  • Decay property of solutions for damped wave equations with space-time dependent damping term

    Jiayun Lin, Kenji Nishihara, Jian Zhai

    JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS   374 ( 2 ) 602 - 614  2011.02

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with space-time dependent potential b(t, x) and absorbing semilinear term vertical bar u vertical bar(rho-1)u. Here, b(t, x) = b(0)(1 + vertical bar x vertical bar(2))(-alpha/2)(1 + t)(-beta) with b(0) > 0, alpha, beta >= 0 and alpha + beta epsilon [0, 1). Using the weighted energy method, we can obtain the L(2) decay rate of the solution, which is almost optimal in the case rho > rho c(N, alpha, beta) := 1+2/(N - alpha). Combining this decay rate with the result that we got in the paper U. Lin, K. Nishihara, J. Zhai, L(2)-estimates of solutions for damped wave equations with space-time dependent damping term, J. Differential Equations 248 (2010) 403-422], we believe that rho c(N, alpha, beta) is a critical exponent. Note that when alpha = beta = 0, rho c(N, alpha, beta) coincides to the Fujita exponent rho(F)(N) := 1 + 2/N. The new points include the estimate in the supercritical exponent and for not necessarily compactly supported data. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Asymptotic profile of solutions for 1-D wave equation with time-dependent damping and absorbing semilinear term

    Kenji Nishihara

    ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS   71 ( 4 ) 185 - 205  2011

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with time-dependent damping and absorbing semilinear term
    {u(tt) - Delta u + b(t)u(t) + |u|(rho-1) u = 0, (t, x) is an element of R+ x R-N, (u, u(t))(0, x) = (u(0), u(1))(x), x is an element of R-N. (*)
    When b(t) = b(0)( t + 1)(-beta) with -1 < beta < 1 and b0 > 0, we want to seek for the asymptotic profile as t -> infinity of the solution u to (*) in the supercritical case rho > rho(F) (N) := 1 + 2/N. By the weighted energy method we can show the basic decay rates of u, which are almost the same as those to the corresponding linear parabolic equation
    phi(t) - 1/b(t)Delta phi = 0, (t, x). R+ x R-N (**)
    When N = 1, the decay rates of higher order derivatives of u are obtained by the energy method, so that the solution u can be regarded as that of (**) with source term -1/b(t) (u(tt) + |u|(rho-1) u). Thus, we will show
    theta(0)G(B)(t, x) (theta(0): suitable constant)
    to be an asymptotic profile of u, where G(B)(t, x) is the fundamental solution of (**).

    In this paper, we consider the damped wave equation with space-time dependent potential b(t, x) and absorbing semilinear term vertical bar u vertical bar(rho-1)u. Here, b(t, x) = b(0)(1+vertical bar z vertical bar(2))(-alpha/2) (1+t)(-beta) with b(0) > 0, alpha, beta >= 0 and alpha + beta is an element of [0, 1). Based on the local existence theorem, we obtain the global existence and the L-2 decay rate of the solution by using the weighted energy method. The decay rate coincides with the result of Nishihara [K. Nishihara, Decay properties for the damped wave equation with space dependent potential and absorbed semilinear term. preprint] in the case of beta = 0 and coincides with the result of Nishihara and Zhai [K Nishihara.

  • Decay Properties for the Damped Wave Equation with Space Dependent Potential and Absorbed Semilinear Term

    Kenji Nishihara

    COMMUNICATIONS IN PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS   35 ( 8 ) 1402 - 1418  2010

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with space dependent potential V(x)u(t) and absorbed semilinear term |u|(rho-1)u in R(N). Our assumption on V(x) similar to (1+|x|(2))(-alpha/2) (0 <= alpha < 1) still implies the diffusion phenomena and the decay rates of solutions are expected to be the same as the corresponding parabolic problem. In this paper we obtain two kinds of decay rates of the solution effective for rho > rho(c)(N, alpha) := 1+2/(N - alpha) and for rho < rho(c)(N, alpha). We believe that in the "supercritical" exponent the decay rates obtained are almost the same as those for the linear parabolic problem, while, in the "subcritical" exponent the solution decays faster than that of linear equation, thanks to the absorbed semilinear term. So we believe that rho(c)(N, alpha) is a critical exponent. Note that rho(c)(N, alpha) with alpha = 0 coincides to the Fujita exponent rho(F)(N) := 1 + N/2.

  • Asymptotic behavior of solutions for the damped wave equation with slowly decaying data

    Takashi Narazaki, Kenji Nishihara

    JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS   338 ( 2 ) 803 - 819  2008.02

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation
    u(tt) - Delta u + u(t) = vertical bar u vertical bar(rho-1)u, (t, x) epsilon R+ x R-N
    and the heat equation
    phi(t) - Delta phi = vertical bar phi vertical bar(rho-1)phi, (t, x) epsilon R+ x R-N
    If the data is small and slowly decays likely c(1) (1 + vertical bar x vertical bar)(-kN), 0 < k <= 1, then the critical exponent is rho(c)(k) = 1 + 2/kN for the semilinear heat equation. In this paper it is shown that in the supercrifical case there exists a unique time global solution to the Cauchy problem for the semilinear heat equation in any dimensional space R-N, whose asymptotic profile is given by
    Phi(0)(t, x) = integral(RN)e(-vertical bar x-y vertical bar 2/4t)/(4 pi t)(N/2) c(1)/(1+vertical bar y vertical bar(2))(kN/2)dy
    provided that the data phi(0) satisfies lim(vertical bar x vertical bar ->infinity)< x >(kN)phi(0)(x) = c(1) (not equal 0). Even in the semilinear damped wave equation in the supercritical case a time global solution u with the data (u, u(t))(0, x) = (u(0), u(1))(x) is shown in low dimensional spaces R-N, N = 1, 2, 3, to have the same asymptotic profile Phi(0)(t, x) provided that lim(vertical bar x vertical bar ->infinity)< x >(kN)(u(0) + u(1))(x) = c(1) (not equal 0). Those proofs are given by elementary estimates on the explicit formulas of solutions. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Global asymptotics of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with absorption

    R Ikehata, K Nishihara, HJ Zhao

    JOURNAL OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS   226 ( 1 ) 1 - 29  2006.07

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with absorption
    u(tt) - Delta u + u(t) + vertical bar u vertical bar(p-1) u = 0, (t,x) is an element of R+ x R-N.
    The behavior of u as t -> infinity is expected to be same as that for the corresponding heat equation phi(t) - Delta phi + vertical bar phi vertical bar(p-1) phi = 0, (t, x) is an element of R+ x R-N. In the subcritical case 1 < p < p(c) (N): = 1 + 2/N there exists a similarity solution W-b (t, x) with the form t(-1/(p-1)) f (x/root t) depending on b = lim(vertical bar x vertical bar ->infinity vertical bar x vertical bar)(2/(p- 1)) f (vertical bar x vertical bar) >= 0. Our first aim is to show the decay rates
    (parallel to u(t)parallel to(L2), parallel to u(t)parallel to(Lp+1), parallel to del u(t)parallel to(L2)) = 0 (t (-) 1/p-1+N/4, t (-) 1/p-1+N/2(p+1), t (-) 1/p-1-1/2+N/4) (**)
    provided that the initial data without initial data size restriction spatially decays with reasonable polynomial order. The decay rates (**) are sharp in the sense that they are same as those of the similarity solution. The second aim is to show that the Gauss kernel is the asymptotic profile in the supercritical case, which has been shown in case of one-dimensional space by Hayashi. Kaikina and Naumkin [N. Hayashi, E.I. Kaikina, P.I. Naumkin, Asymptotics for nonlinear damped wave equations with large initial data, preprint, 2004]. We C-energy show this assertion in two- and three-dimensional space. To prove our results, both the weighted L-2-energy method and the explicit formula of solutions will be employed. The weight is an improved one originally developed in [Y. Todorova, B. Yordanov, Critical exponent for a nonlinear wave equation with damping, J. Differential Equations 174 (2001) 464-489]. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Asymptotic profile of solutions to nonlinear dissipative evolution system with ellipticity

    Kenji Nishihara

    ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ANGEWANDTE MATHEMATIK UND PHYSIK   57 ( 4 ) 604 - 614  2006.07

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear dissipative evolution system with ellipticity on one dimensional space
    psi(t) = -(1 - alpha) psi - theta(x) + alpha psi(xx), (t, x) is an element of (0, infinity) x R theta(t) = -(1 - alpha) theta + nu(2)psi(x) + alpha theta(xx) + 2 psi theta(x),
    with 0 < nu(2) < 4 alpha(1 - alpha), 0 < alpha < 1. S. Q. Tang and H. Zhao [4] have considered the problem and obtained the optimal decay property for suitably small data. In this paper we derive the asymptotic profile using the Gauss kernel G(t, x), which shows the precise behavior of solution as time tends to infinity. In fact, we will show that the asymptotic formula
    [GRAPHICS]
    holds, where D-0, beta(0) are determined by the data. It is the key point to reformulate the system to the nonlinear parabolic one by suitable changing variables.

  • Global asymptotics for the damped wave equation with absorption in higher dimensional space

    Kenji Nishihara

    JOURNAL OF THE MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN   58 ( 3 ) 805 - 836  2006.07

     View Summary

    We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with absorption
    u(tt) - Delta u + u(t) + \u\(rho-1) u = 0, (t, x) is an element of R+ x R-N, (*)
    with N = 3,4. The behavior of u as t --> infinity is expected to be the Gauss kernel in the supercritical case rho > rho(c) (N) := 1 + 2/N. In fact, this has been shown by Karch [12] (Studia Math., 143 (2000), 175-197) for rho > 1+ 4/N (N = 1, 2,3), Hayashi, Kaikina and Naumkin [8] (preprint (2004)) for rho > rho(c) (N)(N = 1) and by Ikehata, Nishihara and Zhao [11] (J. Math. Anal. Appl., 313 (2006), 598-610) for rho(c)(N) < rho <= 1 + 4/N (N = 1, 2) and rho(c) (N) < rho < 1 + 3/N (N = 3). Developing their result, we will show the behavior of solutions for rho(c) (N) < rho <= 1 + 4/N (N = 3), rho(c) (N) < rho < 1 + 4/N (N = 4). For the proof, both the weighted L-2-energy method with an improved weight developed in Todorova and Yordanov [22] (J. Differential Equations, 174 (2001), 464-489) and the explicit formula of solutions are still usefully used. This method seems to be not applicable for N = 5, because the semilinear term is not in C-2 and the second derivatives are necessary when the explicit formula of solutions is estimated.

  • Existence and nonexistence of time-global solutions to damped wave equation on half-line

    K Nishihara, HJ Zhao

    NONLINEAR ANALYSIS-THEORY METHODS & APPLICATIONS   61 ( 6 ) 931 - 960  2005.06

     View Summary

    On the half-line R+ = (0, infinity) the initial-boundary value problems with null-Dirichlet boundary for both the semilinear heat equation and damped wave equation are considered. The critical exponent p(c) (N, k) of semilinear term for the existence and nonexistence about the semilinear heat equation on the halved space D-N,D-k = R-+(k) = RN-k is given by p(c)(N, k) = 1 + 2/(N + k) (J. Appl. Math. Phys. 39 (1988) 135-149; Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 109 (1990) 63-71). Since the damped wave equation is expected to be close to the heat equation (J. Differential Equations 191 (2003) 445-469; Math. Z. 244 (2003) 631-649), the critical exponent for the semilinear damped wave equation is expected to be same as that of the semilinear heat equation. However, there is no blow-up result on the halved space for the damped wave equation. In this paper, the exponent pc(l, 1) = 2 is shown to be critical for the existence and nonexistence of time-global solution to both the semilinear heat equation and damped wave equation on the half-line R+, together with the derivation of the blow-up time. For the proof the explicit formulas of solutions are used in a similar fashion to those in Li and Zhou (Discrete Continuous Dynamic Systems 1 (1995) 503-520). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Nonlinear stability of strong rarefaction waves for compressible Navier-Stokes equations

    K Nishihara, T Yang, HJ Zhao

    SIAM JOURNAL ON MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS   35 ( 6 ) 1561 - 1597  2004

     View Summary

    This paper is concerned with the time-asymptotic behavior toward strong rarefaction waves of solutions to one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Assume that the corresponding Riemann problem to the compressible Euler equations can be solved by rarefaction waves (V-R, U-R, S-R)(t, x). If the initial data (v(0), u(0), s(0))(x) to the nonisentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations is a small perturbation of an approximate rarefaction wave constructed as in [ S. Kawashima, A. Matsumura, and K. Nishihara, Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A, 62 (1986), pp. 249-252], then we show that, for the general gas, the Cauchy problem admits a unique global smooth solution (v, u, s)(t, x) which tends to (V-R, U-R, S-R)(t, x) as t tends to infinity. A global stability result can also be established for the nonisentropic ideal polytropic gas, provided that the adiabatic exponent gamma is close to 1. Furthermore, we show that for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations, the corresponding global stability result holds, provided that the resulting compressible Euler equations are strictly hyperbolic and both characteristical fields are genuinely nonlinear. Here, global stability means that the initial perturbation can be large. Since we do not require the strength of the rarefaction waves to be small, these results give the nonlinear stability of strong rarefaction waves for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

  • L-p-L-q estimates of solutions to the damped wave equation in 3-dimensional space and their application

    K Nishihara

    MATHEMATISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT   244 ( 3 ) 631 - 649  2003.07

     View Summary

    It has been asserted that the damped wave equation has the diffusive structure as t --> infinity. In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem in 3-dimensional space for the linear damped wave equation and the corresponding parabolic equation, and obtain the L-p - L-q estimates of the difference of each solution, which represent the assertion precisely. Explicit formulas of the solutions are analyzed for the proof. The second aim is to apply the L-p - L-q estimates to the semilinear damped wave equation with power nonlinearity. If the power is larger than the Fujita exponent, then the time global existence of small weak solution is proved and its optimal decay order is obtained.

    The "inflow problems" for a one-dimensional compressible barotropic flow on the half-line R+ = (0, +infinity) is investigated. Not only classical waves but also the new wave, which is called the "boundary layer solution", arise. Large time behaviors of the solutions to be expected have been classified in terms of the boundary values by [A. Matsumura, Inflow and outflow problems in the half space for a one-dimensional isentropic model system of compressible viscous gas, to appear in Proceedings of IMS Conference on Differential Equations from Mechanics, Hong Kong, 1999]. In this paper we give the rigorous proofs of the stability theorems on both the boundary layer solution and a superposition of the boundary layer solution and the rarefaction wave.

Here, the flux f is a smooth function satisfying flu,) = 0 and the Oleinik shock condition f(phi) < 0 for u(+) < phi < u(-) if u(+) < u(-) or f(phi) > 0 for u(+) > phi > u(-) if u(+) < u(-). In this situation the corresponding Cauchy problem on the whole line R = (-<infinity>,infinity) to (*) has a stationary viscous shock wave phi (x + x,) for any fixed x,. Our aim in this paper is to show that the solution U(x, t) to (*) behaves as phi (x + d(t)) with d(t) = O(In t) as t --> infinity under the suitable smallness conditions. When f = u(2)/2, the fact was shown by T.-P. Liu and S.-H. Yu (1997, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 139, 57-82), based on the Hopf-Cole transformation. Our proof is based on the weighted energy method.

    The initial-boundary value problem on the half-line R+. = (0, infinity) for a system of barotropic viscous flow b(t) - u(x) = 0, u(t) + p(v)(x) = mu ux/v)(x) is investigated. where the pressure p(v) = v(-gamma) (gamma greater than or equal to 1) for the specific volume v > 0. Note that the boundary value at x = 0 is given only for the velocity u, say u(-), and that the initial data (v(0), u(0)) (x) have the constant states (v(+), u(+)) at x = +infinity with v(0)(x) > 0, v(+) > 0. If u(-) < u(+), then there is a unique v(-) such that (v(+),u(+)) is an element of R-2(v(-),u(-)) (the 2-rarefaction curve) and hence there exists the 2-rarefaction wave (v(2)(R), u(2)(R)) (x/T) connecting (v(-), u(-)) with (v(+), u(+)). Our assertion is that, if u(-) < u(+), then there exists a global solution (v, u) (t, x) in C-0 ([0, infinity); H-1 (R+)), which tends to the 2-rarefaction wave (v(2)(R), u(2)(R))(x/t)\(x greater than or equal to 0) as t --> infinity in the maximum norm, with no smallness condition on \u(+) - u(-)\ and parallel to(v(0) - v(+), u(0) - u(+))parallel to(H1), nor restriction on gamma (greater than or equal to 1). A similar result to the corresponding Cauchy problem is also obtained. The proofs are given by an elementary L-2-energy method.

    In this paper, we study the p-system with frictional damping and show that the solutions time-asymptotically tend to the nonlinear diffusion waves governed by the classical Darcy's law. By introducing an approximate Green function we obtain the optimal L-p, 2 less than or equal to p less than or equal to + infinity, convergence rate of the solution, which is a perturbation of the nonlinear diffusion wave, to the hyperbolic system.

  • Asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave of a one-dimensional model system for compressible viscous gas with boundary

    T Pan, HX Liu, K Nishihara

    JAPAN JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS   16 ( 3 ) 431 - 441  1999.10

     View Summary

    This paper is concerned with asymptotic behavior of solutions of a one-dimensional barotropic flow governed by v(t) - u(x) = 0, u(t) + p(v)(x) = mu(u(x)/v)(x) on R-+(1) with boundary. The initial data of (v, u) have constant states (v(+), u(+)) at +infinity and the boundary condition at x = 0 is given only on the velocity u, say u_. By virtue of the boundary effect the solution is expected to behave as outgoing wave. Therefore, when u_ < u(+), v(-) is determined as (v(+), u(+)) is an element of R-2(v(-), u(-)), 2-rarefaction curve for the corresponding hyperbolic system, which admits the a-rarefaction wave (v(r), u(r))(x/t) connecting two constant states (v(-), u(-)) and (v(+), u(+)). Our assertion is that the solution of the original system tends to the restriction of (v(r), u(r))(x/t) to R-+(1) as t --> infinity provided that both the initial perturbations and \(v(+) - v(-), u(+) - u(-))\ are small. The result is given by an elementary L-2 energy method.

    K Nishihara, T Yang

    JOURNAL OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS   156 ( 2 ) 439 - 458  1999.08

     View Summary

    We consider the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the p-system with linear damping on the half-line R+ = (0, infinity),
    v(t) - u(x) = 0, u(t) + p(v)(x) = -alpha u,
    with the Dirichlet boundary condition u/(x=0) =0 or the Neumann boundary condition u(x)/(x=0) =0 The initial date (v(0),u(0))(x) has the constant state (v(+),u(+)) at x = infinity. L. Hsiao and T.-P. Liu [ Commun. Math. Phys. 143 (1992), 599-605] have shown that the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem behaves like diffusion wave, and K. Nishihara [J. Differential Equations 131 (1996), 171-188; 137 (1997), 384-395] has proved its optimal convergence rate. Our main concern in this paper is the boundary effect. In the case of null-Dirichlet boundary condition on u, the solution (u, u) is proved to lend to (v(+), 0) as t tends to infinity. Its optimal convergence rate is also obtained by using the Green function of the diffusion equation with constant coefficients. In the case of null-Neumann boundary condition on u, v(0, t) is conservative and v(0, t) equivalent to v(0)(0) by virtue of the first equation, so that v(x, t) is expected to tend to the diffusion wave (v) over bar(x, t) connecting v(0)(0) and u,. In fact the solution in (v, u)(x, t) is proved to tend to ((v) over bar(x, t), 0) In the special case v(0)(0)=v(+), the optimal convergence rate is also obtained. However, this is not known in the case v(0)(0) not equal v(+). (C) 1999 Academic Press.

  • 粘性的双曲型保存系の非線型波の安定性

    2001  

     View Summary

    Porous Media 中の圧縮性流は摩擦による効果が大きく、線型強制項をもつ連立双曲型の方程式系で表される。この系の初期値問題の解は、Darcy の法則から得られる放物型方程式の解--それは散逸波と呼ばれる非線型波の一つである--に漸近することが予想され、実際、Hsiao-Liu により、初めて示された。 本年度の研究では、その漸近の速さについて、散逸波の Location を与えられた初期値に対して一意に定めることにより、sharp な漸近の速さを得て、その論文は Proc. Royal Soc. Edinburgh, Section A に掲載が決まっている。方法は、エネルギー法とグリーン関数の方法を組み合せて得られる。しかしながら、この方法では、L^1 空間におけるノルムでの漸近は得られない。そこで、新たに、二階消散型波動方程式の解表示を詳しく解析して、L^1-ノルムにおいても sharp な漸近の速さを得て、その論文は作成準備中である。

  • 粘性的双曲型保存側の方程式の非線型波の安定性(Ⅲ)

    1998  

     View Summary

     今年度の研究課題のもと、まず、線型dampingを持つp-systemの、半直線上の初期値境界値問題の解の漸近挙動について考察した。Cauchy問題の解は、diffusion waveと呼ばれる波に漸近することが、Hsiao, Liu氏等の研究で初めて知られ、定数状態の周りでは、具体的なGreen関数の表示を用いた,報告者による最良の漸近のオーダーも得られている。本年の研究では、半空間における境界の効果を調べ、初期値境界値問題の解も、Cauchy問題と同様の漸近をすることが判った。定数状態の周りとなる場合は、やはりGreen関数の具体的表示を使って最良の漸近オーダーも得た。これは、T. Yang氏との共同研究としてまとめられ、J. Differential Equationsに掲載予定である。 一方、Cauchy問題で、定数状態の周りとならない場合は、変数係数の熱方程式のGreen関数を扱う必要があり、最近、Liu氏によって導入された近似Green関数の方法を用いて、最良の漸近オーダーが得られた。これは、W. Wang、T. Yang氏との共著論文として投稿中である。 更に、エントロピーも考慮したsystemに対して、定数状態の周りのCauchy問題の解の漸近挙動を考察し、西川雅堂氏との共著論文として作成準備中である。この場合は、空間変数のみに依る変数係数の熱方程式および線型強制項を持つ2階準線型波動方程式を考えねばならず、注意深いエネルギー評価と近似Green関数を組み合わせて、最適の漸近挙動を得た。

  • 粘性的双曲型保存則の方程式の非線型波の安定性(Ⅱ)

    1997  

     View Summary

    今年度の研究では、一次元粘性流の方程式系であるviscous p-systemに対する初期境界値問題の解の希薄波への漸近に関する成果を得た。右半空間において、右遠方の速度u+が、左側境界上における速度u-より大なるとき、対応するRiemannの問題の考察から、右方に進む希薄波(2-rarefaction wave)に漸近することが予想され、実際、それを証明した。 まず、u+-u-が小さく初期擾乱も小さいとき、希薄波の安定性を示した。証明は、通常の方法で、線型化された方程式に対するエネルギー法による。希薄波は、滑らかでないので、滑らかな近似を構成する必要があるが、作り方から、perturbationの境界値が零とすることが出来、Cauchy問題とほとんど同様の評価が可能となる。 更に、u+-u-の大きさに制限がなく、任意に与えられた初期擾乱に対しても、初期境界値問題の解が希薄波に漸近することが示された。これは、任意のデータに対する結果で、このような非線型の問題では最良といえるであろう。このときも希薄波の滑らかな近似を構成する必要があるが、上記と同じように作ることができない。従って、エネルギー評価をするとき境界からの未知の値が出て、ひとつひとつ丁寧に評価しなければならない。また、流体の比体積vが零にならないことを示すことも重要で、かなり注意深い評価を必要とする。また、ここでの方法はCauchy問題にも適用できて、松村―西原の結果(Commun. Math.Phys. 144(1992))も改良した。 これらの結果は、下記2つの論文に収められ、投稿中である。研究成果の発表T. Pan, H. Liu and K.

  • 粘性的双曲型保存則の方程式の非線型波の安定性

    1996  

     View Summary

     粘性的双曲型保存則の方程式の持つ非線型波--粘性的衝撃波、希薄波--の安定性は、1960 年、Il'in-Oleinik により単独方程式の場合に示され、連立の場合には、1985 年、松村氏と共同で申請者はその部分的解答を得た(J. Goodman も独立に同様の結果を得た)。それを契機に、散逸波、接触不連続波も含めて、盛んに研究がなされてきた。 本研究では、Porous media 中の圧縮性流をモデルとする、Damping 付きの双曲型保存系の散逸波の安定性に関し、いくつかの結果を得、それらは、次の二つの論文にまとめられた: 1. Convergence rates to nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions of system of hyperbolic conservation laws with damping, J. Differential Equations 131 (1996), 171-188. 2. Asymptotic behavior of solutions of quasilinear hyperbolic equations with linear damping, J. Differential Equations 137(1997),384-395. 1. では、Hsiao-Liu によって示された散逸波の安定性の結果について、その漸近の速さを改良した。方法は、エネルギー法と熱核を利用した。得られた結果はほぼ最良と思われる。2. では、1. の方法を更に進め、Linear dampingを持つ二階準線型波動方程式の解の漸近形が散逸波によって表されることを示した。 また、1, 2 で考察された方法は、Damping 付きの Thermoelastic system に対しても適用可能と思われるが、考察の余地が残っており検討中である。

  • 粘性をもつ双曲保存系における非線形型波の安定性

    1995  

     View Summary

    (粘性をもつ)双曲型保存則の方程式は,基本的な非線型波として,(粘性的)衝撃波と希薄波をもつ。これらの非線型波の安定性が本研究の目的であり,特に,2つの非線型波-粘性的衝撃波と希薄波-の重ね合せが期待される場合の考察を目標としている。 さて,異なるタイプの波の重ね合せが期待される場合には,波と波の相互作用があるのでその考察が肝要である。それについての予想は共同研究者との間で得られているが証明には未だ相当の準備が必要と思われる。一つの準備として,それぞれの波と境界との相互作用を考察し,得られた結果をまとめたものが次の2つの論文である。:・Asymptotic Behaviour for Scalar Viscous Conservation Laws with Boundary Effect(Prof. T.-P. Liuと共著)・Behaviors of Solutions for the Burgers Equation with Boundary Corresponding to Rarefaction Waves(Prof. T.-P. Liu,Prof. A. Matsumuraと共著) 前者の論文では,粘性的衝撃波が境界にはいり込む場合,及び境界から離れていく場合に,単独Burgers方程式の解の挙動を考察した。後者の論文では,希薄波に対して前者と同様の考察を行った。この場合には,境界及び無限大における特性速度の正負によって,波が(1)境界に入り込んだり,(2)境界から離れたり,(3)境界近くの波は境界にはいり込み遠方では益々離れていったりする。(1)の場合,境界との相互作用によって実は波は粘性的衝撃波となる。(2)は希薄波である。その結果,(3)の場合は,希薄波と粘性的衝撃波の重ね合せが漸近状態となって,ある意味で目標に近い状態での安定性も得られた。しかし,境界がない場合には粘性的衝撃波のlocationの決定が本質的で,ここでは,境界がlocationを決定しており,その難しさは避けられている。本来の目標は今後の研究課題である。 方程式系に対する粘性的衝撃波の安定性は次の論文で得られている。: Nonlinear Stability of Travelling Waves for One-Dimensional Viscoelastic Materials with Non-ConvexNonlinearity (with Dr. Ming Mei)
