On asymptotic behavior of solution to a nonlinear wave equation with Space-time speed of propagation and damping terms

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solution to the nonlinear damped wave equation utt – div(a(t, x)∇u) + b(t, x)ut = −|u|p−1u t ∈ [0, ∞), x ∈ Rn u(0, x) = u0(x), ut(0, x) = u1(x) x ∈ Rn with space-time speed of propagation and damping potential. We obtained L2 decay estimates via the weighted energy method and under certain suitable assumptions on the functions a(t, x) and b(t, x). The technique follows that of Lin et al.[8] with modification to the region of consideration in Rn. These decay result extends the results in the literature.

General stability and exponential growth of nonlinear variable coefficient wave equation with logarithmic source and memory term

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability and instability of solutions to a variable coefficient logarithmic wave equation with nonlinear damping and memory term. This model describes wave travelling through nonhomogeneous viscoelastic materials. By choosing appropriate multiplier and using weighted energy method, we prove the exponential decay of the energy. Besides, we also obtain the instability at the infinity of the solutions in the presence of the nonlinear damping.

Travelling wave fronts of Lotka-Volterra reaction-diffusion system in the weak competition case

This paper is concerned with spreading phenomena of the classical two-species Lotka-Volterra reaction-diffusion system in the weak competition case. More precisely, some new sufficient conditions on the linear or nonlinear speed selection of the minimal wave speed of travelling wave fronts, which connect one half-positive equilibrium and one positive equilibrium, have been given via constructing types of super-sub solutions. Moreover, these conditions for the linear or nonlinear determinacy are quite different from that of the minimal wave speeds of travelling wave fronts connecting other equilibria of Lotka-Volterra competition model. In addition, based on the weighted energy method, we give the global exponential stability of such solutions with large speed $c$ . Specially, when the competition rate exerted on one species converges to zero, then for any $c>c_0$ , where $c_0$ is the critical speed, the travelling wave front with the speed $c$ is globally exponentially stable.

Global stability of traveling wave fronts in a two-dimensional lattice dynamical system with global interaction

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper is concerned with the traveling wave fronts for a lattice dynamical system with global interaction, which arises in a single species in a 2D patchy environment with infinite number of patches connected locally by diffusion and global interaction by delay. We prove that all non-critical traveling wave fronts are globally exponentially stable in time, and the critical traveling wave fronts are globally algebraically stable by the weighted energy method combined with the comparison principle and the discrete Fourier transform.</p>

Boundary Effect on Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to the p-System with Time-Dependent Damping

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the p-system with time-dependent damping on the half-line R+=0,+∞, vt−ux=0,ut+pvx=−α/1+tλu with the Dirichlet boundary condition ux=0=0, in particular, including the constant and nonconstant coefficient damping. The initial data v0,u0x have the constant state v+,u+ at x=+∞. We prove that the solutions time-asymptotically converge to v+,0 as t tends to infinity. Compared with previous results about the p-system with constant coefficient damping, we obtain a general result when the initial perturbation belongs to H3R+×H2R+. Our proof is based on the time-weighted energy method.

Stability of Traveling Wave Fronts for a Three Species Predator-Prey Model with Nonlocal Dispersals

In this paper, we consider a predator-prey model with nonlocal dispersals of two cooperative preys and one predator. We prove that the traveling wave fronts with the relatively large wave speed are exponentially stable as perturbation in some exponentially weighted spaces, when the difference between initial data and traveling wave fronts decay exponentially at negative infinity, but in other locations, the initial data can be very large. The adopted method is to use the weighted energy method and the squeezing technique with some new flavors to handle the nonlocal dispersals.

Converge rates towards stationary solutions for the outflow problem of planar magnetohydrodynamics on a half line

In this paper, convergence rates of solutions towards stationary solutions for the outflow problem of planar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are investigated. Inspired by the relationship between MHD and Navier-Stokes, we prove that the global solutions of the planar MHD converge to the corresponding stationary solutions of Navier-Stokes equations. We obtain the corresponding convergence rates based on the weighted energy method when the initial perturbation belongs to some weighted Sobolev space.

Global Stability of Traveling Waves for a More General Nonlocal Reaction-Diffusion Equation

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global stability of traveling front solutions with noncritical and critical speeds for a more general nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation with or without delay. Our analysis relies on the technical weighted energy method and Fourier transform. Moreover, we can get the rates of convergence and the effect of time-delay on the decay rates of the solutions. Furthermore, according to the stability results, the uniqueness of the traveling front solutions can be proved. Our results generalize and improve the existing results.

Degenerate boundary layers for a system of viscous conservation laws

This paper is concerned with existence and asymptotic stability of a boundary layer solution which is a smooth stationary wave for a system of viscous conservation laws in one-dimensional half space. With the aid of the center manifold theory, it is shown that the degenerate boundary layer solution exists under the situation that one characteristic is zero and the other characteristics are negative. Asymptotic stability of the degenerate boundary layer solution is also proved in an algebraically weighted Sobolev space provided that the weight exponent [Formula: see text] satisfies [Formula: see text]. The stability analysis is based on deriving the a priori estimate by using the weighted energy method combined with the Hardy type inequality with the best possible constant.
