Entropy Methods for Reaction-Diffusion Equations: Slowly Growing A-priori Bounds

چکیده
In the continuation of [DF], we study reversible reaction-diffusion equations via entropy methods (based on the free energy functional) for a 1D system of four species. We improve the existing theory by getting 1) almost exponential convergence in L1 to the steady state via a precise entropy-entropy dissipation estimate, 2) an explicit global L ∞ bound via interpolation of a polynomially growing H1 bound with the almost exponential L1 convergence, and 3), finally, explicit exponential convergence to the steady state in all Sobolev norms.

Entropy Methods for Reaction-Diffusion Equations: Degenerate Diffusion and Slowly Growing A-priori Bounds
In the continuation of [DF], we study reversible reaction-diffusion equations via entropy methods (based on the free energy functional) in two situations of degeneracy: Firstly, for a two species system, we show explicit exponential convergence to the unique constant steady state when spatial diffusion of one specie vanishes but the system still obeys the same steady state. Secondly, for a syst...
متن کاملLarge time behavior of the a priori bounds for the solutions to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equations with soft potentials
We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for regularized soft potentials and Grad’s angular cutoff. We prove that uniform (in time) bounds in L((1 + |v|)dv) and H norms, s, k ≥ 0 hold for its solution. The proof is based on the mixture of estimates of polynomial growth in time of those norms together with the quantitative results of relaxation to equilibrium in L obtained by the...
متن کاملBounds for the dimension of the $c$-nilpotent multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras
In this paper, we study the Neumann boundary value problem of a class of nonlinear divergence type diffusion equations. By a priori estimates, difference and variation techniques, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of this problem.
متن کاملThe quasineutral limit in the quantum drift-diffusion equations
The quasineutral limit in the transient quantum drift-diffusion equations in one space dimension is rigorously proved. The model consists of a fourth-order parabolic equation for the electron density, including the quantum Bohm potential, coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential. The equations are supplemented with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. For the proof unif...
