Optimal decay rates of the compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping in $\mathbb R^n$: (I) under-damping case (2006.00401v1)

Published 31 May 2020 in math.AP

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations with time-dependent damping of the form $-\frac{\mu}{(1+t)\lambda}\rho\boldsymbol u$ in $\mathbb Rn$, where $n\ge2$, $\mu>0$, and $\lambda\in[0,1)$. When $\lambda>0$ is bigger, the damping effect time-asymptotically gets weaker, which is called under-damping. We show the optimal decay estimates of the solutions such that $|\partial_x\alpha (\rho-1)|{L2(\mathbb Rn)}\approx (1+t){-\frac{1+\lambda}{2}(\frac{n}{2}+|\alpha|)}$, and $|\partial_x\alpha \boldsymbol u|{L2(\mathbb Rn)}\approx (1+t){-\frac{1+\lambda}{2}(\frac{n}{2}+|\alpha|)-\frac{1-\lambda}{2}}$, and see how the under-damping effect influences the structure of the Euler system. Different from the traditional view that the stronger damping usually makes the solutions decaying faster, here surprisingly we recognize that the weaker damping with $0\le\lambda<1$ enhances the faster decay for the solutions. The adopted approach is the technical Fourier analysis and the Green function method. The main difficulties caused by the time-dependent damping lie in twofold: non-commutativity of the Fourier transform of the linearized operator precludes explicit expression of the fundamental solution; time-dependent evolution implies that the Green matrix $G(t,s)$ is not translation invariant, i.e., $G(t,s)\ne G(t-s,0)$. We formulate the exact decay behavior of the Green matrices $G(t,s)$ with respect to $t$ and $s$ for both linear wave equations and linear hyperbolic system, and finally derive the optimal decay rates for the nonlinear Euler system.
