms in 0 f t t vt t t eδt can be controlled by C( + δ)m(t; vt , φt ) in the same way. Noting that u x xt t eδt = vx xt t − 2δvx xt + δ 2 vx x ,

vt t t (t) 2 ≤ C( vt x x (t) 2 + vx x (t) 2 + φx (t) 2 + φxt (t) 2 ), and using integration by parts, we arrive at

7.3 Bibliographic Comments For the classical 1D thermoelastic model (7.1.1)–(7.1.3) without any thermal memory (i.e., k(t) = 0), Slemrod [378] proved the global existence and asymptotic stability of small solutions with Neumann-Dirichlet (u x |x=0,1 = θ |x=0,1 = 0) or Dirichlet-Neumann (u|x=0,1 = θx |x=0,1 = 0) boundary conditions. Racke and Shibata [352] proved the global existence and polynomial decay of small smooth solutions with Dirichlet-Dirichlet ( u|x=0,1 = θ |x=0,1 = 0) boundary conditions, and later for this type of boundary conditions, Racke, Shibata and Zheng [353] further proved the exponential stability of small smooth solutions. Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [340] established the global existence and asymptotic behavior of thermoelastic systems of type II with a thermal memory. We also refer the readers to Burns, Liu and Zheng [46], Dafermos [67], Dafermos and Hsiao [78], Hale and Perissinotto [136], Hansen [137], Hoffmann and Zochowski [153], Hrusa and Messaoudi [155], Hrusa and Tarabek [156], Jiang, Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera and Racke [172], Jiang and Racke [173], Kim [198], Kirane and Kouachi and Tatar [199], Kirane and Tatar [200], Lebeau and Zuazua [216], Liu and Zheng [238, 240], Messaoudi ˜ Rivera [274, 275], Mu˜noz ˜ Rivera and Barreto [277], Mu˜noz ˜ Rivera and [260], Munoz Oliveira [278], Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera and Qin [279], Qin [315], Qin and Mu˜noz ˜ Rivera [341],

Chapter 8

One-dimensional Thermoelastic Equations of Hyperbolic Type In this chapter, we shall introduce some results on the global existence and exponential stability of solutions to a class of 1D thermoelastic equations of hyperbolic type, which models the thermoelastic system of type II with a thermal memory. The results of this chapter are chosen from Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [340].

8.1 Global Existence This chapter is concerned with the global existence, uniqueness and exponential stability of solutions to thermoelastic equations of hyperbolic type u t t − σ (u x )x + αθθx = 0, in [0, 1] × [0, +∞), θt − k ∗ θx x + βu xt = 0, in [0, 1] × [0, +∞)

(8.1.1) (8.1.2)

subject to the initial conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x),

u t (x, 0) = u 1 (x),

θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x),

∀ ∈ [0, 1] ∀x

(8.1.3)

∀t ≥ 0.

(8.1.4)

and the boundary conditions u(0, t) = u(1, t) = 0, θ x (0, t) = θ x (1, t) = 0,

Here by u = u(x, t) and θ = θ (x, t) we denote the displacement and the temperature difference respectively. By σ = σ (s) we denote a nonlinear function and k = k(t) t is the relaxation kernel. The sign ∗ denotes the convolution product, i.e., k ∗ y(·, t) = 0 k(t − τ )y(·, τ )dτ . Finally α and β are constants satisfying αβ > 0.

364

Chapter 8. One-dimensional Thermoelastic Equations of Hyperbolic Type

The aim of this chapter is to establish the global existence and exponential stability of “small” solutions to problem (8.1.1)–(8.1.4). Now let us explain some difﬁculties in deriving our results. When deriving exponential decay (or stability) of solution (or energy), ˜ we usually strive to construct a functional L(t), equivalent to the energy, satisfying ˜ L˜ (t) + λ L(t) ≤ g(t)

(8.1.5)

where λ > 0 is a constant and g(t) is an exponential function. But in our case, due to involving the kernel terms, we conclude that the energy is not necessarily a decreasing function which in particular means that inequality (8.1.5) is not possible to achieve. To overcome this difﬁculty, we in advance make the following exponential transforms in t: ˜ k(t) := eδt k(t), and v(x, t) = eδt u(x, t), φ(x, t) = eδt θ (x, t) with a small parameter δ > 0 (see (8.2.5) and (8.2.9)), then we study the new transformed problem (see, e.g., (8.2.13)–(8.2.14)) and we prove that it admits a unique global solution which is uniformly bounded (the bounded constants are independent of any length of time). This implies the global existence and exponential stability of solutions to the original problem (8.1.1)–(8.1.4). To show the uniform bound of the new system, we use some multiplicative techniques and the fact that the relaxation kernel is a strongly positive deﬁnite. Throughout this chapter we assume that σ = σ (s) is a C 3 function in a neighborhood of s = 0, say, O = {s ∈ R : |s| < 1}, satisfying σ (0) > 0

(8.1.6)

and concerning the kernel we assume that k(t) ∈ C 1 (R+ ) and that k(t) is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel; additionally we assume that there exist positive constants c0 ≤ c1 such that (8.1.7) k(t) > 0, k (t) + c0 k(t) ≤ 0 ≤ k (t) + c1 k(t), ∀t ≥ 0. By u 2 and θ1 we denote u 2 := [σ (u x )x − αθθx ]|t =0 = σ (u 0x )x − αθ0x , θ1 := −βu xt |t =0 = −βu 1,x satisfying the compatibility conditions u 0 = u 1 = u 2 = θ0x = θ1x = 0

at x = 0, x = 1.

(8.1.8)

For the initial data we assume that (u 0 , u 1 , u 2 ) ∈ H 3(0, 1)× H 2(0, 1)× H 1(0, 1), (θ0 , θ1 ) ∈ H 2(0, 1)× H 1(0, 1) (8.1.9) and

(8.1.15)

Remark 8.1.1. If equation (8.1.1) is replaced by the more general version of equation u t t − S(u x , θ )x = 0, we can rewrite this equation as u t t − au x x + bθθx = f where S = S(u x , θ ) is the Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor and ∂S ∂S f = (u x , θ ) + b θx , (u x , θ ) − a u x x + ∂u x ∂θ ∂S ∂S a= (0, 0), b = − (0, 0). ∂u x ∂θ

(8.1.16)

(8.1.17) (8.1.18)

Assume that S = S(u x , θ ) ∈ C 3 in a neighborhood of (0, 0), say, |u x | ≤ 1, |θ | ≤ 1, and a > 0, b = 0 and (8.1.7)–(8.1.10) hold. Then the conclusion in Theorem 8.1.1 also holds.

8.2 Global Existence and Exponential Stability In this section we shall prove Theorem 8.1.1 whose proof is based on a priori estimates which we use to continue a local solution globally in time. The existence of a local solution to problem (8.1.1)–(8.1.4) under the assumptions in Theorem 8.1.1 can be established by a standard contraction mapping argument and we omit details here.

Without loss of generality, we suppose that σ (0) = 1 and α > 0, β > 0. In order to obtain a global solution we need to show that u(t) H 3 (0,1) + u t (t) H 2 (0,1) + θ (t) H 2 (0,1) + θt (t) H 1 (0,1) ≤ C, ∀t ≥ 0. (8.2.1) To this end we reduce system (8.1.1)–(8.1.2) to u t t − u x x − αθθx = ηu x x θt − k ∗ θx x + βu t x = 0

(8.2.2) (8.2.3)

where η = σ (u x ) − σ (0) = σ (u x ) − 1. It follows from (8.1.7) that the kernel k(t) satisﬁes that for any t ≥ 0, k(0)e−c1 t ≤ k(t) ≤ k(0)e−c0 t ≤ k(0).

(8.2.4)

Thus we can choose δ ∈ δ0 ≡ (0, min(1, c0 /2)) such that for any t ≥ 0, c0

To prove (8.2.1), it sufﬁces to show that the solution (v(t), φ(t)) is bounded in H 3 × H 2. We easily get from (8.2.3) and (8.2.14)–(8.2.15) 1 1 θ (x, t)d x = φ(x, t)d x = 0, ∀t ≥ 0 (8.2.17) 0

In fact, it is obvious from (8.1.8), (8.2.9), (8.2.14)–(8.2.15) and (8.2.18) that (8.2.21) ˜ is satisﬁed if ( , G) = (φ, g) or ( , G) = (φt , gt + k(t)φ 0x x ). Thus it follows from (8.2.14), (8.2.16), (8.2.18) and (8.2.21) that when (V, ) = (v, φ), (F, G) = ( f, f g) or ˜ (V , ) = (vt , φt ), (F, G) = (φt , gt + k(t)φ 0x x ), 1 1 1

where C3 = min {β/16, k(0)a1/4, k(0)a2 /4}. In view of (8.1.7), (8.2.22) and Poincar´e´ ’s inequality, we have

1 0

k˜ ∗ t d x = 0, k˜ ∗ t ≤ C k˜ ∗ t x ≤ C k˜ ∗ t x .

(8.2.41)

Thus it follows from (8.2.26)–(8.2.28) and (8.2.40)–(8.2.41) that there is a constant C4 > 0 such that the inequality (8.2.31) holds. From the deﬁnition of L(t; V, ), we easily

372

Chapter 8. One-dimensional Thermoelastic Equations of Hyperbolic Type

know that there exist constants β1 , β2 , β3 > 0 and a sufﬁciently large constant N > N0 such that (8.2.32) and (8.2.33) hold. The proof is complete. Now we deﬁne M(t; v, φ) = n(t; v, φ) + n(t; vt , φt ) + φx x (t) 2 . Differentiating (8.2.20) with respect to t, we arrive at φt t − k(0)φx x − k˜ ∗ φx x + βvt t x = gt which, combined with (8.2.6) and (8.2.20), yields φx x (t) 2 ≤ C( φt t (t) 2 + vt t x (t) 2 + k˜ ∗ φx x (t) 2 + gt (t) 2 ) ≤ C φt t (t) 2 + vt t x (t) 2 + φt (t) 2 + vt x (t) 2 + g(t) 2 + gt (t) 2 ≤ C5 [n(t; v, φ) + n(t; vt , φt )].

(8.2.42)

Thus n(t; v, φ) + n(t; vt , φt ) ≤ M(t; v, φ) ≤ C6 (n(t; v, φ) + n(t; vt , φt ).

(8.2.43)

By (8.2.6) and noting that (k˜ ∗ φt )t = k(0)φt + k˜ ∗ φt , we easily obtain d ˜ k ∗ φt 2 + k˜ ∗ φt t 2 + k˜ ∗ φx 2 + k˜ ∗ φt x 2 (8.2.44) dt C3 ≤ C7 k˜ ∗ φt x 2 + k˜ ∗ φt t x 2 + k˜ ∗ φx 2 + φt t 2 + φx 2 + φt x 2 . 8C6 β3 By the smallness condition of initial data (8.1.11) and (8.1.1)–(8.1.2), there is a constant α1 > 1, independent of δ, such that M(0; u, θ ) < α1 2 .

(8.2.45)

Using equations (8.2.13)–(8.2.14) and (8.2.9)–(8.2.11), there exists a constant α2 > 1, independent of δ, such that n(0; v, φ) + n(0; vt , φt ) ≤ M(0; v, φ) ≤ α2 M(0; u, θ ) < α1 α2 2

(8.2.46)

which leads to v0 2H 2 + v1 2H 2 + v2 2H 1 + φ0 2H 2 + φ1 2H 1 ≤ α1 α2 2 .

(8.2.47)

We infer from (8.2.5)–(8.2.6) and (8.2.47) that there exists a constant η0 > 0, independent of δ, such that +∞ λ3 (k˜ (t))2 ( φ0x 2 + φ1x 2 ) + [λ1 (k˜ (t))2 + λ2 k˜ 2 (t)] φ0x x 2 dt < η0 2 0

Using the continuity of the solution it follows that there exists some t0 ∈ [0, Tm ) such that M(t; v, φ) ≤ α0 2 , ∀t ∈ [0, t0 ) (8.2.49) where α0 = α1 α2 + 4C6 α3 /β1 , α3 = α1 α2 (β1 + β2 )/2 + k 2 (0)α1 α2 [2(β2 + β3 ) + N 2 α 2 C5 /(β1 β 2 )] + η0 . t1 = sup τ1 > 0 : M(t; v, φ) ≤ α0 2 in [0, τ1 ) .

(8.2.50)

Then we have either t1 = Tm or t1 < Tm . In the former case, (v(t), φ(t)) with its corresponding derivatives are bounded in the L 2 -norm for any t ∈ [0, Tm ). Thus, by Theorem 8.2.1, Tm = +∞. We will show that the latter case will not happen. To this end, we now assume that t1 < Tm . By Sobolev’s embedding theorem and (8.2.50), we obtain that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ), |vx (x, t)| + |φ(x, t)| + |φx (x, t)| + |φt (x, t)| ≤ C9

(8.2.51)

which implies that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ), |u x (x, t)| + |θ (x, t)| + |θθ x (x, t)| + |θt (x, t)| ≤ C10 e−δt .

(8.2.53)

with C11 = C11 (ν) > 0 being a constant. By (8.2.50)–(8.2.53), we easily derive that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ), |vt (x, t)| + |vt x (x, t)| + |vt t (x, t)| ≤ C12

which, together with (8.2.10)–(8.2.12), implies that for any (x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ), |u t (x, t)| + |u t x (x, t)| + |u t t (x, t)| ≤ C13 e−δt .

Chapter 8. One-dimensional Thermoelastic Equations of Hyperbolic Type

By equation (8.2.13), (8.2.51) and (8.2.53)–(8.2.54), we get |vx x (x, t)| ≤ | f (x, t)| + |φx (x, t)| + |vt t (x, t)| ≤ C + C |vx x (x, t)| which gives |vx x (x, t)| ≤ C14 , |u x x (x, t)| ≤ C14 e−δt , ∀(x, t) ∈ [0, 1] × [0, t1 ).

(8.2.55)

Similarly, differentiating (8.2.13) with respect to x, we conclude that vx x x (t) 2 ≤ C[M(t; v, φ) + f x (t) 2 ] ≤ CM(t; v, φ) + C 2 vx x x (t) 2 which gives that for any t ∈ [0, t1 ), vx x x (t) 2 ≤ CM(t; v, φ) ≤ C15 2 , u x x x (t) 2 ≤ C15 2 e−δt

In the next two lemmas we will estimate each term in R(t; V, ) for the cases of both (V, ) = (v, φ), (F, G) = ( f, f g) and (V , ) = (vt , φt ), (F, G) = ( ft , gt + ˜ ), respectively. k(t)φ 0x x Lemma 8.2.2.

(8.2.72)

Letting t → t1 in (8.2.72), we have M(t1 ; v, φ) ≤ (α0 − α1 α2 ) 2 < α0 2 which is contradictory to the deﬁnition of t1 , (8.2.50). Thus we conclude that t1 = Tm = +∞ and all the estimates above are valid for any t > 0. Note that M(t; v, φ) is equivalent to the third-order full energy E(t; v, φ) := E 1 (t; v, φ) + E 2 (t; v, φ) + E 3 (t; v, φ) + E 2 (t; vt , φt ) + E 3 (t; vt , φt ), that is, −1 C17 M(t; v, φ) ≤ E(t; v, φ) ≤ C17 M(t; v, φ), ∀t > 0.

(8.2.73)

On the other hand, it is easy to verify that −1 C18 M(t; u, θ )e2δt ≤ M(t; v, φ) ≤ C18 M(t; u, θ )e2δt , ∀t > 0.

(8.2.74)

In fact, note that {E 1 (t; v, φ), E 2 (t; v, φ), E 3 (t; v, φ), E 2 (t; vt , φt ), E 3 (t; vt , φt )} is equivalent to e2δt E 1 (t; u, θ ), e2δt E 2 (t; u, θ ), e2δt E 3 (t; u, θ ), e2δt E 2 (t; u t , θt ), e2δt E 3 (t; u t , θt ) . Thus (8.2.74) follows from (8.2.73). By (8.2.72) and (8.2.56), we have M(t; u, θ ) ≤ CM(t; v, φ)e−2δt ≤ Ce−2δt , ∀t > 0, 2 −2δt

Differentiating (8.1.1)–(8.1.2) with respect to t respectively and using (8.2.75) and (8.2.78), we have u t t t (t) 2 ≤ CM(t; u, θ ) ≤ Ce−2δt , θt t (t) 2 ≤ C(M(t; u, θ ) + k ∗ θx x 2 ) ≤ Ce−2δt .

(8.2.81) Thus (u(t), θ (t)) and (v(t), φ(t)) are uniformly bounded in H 3 × H 2, therefore problem (8.1.1)–(8.1.4) admits a unique global solution (u(t), θ (t)) in H 3 × H 2 and the estimate (8.1.15) follows from (8.2.75)–(8.2.76) and (8.2.78)–(8.2.81) with C2 = 2δ. The proof of Theorem 8.1.1 is now complete.

8.3 Bibliographic Comments Since the pioneer work of Dafermos [74] on the existence, differentiability and asymptotic stability of solutions to the system of linear thermoelasticity, signiﬁcant progress has been made on the mathematical aspects in this direction. Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [274] established the decay rate of energy in one-dimensional linear thermoelasticity obeying Fourier’s law without any memory effect. Concerning the nonlinear one-dimensional thermoelastic model obeying Fourier’s law without any thermal memory, Slemrod [378] proved the global existence and asymptotic stability of small solutions with NeumannDirichlet ( u x |x=0,1 = θ |x=0,1 = 0) or Dirichlet-Neumann (i.e. (8.1.4)) boundary conditions. Racke and Shibata [352] proved the global existence and polynomial decay of small smooth solutions with Dirichlet-Dirichlet ( u|x=0,1 = θ |x=0,1 = 0) boundary conditions, and later for this type of boundary conditions, Racke, Shibata and Zheng [353] showed the exponential stability of small global smooth solutions by using a similar idea as in [274]. Munoz ˜ Rivera and Barreto [277] improved the results in [353] for small initial data (u 0 , u 1 ) in the H 2 × H 1 norm. Recently, Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera and Qin [279] (see also Chapter 7) established the global existence and exponential stability of small solutions to a nonlinear one-dimensional thermoelastic model obeying Fourier’s law with thermal memory subject to Dirichlet and mixed boundary conditions at the endpoints. For other thermoelastic models, we refer the readers to Section 7.3.

Chapter 9

Blow-up for the Cauchy Problem in Nonlinear One-dimensional Thermoelasticity 9.1 Introduction In this chapter we study the blow-up phenomena of solutions in a ﬁnite time to the following Cauchy problem with a non-autonomous forcing term and a thermal memory: u t t = au x x + bθθx + du x − mu t + f (t, u), cθt = κθθx x + g ∗ θx x + bu xt + pu x + qθθx

u t (x, 0) = u 1 (x),

θ (x, 0) = θ0 (x),

∀ ∈ R. ∀x

(9.1.3)

Here by u = u(x, t) and θ = θ (x, t) we denote the displacement and the temperature difference respectively. The function g = g(t) isthe relaxation kernel and the sign ∗ t denotes the convolution product, i.e., g ∗ y(·, t) = 0 g(t − τ )y(·, τ )dτ . The coefﬁcients a, b, c are positive constants, while d, κ, p, q, m are non-negative constants. The function f = f (t, u) is a non-autonomous forcing term. The aim of this chapter is to establish the blow-up results for a nonlinear onedimensional thermoelastic system with a non-autonomous forcing term and a thermal memory when the heat ﬂux obeys both Fourier’s law and Gurtin and Pipkin’s law and hence the results in [200] have been extended. We organize the rest of this paper as follows: we deal with two cases in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 where the relaxation functions take the forms of (9.2.1) and (9.3.1) respectively

and the results of α = 0 are also established. Throughout this chapter, we assume that for any ﬁxed t > 0, f (t, u) is the Fr´e´ chet derivative of some functional F(t, u) such that d F(t, u) = Ft (t, u) + f (t, u)u t . dt

is a positive deﬁnite kernel. First we should note that there indeed exists a function g(t) ˜ to satisfy (9.2.1). To this end, we need Lemma 7.2.1. In fact, we ﬁrst take g(t) ∈ C 1 [0, +∞) verifying g (t) = −γ g(t) + c0 e−δt , g(0) > c0 γ −1

with δ > 0, γ > 0 and c0 ≥ 0 being constants and deﬁne G(t) = g(t) +

(9.2.3)

Then taking γ0 = min[γ , δ/2], we have G (t) = −γ g(t) − c0 e−βt ≤ −γ γ0 G(t) whence

g(t) ≤ G(t) ≤ G(0)e−γγ0 t ≡: c1 e−γγ0 t

Thus when 0 < α < δ, we easily obtain I1 (ω) =

(9.2.7)

Inserting (9.2.5) into (9.2.6)–(9.2.7) gives that for 0 < α < min[γ γ0 , δ], g(0)(γ − α) c0 ω c0 (γ − α) − I2 (ω) + I1 (ω) (9.2.8) 2 2 2 2 (γ − α) + ω (γ − α) + ω (γ − α)2 + ω2 [g(0)(γ − α) − c0 ]ω2 + g(0)(γ − α)(δ − α)2 + c0 (γ − α)(δ − α) . = [(γ − α)2 + ω2 ][(δ − α)2 + ω2 ]

J1 (ω) =

Thus picking α so small that

0 < α ≤ min δ, γ0 , [g(0)γ − c0 ]/g(0) ,

then we readily get from (9.2.8) J1 (ω) ≥

c > 0, ∀ω ∈ (−∞, +∞) 1 + ω2

which together with Lemma 7.2.1 implies that g(t) ˜ is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel verifying (9.2.1). In order to prove our results, we need to use Theorem 1.3.1 due to Kalantarov and Ladyzhenskaya [181] which was also proved in [200, 201, 220]. The energy for the system (9.1.1)–(9.1.2) is +∞ E(t) = [u 2t /2 + au 2x /2 − F(t, u) + cθ 2 /2]d x. (9.2.9) −∞

We obtain from (9.2.16)–(9.2.17) that 2 veriﬁes for 0 ≤ m ≤ α or m > 3α/2, 4ac(3α − 2m) 22 + 4ac(2α − m)(α − m) − cd 2 − ( p − bα)2 2 + (m − α)cd 2 ≥ 0 which further gives (9.2.30) and (9.2.28). Noting that ˜ 2 = 16a 2c2 α 2 + 16ac[cd 2 + ( p − bα)2 ] > 16a 2c2 α 2 > 0, (9.2.18) implies that for α < m < 3α/2,

which, again give (9.2.30) and (9.2.28). Similarly, (9.2.19) satisﬁes that for m = 3α/2, 4ac 22 − [acα 2 + cd 2 + ( p − bα)2 ] ≥ 0

which implies (9.2.30) and (9.2.28). Now inserting (9.2.22) into (9.2.27) gives ˜ v) − F˜t (t, v) ≤ 0. [ 2 − (m − 2α)](m − α)αv 2 + 2[ 2 − (m − 2α)] F(t, Thus it follows from (9.2.26)–(9.2.29), (9.2.35) and (9.2.1) that t ˜ ˜ ˜ )dτ. E(t) ≤ E(0) + 2( 2 + 2α − m) E(τ

which with (9.2.36) gives (9.2.21). The proof is complete.

Remark 9.2.1. It follows from the proof of Lemma 9.2.1 that assumptions (9.2.16)– (9.2.19) in case (ii) verify (9.2.30), so if we assume that there exists a constant 2 > 0 to verify (9.2.30), then the same conclusions as in Lemma 9.2.1 hold. ˜ Lemma 9.2.2. We assume that (9.2.1) holds and E(0) ≤ 0, κ > 0. If it holds that for any u ∈ R, t ≥ 0, 2(˜ 2 + α − m)F(t, u) + (˜ 2 + 2α − m)(m − α)αu 2 + ( p − bα)2 u 2 /(4κ) − Ft (t, u) − αu f (t, u) ≤ 0

where if d > 0 and if 0 ≤ m ≤ α or if m 2 − d 2 /a ≥ 0, α + ≤ α < m or 0 < α ≤ α − or if m 2 − d 2 /a < 0, 0 < α < m,

In fact, if d > 0, by (9.2.38) and (9.2.39), we know that ˜2 ≥ ˜2∗ implies (9.2.43)–(9.2.44) for the cases in (9.2.38). Noting that d = 0 implies ˜2∗ = m − 2α if m > 2α and ˜2∗ = 0 if m ≤ 2α, we can conclude (9.2.43)–(9.2.44). In a word, in all cases stated in (9.2.38)– (9.2.39), we always have (9.2.43)– (9.2.44).

We know from (9.2.79) and (9.2.80) that when 0 < δ2 ≤ δ2+ , γ > 0 or δ2 > δ2+ , γ ≥ γ + (δ2 ), (9.2.77)–(9.2.78) hold.

Noting that −∞ v 2 d x ≤ (t) and using (9.2.87) and (9.2.77)–(9.2.78), we arrive at (t) (t) − (1 + γ )( (t))2 (9.2.88) ˜ − β(1 + 2γ ) − A1 (t) . ≥ 2 (t) − [2(1 + 2γ ) + (2α − m)2 /(2δ2 )] E(0) ˜ If E(0) < 0, then we choose β > 0 and t0 > 0 so small that (9.2.82) and +∞ +∞ 1 + 1 − γ2 γ −1 β −1 [γ γ2 γ −1 −∞ u 20 d x + 2 −∞ u 0 (u 1 + αu 0 )d x] 0 < t0 < , −γ γ2 γ −1 (9.2.89) if A1 > 0, 0 < t0 , if A1 = 0

˜ hold. Thus (1.3.1)–(1.3.5) follow from (9.2.58)–(9.2.59) and (9.2.86). If E(0) = 0, we take β = 0 and can derive (1.3.1), (1.3.6)–(1.3.8) from (9.2.62)–(9.2.63) and (9.2.88). When (c)(2)(b) holds, the assumptions in (c)(2)(b) also satisfy (9.2.87) and (9.2.77)– (9.2.78). The rest of the proof is similar to that of case (c)(2)(a). The proof is now complete. Now we are in a position to state one main result in this chapter. Theorem 9.2.1. We assume that assumptions in Lemma 9.2.1 or in Lemma 9.2.2 and assumptions in Lemma 9.2.3 hold, then the solution v(t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.2.11)– (9.2.13) blows up in a ﬁnite time, that is, there exists some t1 > 0 such that

(9.2.91)

and further the solution u(t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3) blows up in a ﬁnite time, that is, +∞ lim u 2 (x, t)d x = +∞. (9.2.92) t →t1− −∞

Proof. By Lemma 9.2.1 or Lemma 9.2.2, we get ˜ ˜ E(t) ≤ E(0) ≤0 which along with Lemma 9.2.3 implies (1.3.1)–(1.3.5) or (1.3.1), (1.3.6)–(1.3.8) hold. Thus we can derive (9.2.91)–(9.2.92) from (9.2.1) and Theorem 1.3.1. The proof is complete. Now we study the problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3), that is, the case of α = 0. To this end, we summarize assumptions in Lemmas 9.2.1–9.2.3 which are satisﬁed by α = 0. Lemma 9.2.4. We assume that E(0) ≤ 0, and g(t) is a positive deﬁnite kernel. Then if one of the following assumptions holds, (1) when α = m = p = d = 0 and κ ≥ 0, it holds that for any u ∈ R and t > 0, 0 ≤ Ft (t, u),

(9.2.93)

(2) when d + p > 0, m = α = 0 and κ ≥ 0, there exists a constant 2 > 0 such that

(9.2.98)

Proof. The conclusions follow from (9.2.15) in (i), (9.2.19)–(9.2.20) in (ii) of Lemma 9.2.1 and (9.2.37)–(9.2.39) of Lemma 9.2.2 where α = 0. Here we have used the fact that ˜ when α = 0, E(t) = E(t), ∀t ≥ 0. The proof is now complete. Lemma 9.2.5. We suppose that g(t) is a positive deﬁnite kernel and for any t ≥ 0, E(t) ≤ E(0) ≤ 0 and initial data u 0 ∈ H 2(R), u 1 ∈ H 1(R), θ0 ∈ H 1(R)

(9.2.99)

and one of the following assumptions (I) and (II) holds, (I) when α = m = p = d = 0, there exists a positive constant γ ≥ 1 + b2 c/a − 1 /(4c), ∀u ∈ R, t > 0

9.3. Main Results – Case II

399

Proof. The conclusions follow from (9.2.46)–(9.2.50) in (I) and (9.2.51)–(9.2.52) in (II) of Lemma 9.2.3. The proof is complete. Based on Lemmas 9.2.3–9.2.4, we easily prove the following result. Theorem 9.2.2. Assume that assumptions in Lemmas 9.2.4–9.2.5 hold. Then the solution u(x, t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3) blows up in a ﬁnite time. Remark 9.2.2. When g(t) ≡ 0 and α = 0, the problem (9.2.11)–(9.2.13) is reduced to problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3). Thus our results extend those in [200].

9.3 Main Results – Case II In this section, we suppose that there exists a constant α > 0 such that g(t) ˆ = e−αt g(t)

(9.3.1)

is a positive deﬁnite kernel. Indeed there exists a kernel g(t) ˆ verifying (9.3.1). For example, if we take g(t) = e−λt with λ > α, then we can easily compute by integrating by parts, +∞ ˆ ˆ J1 (ω) = Re g(t) ˆ = e−αt g(t) cos ωtdt 0

c0 α+λ ≥ = 2 , ∀ω ∈ R ω + (λ − α)(λ + α) 1 + ω2

(9.3.2)

with 0 < c0 ≤ min[ λα+λ ˆ = 2 −α 2 , λ + α]. Thus it follows from Lemma 7.2.1 that g(t)

e−αt g(t) = e−(λ+α)t is a strongly positive deﬁnite kernel verifying (9.3.1). Corresponding to (9.3.1), we introduce v( ˆ x, t) = e−αt u(x, t), w( ˆ x, t) = e−αt θ (x, t).

Then vˆ and wˆ satisfy the system vˆt t = a vˆ x x + bwˆ x + d vˆ x − (m + 2α)vˆt − (m + α)α vˆ + fˆ(t, v), ˆ cwˆ t t = κ wˆ x x + gˆ ∗ wˆ x x + bvˆ xt + (αb + p)vˆ x + q wˆ x − αcw, t = 0 : vˆ = vˆ0 (x) = u 0 (x), vˆt = vˆ1 (x) = u 1 (x) − αu 0 (x), wˆ = wˆ 0 (x) = θ0 (x) ˆ The corresponding energy is with fˆ(t, v) = e−αt f (t, eαt v). +∞ ˆ ˆ v) E(t) = (m + α)α vˆ 2 /2 + vˆt2 /2 + a vˆ x2 /2 − F(t, ˆ + cwˆ 2 /2 d x −∞

(9.3.13)

Proof. A direct computation from (9.3.8) gives Fˆt (t, v) ˆ = e−2αt [−2α F(t, u) + Ft (t, u) + αu f (t, u)]

(9.3.14)

Clearly, (9.3.10) and (9.3.14) give (9.3.18).

If E(0) = 0, ˆ we take β = 0 and can use (9.3.43)–(9.3.44) and (9.3.63) to deduce (1.3.1)–(1.3.5) or (1.3.1), (1.3.6)–(1.3.8). The proof is complete. Thus exploiting Theorem 1.3.1 and Lemmas 9.3.1–9.3.2, we readily prove the following result. Theorem 9.3.1. Assume that assumptions in Lemmas 9.3.1–9.3.2 hold. Then the solution v( ˆ t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.3.4)–(9.3.6) blows up in a ﬁnite time and further the solution u(x, t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3) blows up in a ﬁnite time. From the proofs of Lemmas 9.3.1–9.3.2 and Theorem 3.1, we easily prove the following results. Lemma 9.3.3. Assume that g(t) is a positive deﬁnite kernel and E(0) ≤ 0, κ ≥ 0 and assumptions (i)–(ii) (or (9.3.9)–(9.3.12)) with α = 0 in Lemma 9.3.2 hold; then E(t) ≤ E(0) ≤ 0, ∀t > 0.

(9.3.68)

ˆ Proof. Noting that when α = 0, E(t) = E(t), ∀t ≥ 0, we easily obtain the result. The proof is complete. Lemma 9.3.4. We suppose that for any t > 0, E(t) ≤ E(0) ≤ 0, and assumptions (9.3.31)–(9.3.37) and (9.3.39)–(9.3.44) with α = 0 hold. Then for β > 0 small enough and suitable t0 > 0 or β = 0, there exist constants C1 ≥ 0 and C2 ≥ 0 such that (1.3.1)–(1.3.5) or (1.3.1), (1.3.6)–(1.3.8) hold. Proof. Noting that when α = 0, (9.3.59) is automatically satisﬁed and so assumption (9.3.38) should be cancelled. Thus the result in this lemma readily follows from the proof of Lemma 9.3.2. The proof is complete. Based on Lemmas 9.3.3–9.3.4, we can show the following result. Theorem 9.3.2. Assume that assumptions in Lemmas 9.3.3–9.3.4 hold, then the solution u(x, t) in L 2 (R) to problem (9.1.1)–(9.1.3) blows up in a ﬁnite time. Remark 9.3.1. The results in Theorems 9.3.1–9.3.2 are new.

Chapter 9. Blow-up for the Cauchy Problem

9.4 Bibliographic Comments Concerning the non-existence results in the related literature, we refer to the works by Messaoudi [260], Kirane, Kouachi and Tatar [199], Kirane and Tatar [200] for the onedimensional case and Racke [348] for the three-dimensional case. In [200], the authors established the blow-up of weak solutions in L 2 (R) to the equations (9.1.1)–(9.1.2) where the kernel term g ∗ θ x x disappears and κ > 0. It should be noted that the method used in [200] depends heavily on a lemma (see, e.g., Theorem 1.3.1) due to Kalantarov and Ladyzhenskaya [181], which is in fact a compact version of the concavity method of Levine, Park, Pucci, Sacks and Serrin [220–226]. To the authors’ knowledge, there have been no new blow-up results on nonlinear models when the heat ﬂux obeys Gurtin and Pipkin’s law [133] mentioned above prior to the results of this chapter being established. For other thermoelastic models of types II and III, and those with second sound, we refer the readers to Section 7.3.

Chapter 10

Large-Time Behavior of Energy in Multi-Dimensional Elasticity In this chapter, we shall establish the large-time behavior of energy in multi-dimensional nonhomogeneous anisotropic elastic systems. The results of this chapter are picked from Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [338] and Qin, Deng and Su [327].

10.1 Polynomial Decay of Energy In this section we investigate the large-time behavior of energy for the n-dimensional linear nonhomogeneous anisotropic elastic system. We assume here that the boundary surface is nonporous and locally reacting in the sense that wave motion along the boundary is negligible. We also suppose that a small part of the boundary reacts to the excess pressure due to the wave like a resistant harmonic oscillator (see, e.g., Morse and Ingard [272], p. 263). Such a model can be regarded as an extension of the “classical” elastic theory. We denote by an open bounded domain of Rn with sufﬁciently smooth boundary ∂ = . If φ = φ(x, t) is the displacement vector ﬁeld, then the system in question reads φi − [ Ai j kl φk,l ], j = 0 i n × (0, +∞) (10.1.1) where i, j, k, l = 1, 2, . . . , n and φ(x, t) = (φ1 , . . . , φn ), f = ∂ f /∂ t, f, j = ∂ f /∂ x j , and we use Einstein’s convention on summing over repeated lower indices. We assume that the boundary ∂ = is divided into two parts, = 0 ∪ 1 with 0 ∩ 1 = ∅, 0 = ∅.

Chapter 10. Large-Time Behavior of Energy in Multi-Dimensional Elasticity

We suppose that 0 is not rigid and that each point reacts to excess pressure of a resistive harmonic oscillator, and that the different parts of the boundary do not inﬂuence each other, that is, the surface is locally reacting but subject to small oscillations. Under these conditions the normal displacement of 0 into the domain satisﬁes m i (x)i (x, t) + di (x)i (x, t) + ki (x)(x, t) = −ρφi (x, t) on

where μ = 1, 2, . . . , n. When n = 3, the boundary conditions (10.1.2)–(10.1.3) are called “acoustic boundary conditions” for the linear homogeneous wave equation for which Beale [26, 27] and Beale and Rosencrans [28] proved the global existence and regularity of solutions in a Hilbert space of data with ﬁnite energy by means of semi-group methods. The asymptotic behavior was obtained in [27, Theorem 2.6] but no decay rate was given there. This model is also used in [272, p. 263] for waves assumed to be at a deﬁnite frequency. The aim of this section is to establish the polynomial decay of the energy of problem (10.1.1)–(10.1.6) and extends the results in [280] to the case of a non-homogeneous anisotropic elastic system.

10.1.1 Main Results In this subsection we introduce the notation and main results of this section. Let us deﬁne the space H = (H H11 ())n × (L 2 ())n × (L 2 (0 ))n × (L 2 (0 ))n with H11 () = {u : u ∈ H 1(), u|1 = 0}. It is not difﬁcult to see that H together with the inner product u, w = (ρ Ai j kl u k,l wi, j + ρu n+ j wn+ j )d x + (kk j u 2n+ j w2n+ j + m j u 3n+ j w3n+ j )d0 0

(10.1.10)

is a Hilbert space, where u = (u 1 , u 2 , . . . , u 4n )τ , w = (w1 , w2 , . . . , w4n )τ ∈ H. Thus it follows from (10.1.8) that the induced norm on H by the above inner product 2 |u|H = (ρ Ai j kl u k,l u i, j + ρu n+ j u n+ j )d x + (kk j u 2n+ j u 2n+ j + m j u 3n+ j u 3n+ j )d0

is equivalent to the usual norm on H, u2H = (u i, j u i, j + u n+ j u n+ j )d x + (u 2n+ j u 2n+ j + u 3n+ j u 3n+ j )d0

for any u = (u 1 , . . . , u 4n )τ ∈ H.

Introduce an operator A on H so that for smooth U = (φ, φt , , t )τ = (φ1 , . . . , φn , φ1 , . . . , φn , 1 , . . . , n , 1 , . . . , n ) ∈ R4n , (10.1.1)–(10.1.4) are equivalent to U(t) ∈ D(A) and Ut = AU where U = (u 1 , . . . , u 4n )τ satisﬁes u i = φi , u n+i = φi , u 2n+i = i , u 3n+i = i , i = 1, 2, . . . , n and

In the deﬁnition of D(A), u 3n+i = Ai j kl u k,l ν j is in the weak sense that [(Ai j kl u k,l ), j + Ai j kl u k,l , j ]d x = u 3n+i d0 , ∀ ∈ H11 ()

is equivalent to the condition of u 3n+i = Ai j kl u k,l ν j on 0 and (Ai j kl u k,l ), j ∈ as a trace. It follows from (10.1.1)–(10.1.3) and (10.1.11) that u i = u n+i , u n+i = (Ai j kl φk,l ), j ,

u 2n+i = u 3n+i , u 3n+i = −(ρu n+i + di u 3n+i + ki u 2n+i )/m i

(10.1.12) (10.1.13) (10.1.14) (10.1.15)

where i = 1, 2, . . . , n and −(ρu n+i +di u 3n+i +ki u 2n+i )/m i is understood as the trace in H 1/2(0 ). For any U ∈ D(A), it is easy to get from (10.1.10)–(10.1.15) and the deﬁnition of D(A) that AU, U = (ρ Ai j kl u n+k,l u i, j + ρ(Ai j kl u k,l ), j u n+i )d x + [ki u 3n+i u 2n+i − m i (ρu n+i + di u 3n+i + ki u 2n+i )u 3n+i /m i ]d0 0 =ρ Ai j kl u n+k,l u i, j d x + ρ Ai j kl u k,l ν j u n+i d0 − ρ Ai j kl u k,l u n+i, j d x 0 + ki u 3n+i u 2n+i d0 − (ρu n+i + di u 3n+i + ki u 2n+i )u 3n+i d0 0 0 =− di u 3n+i u 3n+i d0 ≤ 0 (10.1.16) 0

which yields that A is dissipative on H. Thus, similar to the proofs in [26–28], we are able to get the following results on the global existence and regularity of solutions.

10.1. Polynomial Decay of Energy

Theorem 10.1.1. The operator A deﬁned on H is closed, densely deﬁned, and dissipative. It generates a C0 -semigroup on H. Theorem 10.1.2. Assume that U0 ∈ H is C ∞ and vanishes near ∂; let U(t) be the ¯ solution of U (t) = AU(t), t ≥ 0, with U(0) = U0 . Then u 1 (t), . . . , u 2n (t) ∈ C ∞ () ∞ and u 2n+1 (t), . . . , u 4n (t) ∈ C (0 ) for any t ≥ 0. Remark 10.1.1. “U vanishes near ∂ ” means u 2n+1 = · · · = u 4n = 0 on 0 , and u 1 , . . . , u 2n vanish near ∂. We introduce the energy functions 1 E0 (t; φ, ) = (ρφi φi + ρ Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )d x 2 1 + (ki (x)i i + m i (x)i i )d0 , 2 0 Eh (t) ≡ Eh (t; φ, ) = E0 (t; ∂th φ, ∂th ),

h = 1, 2, . . . .

(10.1.17) (10.1.18)

The main result of the paper is summarized in the following theorem. Theorem 10.1.3. Under the above assumptions and taking smooth initial data (φ 0 , φ 1 , 0 , 1 ) such that m+1 Eh (0) < ∞ (10.1.19) h=0

for some integer m ≥ 0, then constant C˜ such that

The notation in this chapter is standard. We also put · = · L 2 . We use C (sometimes C1 , C2 , . . . ) to stand for the universal positive constant independent of time t > 0.

10.1.2 Proof of Theorem 10.1.3 In this section we prove Theorem 10.1.3. To this end, we ﬁrst establish some energy estimates. First of all, multiplying (10.1.1) by φi , using (10.1.2)–(10.1.7) and Green’s formula, and noting that 2 Ai j kl φk,l φi, j = ∂(Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )/∂t, we deduce that d E0 (t; φ, ) = − dt

Chapter 10. Large-Time Behavior of Energy in Multi-Dimensional Elasticity

Similarly, keeping in mind that equation (10.1.1) and boundary conditions (10.1.2)– (10.1.4) are all linear in t, we have that for h = 0, 1, . . . , m + 1, d Eh (t; φ, δ) = − di (x)∂th+1 i ∂th+1 i d0 ≤ 0. (10.1.22) dt 0 Let us denote

10.2. Exponential Decay of Energy

10.2 Exponential Decay of Energy 10.2.1 Main Results In this section we study the exponential decay of energy for a multi-dimensional dissipative non-homogeneous anisotropic elastic system. We assume here that the boundary surface is nonporous and locally reacting in the sense that wave motion along the boundary is negligible. We also suppose that a small part of the boundary reacts to the excess pressure due to the wave like a resistant harmonic oscillator (see, e.g., [272], p. 263). Such a model can be regarded as an extension of the “classical” elastic theory. We denote by an open bounded domain of Rn with sufﬁciently smooth boundary ∂ = . If φ = φ(x, t) is the displacement vector ﬁeld, then the system in question reads φi − [ Ai j kl φk,l ], j + fˆi φi = 0

i n × (0, +∞)

(10.2.1)

where i, j, k, l = 1, 2, . . . , n and φ(x, t) = (φ1 , . . . , φn ), w = ∂w/∂t, w, j = ∂w/∂ x j , and we use Einstein’s convention on summing over repeated lower indices, and fˆi = fˆi (x) (i = 1, 2, . . . , n) is a continuous function in verifying ∀ ∈ . fˆi (x) ≥ 0, i = 1, 2, . . . , n, fˆ(x) = ( fˆ1 (x), . . . , fˆn (x)) ≡ 0, ∀x

(10.2.2)

We assume that the boundary ∂ = is divided into two parts, = 0 ∪ 1 with 0 ∩ 1 = ∅, 0 = ∅. We suppose that 0 is not rigid and that each point reacts to excess pressure of a resistive harmonic oscillator, and that the different parts of the boundary do not inﬂuence each other, that is, the surface is locally reacting but subject to small oscillations. Under these conditions the normal displacement of 0 into the domain satisﬁes m i (x)i (x, t) + di (x)i (x, t) + ki (x)(x, t) = −ρφi (x, t) on

0

(10.2.3)

where ρ is the density of the medium, m i , di and ki are mass per unit area, resistivity and spring constant on 0 , respectively. If we also assume that 0 is impenetrable, we obtain from the continuity of the velocity at the boundary 0 that i (x, t) + gi = Ai j kl φk,l ν j on

(10.2.4)

where ν(x) = (ν1 , . . . , νn ) denotes the outward normal vector at x ∈ , and gi (x, t) = −gˆ i φi (x, t), i = 1, 2, . . . , n

(10.2.5)

(10.2.7)

Moreover, we assume that there are a point x 0 ∈ R and a constant a0 > 0 such that 1 = {x ∈ : q(x) · ν(x) ≤ 0}, 0 = {x ∈ : q(x) · ν(x) ≥ a0 > 0} with q(x) = x − x 0 . As a typical example for the existence of the point x 0 we can see that example in Section 10.1.1. The initial conditions of the system is given by φ(x, 0) = φ 0 (x), φ (x, 0) = φ 1 (x), 0

(x, 0) = (x), (x, 0) = (x),

∀ ∈ , ∀x ∀ ∈ 0 . ∀x

(10.2.8) (10.2.9)

We assume that m i (x), di (x) and ki (x) are positive sufﬁciently smooth functions on 0 , i = 1, 2, . . . , n and that Ai j kl (x) is a sufﬁciently smooth function satisfying Ai j kl = A j ikl = Akli j

(10.2.10)

¯ and there are two positive constants α and β such that on Ai j kl φi, j φk,l ≥ αφi, j φi, j , (Ai j kl − qμ Ai j kl,μ )ξi j ξkl ≥ β Ai j kl ξi j ξkl

(10.2.11) (10.2.12)

where μ = 1, 2, . . . , n. When n = 3 and fˆi = gˆ i ≡ 0 (i = 1, 2, . . . , n), the boundary conditions (10.2.2)– (10.2.3) are called “acoustic boundary conditions” for the linear homogeneous wave equation for which Beale [26,27], and Beale and Roscrans [28] proved the global existence and regularity of solutions in a Hilbert space of data with ﬁnite energy by means of semi-group methods. The asymptotic behavior for this model was obtained in [27, Theorem 2.6] but no decay rate was given there. This model was also used in [272, p. 263] for waves assumed to be at a deﬁnite frequency. When fˆi = gˆ i ≡ 0 (i = 1, 2, . . . , n) and under some reasonable assumptions, the polynomial decay of energy for the problem (10.2.1), (10.2.3)–(10.2.4) and (10.2.7) was established in Section 10.2.1 (see also, ˜ Rivera and Qin [338]). Munoz In this section, under the above assumptions including dissipative conditions (10.2.2) and (10.2.5) on fˆi and gˆ i , we establish the exponential decay of energy. It is noteworthy that the system (10.2.1) is a dissipative equation and the boundary condition (10.2.4) is a damping boundary, which can be easily seen from (10.2.2) and (10.2.5)–(10.2.6). Note that when fˆi ≡ gˆ i = 0 (i = 1, 2, . . . , n), only polynomial decay of energy for the problem (10.2.1), (10.2.3)–(10.2.4) and (10.2.7) could be obtained (see Section 10.2.1, see also Qin and Mu˜n˜ oz Rivera [338]). Thus we naturally anticipate the exponential decay of energy with such dissipative effects from the system (10.2.1)

10.2. Exponential Decay of Energy

423

and from the boundary 0 . It follows from the proofs of our results that the interaction between two kinds of dissipative effects from the system (10.2.1) and the boundary 0 (see (10.2.4)) results in the exponential decay of energy; if one of these two effects vanishes, that is, if fˆ(x) ≡ 0 or g(x) ˆ ≡ 0, then one of the two terms 0 ∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi d0

and 0 ∂th+1 i ∂th+1 i d0 , which are very important to guarantee the exponential decay of energy, will disappear. Thus to establish the exponential decay of energy does not seem feasible. The method we will use here is based on the construction of a Lyapunov functional L(t) for which an inequality of the form d L(t) ≤ −CL(t) dt holds with C > 0 being a constant. To construct such a functional L(t) we start from the energy identity. Then we look for other functions whose derivatives introduce negative terms such as [∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi + Ai j kl ∂th φi, j ∂th φk,l ]d x, (∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi + ∂th+1 i (t)∂th+1 i (t))d0 , 0

etc., until we are able to construct the whole energy on the right-hand side of the energy identity. Finally we take L(t) as the sum of such functions. Unfortunately, such a process above also produces some terms without deﬁnite signs. To overcome this difﬁculty, we have to introduce a new multiplier which allows us to derive appropriate estimates. Finally we should carefully choose the coefﬁcients of each term of L(t) so that the resulting sum can satisfy the required inequality. Deﬁne the space H = (H H11 ())n × (L 2 ())n × (L 2 (0 ))n × (L 2 (0 ))n with

H11 () = {u : u ∈ H 1(), u|1 = 0}.

It is easy to see that H together with the inner product u, w = (ρ Ai j kl u k,l wi, j + ρu n+ j wn+ j )d x + (kk j u 2n+ j w2n+ j + m j u 3n+ j w3n+ j )d0 0

(10.2.13)

is a Hilbert space, where u = (u 1 , u 2 , . . . , u 4n )τ , w = (w1 , w2 , . . . , w4n )τ ∈ H. Thus it follows from (10.2.10) that the induced norm on H by the above inner product |u|2H = (ρ Ai j kl u k,l u i, j + ρu n+ j u n+ j )d x + (kk j u 2n+ j u 2n+ j + m j u 3n+ j u 3n+ j )d0

and D(A) = U = (u 1 , . . . , u 4n )τ ∈ H : u n+i ∈ H11 (), (Ai j kl u k,l ), j − fˆi u n+i ∈ L 2 (), u 3n+i ∈ L 2 (0 ), u 3n+i = Ai j kl u k,l ν j + gˆ i u n+i on 0 , i, j, k, l = 1, . . . , n . In the deﬁnition of D(A), u 3n+i = Ai j kl u k,l ν j + gˆ i u n+i is in the weak sense that

[(Ai j kl u k,l ), j + Ai j kl u k,l , j ]d x =

(u 3n+i − gˆ i u n+i ) d0 , ∀ ∈ H11 ()

and (Ai j kl u k,l ), j − fˆi u n+i ∈ L 2 () is equivalent to the condition of u 3n+i = Ai j kl u k,l ν j + gˆ i u n+i on 0 as a trace. Obviously, we derive from (10.2.1), (10.2.3)–(10.2.4) and (10.2.2) that u i = u n+i , u n+i u 2n+i u 3n+i

For any U ∈ D(A), it is easy to verify from (10.2.1)–(10.2.6) and the deﬁnition of D(A) that AU, U = (ρ Ai j kl u n+k,l u i, j + ρ[(Ai j kl u k,l ), j − fˆi u n+i ]u n+i d x + [ki u 3n+i u 2n+i − m i (ρu n+i + di u 3n+i + ki u 2n+i )u 3n+i /m i ]d0 0 =ρ Ai j kl u n+k,l u i, j d x + ρ Ai j kl u k,l ν j u n+i d0 0 i ˆ −ρ Ai j kl u k,l u n+i, j d x − ki u 3n+i u 2n+i d0 f u n+i u n+i d x + 0 − (ρu n+i + di u 3n+i + ki u 2n+i )u 3n+i d0 0 =− (di u 3n+i u 3n+i + ρ gˆ i u n+i u n+i )d0 − ρ fˆi u n+i u n+i d x ≤ 0 0

(10.2.19) which implies that A is a dissipative operator on H. Thus, similar to the proofs of Theorems 10.1.1–10.1.2, we are able to obtain the following results on the global existence and regularity of solutions. Theorem 10.2.1. The operator A deﬁned on H is closed, densely deﬁned, and dissipative. It generates a C0 -semigroup on H. Theorem 10.2.2. Assume that U0 ∈ H is C ∞ and vanishes near ∂; let U(t) be the ¯ solution of U (t) = AU(t), t ≥ 0, with U(0) = U0 . Then u 1 (t), . . . , u 2n (t) ∈ C ∞ () and u 2n+1 (t), . . . , u 4n (t) ∈ C ∞ (0 ) for any t ≥ 0. Remark 10.2.1. “U vanishes near ∂” means u 2n+1 = · · · = u 4n = 0 on 0 , and u 1 , . . . , u 2n vanish near ∂. Similarly to (10.1.17)–(10.1.18), we introduce the energy functions 1 (ρφi φi + ρ Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )d x E 0 (t; φ, ) = 2 1 + (ki (x)i i + m i (x)i i )d0 , 2 0 E h (t) ≡ E h (t; φ, ) = E 0 (t; ∂th φ, ∂th ),

h = 1, 2, . . . , m.

The following is our main result on the large-time behavior of energy. Theorem 10.2.3. Under the above assumptions and taking smooth initial datum (φ 0 , φ 1 , 0 , 1 ) such that m E h (0) < +∞ (10.2.22) h=0

We also put · = · L 2 and use C (sometimes C1 , C2 , . . . ) to stand for the universal positive constant independent of time t > 0.

10.2.2 Proof of Theorem 10.2.3 In this section we are going to prove Theorem 10.2.3. To this end, we ﬁrst establish some energy estimates. First, multiplying equation (10.2.1) by φi , and using Green’s formula, we arrive at ρ d φi φi d x − ρ Ai j kl φk,l ν j φi d + ρ Ai j kl φk,l φi, j d x + ρ fˆi φi φi d x = 0. 2 dt (10.2.24) Noting that 2 Ai j kl φk,l φi, j = ∂(Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )/∂t and using (10.2.4)–(10.2.7), we deduce that d ρ (φ φ + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )d x = ρ Ai j kl φk,l ν j φi d0 − ρ fˆi φi φi d x. dt 2 i i 0 (10.2.25) By (10.2.3)–(10.2.4), we have ρ Ai j kl φk,l ν j φi d0 = ρ φi (i − gˆ i φi )d0 0 0 1 d =− (m i i i + ki i i )d0 − (di i i + ρ gˆ i φi φi )d0 2 dt 0 0 which along with (3.2) gives d i ˆ E 0 (t; φ, ) = −ρ (di (x)i i + ρ gˆ i φi φi )d0 . f φi φi d x − dt 0

(10.2.26)

Similarly, keeping in mind that equation (10.2.25) and boundary conditions (10.2.3)– (10.2.4) and (10.2.7) are all linear in t, we have that for h = 0, 1, . . . , m, d E h (t; φ, δ) = − ρ fˆi ∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi d x dt (di (x)∂th+1 i ∂th+1 i + gˆ i ∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi )d0 . (10.2.27) − 0

h = 1, 2, . . . , m.

(10.2.28) (10.2.29)

Lemma 10.2.1. For h = 0, 1, . . . , m, we have 1 (n − 1) d Fh (t) ≤ qμ νμ ∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi d0 + Ai j kl ∂th φk,l ∂th φi ν j d0 dt 2 0 2 0 1 1 − [∂th+1 φi ∂th+1 φi + Ai j kl ∂th φk,l ∂th φi, j ]d x + Ai j kl,μ ∂th φk,l ∂th φi, j qμ d x 2 2 1 + Ai j kl ν j qμ ∂th φk,l ∂th φi,μ d0 − Ai j kl νμ qμ ∂th φk,l ∂th φi, j d0 2 0 0 a1 − Ai j kl ∂th φk,l ∂th φi, j d1 − (10.2.30) fˆi ∂th+1 φi qμ ∂th φi,μ d x, 2 1 where a1 = min1 [−qμ νμ ] ≥ 0. Proof. Since (10.2.1), (10.2.3)–(10.2.4) and (10.2.7) are all linear in t, it sufﬁces to prove (10.2.30) for the case of h = 0. First we can derive from (10.2.1)–(10.2.7) that d φi φi d x = (φi φi − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )d x + Ai j kl φk,l φi ν j d0 − fˆi φi φi d x dt 0 which gives 1 d φi φi + fˆi φi φi d x = (φi φi − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j )d x + Ai j kl φk,l φi ν j d0 . dt 2 0 (10.2.31) Similarly, by (10.2.1), d 1 φi qμ φi,μ + qμ (φi φi ),μ d x (10.2.32) φi qμ φi,μ d x = dt 2 1 1 = ([ Ai j kl φk,l ], j − fˆi φi )qμ φi,μ d x + qμ νμ φi φi d0 − qμ,μ φi φi d x. 2 0 2 By (10.2.10), we deduce (Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ),μ = Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j + 2 Ai j kl φk,l φi, j μ or Ai j kl φk,l φi, j μ =

1 [(Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ),μ − Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j ]. 2

By (3.10), we arrive at [ Ai j kl φk,l ], j qμ φi,μ d x = Ai j kl ν j qμ φk,l φi,μ d − [ Ai j kl qμ, j φk,l φi,μ + Ai j kl qμ φk,l φi, j μ ]d x 1 = Ai j kl ν j qμ φk,l φi,μ d − Ai j kl qμ, j φk,l φi,μ d x − (Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ),μ qμ d x 2 1 + Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j qμ d x 2 1 = Ai j kl ν j qμ φk,l φi,μ d − Ai j kl qμ, j φk,l φi,μ d x + Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j qμ d x 2 1 1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ,μ d x 2 2 which, combined with (10.2.32), yields d φ qμ φi,μ d x dt i 1 1 = qμ νμ φi φi d0 − qμ,μ φi φi d x + Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ ν j qμ d 2 0 2 1 1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ, j d x + Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j qμ d x − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j νμ qμ d 2 2 1 + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ,μ d x − fˆi φi qμ φi,μ d x 2 1 (n − 1) = qμ νμ φi φi d0 − [φi φi − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ]d x 2 0 2 1 − [φi φi + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ]d x + Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ ν j d 2 1 1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d + Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j qμ d x 2 2 1 + [ Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ,μ − fˆi φi qμ φi,μ ]d x. (10.2.34) 2 Multiplying (10.2.31) by (n − 1)/2 and then adding the resulting equation to (10.2.34), we deduce d 1 (n − 1) F0 (t; φ, ) = qμ νμ φi φi d0 + Ai j kl φk,l φi ν j d0 (10.2.35) dt 2 0 2 0 1 − [φ φ + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j ]d x + Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ ν j d 2 i i 1 1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d + Ai j kl,μ φk,l φi, j qμ d x − fˆi φi qμ φi,μ d x. 2 2

Noting that φ|1 = 0, it holds that on 1 , ν j φi,μ = νμ φi, j which implies 1 Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ ν j d − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d = Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ ν j d0 2 0 1 1 + Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d0 2 1 2 0 a1 ≤ Ai j kl φk,l φi,μ qμ ν j d0 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j d1 2 1 0 1 − Ai j kl φk,l φi, j qμ νμ d0 . (10.2.36) 2 0 Thus (10.2.30) with h = 0 follows from (10.2.35)–(10.2.36). Operating ∂th on (10.2.1)–(10.2.7), repeating the same argumentation as above, we easily derive the desired estimate (10.2.30). The proof is complete. Now if we deﬁne G 0 (t; φ, ) = [m i (x)i i + di (x)i i /2 + ρφi i ]d0 , 0

G h (t) ≡ G h (t; φ, ) ≡ G 0 (t; ∂th φ, ∂th ), h = 1, 2, . . . , m

(10.2.37) (10.2.38)

then we have Lemma 10.2.2. For h = 0, 1, 2, . . . , m, we have d h h G h (t) = − ki (x)∂t i ∂t i d0 + [m i (x)∂th+1 i ∂th+1 i + ρ∂th φi ∂th+1 i ]d0 . dt 0 0 (10.2.39) Proof. It sufﬁces to prove the case of h = 0. Multiplying (10.2.3) by i and integrating the resulting equation on 0 give the desired estimate (10.2.39). Noting that Eq. (10.2.1) and boundary conditions (10.2.3)–(10.2.4), (10.2.7) are all linear in t, we operate ∂th on (10.2.1)–(10.2.4) and repeat the same process as above to be able to derive the desired estimate (10.2.39) for the general cases h = 1, 2, . . . , m.
