Preface With the study of soliton and chaos in modern physics, a large number of nonlinear evolution equations with nonlinear dispersion or dissipation have continuously emerged, including KdV equation, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, sine-Gordon equation, Zakharov equations, Landau-Lifshitz equations, Boussinesq equation etc., which have soliton solutions, Navier-Stokes equations and Newton-Boussinesq equations which describe phenomenons of turbulence and chaos, nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Zakharov equations with dissipation and damping etc. These equations are closely connected with physical problems, and their research contents are constantly enriched and developed. For example, in addition to the existence, uniqueness and regularity of classical solutions, the long time behavior of which is also studied, including decay, scattering and stability of solutions with respect to space and time, and blow up phenomenon (collapse) which may occur in finite time. There have been a lot of good work on the study of these problems, and many special estimation methods have been formed. On the basis of letting readers understand the physical background of these nonlinear evolution equations, the purpose of this book is to use a relatively simple and clear method and a relatively short space, to introduce some typical methods in the research of these equations, the interesting research contents and some important results obtained. For infinite dimensional dynamical systems, we mainly introduce the basic concepts and research methods of global attractor, inertial manifold, approximate inertial manifold, inertial set, nonlinear Galerkin method etc., in order to lead readers to have a rough, but a clear understanding about the overview of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. The research contents of nonlinear evolution equations are very rich and extensive. Various research methods and results emerge in an endless stream. Limited to author’s existing level and ability, this book is unavoidable to have many inappropriate, incomplete, and even wrong places. I would like to have further criticism and corrections.

Chapter 1 Physical Backgrounds for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations In 1834, the famous British scientist J. Scott. Russell [211] found solitary wave phenomenon. With the development of modern physics and mathematics, people’s interest in this phenomenon has increased in the past more than 40 years. Now, both numerical calculation and theoretical analysis have proved that a large number of nonlinear evolution equations have soliton solutions. The solitary waves have a very peculiar property that they maintain stable waveforms under interaction, which is similar to the property of particle collisions. Accordingly, Kruskal and N. J. Zabusky [242] named them as “solitons”. The solitary waves can not only be observed in nature, but also be produced in the laboratory. With the development of the study for the soliton problem, a large number of nonlinear evolution equations with soliton solutions have occurred in fluid physics, solid state physics, elementary particle physics, laser, plasma physics, superconductor physics, condensed matter physics, biophysics and many other fields. For example, the KdV equation deduced by shallow water wave in 1895 has been obtained in a series of problems such as ion acoustic wave, cold plasma magnetic fluid wave, nonlinear lattice and so on. This group of nonlinear evolution equations with soliton solutions are: nonlinear Schrödinger equation, sine-Gordon equation, Landau-Lifshitz equations, Boussinesq equation, two-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and so on. These equations have many features in common, such as: they can be solved by the inverse scattering method, have Bäcklund transformation and Darboux transformation, and posses an infinite number of conservation laws and extended structure etc. Since these nonlinear evolution equations belonging to integrable systems are closely related to physical problems, in this chapter, we will briefly introduce the physical background of some important equations. This is very helpful for the qualitative research of partial differential equations.

Chapter 1

Physical Backgrounds for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations

The wave equation under weak nonlinear action and KdV equation

As we know, KdV equation was first established by D. J. Korteweg and G. de Vries [181] in 1895, when they study water wave under the assumptions of long-wave approximation, small and finite amplitude. Now we begin to deduce the equation from water wave, then from other media under weak nonlinear action. We consider the inviscid incompressible fluid (water) with constant gravity field. The space coordinate system is (x1 , x2 , y), the components of the velocity field u are (u1 , u2 , v), the gravitational acceleration takes the negative direction of the axis y. So, there are equations ∇ · u = 0, (1.1.1) 1 ∂u + (u · ∇)u = ∇p − gj. ∂t ρ

(1.1.2)

Now let’s consider the irrotational motion, that is rot u = 0. Therefore, there exists the velocity potential u = ∇φ. By   1 2 |u| = (u · ∇)u − rot u × u = (u · ∇)u (1.1.3) ∇ 2 and integrating on both sides of (1.1.2), one has p − p0 1 = B(t) − φt − (∇φ)2 − gy, p0 2 where B(t) is any function, p0 is any constant. Let Z φ′ = φ − B(t)dt, then u = ∇φ,

1 p − p0 = −φ′t − (∇φ′ )2 − gy. p0 2

(1.1.4)

Here and in the sequel, denote φ′ by φ. According to (1.1.1), we get ∇ · u = 0 =⇒ ∇2 φ = 0.

(1.1.5)

Assume that the surface equation of water is f (x1 , x2 , y, t) = 0.

(1.1.6)

Just because the particle can not pass through the surface, the velocity of fluid which is orthogonal to that surface must equal the normal speed of the surface. The

−ft normal speed of (1.1.6) is q , the normal speed of the velocity of fluid 2 fx1 + fx22 + fy2 u1 fx + u2 fx2 + vfy is q 1 , the qual condition is fx21 + fx22 + fy2 ft + u1 fx1 + u2 fx2 + vfy = 0.

(1.1.7)

Especially, when y = η(x1 , x2 , t), f (x1 , x2 , y, t) ≡ η(x1 , x2 , t) − y, (1.1.7) shows that (1.1.8)

ηt + u1 ηx1 + u2 ηx2 = v.

In addition, on the free surface, p = p0 (ignore the movement of the air), then we obtain  ηt + φx1 ηx1 + φx2 ηx2 = φy ,
φt + 1 φ2 + φ2 + φ2 + gη = 0. x1 x2 y 2

(η = η(x1 , x2 , t))

(1.1.9)

Where u1 = φx1 , u2 = φx2 , v = φy . By the fixed boundary condition, the normal speed of the fluid must be 0, n · ∇φ = 0. Especially, in the bottom y = −h0 (x1 , x2 ), one has φy + φx1 h0x1 + φx2 h0x2 = 0. For horizontal bottom, there exist φy = 0, y = −h0 . Therefore, the formulation of the question is just like the following: look for the velocity potential φ and the surface η, satisfying ∇2 φ = 0;  ηt + φx1 ηx1 + φx2 ηx2 = φy ,
φt + 1 φ2 + φ2 + φ2 + gη = 0; x1 x2 y 2 φy = 0, y = −h0 .

(1.1.10) (y = η(x1 , x2 , t))

(1.1.11) (1.1.12)

For simplicity, in the following, we consider one-dimensional case, that is η = η(x, t). Let y be the height from the horizontal ground, here, φy = 0, y = 0. We introduce a h2 two parameters: α = , β = 20 , where a is the amplitude of the wave, l is the h0 l lt′ glφ′ 2 wavelength, y = h0 + η. Let x = lx′ , y = h0 y ′ , t = , η = aη ′ , φ = , c0 = 8h0 . c0 c0

(1.1.16)

where f = f0 (x, t). Substituting (1.1.16) into the first equation of (1.1.15), one has   (1 + αη)2 ηt + α fx − (1 + αη)ηx fxx β − fxxx β + · · · ηx 2 1 +(1 + αη)fxx − (1 + αη)3 fxxxx β + o(β 2 ) = 0, 3! that is,   1 α 3 2 ηt + {(1 + αη)fx }x − (1 + αη) fxxxx + (1 + αη) fxxx ηx β + o(β 2 ) = 0. 6 2 (1.1.17) Similarly, Substituting (1.1.16) into the second equation of (1.1.15), one has 1 1 2 }β + o(β 2 ) = 0. η + ft + αfx2 − (1 + αη)2 {fxxt + αfx fxx − α′ fxx 2 2

(1.1.18)

In (1.1.17) and (1.1.18), if ignore the first degree term of β, and differentiate (1.1.18) with respect to x, then ( ηt + {(1 + αη)w}x = 0, (w = fx ) (1.1.19) wt + αwwx + ηx = 0. If reserve the first degree term of β, then  1  ηt + {(1 + αη)w}x − βwxxx + o(αβ, β 2 ) = 0, 6  wt + αwwx + ηx − 1 βwxxt + o(αβ, β 2 ) = 0. 2

(1.1.20)

If ignore the first and more degree terms of α, β in (1.1.20), then, when w = η, the two equations of (1.1.20) change into the same equation ηt + ηx = 0. So, w can be unfolded about α, β: w = η + αA + βB + o(α2 + β 2 ),

1.1

The wave equation under weak nonlinear action and KdV equation

where A, B are functions of η and the derivatives of η to x. By (1.1.20), one has   1 ηt + ηx + α(Ax + 2ηηx ) + β Bx − ηxxx + o(α2 + β 2 ) = 0, 6   1 ηt + ηx + α (At + ηηx ) + β Bt − ηxxt + o(α2 + β 2 ) = 0. 2 Since ηt = −ηx + o(α, β), the derivative with respect to t in the first order term can 1 1 be changed into that with respect to x, especially, when A = − η 2 , B = ηxx , the 4 3 two equations above coincide with each other, and 1 3 ηt + ηx + αηηx + βηxxx + o(α2 + β 2 ) = 0, 2 6

(1.1.21)

and

1 1 w = η − αη 2 + βηxx + o(α2 + β 2 ). 4 3 If ignore quadratic term in (1.1.21), then we can get the classical KdV equation 1 3 ηt + ηx + αηηx + βηxxx = 0. 2 6

(1.1.22)

Since ηt = −ηx + o(α, β), change ηxxx into −ηxxt in (1.1.22), then one has 3 1 ηt + ηx + αηηx − βηxxt = 0, (1.1.23) 2 6 which is the BBM equation. Next, we deduce a kind of rather extensively wave equations under weak nonlinear action. At last, they can be summed up as KdV equation or Burgers equation  nt + (nu)x = 0, (1.1.24)       (nu)t + (nu2 + P )x = 0, (1.1.25)   P = P (f, n, u, fi , ni , ui , fij , nij , uij , · · · ),     F (f, n, u, fi , ni , ui , fij , nij , uij , · · · ) = 0,

(1.1.26) (1.1.27)

where n, u, f are state variables, n represents the number density of the particle, u represents the velocity of the particle, i, j represent the derivatives with respect to the space variable x and the time variable t respectively, P represents the function of state variables (n, u, f ) and their derivatives. If f represents function of the parameters, then P is a function of n, u and their derivatives. (1.1.24) is the mass conservation equation and (1.1.25) is the momentum conservation equation. In the following, we introduce some examples: (1) Gas dynamics: f is the pressure p, P =

F = p − Aρr ,

where ρ is the density, µ is the viscous coefficient. (2) Shallow water wave: η is the depth of the water h, at the moment, there are only two variables h and u, P =

1 2 1 3 gh − h (uxt + uuxx + u2x ). 2 3

(1.1.29)

(3) Magnetohydrodynamic wave in cold plasmas: f is the magnetic intensity B, 1 P = B2, 2   Bx F ≡B−n− = 0. (1.1.30) n x (4) Ion acoustic wave in cold plasmas: f is the electrostatic potential, ψ is the wave function, 1 P = eψ − ψx2 , 2

F ≡ n − eψ + ψxx = 0.

(1.1.31)

In the state of local thermodynamics equilibrium, if all the derivatives in P and F vanish, then P = P (f, n),

F (f, n) = 0.

(1.1.32)

By (1.1.25), one has nut + nuux + Px = 0,

Px =

∂F ∂f ∂F ∂n ∂f + = 0, eliminating , we get ∂f ∂x ∂n ∂x ∂x   a2 Fn 2 ut + uux + nx = 0, a = Pn − Pf . n Ff

Then by applying

If a2 > 0, then  nt + (nu)x = 0, 2 u + uu + a n = 0. t x x n

dx (1.1.33) are hyperbolic equations, the characteristic line of which is = u ± a, dt where a is the wave velocity. By small perturbations from the homogeneous state, we get the wave equation utt − a20 uxx = 0,

where a0 is the homogeneous wave velocity. In the following derivation of KdV equation and Burgers equation, the effects of the nonlinear terms with small perturbations must be considered, that is the effect of the derivatives of P and F . Let us do the following transformation ( ξ = εα (x − a0 t), (1.1.34) τ = εα+1 t, where ε < 1 is the amplitude of the initial perturbations; the exponent α > 0 is undetermined, and a0 is a kind of wave velocity which is a constant. By (1.1.34), (1.1.24) and (1.1.25), one has εnτ + (u − a0 )nξ + nuξ = 0, εuτ + (u − a0 )uξ + n

The state variables (n, f, u) must be performed asymptotic expansions with respect to ε near the equilibrium A = (n, f, u) = (n0 , f0 , 0): n = n0 + εn(1) + ε2 n(2) + · · · , f = f0 + εf (1) + ε2 f (2) + · · · , u = 0 + εu(1) + ε2 u(2) + · · · . P and F are also performed expansions to get P = P0 + Pf0 (f − f0 ) + Pn0 (n − n0 ) + Pu0 (u − u0 ) + o(ε2 ), F = F0 + Ff0 (f − f0 ) + Fn0 (n − n0 ) + Fu0 (u − u0 ) + o(ε2 ).

Next, we give a brief introduction of the soliton solutions of KdV equation ut + u ux + µ uxxx = 0,

(1.1.40)

where µ can be positive or negative. If µ < 0, via the transformations u → −u, x → −x, t → t, then (1.1.40) transforms into ut + u ux − µ uxxx = 0.

(1.1.41)

Thus, we set µ > 0. Making u(x, t) = u(ξ), ξ = x − D t, D = const, substituting them into (1.1.41), and integrating twice with respect to ξ, we have  3µ

2 = −u3 + 3D u2 + 6A u + 6B = f (u),

(1.1.42)

with A and B being integral constants. The solution of (1.1.42) is real only if f ⩾ 0 and µ > 0. If f (u) only has one real root, then it must be unbounded. Now, we assume that function f (u) has three real roots, i.e., f (u) = −(u − c1 )(u − c2 )(u − c3 ), 1 1 c1 < c2 < c3 . We conclude that D = (c1 + c2 + c3 ), A = (c1 c2 + c2 c3 + c3 c1 ), 3 6 1 B = c1 c2 c3 . The general form of f (u) can be expressed by curve A in Figure 1.1. 6 The exact solution for Eq. (1.1.42) can be represented as Jacobi elliptic function   r  c3 − c1 1 u = u(x, t) = c2 + (c3 − c2 )cn 2 x − (c1 + c2 + c3 )t , k , (1.1.43) 12µ 3 with k 2 = (c3 − cr 2 )/(c3 − c1 ). Eq. (1.1.43) is usually called as cnoidal wave, whose 3µ period is Tp = 4k , since the real period of function cn is 2k, with k being c3 − c1 the elliptic integral of the first kind.

Under k = 0, cn (ξ, 0) = cos ξ, the oscillation solution for Eq. (1.1.42) reads as  r   c3 − c1 1 u = c¯ + a cos 2 x − (c1 + c2 + c3 )t , (1.1.44) 12µ 3

(1.1.46)

where u∞ is the homogeneous state at infinity, a denotes the amplitude of soliton. From Solution (1.1.46), we can see that the velocity of the solitary wave comparing to the homogeneous state is proportional to amplitude, while the width is inversely proportional to the square root of amplitude, and the amplitude is independent of the homogeneous state. If u∞ = 0, µ = 1, then we get from (1.1.46) that √ 2 D (x − D t). (1.1.47) u(x, t) = 3D sech 2

Zakharov equations and the solitons in plasma

Since the late 60s, many articles have studied the propagation of solitary waves in plasma. In the laser target, people observed the density depression forming near the critical surface, the propagation of the vorticity solitary waves caused by collapse, the solitons that occur when a laser beam naturally focuses in a nonlinear medium, the Langmuir solitons caused by high-frequency electric field and optical solitons produced by high-frequency horizontal field, etc. Due to the continuous improvement of experimental technology, in the interaction between plasma and laser, more and more significant phenomenons of solitons have been observed. From equations of two-fluid mechanics, we can get the important Zakharov equations [243], nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Ion acoustic soliton, Langmuir soliton, Optical soliton, etc. The equations of two-fluid mechanics are composed of the fluid mechanic equations of electron and ion. The ion equations are ∂ni + ∇ · (ni vi ) = 0, ∂t     ∂vi vi × B ni M + vi ∇vi = −Ti ∇ni + ni e E + ; ∂t c

Ti , Te represent the temperatures of the ion and electron. e is the electron charge, E represents the electric field intensity, while B represents ∂ ∂ ∂ +j +k . the magnetic field intensity. c represents the speed of light. ∇ = i ∂x ∂y ∂z Because the velocity of ion is small, we can ignore the magnetic field’s effect acting vi × B on it, that means, taking = 0 in (1.2.2). Since the size of the problem we c considered is very small, only being a few microns, here, we choose Ti , Te to be constants. Just like the usual method, the motion of the plasma can be divided into two parts: low frequency and high frequency. Ions only do high-frequency motion. And the electron and field quantities are divided into low-frequency (the subscript is l) and high-frequency (the subscript is h) parts, that is ne = nl + nh ,

d d f (x, t) = dt dt

and assume f (x, t) = f (x, t), that means the average amount is independent of t. Now, let’s do high-frequency averaging for physical quantities. That is, choose the frequency w to satisfy 1 1 1 > > . T wl Tw T wh So, one has fh (x, t) = 0,

nl (x, t) = nl (x, t)

nh (x, t) = 0,

n l − ne = nh .

For the ion equations, because there’s only the low-frequency oscillation, no changes occur by doing high-frequency averaging while it only needs to change the electric field intensity E into El , so we get ∂ni + ∇ · (ni vi ) = 0, ∂t   ∂vi ni M + vi ∇vi = −Ti ∇ni + ni eEl . ∂t

The equations (1.2.27)∼(1.2.31) are closed, that is, there are five unknown functions and functional vectors: ni , nl , vi , El , Eh , and the number of the equations (include the vector equations) is also five. There are at least three waves: ion acoustic wave, plasma wave and optical wave. Each wave has a nonlinear term which produces space condensation: that of ion acoustic wave is a transport term vi ∇vi , that of plasma and optical waves are the nonlinear terms in the equation (1.2.31). All of the three kinds of waves have dispersion terms: a charge separation term ∇ · El for ion acoustic wave, vl2 ∇2 Eh for plasma wave and c2 ∇2 Eh for optical wave. Due to the interaction of the nonlinear terms and dispersion terms leading to some kind of balance, sound, plasma, and optical solitons are formed. From these equations, one can get Zakharov equation and nonlinear Schrödinger equation, etc.

The depth is inversely proportional to the square of m1 the width. When c2 ≪ 1, by static approximation, it deduces from (1.2.64) that

n = −|ε|2 .

Substitute that into (1.2.65), then it becomes the nonlinear Schrödinger equation iεt + εxx + |ε|2 ε = 0.

At this moment, one can get whister soliton. The symbol before the interaction term of (1.2.70) is opposite to that of Zakharov equations, which leads to that the movement of this soliton is supersonic, and the soliton has a density peak which is different from the density pit of Langmuir equation. When c → 1, that is, when it is near the sound velocity, we can find from the expression of the soliton (1.2.67) that all of the density fluctuation of plasma, energy and the width of soliton etc. tend to zero. Therefore, some physicists propose to use Boussinesq equation or KdV equation to instead of acoustic wave equation.

H l is the effective magnetization, when there exists an electromagnetic field, it holds that H l = ∆z + H,

(1.3.2)

where H(x, t) stands for the magnetic field intensity, by coupling with the Maxwell equation, it turns into 4π 1 ∂E + J, c ∂t c 1 ∂ ∇×E =− (H + 4πz), c ∂t ∇ · (H + 4πz) = 0, ∇ · E = 0, ∇×H =

(1.3.7)

where the first term represents the motion of magnetization z around the effective magnetic field H e , the second term is the Gilbert dissipative term. Since the LandauLifshitz equations are important equations of motion in ferromagnetic medium, in recent decays, many mathematicians and physicists have paid more attention to them. In 1979, Lakshmanan et al. studied the soliton solution of the following one-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz equations without external magnetic field and dissipation zt = z × zxx ,

and they get the following spin wave solutions in the form of z = z(x − ct), z = a cos α + {b cos(kx − wt) + c sin(kx − wt)} sin α,

where z = (u, v, w), |z| = 1. Then (1.3.8) changes into θt = −2θx φx cos θ − φxx sin θ, φt sin θ = θxx − (φx )2 sin θ cos θ.

(1.3.13)

where the constant vector h = (0, 0, h), h = ̸ 0, and they get the following spin wave solutions of (1.3.13) in the form of z = z(x − ct), q q (1.3.14) zt = ( 1 − s20 cos ξ, 1 − s20 sin ξ, s0 ), where ξ = kx − wt + φ, s0 , h, w, φ are all constants.

L. A. Takhtajon, H. C. Fogedby et al. studied the soliton solution of (1.3.13) by using inverse scattering method, and Takhtajon obtained N -soliton solution of (1.3.13). Zakharov proved the standard equivalence between the Landau-Lifshitz equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Thereafter, there are a series of meaningful research work for, such as, the integrability, infinite conservation laws and Hamilton results of the Landau- Lifshitz equations, especially, the relationship with the nonlinear schrödinger equation.

Physical Backgrounds for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations

From the angle of partial differential equation, it’s very interesting to study the Landau-Lifshitz equation (1.3.8) can be rewritten into zt = A (z)zxx , where



0  A (z) =  w −v

 v  −u  . 0

(1.3.17)

It’s not difficult to prove that the coefficient matrix A (z) has the following properties (i) zero definite, that is ξ · A (z)ξ = 0,

where ξ, z ∈ R3 .

(ii) singular, that is det A (z) = 0,

where z ∈ R3 .

In fact, A (z) is a three-order symplectic matrix. Therefore, (1.3.16) is strongly degenerate, strongly coupled quasi linear parabolic equations. Since 1982, we carried out a systematic study on several kinds of problems for determining solution to the Landau-Lipshitz equations (where include the one-dimensional and high-dimensional space cases).

Boussinesq equation, Toda Lattice and Born-Infeld equation

E. Femi et al. examined a mechanical system formed by 64 particles with equal mass connected by nonlinear springs. And they considered the following equations respectively h i  2 2  x ¨i = (xi+1 + xi−1 − 2xi ) + α (xi+1 − xi ) − (xi − xi−1 ) ,    h i 3 3 (1.4.1) x ¨ = (x + x − 2x ) + β (x − x ) , − (x − x ) i i+1 i−1 i i+1 i i i−1     x ¨i = δ1 (xi+1 − xi ) − δ2 (xi − xi−1 ) + c, where i = 1, 2, · · · , 64, with the periodic initial value xi (0) = sin

At that moment, Femi considered only in the frequency space, and failed to find the soliton solution. Later, Toda investigated the nonlinear vibration of the lattice, approximated this case, and obtained the soliton solution which gave a correct answer to Femi’s problem. We consider the crystal as a chain pulled by springs with mass, for example, if rn (t) indicates the departure of the nth spring from its equilibrium position, then we can get the ordinary differential difference equations (equations of motion) m¨ rn = 2f (rn ) − f (rn+1 ) − f (rn−1 ),

(1.4.5)

where n = 0, ±1, ±2, · · · ; f (r) represents the force of the spring; Toda assumed that f (r) = −α(1 − e−βr ), when f (r) is a linear function, for instance, f (r) = −γr, then m¨ rn = γ (rn+1 + rn−1 − 2rn ) .

(1.4.6)

Assume that its traveling wave solution is rn = a cos θ,

θ = wt − pn,

then substituting it into (1.4.6) leads to the dispersion relation p mw2 = 4 sin2 . γ 2 In the nonlinear case, Toda’s method is that: let s˙ n = f (rn ), then (1.4.5) turns into the following equivalent equations s˙ n = f (rn ),

mr˙n = 2sn − sn+1 − sn−1 .

Since
f (r) = −a 1 − e−βr , s¨n = f ′ (rn )r˙n = −αβe−βrn r˙n = −β (α + s˙ n ) r˙n , then

(1.4.11)

where λ1 , λ2 are real constants. In the approximation of long wavelengths and small amplitudes, we can get the KdV equation ut + uux + µuxxx = 0,

(1.4.12)

where µ is a real constant. M. Born and M. L. Infeld got the following Born-Infeld equation when they do nonlinear correction of Maxwell equation

1 − φ2t φxx + 2φx φt φxt − 1 + φ2x φtt = 0.

(1.4.13)

In 1966, Barbaskov and Chernikov got the soliton solution of the above equation. When 1 + φ2x − φ2t > 0, one can get (1.4.13) is a hyperbolic equation. Let ξ = x − t, η = x + t, u = φξ , v = φη , then by (1.4.13), we get the equivalent equations ( uη − uξ = 0, (1.4.14) v 2 uξ − (1 + 2uv)uη + u2 vη = 0. ∂(u, v) ̸ 0, then uξ = Jηv , uη = −Jξv , vξ = −Jηu , vη = Jξu . = ∂(ξ, η) So, by (1.4.14), we have ( ξv − ηu = 0,

Assume J =

(1.4.15)

which leads to u2 ξuu + (1 + 2uv)ξuv + v 2 ξvv + 2uξu + 2vξv = 0.

Petviashvili [174] put forward the 2D KdV equation, that is, by considering a small disturbance of another space variable y of ∂φ the KdV equation, which means that add a small disturbance , and considering ∂η the dispersive relationship, we have ut + uux + uxxx = φy , φx = ∓

where ∓ represent negative, positive dispersive, respectively, c is the propagation velocity of perturbation wave. Differentiating (1.5.1) with respect to x, differentiating (1.5.2) with respect to y and eliminating φxy lead to c (ut + uux + uxxx )x ± uyy = 0, 2

(1.5.3)

which is the K-P equation (see [22, 179, 213]). Obviously, if u does not depend on y, it is just the KdV equation, and if u does not depend on t, change y into t, actually, it is just the Boussinesq equation (see [157, 158, 161]). Consider the nonlinear equations ( Φx = M Φ + AΦy , (1.5.4) Φt = N Φ + BΦy + CΦyy , where

Chapter 2 The Properties of the Solutions for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations With the development of theory of soliton, people pay more attention to a large number of nonlinear evolution equations with soliton solutions. For example: KdV equation [37, 71, 81, 83, 118, 122], nonlinear Schrödinger equation [23, 62, 68–70], nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation [60, 124, 125, 160, 195, 234], Zakharov equations [27, 74, 93, 100, 159], Landau-Lifshitz equations [110, 120, 121, 147], Benjamin-Ono equation [119, 153, 233, 252], and so on. These equations belong to the integrable system or close to the integrable system, and besides this important characteristic of the solitons, there are also other obvious physical features: the unity of dispersion and nonlinearity; possessing some kind of volatility, while their solutions have some kind of smoothness; some kind of decay property to the solutions as t → ∞ (or x → ∞), and scattering property. Moreover, people have found that the decay and the smoothness of the solution are closely related. Since these equations are closely related to the latest research on physics, the theoretical study of the method of solution and the property has far gone beyond the traditional method of research. For example, there is an accurate and very important method named scattering inversion method, which opens up a new way for the theoretical study of partial differential equations, Bäcklund transformation which is a method to get special solution, and extended structural method established by external differential form of differential geometric and Lie groups, etc. Meanwhile, in terms of the theoretical research of this kind of nonlinear partial differential equations, it is impossible to copy some traditional methods in the past. For example, for KdV equation, nonlinear Schrödinger equation etc., although their solutions have good smoothness, they do not have extremum principle. Therefore, the integral estimation method must be adopted. But what is different from the usual is that the integral estimation must fully utilize a variety of forms of conservation laws. That is to establish the a priori estimates and the integral inequalities of the coupling solution. As P. D. Lax points out: “For KdV equation, the mean characteristic of which is that it has infinite conservation laws.” The qualitative study of these equations is mainly focused on: global existence and

30 Chapter 2

uniqueness of the solution under weak conditions; accurate estimations for decay rate of the solution, as t → ∞; partial regularity of the solution when t > 0 and blow up phenomenon of the solution in a variety of norms under certain conditions. In chapter 3, some research results of several kinds of nonlinear evolution equations will be listed. In this chapter, we’ll take several classical equations as examples, and give a brief introduction to the classical methods of the above research contents, so that one can understand the scope and depth of the research on these problems and master the main methods.

where p ∈ [1, ∞), ci is a positive constant (i = 1, 2, 3). We’ll prove that when p ∈ [2, 3), there exists a global smooth solution. When p = 2, Brezis-Gallouet have obtained related results [14]. Denote H by the function space H = {u|u ∈ H 3 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω), ∆u ∈ H01 (Ω)}. Theorem 2.1.1 Let 2 ⩽ p < 3. For any u0 ∈ H , the problem (2.1.1)∼(2.1.3) has a unique global smooth solution u(x, t) satisfying u(x, t) ∈ L∞ (0, T ; H ),

ut (x, t) ∈ L∞ (0, T ; H01 (Ω)).

Proof We can use Galerkin approximation to construct our global approximate solutions. In order to prove the convergence of these approximate solutions, the key ingredient is to get the a priori estimates of the approximate solutions. To this

end, we only need to establish the a priori estimates of the solutions to the problem (2.1.1)∼(2.1.3), since the estimates for Galerkin approximate solutions are the same.

Here we have obtained the estimates needed, so, the proof of Theorem 2.1.1 is finished. Some results of nonlinear Schrödinger equation can refer to [14,72,73,76,79,84,85, 89–92,94–96,99,102,131,134,136,141,150,151,156,166–169,176,178,235,236] and the references therein.

2.2

The existence of the weak solution for the initial-boundary value problem of generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations

We consider the following initial-boundary value problem of generalized LandauLifshitz Equations  z = z × zxx + f (x, t, z), 0 < x < l, t > 0, (2.2.1)   t zx (0, t) = zx (l, t) = 0, t ⩾ 0, (2.2.2)   z(x, 0) = z0 (x), 0 ⩽ x ⩽ l, (2.2.3) where z = (u, v, w) is an unknown 3D vector valued function, f (x, t, z) is a 3D vector valued function with respect to x, t, z. “×” means the cross product of two 3D vectors, z0 (x) is a 3D vector valued initial function. (2.2.1) can be regarded as strongly degenerate quasilinear parabolic equations. So, the coefficient matrix of the derivative of the second order is a symplectic matrix, which is zero definite and its determinant is strange. By vanishing viscosity method and Leray-Schauder fixed point principle, we establish the existence of weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.1)∼(2.2.3). 2.2.1

We consider the initial-boundary value problem of linear parabolic equations  u − A(x, t)uxx + B(x, t)ux + C(x, t)u = f (x, t), (2.2.4)   t ux (0, t) = ux (l, t) = 0, (2.2.5)   u(x, 0) = u0 (x), (2.2.6) where u(x, t) and u0 (x) are two N D vector valued functions.

Lemma 2.2.1 Assume linear parabolic equations (2.2.4) and the initial function u0 (x) satisfy the following conditions: (1) A(x, t) is an N × N positive definite matrix in QT = {0 ⩽ x ⩽ l, 0 ⩽ t ⩽ T }; (2) A(x, t), B(x, t) and C(x, t) are N × N bounded measurable matrix; (3) f (x, t) is an N D vector valued function which is square integrable in QT ; (4) u0 (x) ∈ W21 (0, l) is an N D vector valued function which is suitable for the boundary condition, then there exists a unique vector valued solution to the initialboundary value problem (2.2.4)∼(2.2.6), u(x, t) ∈ L∞ (0, T ; W21 (0, l)) ∩ W2

(2.2.8) where the constant k only depends on the norms of the coefficients A, B, C of (2.2.4).

The Properties of the Solutions for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations

According to the conditions of Lemma 2.2.1, it’s easy to deduce (2.2.8). we can get the existence of solution to the initial-boundary value problem by using parameter continuation method, while we can get the uniqueness of solution directly by (2.2.8), this finishes the proof of Lemma 2.2.1. 2.2.2

The existence of the spin equations

We call the equations with small diffusion terms as spin equations zt = εzxx + z × zxx + f (x, t, z),

ε > 0,

(2.2.9)

which are obviously parabolic equations. Now we consider the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.2), (2.2.3) of the quasilinear parabolic equations (2.2.9). Let 3D vector valued functional space B = L∞ (QT ) be the base space of fixed point, we define a functional mapping Tλ : B → B with parameter 0 ⩽ λ ⩽ 1 which maps the base space to itself, such that: for every u ∈ B, the image z = Tλ (u) is a 3D vector valued solution to the initial-boundary value problem (1.3.2), (1.3.3) of the linear parabolic equations zt = εzxx + λu × zxx + f (x, t, u),

(2.2.10)

where 0 ⩽ λ ⩽ 1. By Lemma 2.2.1, z = Tλ (u) is uniquely determined by the initialboundary value problem (2.2.10), (2.2.2), (2.2.3), and belongs to vector functional space
(2,1) G = L∞ 0, T ; W21 (0, l) ∩ W2 (QT ) . Obviously, for any λ, functional operator Tλ is fully continuous; moreover, for any bounded set M in the state space B, operator Tλ is uniformly continuous for 0 ⩽ λ ⩽ 1. In order to use the fixed point theorem to prove the global existence of the 3D vector valued generalized solution to the initial-boundary value problem of generalized spin equations (2.2.10), we need to get the uniform a priori estimates with respect to parameter 0 ⩽ λ ⩽ 1 for all possible fixed points of the mapping Tλ . For this aim, we assume that: (i) 3D vector valued function f (x, t, z) is continuously differentiable with respect to x and z. 3×3 Jacobi matrix of derivatives fz (x, t, z) is semi bounded, that is, for any 3D vector ξ ∈ R3 , there exists a constant b, such that ξfz (x, t, z)ξ ⩽ b|ξ|2 , where (x, t, z) ∈ QT × R3 . And f0 (x, t) = f (x, t, 0) ∈ L2 (QT );

(2.2.11)

where C(x, t) ∈ L∞ (QT ), d(x, t) ∈ L2 (QT ). By the quantity product of zt = εzxx + λz × zxx + λf (x, t, z)

z · zt = εz · zxx + λz · (z × zxx ) + λz · f (x, t, z).

The existence of the solution to the initial-boundary value problem of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations

Now we consider the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.2), (2.2.3) of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations (2.2.1). In the above proofs of Theorems 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, we see that the a priori estimates of the approximate solution are independent of λ. Lemma 2.2.4 estimates

The solution zε (x, t) obtained in Theorem 2.2.2 satisfies the


∥zε (·, t)∥L2 (0,l) ⩽ k3 ∥z0 ∥L2 (0,l) + ∥f0 ∥L2 (0,l) e(b+δ)t ,

where 0 ⩽ t ⩽ T, δ > 0, k3 and k4 are independent of ε. When ∥z0 ∥W21 (0,l) , ∥f0 ∥L2 (QT ) , ∥C∥L∞ (QT ) , ∥d∥L2 (QT ) are independent of the width l > 0 of the rectangular domain QT , k4 is independent of l > 0. Lemma 2.2.5 estimates

From (2.2.23), we get

where c4 is independent of ε and l. According to the definition of the negative order Hilbert space, we get Lemma 2.2.5. Lemma 2.2.6 For the above approximate solution, we have the following estimate ∥zε ∥C (1/2,1/4) (QT ) ⩽ (1 + l)k6 ,

(2.2.25)

where k6 is independent of ε. When ∥z0 ∥W21 (0,l) , ∥f0 ∥L2 (QT ) , ∥C∥L∞ (QT ) , ∥d∥L2 (QT ) are independent of l, k6 is independent of l. Proof Let

Obviously, we get sup ∥Wε (·, t)∥L2 (0,l) ⩽ lk4 . 0⩽t⩽T

which finishes the proof of Lemma 2.2.6. Now, we consider the limit process ε → 0. For the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.2), (2.2.3) of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations (2.2.1), we can give the definition of “weak solution”: Definition 2.2.7 The 3D vector valued function z(x, t) ∈ L2 (0, T ; W21 (0, l)) ∩ C(QT ) is named as the weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.2), (2.2.3) of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations (2.2.1), if for any text function φ(x) ∈ Φ = {φ|φ ∈ C 1 (QT ), φ(x, T ) ≡ 0}, it holds that ZZ Z l [φt z − φx (z × zx ) + φf (x, t, z)]dxdt + φ(x, 0)z0 (x)dx = 0.

For the approximate solution zε (x, t), it obviously holds that ZZ Z l [φt zε − εφx zεx − φx (zε × zεx ) + φx f (x, t, zε )]dxdt + φ(x, 0)z0 (x)dx = 0, 0

(2.2.27) where φ ∈ Φ. From Lemmas 2.2.4∼2.2.6, The set of 3D vector valued approximate solutions {zε (x, t)} of the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.9), (2.2.2), (2.2.3) is uniformly bounded with respect to ε > 0 in the space L∞ (0, T ; W21 (0, l)) ∩ 1 1 C ( 2 , 4 ) (QT ), where l is a fixed constant. We can choose a subsequence {zεi (x, t)} of the sequence {zε (x, t)}, such that there exists a 3D vector valued function z(x, t) on QT , moreover, {zεi (x, t)} uniformly tend to z(x, t) on QT , and {f (x, t, zεi (x, t))} uniformly tend to f (x, t, z(x, t)) on QT , {zεi x (x, t)} weakly tend to zx (x, t). There1 1 fore, z(x, t) ∈ L∞ (0, T ; W21 (0, l)) ∩ C ( 2 , 4 ) (QT ). In order to prove the convergence of the third term of (2.2.27)ε , we estimate ZZ ZZ φx (zεi × zεi x )dxdt − φx (z × zx )dxdt QT

so, when εi → 0, (2.2.27)ε tends to (2.2.26), which shows that the 3D vector valued limiting function z(x, t) is a weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem (2.2.2), (2.2.3) of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz equations.

Here we have finished the proof of Theorem 2.3.2. Now consider the third case of (2.3.1), that is the model with only dispersion. Here, it’s more difficult to get the decay estimate, because that its energy is conserved, that is |u(t)|2 =const. If its soliton solution will not decay as t → ∞, it’s also very difficult to get the decay estimate of the solution to the linearized equation. So, we let p(ξ) = |ξ|r−1 , r ⩾ 3, and consider the case of small initial data, If

then when u0 ∈ D(H 2 ), we can deduce that |u(t)x |2 is bounded; and when ∥u0 ∥ λ 2 is small enough, |u(t)|∞ is small enough. Similar to the proof of (iii) of Theorem 2.3.1, let 1

W (t) = sup (1 + τ ) r |u(τ )|∞ , 0⩽t⩽τ

We first deal with G1 (s). Applying the stationary phase method, and noting p(τ ) defined by (2.3.47) satisfying the conditions of Theorem 13.1 in P101 of P. J. Olver [201](the constants α, p, u, Q and λ mentioned in this theorem are taken separately (β − 1) to be 0, 1 − β, β , τ and 1), we deduce that 2   1 1 i π exp[is(1 − β)] − 21 G1 (s) = p e 4 ) (s → +∞). 1 + o(s  2 2 2 1 β(β − 1)s 2 For G2 (s), by integral transform τ = −τ ′ in (2.3.48) and Theorem 13.1 in the book of Olver, we have G2 (s) = G1 (s) + o(s− 2 )

(s → +∞).

G(s) = 2G1 (s) + o(s− 2 )

(s → +∞).

Therefore, 1

Then by the definition of s in (2.3.45), we get (2.3.40). (ii) The state of g(x) as x → +∞. Define β

where

p(τ ) = τ + τ β .

(2.3.52)

We find that p(τ ) is a monotone increasing function with respect to τ ∈ [0, ∞), and singularly map the domain [0, ∞) into itself. So, there exists the inverse function of p(τ ), denoted by h(σ), that is τ = h(σ). Since β > 1, p′ (τ ) exists for any τ ∈ [0, ∞), and p′ (τ ) ̸= 0, which keeps the existence of h′ (σ) for any σ ∈ [0, ∞). Therefore, we can change the integral variable, σ = p(τ ), then (2.3.52) is changed into Z ∞ G(s) = exp[isσ]h′ (σ)dσ. (2.3.53) 0

We use the following result to study the asymptotic state of G(s) as s → ∞.

Let v(ξ) ∈ C m−1 ([0, ∞)), such that lim v (k) (ξ) = 0, 0 < k ⩽ m − 1, then for a ξ→∞

real constant r, it holds that Z ∞ Z ∞ m−1 X v (k) (0) exp(irξ) m exp[irξ] v(ξ)dξ = + v (ξ)dξ, (2.3.54) k+1 (−ir) (−ir)m 0 0 k=0 R∞ where the integration on the right-hand side of (2.3.54) exists. If 0 |v (m) (ξ)|dξ < ∞, then the integration on the right-hand side of (2.3.54) is O(r−m ), r → ∞. If m = ∞, then Z ∞ ∞ X v (k) (0) exp[irξ] v(ξ)dξ ∼ , r → ∞. (2.3.55) (−ir)k+1 0 k=0

Now we consider the function h(σ). h(σ) is infinitely differentiable for any σ ∈ (0, ∞), which likes p(τ ) for τ ∈ (0, ∞). Further more, we have lim h(k) (σ) = 0

k−1

(k = 1, 2, · · · ),

while p′ (τ ) = O(τ β−1 ), τ → ∞, β > 1, so, (2.3.56) holds. Now let β > 1 be an integer, then h(k) (0) (k = 1, 2, · · · ) exists. And by (2.3.55), we get G(s) ∼

(2.3.60)

Then by (2.3.59) and (2.3.60), we get (2.3.41). When β = 2n + 1 (n = 1, 2, · · · ), h(σ) is an odd function of σ, so, h(2k) (0) = 0, k = 1, 2, · · · . In this case, the summation symbol on the right-hand side of (2.3.59) dose not appear, we obtain g(x) = o(x−µ ) (∀µ > 0).

(k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , n),

exp [isp(τ )] tends to 0 exponentially, the stationary points of p(τ ) are the roots of the following equation p′ (τ ) = 1 + (2n + 1)τ 2n = 0, which on the upper half plane of τ are τj∗ = (2n + 1)− 2n exp [iθj∗ ], 1

Then it’s easy to get the asymptotic form (2.3.42) of g(x), as x → +∞. At last, assume β is not an integer. Let β = m + 1 − δ, m = 1, 2, · · · , 0 < δ < 1. Since p(τ ) is continuously differentiable of m order on [0, ∞), we can deduce that h′ (σ) is differentiable of m − 1 order on [0, ∞), p′ (τ ) = 1 + βτ β−1 ,

p′′ (τ ) = β(β − 1)τ β−2 ,

and h′ (0) = 1, h(k) (0) = 0, 2 ⩽ k ⩽ m. So, by (2.3.54), one has Z ∞ exp[isσ] (m+1) 1 + h (σ)dσ. G(s) = −is (−is)m 0

(2.3.66)

By (2.3.57), for k ⩾ 2, we have h(k) (σ) ∼ −β(β − 1) · · · (β − k + 1)σ β−k

(σ → 0),

which deduce that the integral of G on the right-hand side of (2.3.62) satisfies the conditions of Theorem 13.1 in [201], so G(s) ∼

(s → ∞), (2.3.67)

substituting (2.3.67) into (2.3.51), we obtain (2.3.43). Here we have finished the proof of Theorem 2.3.4. Corollary 2.3.5 Assume that u0 (x) ∈ Lp (R) ∩ H 1 (R), then for α ⩾ estimate of the solution of equation (2.3.35) 1

(t > 0).

Further, it’s easy to prove |u(t)|L2 = |u0 (x)|L2 . By the interpolation between L2 and L∞ , we get (2.3.68). Here we have finished the proof of Corollary 2.3.5. Now we consider the estimate of the nonlinear problem. 3 As we all know, if u0 (x) ∈ H s (R), s > , then the initial value problem (2.3.33), 2 (2.3.34) has a unique global solution u ∈ L∞ ([0, T ]; H s (R)). Proposition 2.3.6 For u0 (x) ∈ H 3 (R), then for the solution to the initial value problem (2.3.33), (2.3.34), we have the following estimate:  Z t  |u(t)|H 3 ⩽ |u0 |H 3 exp c |u(τ )|λ−1 dτ (λ > 1).

(2.3.70)

We decompose the second term on the left side of (2.3.70) into four terms, then we get the following terms: (i) Z λ−1 2 2 uλ−2 ux (∂x3 u)2 dx ⩽ |u|λ−2 q > 1, (2.3.71) L∞ |∂x u|L∞ |u|H 3 ⩽ c|u|W 2,q |u|H 3 , (ii) Z uλ−2 (∂x2 u)2 ∂x3 udx ⩽ |u|λ−2 |∂x2 u|2L2λ |∂x3 u|L2 , L2λ

where we have used Hölder’s inequality. By Sobolev inequality |∂x2 u|L2λ ⩽ |∂x2 u|H 1

Further more, the solution to the problem (2.3.33), (2.3.34) asymptotically tends to that of the free problem, that is, there exist solutions u± to the linearized problem (2.3.35), such that |u(t) − u± (t)|H 2 → 0. (t → ±∞)

(2.3.90)

Proof For the solution to the problem (2.3.33), (2.3.34), we have estimate: |u(t)|H 3 ⩽ c|u0 |H 3 exp[cM (T )] ⩽ c|u0 |H 3 exp[cM0 ] ⩽ k, Let

Which shows that u± (t) has been defined, that is, when t → ±∞, it holds that |u(t) − u± (t)|H 2 → 0. It’s easy to prove that u± satisfy the linearized equation (2.3.35), then we have finished the proof of Theorem 2.3.8.

(2.4.8)

where constant c only depends on the L1 and L2 norms of u0 .

Noting u0 ∈ L2 , we obtain by Plancherel theorem that Z n |ˆ u|2 dξ ⩽ c(1 + t)− 2 +1 . Rn

In order to finish the proof of theorem, we need to establish the inequality (2.4.8). Take Fourier transform to (2.4.2), then we have u ˆt + |ξ|2 u ˆ = G(ξ, t),

(2.4.9)

where G(ξ, t) = −F (u, ∇u) − ξF (p). Here F means Fourier transform. Multiplying (2.4.9) with e|ξ| t , one has 2

Since u0 ∈ L1 , the Fourier transform belongs to L∞ , that is |ˆ u0 (ξ)| ⩽ c (∀ξ ∈ R),

(2.4.13)

where c is a determined constant. From (2.4.13) and (2.4.12), we achieve at |ˆ u(ξ, t)| ⩽ ce−|ξ| t + 2

2 c (1 − e−|ξ| t ), |ξ|

which leads to (2.4.8). Since the radius of s(t) is uniformly bounded with respect to t, (2.4.8) holds for any compact set K.

In order to finish the proof, we need to establish inequality (2.4.11). To this end, we analysis every term of G(ξ, t). For convective term, it holds that XZ Z ixξ |uj ui | |ξj |dx, div(u ⊗ u)e dξ ⩽ |F (u, ∇u)| = n n R

where we have used integration by parts and ∇ · u = 0. Since |uj ui (·, t)|1 ⩽ |uj (·, t)|2 |ui (·, t)|2 ⩽ |u0 |22 , we get |F (u, ∇u)| ⩽ c|ξ|.

(2.4.14)

Corresponding estimate of pressure can be deduced by equation X ∂ ∆p = − (ui uj ). ∂x ∂x i j i,j

(2.4.15)

Taking Fourier transform to (2.4.15), we obtain X |ξ|2 F (p) = ξi ξj F (ui uj ). i,j

F (ui uj ) ∈ L∞ leads to |ˆ p| ⩽ c.

(2.4.16)

Combining (2.4.14) and (2.4.16), one has |G(ξ, t)| ⩽ c|ξ|, which finished the proof of Theorem 2.4.1. Now we consider the case of f = ̸ 0. Theorem 2.4.2 Assume that u : Rn × R+ → Rn , p : Rn × R+ → R are smooth functions, and u vanishes at ∞, u and p satisfy   u + u · ∇u − ∆u + ∇p = f,   t (2.4.17) ∇ · u = 0,   u(x, 0) = u (x), x ∈ Rn . 0

If u0 ∈ L1 (Rn ) ∩ L2 (Rn ), f ∈ W −1,1 (Rn ), ∇f = 0, and |f (·, t)|2 ⩽ K(1 + t)− 2 , n

then |u(·, t)|22 ⩽ c(1 + t)− 2 , n

where the constant c depends on n, k, ∥u0 ∥L1 , ∥u0 ∥L2 .

so, α(T ) ⩽ c,

(2.4.22)

where constant c only depends on L2 norm of u0 and k. Repeating the proof of Theorem 2.4.1, similar to inequality (2.4.7), one has Z Z Z Z n n d 2 2 2 |ˆ u| dξ + |ˆ u| dξ ⩽ |ˆ u| dξ + u · f dx, dt Rn t + 1 Rn t + 1 s(t) Rn where s(t) is the same as the definition in Theorem 2.4.1.

(ξ ∈ S).

For this purpose, we need to prove |fˆ(ξ, t)| ⩽ c|ξ|, which is deduced by f ∈ W −1,1 . Therefore, the decay estimate in L2 norm of the solution to (2.4.17) can be deduced by a similar method in Theorem 2.4.1. Here we have finished the proof of Theorem 2.4.2. Assume that the solution of (2.4.17) satisfies u ∈ L1 (Rn ), n ⩾ 1, then

Corollary 2.4.3 Assume u0 , u and p satisfy the conditions in Theorem 2.4.1, f satisfies ∇ · f = 0, f ∈ W −1,1 , and |f (·, t)| ⩽ k1 (t + 1)−( 2 +1) . n

Let |u(·, t)|1 ⩽ k2 , then |u(·, t)|2 ⩽ c(t + 1)− 2 , n

where constant c only depends on k1 , k2 and the L1 , L2 norms of u0 . Proof Repeat the proof of Theorem 2.4.2, and apply |ˆ u(ξ, t)| ⩽ k2 , we can finish the proof of Corollary 2.4.3. Now we consider the decay in L2 norm of the Leray-Hopf weak solution to 3D Navier-Stokes equations   u + u · ∇u − ∆u + ∇p = f,   t (2.4.23) ∇ · u = 0,   u(x, 0) = u (x), 0

Firstly, we consider the case f = 0. We have the following results: Theorem 2.4.4 Assume u0 ∈ H ∩ L1 (R3 ), then there exists a Leray-Hopf weak solution u(t, x) to 3D Navier-Stokes equations (2.4.23) (f = 0) with the initial data u0 , such that |u(·, t)| ⩽ c(t + 1)− 4 , 1

(2.4.24)

where constant c only depends on the L1 and L2 norms of u0 . Theorem 2.4.5 Assume u0 ∈ H ∩ L1 (R3 ), uN and pN satisfy d uN + ψδ (uN )∇uN − ∆uN + ∇pN = 0, dt

where ψδ (u) is a smoothing function of u, which will defined later, then |uN (·, t)|2 ⩽ c(t + 1)− 4 , 1

(2.4.26)

where constant c only depends on the L1 and L2 norms of u0 . The proof of Theorems 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 need the following lemma: Lemma 2.4.6 Assume f ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ′ ), u ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ), p is a distribution, and ut − ∆u + ∇p = f

Remove a zero measure set outside, then u ∈ C(0, T ; H). The solution to (2.4.27) with initial data in H is unique in L2 (0, T ; V ). Lemma 2.4.7 Assume f ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ′ ), u0 ∈ H, w ∈ C ∞ (R3 ), ∇w = 0, then there exist a unique function u and a distribution p such that u ∈ C(0, T ; H) ∩ L2 (0, T ; V ), ut + w · ∇u − ∆u + ∇p = f holds on D in the sense of distribution, and u(0) = u0 (x). Corollary 2.4.8 Under the assumption of Lemma 2.4.7, it holds that w · ∇u ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ′ ), ut ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ′ ). In order to define smoothing function ψδ (x), we first define function ψ(x, t) : ZZ ψ(x, t) ∈ C ∞ , ψ ⩾ 0, ψdxdt = 1, supp ψ ⊂ {(x, t) : |x|2 < t, 1 < t < 2}.

For large initial data and large p, the “blow up” phenomenon may occur. In the case of E0 ⩽ 0, 4 p > 1 + , we prove that ∥∇u(t)∥2 will blow up in finite time, for some kind of n initial data φ.

Since y(0) > 0, kn > 0, the function y(t) is increasing, therefore, y(t) > 0. By (iii) of Lemma 2.5.1, one has Z Z d 2 2 r |u| dx = −4 Im r¯ uur dx = −4y(t) ⩽ 0, dt so, Z

The Properties of the Solutions for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations

The “blow up” problem for the solutions of some semilinear parabolic and hyperbolic equations

Now, we use the method of convex function to study the “blow up” phenomenon of the solution to some semilinear parabolic and hyperbolic equations. Lemma 2.6.1 Assume when t > 0, positive second order continuously differentiable function ψ(t) satisfies inequality ψ ′′ (t)ψ ′ (t) − (1 + α)(ψ ′ )2 ⩾ −2C1 ψψ ′ − C2 ψ 2 ,

(2.6.1)

where α > 0, C1 , C2 ⩾ 0, then when ψ(0) > 0, ψ ′ (0) > −r2 α−1 ψ(0), C1 + C2 > 0, it holds that ψ(t) → ∞, 1 r1 ψ(0) + αψ ′ (0) , t → t1 ⩽ t2 = p 2 ln 2 C1 + C22 r2 ψ(0) + αψ ′ (0) p p where r1 = −C1 + C12 + αC2 , r2 = −C1 − C12 + αC2 . If ψ(0) > 0, ψ ′ (0) > 0, C1 = C2 = 0, then ψ(t) → ∞,

t → t1 ⩽ t2 =

ψ(0) . αψ ′ (0)

Proof Let Φ(t) = ψ −α (t), then ψ ′ (t) , ψ 1+α (t) ψ ′′ (t)ψ(t) − (1 + α)ψ ′′ (t)2 Φ′′ (t) = −α . ψ 2+α (t) Φ′ (t) = −α

From(2.6.1) we have Φ′′ (t) + 2C1 Φ′ (t) − C2 Φ(t) ≡ f (t) ⩽ 0.

(2.6.2)

For C1 + C2 > 0, we can get the solution to (2.6.2) Z t 1 Φ(t) = β1 er1 t + β2 er2 t + f (τ )[er1 (t−τ ) − er2 (t−τ ) ]dτ ⩽ β1 er1 t + β2 er2 t , r1 − r2 0 (2.6.3) where β1 , β2 are determined by the following algebraic equations: ( β1 + β2 = Φ(0), β1 r1 + β2 r2 = Φ′ (0).

so, β1 = (r1 − r2 )−1 [Φ′ (0) − r2 Φ(0)] = −(r1 − r2 )−1 [αψ ′ (0) + r2 ψ(0)]ψ −α−1 (0) < 0, β2 = (r1 − r2 )−1 [αψ(0) + r2 ψ(0)]ψ −α−1 (0) > 0. From which, when t1 ⩽ t2 , t → t1 , Φ(t) → 0, that is, ψ(t) → ∞. When C1 = C2 = 0, the result of this lemma will directly deduced by (2.6.2). Here, we finish the proof of Lemma 2.6.1. Consider the Cauchy problem of the following parabolic equation in Hilbert space H: put = −Au + Bu + F (t, u),

(2.6.4)

where the operators p, A, B : H → H. A is a linear symmetric operator, p is a positive operator, A is a negative operator. F (t, u) is a nonlinear operator. Since F is Frechet differentiable with respect to fixed t, there exists a linear functional G(t, u), such that d G(t, u(τ )) = (F (t, u(τ )), uτ (τ )) . dt Moreover, assume that G(t, u(t)) smoothly depends on t, it holds the following relation d G(t, u(t)) = (F (t, u(t)), ut (t)) + Gt (t, u(t)), dt where u(t) smoothly depends on t. We are concerned about the state of the solution to (2.6.4) as t increases. For simplicity, we assume that the classical solution to (2.6.4) exists, let ∥p− 2 Bu∥ ⩽ M1 ∥A 2 u∥ + M2 ∥p 2 u∥ 1

where λ > 0, and assume B is a linear operator, then the result of Theorem 2.6.2 holds. Proof Let v(t) = u(t)e−λt , λ > 0, from (2.6.4), we know that v(t) satisfy the following equation e + Bv e + F (t, v), P vt = −Av

f(t, v) = e−λt F (t, eλt v). It’s easy to verify that e = A + λP , B e = B, F where A conditions in Theorem 2.6.2 are satisfied.

so, the assumption (2.6.6) is satisfied. In order to prove the following inequality holds   f(t, v), v , e t (t, v) ⩾ M3 F G

Remark 2.6.5 Conditions (2.6.29) and (2.6.30) don’t need (F (t, u), u) and G(t, u) to be positive, and constant M1 in condition (2.6.30) can be arbitrarily large. Theorem 2.6.4 can be extended to a more general case: the coefficient a of operators A, B and P ut can depend on t, but A(t) and a(t) should satisfy the following conditions |(At u, u)| ⩽ M1∗ ∥A 2 u∥2 , 1

Theorem 2.6.6 Assume that all the conditions in Theorem 2.6.4 are satisfied, M1 in (2.6.30) is replaced by M1′ . The coefficients of operators A, B and P ut depend on t, At (t) and a(t) satisfy (2.6.39), then the results of Theorem 2.6.4 holds. Now, we study the following hyperbolic equation P utt =

(2.6.41)

where P is any positive operator, the nonlinear term F (t, u) satisfies conditions (2.6.29), (2.6.30). Now, we prove (2.6.30) can be relaxed to Gt (t, u) ⩾ 0.

(2.6.42)

To make 4α 4α the solution v(t) of (2.6.43) to satisfy conditions in Theorem 2.6.4, v(0) and vt (0) are needed to satisfy (2.6.31) and (2.6.32). Since v(0) = u(0) and vt (0) = ut (0) − λu(0), so it needs that u(0) and ut (0) satisfy 1

(2.6.48)

When m = 2k + 1 and k ⩾ 1, C2 < 0; when m = 2k and k ⩾ 1, C2 ⩾ 0 (if m is an integer, then um can be replaced by |u|m−1 u, m > 1, C2 is negative). Study the initial-boundary value problem ut |t=0 = u1 (x),

∂2 satisfies (2.6.50), which is a positive definite ∂x2 operator. Apply P to be its inverse operator, that is P (vxx ) = u, P (vxxxx ) = −uxx . Where v satisfies (2.6.50), u satisfies (2.6.51), the problem (2.6.48), (2.6.50), (2.6.51) can be written into the following form

We have known that the operator −

(2.6.52)

here Theorem 2.6.6 can be directly used to equation (2.6.52). Where A = −C1

∂2 + I, ∂x2

B = 0,

a = 0,

F (t, u) = −C2 um .

∂2 is a positive one, nonnegative definite, so, operator P is non∂x2 negative. If C1 < 0, C2 = 0, then the problem (2.6.48)∼(2.6.51) don’t have smooth solution.

e = e2ux uxx . x 2

(2.6.62)

Let ux = p, ut = q, then (2.6.62) can be written into qt = e2p · px ,

p t = qx .

Introduce new transformations of variables α = α(x, t), β = β(x, t), such that αt = ep αx ,

βt = −ep βx .

then (2.6.62) can be written into the following equations ep pα = qα ,

ep pβ = −qβ .

So, function w = ep and q satisfy the linear equations wα = qα ,

wβ = −qβ .

Then one get wave equations wαβ = 0,

qαβ = 0.

(2.6.63)

It’s easy to see that, for finite α, β and some initial value problems of (2.6.62), w(α, β) may be negative, so, w = ep satisfies p → −∞ at some points on the plane (x, t), that means it will blow up. We refer to [63, 86, 171] for “blow up” problem of nonlinear wave equations and [105] for that of symmetric regularized wave equations.

Proof Let ϕ : R → R be a strictly increasing bounded smooth function, and ϕ′ (x) ∈ C0∞ (R). {u0j } represents a sequence of functions in H ∞ (R), such that n u0j → u0 , in H 2 (R). Let uj be the smooth solution to (2.7.1) with initial data u0j . From [2], We know that ∥uj (·, t)∥ n2 is uniformly bounded with respect to t, and the bound only depends on ∥u0j ∥ n2 . Therefore, ∥uj (·, t)∥ n2 is uniformly bounded n+1

with respect to j and t. The uniform boundedness of uj in L2 (0, T ; Hloc2 (R)) with respect to j will be obtained later. We have omitted the subscript j in the following proof.

π is bounded, as |ξ| → ∞, therefore, 2π|ξ| − Ps (ξ) is bounded. |ξ| Ks is a zero order quasi differential operator, which is a bounded operator in H s (R).

Chapter 3 Some Results for the Studies of Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations In recent years, a systematic and deep research has been done to some nonlinear evolution equations, such as: nonlinear wave equation, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, KdV equation etc., which includes existence, uniqueness, regularity, scattering of the global solution, and blow up problem of the solution. A series of good results have been obtained. Limited to space, in this chapter, we focus on some interesting and classical results. The contents of this chapter may be referred to [106], [224] as well as their references.

3.1

Nonlinear wave equations and nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Consider the following nonlinear wave equation utt − ∆u + f (u) = 0,

(3.1.1)

and nonlinear Schrödinger equations iut − ∆u + f (u) = 0.

(3.1.2)

Here, for NLW equation (3.1.1), let f (s) : R → R be a real-valued function, f (0) = 0, F ′ (s) = f (s), F (0) = 0. For NLS equation (3.1.2), let f (s) : C → C be a complexvalued function, f (0) = 0, f (u) = g(|u|2 )u, where g(s) is a real-valued function, F (u) = G(|u|2 )/2, G′ (s) = g(s), s ∈ R, G(0) = 0. It’s easy to get that the energy E(u(t)) of NLW equation (3.1.1) satisfies  Z  1 2 1 2 E(u(t)) = u + |∇u| + F (u) dx, (3.1.3) 2 t 2 and that of NLS equation (3.1.2) satisfies  Z  1 E(u(t)) = |∇u|2 + F (u) dx. 2

Some Results for the Studies of Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations

Let us define two Hilbert spaces. Firstly, the energy spaces are X = H 1 × L2 ,

for NLW (3.1.1),

1

for NLS (3.1.2).

X=H , Secondly, we define X2 = H 2 × H 1 , 2

for NLW (3.1.1), for NLS (3.1.2).

X2 = H ,

We use the following notations: |u|p represents the norm of Lp (Rn ) (1 ⩽ p ⩽ ∞), the norm of the Sobolev space W k,p (Rn ) is X Z |u|pk,p = |∂ α u(x)|p dx, |α|⩽k

and H k (Rn ) = W k,2 (Rn ). Z ∥u∥rr,p

means the norm of the space Lr (Lp ) = Lr (R; Lp (Rn )). If X is a Banach space, then C(X) is the set of functions which is strongly continuous with respect to t valued in X. We have Theorem 3.1.1 (weak solution) equation (3.1.2), if

Considering NLW equation (3.1.1) and NLS

F (u) ⩾ −C|u|2

(3.1.5)

for some constant C, and |F (u)/f (u)| → ∞,

|u| → ∞,

(3.1.6)

then for any initial energy E(u(0)) < ∞, u(0) ∈ L2 , there exists a weakly continuous solution u : R → X (NLW or NLS), such that E(u(t)) ⩽ E(u(0)),

∀t ∈ R.

(3.1.7)

The uniqueness of the weak solution remains to be solved. (3.1.5) is not a good condition, while condition (3.1.6) requires the growth of F (u) with respect to u is slower than the index, as |u| → ∞. For NLS equation, we have |u(t)|2 ⩽ |u(0)|2 . When condition (3.1.6) is slightly strengthened, we can get that the equality holds.

3.1

Nonlinear wave equations and nonlinear Schrödinger equation

107

Theorem 3.1.1 can also make other assumptions. For example, for NLS equation, we replace condition (3.1.5) with the following weaker condition F (u) ⩾ −C|u|2 − C|u|q+1 ,

q 0,

where 1 2, ∥∇N u∥r,p+1 ⩽ CT ∥u∥p−1 ∞,p+1 ∥∇u∥r,p+1 . By H 1 ⊂ Lp+1 , one has ∥N u∥F ⩽ CT ∥u∥p−1 E ∥u∥F .

∥N u∥∞,2 ⩽ CT ∥f (u)∥r′ ,(p+1)′ ⩽ CT 0

in which r′ can be changed into a larger one r. Similarly, the differential operator satisfies ∥∇N u∥∞,2 ⩽ CT ∥u∥p−1 ∞,p+1 ∥∇u∥r,p+1 , so, ∥N u∥E ⩽ CT ∥u∥p−1 E ∥u∥F . Let G = C(L2 ) ∩ Lr (Lp+1 ), then N u − N v satisfies the following estimate p−1

∥N u − N v∥G ⩽ CT (∥u∥E∩F + ∥v∥E∩F )

∥u − v∥G ,

(3.1.18)

here, G → 0, as T → 0. By the interpolation between ∥u∥2+ n4 ,2+ n4 ⩽ C∥φ∥2

and ∥u∥2 = ∥φ∥2 ,

we obtain ∥u∥r,p+1 ⩽ C|φ|2 , where

By (3.1.19), we can get ∥u0 ∥E∩F ⩽ C|φ|1,2 . Let R = 2C|φ|1,2 , then for T being small enough, the map u → u0 + N u is compressible on the complete metric space {u ∈ G : ∥u∥E∩F ⩽ R}, therefore this map has a unique fixed point, and time T depends on the H 1 norm of φ. Since the H 1 norm of u(t) is bounded, we can repeat the above process, with the initial time T, 2T, · · · , till to (0, ∞). The proof of theorem 3.1.1 Let NLS equation satisfy conditions (3.1.6) and (3.1.8). For u being large enough, we take the method of cutting off the nonlinear term f (u). Assume that for u being bounded, fj (u) → f (u) uniformly, and fj (u) satisfies (3.1.10) and (3.1.11), and the conditions (3.1.6) and (3.1.8) hold uniformly with respect to fj . For fixed j, applying Theorem 3.1.2, there exists solution uj ∈ C(X) of the equation i∂t uj − ∆uj + fj (uj ) = 0,

Chapter 3

satisfying Z

which is independent of t and j. Z

(3.1.21)

Z |uj |2 dx =

|u0 |2 dx.

As before, by the assumption (3.1.19), one deduces that the sequence uj is uniformly bounded in H 1 with respect to t and j. So, by weak compactness, there exists a subsequence (still denote uj ) such that uj → u,

weakly ∗ in L∞ (H 1 ),

which proves the weak convergence of the linear part of (3.1.20). The difficulty is to prove the nonlinear term fj (uj ) converges to f (u) in some sense. We’ll prove that it converges for almost everywhere. Because H 1 (B) compactly embeds into L2 (B), where B ⊂ Rn is any bounded set, we also need the compactness with respect to R time. We deduce by (3.1.6) and the boundedness of Fj (uj )dx that fj (uj ) are bounded in L∞ (L1 + L2 ). One can deduce that i∂t uj = ∆uj − f (uj ) is bounded in L∞ (H −1 +L1 ). By Aubin compactness theorem and diagonal selection method, there exists a subsequence uj → u,

a.e.,

therefore fj (uj ) → f (u),

In order to get the solution of partial differential equation, it needs that the convergence holds at least in the sense of distribution. That can be gotten by almost R everywhere convergence, applying Egorov lemma, the boundedness of Fj (uj )dx and the assumption (3.1.6). According to fj (uj ) → f (u), strongly in L1 (B), where B ⊂ Rn+1 is a bounded set, one gets that lim uj = u satisfying NLS equation. By j→∞

applying weak limit and Fatou lemma, the equality (3.1.21) leads to the inequality E(u(t)) ⩽ E(u0 ), and by the continuity of u, we know that it satisfies the initial data. Now let’s give a simple proof for NLW equation. Firstly, consider the proof of Theorem 3.1.1 with the assumption (3.1.9). At this moment, F (u) ⩾ 0, then one can deduce the boundedness of |∇u|2 and |∂t u|2 by the energy conservation (3.1.3). So,

|u|2 is also bounded in finite time. Just like the proof of NLS equation, let’s use fj to approach f , which leads to fj (uj ) → f (u) for almost everywhere. If remove the assumption (3.1.6), it’ll need new methods. For uj , applying the following equality  Z  Z  2  d2 1 2 u dx = ujt − |∇u|2 − uj f (uj ) dx, j 2 dt 2 ZZ one can get the boundedness of

uj f (uj )dxdt in finite time, and with Egorov

lemma, we can deduce that fj (u) → f (u) in L1loc , and other proofs are as before. The proof of Theorems 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 of NLW equation are more difficult than that of NLS equation. The difficulty comes from the Lp+1 − Lq estimate of the 4 ; while this restrict is linear wave operator, where q = (1 − p−1 )−1 , p ⩽ 1 + n−1 not needed for NLS equation. Now, applying the assumption (3.1.11) to prove the uniqueness of the solution to NLW equation. In fact, let u and v be two solutions of NLW equation, then it deduces that Z t p−1 |u(t) − v(t)|q ⩽ C (t − τ )−1+2/(n+1) (|u(τ )|γ,q + |v(τ )|γ,q ) |u(τ ) − v(τ )|q dτ, 0

(3.1.22) n 4 ,γ= . Applying Hölder’s inequality, and taking the Lα n−1 2(n + 1) norm of the first term of the integral on the right-hand side of (3.1.22), the Lβ norm of the second term, the L∞ norm of the third term, where α−1 + β−1 = 1, β =  (n − 2 −1 β(p−1) γ,q 2)[2(n + 2)(p − 1)] , we can prove that u, v ∈ L (W ), α 1 − < 1, n+1 therefore,   |u(t) − v(t)|q ⩽ CT sup |u(τ ) − v(τ )|q . where q = 2+

τ

When T → 0, CT → 0, the proof of the uniqueness of the solution is finished. The uniqueness may also hold for the case that the nonlinear term f (u) is a function of arbitrary growth. For NLW equation, assume f (0) = 0, f is non-decreasing, and f (u) is bounded with respect to u < 0, n = 3. For example, f (u) = eu −1. Then there exists a unique smooth solution for suitable initial data. In fact, f (u) ⩾ −A, ∀u ∈ R, let u, v, w respectively satisfy equations
∂t2 − ∆ u + f (u) = 0,


∂t2 − ∆ v = A,


∂t2 − ∆ w + f (v) = 0,

For 1 ⩽ n ⩽ 6, the global smooth solution of (3.1.37) and (3.1.38) has been obtained; by applying the estimates of the derivatives with respect to time t in Besov space, we can extend the result of theorem 3.1.7 to the case 9 ⩽ n ⩽ 11. For high-dimensional NLW equation, by similar method, similar results can be obtained. Now, we consider the blow up problem of solutions to NLS equation and NLW equation. Starting from NLS equation (3.1.2) with initial data u(x, 0) = φ(x). We have the following theorem: Theorem 3.1.9 Let uf (u) ⩽

R 1 where e = |∇u|2 + F (u), E(u) = edx = E(φ). Then applying the equality of 2 expansion transformation, Z Z d [x · Im (u · ∇¯ u)] dx = −4E − k(u)dx, (3.1.41) dt by (3.1.40), (3.1.41), one has   Z  Z Z tZ d2 d 2 2 2 −4t k(u)dx . r |u| dx − 8t E − 4t k(u)dxdt = dt2 dt 0 The above equality can be rewritten into Z Z d2 2 2 r |u| dx = 16E + 4 k(u)dx. dt2

(3.1.42)

The condition (3.1.39) means k(u) ⩽ 0, so, Z r2 |u|2 dx ⩽ 16Et2 + C1 t + C0 , for large enough t which is negative (E < 0), which is impossible, therefore, Theorem 3.1.9 is proved. Let’s compare condition (3.1.39) and condition (3.1.8) of the existence theorem. 4 4 For f (u) = −|u|p−1 u, p < 1 + is needed for condition (3.1.8), while p ⩾ 1 + is n n needed for condition (3.1.39). For NLW equation, there exists the following theorem. Theorem 3.1.10 Let uf (u) ⩽ (2 + ε)F (u),

∀u ∈ R,

(3.1.43)

for some ε > 0, if the initial data satisfies E(φ) < 0, then there is not any global solution to NLW equation (3.1.1). In detail, if u ∈ C([0, T ]; X), F (u), uf (u) ∈ L1 ((0, T ) × Rn ), E < 0 and (3.1.43) holds, then T < ∞. For example, f (u) = m2 u − |u|p−1 u, m > 0, then for any p > 1, (3.1.43) holds;
R 2 if |u|p+1 dx is controlled by ut + |∇u|2 + m2 u2 dx, then E is negative. In Theorem 3.1.10, the assumption E < 0 can be changed into the following weaker condition: s Z Z if E > 0, assume uut dx|t=0 > 2E u2 dx|t=0 . (3.1.44) R

J(0) = 0,

J ′ (0) < 0,

which leads to J(t) < J(0) + tJ ′ (0). Then there exists T > 0, such that J(T ) = 0. So, when t → T ,

Z u2 dx → ∞, the

proof of Theorem 3.1.10 is finished. Generally speaking, NLW equation with small initial data (small L∞ norm), not satisfies E < 0, since the nonlinear term can be controlled by the linear term. For example, f ′ (0) ̸= 0. So, this kind of solution will not blow up. But if f ′ (0) = 0, then the solution with small initial data may still blow up. We have the following theorem. Theorem 3.1.11 Consider the following equation utt − ∆u − |u|p = 0.

u0 is the solution of the free wave equation, satisfying Z u0 dx = C1 + C2 t. Let C1 > 0, C2 > 0, u0 (x, t) be supported in {t − k ⩽ |x| ⩽ t + k} = A, so, by Hölder’s inequality, one has Z 1/p Z Z C0 + C1 t = u0 dx ⩽ udx ⩽ C(1 + t)2(p−1)/p |u|p dx . A

Equations (3.3.32) are Z t = g1 (z) × ∆Z + f (x, t, Z),

(3.3.34)

where × is exterior product of two 3-dimensional vectors for N = 3. If g(Z) ≡ Z, we get Landau-Lifshitz equations. Generally, coefficient matrix A (Z) of second derivative term in equation (3.3.33) is the anti-symmetric and null-defined. If n ⩾ 3, det |A (Z)| = 0, so equations (3.3.32) or (3.3.33) are strongly coupling, strongly degeneracy, and quasi-linearity. If n = 1, for the cauchy problem of equations (3.3.32) and various types of initial boundary value problems mentioned earlier, we can prove the existence of its the global weak solution Z(x, t) ∈ L∞ (0, T ; H 1 ).

Landau-Lifshitz equations and harmonic map in Riemannian manifold. Suppose that (M, γ) and (N, g) are two compact Riemannian manifolds, dim M = n.

(ii) In the classical sense, Z : M → S 2 is the harmonic map, if and only if Z satisfies Landau-Lifshitz equations (3.3.38) and Z t (x, t) = 0, t ⩾ 0.

Chapter 4 Similarity Solution and the Painlevé Property for Some Nonlinear Evolution Equations It is well known that when all active singular point of an ordinary differential equation are single-valued, i.e., there are simple singular points, then this kind of ordinary differential equations are called as having the Painlevé property. Experience shows when ordinary differential equations has the Painlevé property, then they are integrable. In 1981, the famous experts in soliton, Ablowitz et al. [4] showed that if a partial differential equation can be solved by scattering inversion method, then corresponding to this partial differential equation, the ordinary differential equation obtained by using a similar method has the Painlevé property. They still conjecture that if the obtained ordinary differential equation by using similarity method such as infinitesimal transformation, or transformations of the appropriate independent variable and dependent variable, has a Painlevé property, then the partial differential equation is integrable. Hence, the relationship between integrability of given systems and the Painlevé property, as well as the infinitesimal transformation different from the dimensional method to solve the similarity solution, has become one of the important topics in partial differential equations. Similar to ordinary differential equation, if the solution of a given partial differential equation is single-valued about the activity singular manifold, then this partial differential equation has a Painlevé property, by which we can investigate Bäcklund transformation, soliton solution and integrability of this equation. In this chapter, the classical and non-classical infinitesimal transformations, Lie algebra structure of infinitesimal operator will be studied by some concrete examples of partial differential equations, and the similarity equations and similarity solutions are obtained, see [13, 19, 33, 128] and references therein. On the other hand, taking KdV equation, nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Boussinesq equation as examples, we prove that these equations have Painlevé properties, and further obtain their Bäcklund transformation, one can see [239, 240].

where u(x, t) is dependent variable, and x, t are independent variables. The above problem for determining solutions (4.1.1), (4.1.2), and (4.1.3) is denoted for the system S. Consider the following one parameter (ε) Lie transformation group   u∗ = u∗ (x, t, u; ε),   (4.1.4) x∗ = x∗ (x, t, u; ε),   t∗ = t∗ (x, t, u; ε). If u = θ(x, t) is a solution of the system S, we use v instead of u, x∗ = x∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε) instead of x, and t = t∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε) instead of t in the system S. This resulting system is denoted as S ∗ . Suppose that v = θ(x∗ , t∗ ) is a solution of the system S ∗ . Definition 4.1.1 If u = θ(x, t) is a solution of the system S, then V = u∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε) is also a solution of the system S ∗ . The system S is invariant in transformation (4.1.4). So we obtain θ(x, t) that is satisfied the functional equation with one parameter ε, θ(x∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε), t∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε)) = u∗ (x, t, θ(x, t); ε).

(4.1.5)

(4.1.4) expand respect to variables ε = 0, and obtain the following infinitesimal term (η, ζ, τ )(o(ε)),   u∗ = u + εη(x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   (4.1.6) x∗ = x + εζ(x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   t∗ = t + ετ (x, t, u) + o(ε2 ). Using (4.1.6), functional differential equation is expanded respect to variables ε = 0, θ(x + εζ(x, t, θ) + o(ε2 ), t + ετ (x, t, θ) + o(ε2 )) = θ(x, t) + εη(x, t, θ) + o(ε3 ). (4.1.7)

o(ε) term of functional differential equation (4.1.7) results as follows one order partial differential equations ((η, ζ, τ )) of θ(x, t), ζ(x, t, θ)θx + τ (x, t, θ)θt = η(x, t, θ).

(4.1.8)

Equation (4.1.8) is the invariant curved surface condition. General solution of equation (4.1.8) is obtained the following characteristic equation dx dt dθ = = . ξ(x, t, θ) τ (x, t, θ) η(x, t, θ)

(4.1.9)

In principle, general solution of equation (4.1.9) is obtained, and have two parameters, where one of them is an independent variable ζ(x, t, θ), which is called similarity variations, and another is dependent variable f (ζ). We get the similar form θ = F (x, t, f (ζ)),

(4.1.10)

substitute (4.1.10) into (4.1.1), and get f (ζ) which is satisfied the differential equations. Specifically, from the integral of the first equation (4.1.9), we get ζ(x, t) = const (⇒ x = g(ζ, t)).

(4.1.11)

It defines similar curved line in plane (x, t). From the second equation of (4.1.9), dt dθ = , τ (g(ζ, t), t, θ) τ (g(ζ, t), t, θ)

(4.1.12)

G(t, ζ(x, t), θ) = const = f (ζ).

(4.1.13)

we get the solution

That is, (4.1.10) holds θ = F (x, t, f (ζ(x, t))). In search of infinitesimal transformations, we must calculate some derivative transformations, such that u = θ(x, t) is some solution of the system S, and v = u∗ (x, t; θ(x, t); ε) is a corresponding solution of the system S ∗ , for example

Therefore, equation (4.1.1) is invariant in infinitesimal transformations (4.1.4), the necessary and sufficient conditions are that infinitesimal term (o(ε)) ≡ 0 in equation (4.1.23). We treat the equation (4.1.23) as an equation of eight variables with its own infinitesimal items. So equation (4.1.1) is invariant in the transformations (4.1.4). Given solution u = θ(x, t) of equation (4.1.1) satisfies the following equation ηxx

∂H ∂H ∂H ∂H ∂H ∂H ∂H ∂H +ζ +τ = 0. (4.1.24) + ηxt + ηtt + ηx + ηt +η ∂uxx ∂uxt ∂utt ∂ux ∂ut ∂u ∂x ∂t

In search of infinitesimal transformations (4.1.4), we can get it from equation (4.1.24). At this point, the equation contains derivatives of various θ, and its coefficient depends on (θ, x, t) and unknown (η, ζ, τ ). Merger of similar items, coefficient of various derivatives of θ is 0. That is, we get the determining equation of infinitesimal transformations. Therefore, we get (η, ζ, τ ). Example 4.1.1 Consider the similar solution of heat conduction equation uxx − ut = 0. Using Lie group transformation of infinitesimal (η, ζ, τ ),   u∗ = u∗ (x, t, u; ε) = u + εη(x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   x∗ = x∗ (x, t, u; ε) = x + εζ(x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   t∗ = t∗ (x, t, u; ε) = t + ετ (x, t, u) + o(ε2 ).

(4.1.26)

Equation (4.1.25) is invariant in the transformation of (4.1.26). From (4.1.19) and (4.1.20), u = θ(x, t) satisfies u∗xx∗ − u∗t∗ = θxx − θt + ε(ηxx − ηt ) + o(ε2 ), where

Suppose that the same derivative terms’ coefficient of θ is 0 in (4.1.28), that is, let the coefficients of θx , θtx , θt , θx θtx , θi θx , θt2 be 0. Items that do not contain a derivative θ are preserved in (4.1.28), then we get solutions ζ, η, τ that are satisfied partial differential equations.

Obviously, vector set with vector multiplication cross ⊗ in three-dimensional Euclidean space R3 is a typical example of Lie algebra. We know that infinitesimal operators with Lie group transformation form a vector space in the real number field or complex number field. In order to make this vector space into a Lie algebra µ, we need to introduce an switching operator [·, ·]. If X , D ∈ µ, then X ⊗ D = [X , D] = X D − DX , where [X , D] is commutant of infinitesimal operators X and D. It is easy to verify that the above combination law (i) ∼ (iii) is satisfied. Commutant table can be set up for every Lie algebra. For infinitesimal operators (4.2.8), we have the following commutant Table 4.1.

Nonclassical infinitesimal transformations

For given partial differential equations Lu = 0, using Lu = 0 and the invariant surface conditions X(x, t, u)

∂u ∂u + T (x, t, u) = U (x, t, u), ∂x ∂t

where infinitesimal transformation with one parameter is   x′ = x + εX(x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   t′ = t + εT (x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),   u′ = u + εU (x, t, u) + o(ε2 ),

(4.3.1)

(4.3.2)

we obtain non-classical infinitesimal transformation. That is, infinitesimal transformation can not be got by classical infinitesimal transformation in § 4.1. Therefore, we get the new solution. Now Burgers equation Lu = ut + uux − uxx = 0

(4.3.3)

as an example to illustrate the above case. Note that in fact there are only two independence infinitesimals in (4.3.1), so we can suppose that T (x, t, u) = 1. Thus,

4.3

Nonclassical infinitesimal transformations

the invariant surface condition (4.3.1) is ut = U − Xux .

(4.3.4)

From (4.3.4), we have utx = Ux + Uu ux − Xuxx − Xx ux − Xu u2x . Since u satisfies equation (4.3.3), we get uxx = ut + uux , and using (4.3.4), we get utx = (Ux − XU ) + (Uu + X 2 − Xx − Xu)ux − Xu (ux )2 .

(4.3.5)

From (4.3.4) and (4.3.3), imply that u′ u′x′ − uux = ε {(uUx ) + (U + uUu − uXx )ux + (−Xu u)(ux )2 } + o(ε2 ), u′t′ − ut = ε {(Ut + U Ux ) + (−XUu − Xt − Xu U )ux +(Xu X)u2x + o(ε2 ), −(u′x′ x′ − uxx ) = ε {(−Uxx − U Uu + 2U Xx ) + (Xxx − 2Uxu − (u − X)(Uu − 2Xx ) + 3Xu U )ux +(2Xxu − Uuu + 3Xν (u − X))u2x + Xuu (ux )3 + o(ε2 ). Using the invariant conditions, we get the coefficients of ux , u2x , u3x and items that do not contain ux are 0. The coefficients of u3x is Xuu = 0, imply that X = C2 (x, t)u + C1 (x, t).

(4.3.6)

The coefficients of u2x is Uuu = 2Xxu + 2uXu − 2XXu . From (1.3.6), we have Uuu = 2((C2 )x + C2 (1 − C2 )u − C2 C1 ), so

1 U = B(x, t)u + D(x, t) + u2 ((C2 )x − C2 C1 ) + u3 C2 (1 − C2 ). 3

(4.3.7)

The coefficients of ux and (ux )0 are 0 respectively, imply that U − Xt − (2Uxu − Xxx ) + uXx − 2XXx = 0,

Ut + uUx − Uxx + 2U Xx = 0.

(4.3.9)

Therefore, for the determination of the solution of Burgers equation, we translate into researching the equations (4.3.6) ∼ (4.3.8). Generally speaking, it is difficult to find general solutions to these equations, so we only consider some special solutions. From the first equation of characteristic equation dt du dx = = , X 1 U

(4.3.10)

we have similar variable η(x, t) = const, imply that X = x(t, η); using the second equation of (4.3.10), integral, we get the similar layout. Simply, let C2 = 0 and from (4.3.6), (4.3.7), then we have X = C1 (t) = A(x, t),

U = B(x, t)u + D(x, t).

(4.3.11)

Substituting (4.3.11) into (4.3.8) and (4.3.9), imply that Bu + D − At − 2Bx + Axx + uAx − 2AAx = 0, Bt u + Dt + u(Bx u + Dx ) − (Bxx u + Dxx ) + 2(Bu + D)Ax = 0.

(4.3.12) (4.3.13)

Because A, B and D have nothing to do with u, let the coefficients of u and u2 in above equation are 0 and from (4.3.12), then we have B = −Ax .

(4.3.14)

Bt + Dx − Bxx + 2BAx = 0,

(4.3.15)

Bx = 0.

(4.3.16)

From (4.3.13), we get

We derive B = B(t) from equation (4.3.16). From (4.3.14), we have A = −B(t)x + E(t).

(4.3.17)

Equation (4.3.15) is converted to Bt + Dx − 2B 2 = 0, and imply that Dx = F (t) = 2(B(t))2 − B ′ (t). And then we get D = F (t)x + G(t). As the corollary of (4.3.16) ∼ (4.3.16), equations (4.3.12) and (4.3.13) are D − At − 2AAx = 0, We will get B, E, F and G.

U (x, t, u) = δλ2 t.

A direct method for solving similarity solutions

For the given partial differential equations, we now introduce a method to seek the solution of the following form u(x, t) = U (x, t, w(z(x, t))).

(4.4.1)

Substituting (4.4.1) into the given partial differential equations, and given some conditions for v and its derivative, we come to determine w(z) which is satisfied the solution of differential equations. The following example to Boussinesq equations, let’s briefly introduce this method. For Boussinesq equation (4.1.83) 1 utt + (u2 )xx + uxxxx = 0, 2 (4.4.1) may take the following special form u(x, t) = α(x, t) + β(x, t)w(z(x, t)),

(4.4.2)

where α(x, t), β(x, t) and z(x, t) are undetermined. Substituting (4.4.2) into (4.1.83), we have 2 βzx4 w′′′′ + (6βzx2 zxx + 4βx zx3 )w′′′ + β(3zxx + 4zx zxxx )

4 Remark 4.4.1 The coefficient βzw of w(4) is normalized coefficient, and this requires that the other coefficients have the form βzx4 Γ(z), where Γ is undetermined function of z.

Remark 4.4.2 For simplicity, Γ(z) through the differential, integral and other operations, still denoted as Γ(z). Remark 4.4.3 Without loss of generality, we have three degrees of freedom available for α, β, z and w. (i) If α(x, t) has the form α = α0 (x, t) + β(x, t)Ω(z), then we get Ω ≡ 0. In fact, with w(z) − Ω(z) instead of w(z) can be obtained. (ii) If β(x, t) has the form β = β0 (x, t)Ω(z), then we get Ω ≡ 1. In fact, it can w(z) . be obtained for the replacement w(z) → Ω(z) (iii) If α(x, t)Ω is determined by equation Ω(z) = z0 (x, t), where Ω(z) is invertible function, i.e., we choose Ω(z) = z. In fact, it can be obtained for the replacement z → Ω−1 (z). Now similar solution of Boussinesq equation is determined using the direct method. From the coefficients of ww′′ and (w′ )2 , we have βzx4 Γ(z) = β 2 zx2 , where Γ(z) is undetermined function. Using (ii) of (4.4.3) and choose Γ(z) = 1, we have β = zx2 . From the coefficient of w′′′ , we have βzx4 Γ(z) = 4βx zx3 + 6βzx2 zxx , where Γ(z) is another undetermined function. From (4.4.4), we get zx Γ(z) +

zxx = 0. zx

Integrating the above formula, we can get Γ(z) + lnzx = θ(t), where θ(t) is integral function. Taking exponent, we get zx Γ(z) = θ(t). Integrating it, imply that Γ(z) = xθ(t) + Σ(t),

where Σ(t) is another integral function. Using (iii) of (4.4.3) and choose Γ(z) = z, we have z = xθ(t) + σ(t), (4.4.5) where θ(t) and σ(t) are undetermined. From (4.4.4) and (4.4.5), we get β = θ2 (t).

From the coefficients of w′′ , we have 2 βzx4 Γ(z) = β(3zxx + 4zx zxxx ) + 12βx zx zxx + 6βxx zx2 + β(αzx2 + zt2 ),

Equation (4.4.16) generally is equivalent to the fourth type Painlevé equation; but when A = 0, it is equivalent to the second type Painlevé equation; but when B = 0, it is equivalent to the first type Painlevé equation with Weierstrass ellipse equation. Next, there are three cases of discussing similar solution separately. (i) A = 0, B = 0. Generally solution of equations (4.4.12) and (4.4.13) are θ(t) = a1 t + a0 ,

The Painlevé properties for some PDE

As we know, the solution of an ordinary differential equation (or system of differential equations) can be considered as an analytic function with complex variable of the time t. If the singularity of solutions depends on the initial conditions, then this kind of singular points are called being movable; while if the singularity comes from the coefficients of the equation, then they are called fixed singularity points. If all the movable singularity points of an ordinary differential equation (or system of differential equations) are single-valued, i.e., they are simple singular points, then the differential equation (or system of differential equations) has Painlevé property. What is the relation between the Painlevé property of system of ordinary differential

equations and partial differential equation? After researches show that, if a partial differential equation can be solved by inverse scattering method, then the system of ordinary differential equations related to Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equation has Painlevé property which is obtained by using similarity transformation. Ablowitz et al. [4] conjecture that, for a given partial differential equation, if all the systems of ordinary differential equations obtained by similarity transformation have Painlevé property, then this partial differential equation is integrable. Therefore, it is necessary to define the Painlevé property of PDE corresponding to that of ordinary differential equations, and establish the relation between Painlevé properties and integrability (Lax pairs, Bäcklund transformation). The research works of the Painlevé properties, Lax pairs, and Bäcklund transformation have been the subject of much attention during the last 50 years; see the seminal papers by Uğurhan Muğan et al. [237], A. Ramani et al. [206], DengShan Wang [238], Matthew Russo et al. [212], Nikolay A.Kudryashovet al. [6], and the references cited therein. Definition 4.5.1 If the solutions of a partial differential equation are singlevalued with respect to movable singularity manifold, then we call it owning Painlevé property. To be more specific, suppose that there is an odd manifold ϕ(z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ) = 0,

(4.5.1)

where ϕ = ϕ(z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ). If u = u(z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ) is a solution of partial differential equation, then when u has the layout u(z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ) = ϕα

(4.5.2)

j=0

and uj = uj (z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ) is an analytic function about (z1 , z2 , · · · , zn ) near the manifold (4.5.1), α is negative integer. Then the partial differential equation is said to have the Painlevé property. Next with some specific examples, we illustrate that how to decide the solution layout (4.5.2) for the given partial differential equation. Example 4.5.1 Burgers equation ut + uux = σuxx .

Suppose that there is an expansion formula u = ϕα

175

where ϕ = ϕ(x, t) and uj = uj (x, t) are analytic functions about (x, t) near the manifold M = {(x, t) : ϕ(x, t) = 0}. Substituting (4.5.4) into (4.5.3), and comparing the lowest item, we have α = −1. (4.5.5) Simultaneously, we get the following recurrence formula of uj : uj−2,t + (j − 2)uj−1 ϕt +

(4.5.6)

Tidying up the term that contains uj , we have ϕ2x (j − 2)(j + 1)uj = F (uj−1 , · · · , u0 , ϕt , ϕx , ϕxx , · · · ), j = 0, 1, 2, · · · .

(4.5.7)

From (4.5.7), uj is undetermined for J = −1, 2. These values of J are called resonance of recurrence relations. uj is arbitrary on these points. j = −1 corresponds to arbitrary (not defined) odd manifold (ϕ = 0). If j = 2, introduce arbitrary function u2 and consistency condition, this condition for function (ϕ, u0 , u1 ) requires that the right-hand side of (4.5.6) is identically equal to 0. For Burgers equation (4.5.4) and using (4.5.6), we have u0 = −2σϕx ,

(4.5.8)

ϕt + u1 ϕx = σϕxx ,

(4.5.9)

∂x (ϕt + u1 ϕx − σϕxx ) = 0.

(4.5.10)

j = 0, j = 1, j = 2,

Using (4.5.9), and consistency condition (4.5.10) is identically equal to satisfy in j = 2, so Burgers equation has the Painlevé property. Further, if introduce arbitrary function u2 = 0, (4.5.11) and requiring u1 t + u1 u1x = σu1xx ,

(4.5.12)

then we get uj = 0,

j ⩾ 2.

Chapter 5 Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems As we know, there has been at least fifty years for the research of finite dimensional dynamical systems. There has been a lot of important results. However, the research of dynamical systems are far from limited to the cases of finite dimensions. The turbulence in fluid dynamics is just a problem of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. If we take the Fourier expansion of unknown functions in system of Newton-Boussinesq fluid mechanical equations of Bénard convection, under the approximation by retaining three motion modes, we can obtain the well known Lorenz model. Hence, it is just an approximation in describing the Newton-Boussinesq fluid mechanical equations of Bénard convection. In the early 1990s, there have been many nonlinear evolution equations which had solitons in physics, they all belong to integrable systems, such as KdV equation, nonlinear Schödinger equation, Zakharov equations, sine-Gordon equation etc., under the effort of dissipation, they evolute from solitons to chaos, which are non-integrable systems, one can see [3,43,182,210]. All these facts show that the research on infinite dimensional dynamical systems are imperative, which are the in-depth studies and extensions of finite dimensional dynamical systems, see [28, 44, 85, 93, 126, 127, 150] and references therein. There are some important characters of infinite dimensional dynamical systems: firstly, they have chaos in existing spaces, i.e., they might generate chaos and turbulence in some regions, while the chaos and turbulence do not appear in other regions. The cross flow is a typical example which will be discussed later. Contract to the finite dimensional dynamical systems, they consider the chaos in time periods only; secondly, they might generate singular sets in some spatial regions. For example, the rotation rot u of velocity u in the fluid motion in three-dimensional spaces might tends to infinite at some regions of the domain Ω. J. Leray predicted the appearance of turbulence at that time in 1932. Hence the researches of infinite dimensional dynamical systems will lay a new road of the researches of turbulence, and this is the reason why so many physicists and mechanicians major in these fields. From the viewpoint of mathematics, on the basis of former works on finite dimensional dynamical systems by S. Smale, J. Moser, Melnikov, B. Mandelbrot put forward the definition of fractal set in 1977, O. A. Ladyzhenskaya [185, 186], M. I.

Vishik, C. Foias [49–55], B. Nicolacnko [196–198], R. Teman [228–231], J. K. Hale, etc. G. R. Sell [218, 219] research some properties of certain nonlinear evolution equations with dissipative effort, the global attractors, existence of inertial manifolds, their Hausdorff dimensions, estimations of upper and lower bounds of fractal dimensions, the dynamical structures of attractors, approximate inertial manifolds, nonlinear Galerkin methods, inertial sets, etc., are widely studied, and many results are obtained. For example, the global attractors of Y. Kuramoto and G. Sirashinsky equations [182, 183], inertial manifolds [15, 38–42, 47, 50, 52, 55], the existence and estimation of dimension of inertial sets [15, 46], the global attractors and estimation of dimension of equations, such as nonlinear Schrödinger equation with dissipative effect, one-dimensional system of Zakharov equations, nonlinear wave equations with dissipative effect, Boehner flows, Brussel oscillator [183], KdV equation with damping [116]. Meanwhile, some examples are also presented which have no global attractors and inertial manifolds. In mathematics, the important mathematical theories of infinite dimensional dynamical systems have been set up, which offer methods of theoretic researches and numerical computation. Among these theories, it is critical to set up the uniformly a priori estimation of t on large scale of solutions of problem for particular determining solutions from the viewpoint of qualitative research of partial differential equations. The infinite dimensional dynamical systems and chaos are essential the qualitative properties as t → ∞. Hence, research on these problems lays some important topics of nonlinear partial differential equations. With the development of huge computers, it is prospected that the research on chaos and turbulence will come into a flourishing stage under the combination of theoretical research and numerical computation. Of course, the infinite dimensional dynamical systems are far more complicated. The understanding of it is very superficial. For example, there are many important theoretical and practical problems in researches such as the global attractors, topological structure of inertial manifolds, chaos of conservative systems. These problems remains to be further studied in the future. In this chapter, we mainly introduce the basic definitions, approximation methods of infinite dimensional dynamical systems and some important research progress.

Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems

and the asymptotic behaviors of u(t) as t → ∞, where the unknown function u = u(t) is in linear space H, which is called phase space, F (u) projects H onto itself. There are two cases to be considered: 1. the case of finite dimensional, where u = u(t) ∈ H = RN ; 2. the case of infinite dimensional, where u = u(t) ∈ H is a certain Hilbert space. Although both of the two cases have many common properties, they have significant differences. Of course, we can consider the finite dimensional dynamical systems as approximations of some finite state of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. In common circumstances, the function F in (5.1.1) depends certain parameter λ, that is F (u) = Fλ (u). All physical quantities and states vary with λ as t → ∞. We give the following statements in detail. (i) As λ is small, say λ < λ1 , (5.1.1) has a unique stationary solution, which is the unique solution u = uS1 of equation Fλ (u) = 0.

(5.1.3)

This stationary solution is stable, it absorbs all trajectories, that is u(t) → uS1 ,

as t → ∞,

where u(t) is a solution of (5.1.1), (5.1.2) with arbitrary u0 . (ii) For larger λ, say λ1 < λ < λ2 , (5.1.3) have some other solutions, this means that (5.1.1) have stationary solutions uS2 , uS3 , · · · . In this case, uS1 loses its stability, the stationary solutions have bifurcations at λ = λ1 , u(t) is convergent to one of the stationary solutions such as u(t) → uS2 ,

as t → ∞,

in this case, the limit depends on u0 , and each stationary solution has its own absorbing region, and absorbing all solutions of (5.1.1), (5.1.2) around it. (iii) When λ gets larger and larger, say λ2 < λ < λ3 , then Hopf bifurcations appear, in this case, the flows are not stationary, we have u(t) → ϕ(t),

as t → ∞,

where ϕ is a time-periodic solution of (5.1.1) with period T , that is dϕ(t) = F (ϕ(t)) for 0 ⩽ t ⩽ T, dt

(5.1.4)

185

ϕ(t + T ) = ϕ(t) for t ⩾ 0. (5.1.5) Then the subharmonic bifurcations or almost periodic solutions proposed by Feigenbaum might occur (See the paragraph (iv) below). (iv) For more larger λ, say λ3 < λ < λ4 , then invariant tori appear, that is u(t) → ϕ(t),

as t → ∞,

(5.1.6)

where ϕ(t) is almost periodic solution of (5.1.4) of the form ϕ(t) = g(ω1 t, · · · , ωn t),

(5.1.7) 1 are here g is Ti -periodic function with respect to its i−th variables and all ωi = Ti independent rational numbers for i = 1, 2, · · · , n. In this case, the flow looks like chaos, however, the Fourier analysis shows that its character is determined by modes with discrete frequencies ωi , rather than the chaotic status. (v) Finally, λ > λ4 . the chaos appears, u(t) is random with respect to all the times. The Fourier analysis shows that it has a strip of continuous spectrum. Now u(t) → X,

as t → ∞,

(5.1.8)

which is showed in Figure 5.1 i.e., dist(u(t), X) → 0 as t → ∞, where X is the invariant set of phase space H, the semigroup {S(t)}t⩾0 related to (5.1.1), (5.1.2) is invariant, i.e., S(t)X ⊂ X for t ⩾ 0. (5.1.9)

Figure 5.1

The set X may be a fractal set, just as a Cantor set or a multiplication of Cantor sets on certain interval. When t is large, u(t) is on X or wandering aside X. Now we give two practical examples in physics to show the phenomena which caused by infinite dimensional dynamical systems. Example 1.Bénard problems For given a rectangle container, which is filled with fluid, if we keep warming its bottom y = 0, then with the increasing of temperature difference to its top y = β of the container (see Figure 5.2), let’s look at the physical phenomena after convection. This problem can be characterized by the following definite solutions problems of two-dimensional Newton-Boussinesq equations ∂u − (u · ∇)u − ν∆u + ∇p = e2 (T − T1 ), ∂t

where u, p, T is the velocity, pressure and temperature, respectively, ν is the viscosity coefficient, k is the heat conduction coefficient, e2 is the unit vector paralleling to y-axis, T0 > T1 , α, β > 0. The experiment results and numerical simulations show T0 − T1 < λ1 , the fluid remains stationary, the equilibrium solution that, when λ = T0 S u1 is the solution of classical heat conduction problem of which temperature is linear related to y-direction; when λ1 < λ < λ2 , the solutions of heat conduction problem turn to unstable, the fluid starts moving till the form of classical circles corresponding to certain stationary solutions uS2 , see Figure 5.3 below, when λ2 < λ < λ3 , the flow generates periodic solution of time, the corresponding boundaries of circles start periodic oscillating; when λ3 < λ < λ4 , the corresponding boundaries of circles oscillate randomly, spectral analysis shows that period-doubling bifurcations appear; and finally, when λ > λ4 , the circles disappear, the whole fluid is chaotic.

Suppose that there is a fluid with velocity U∞ at infinite passes through a spherical object, we can take λ as the Reynolds number λ = Re =

ν|u∞ | R

with ν the dynamical viscosity, R the radius of the sphere. The ν and R are constants in practical experiment, we can increase λ by increasing the velocity U∞ = |U∞ | at infinite. In the first step of the experiment, the fluid is in a state of laminar flow (smaller Reynolds number, Figure 5.4(i)). In the second step of the experiment, the fluid generates stationary von K´ arman vortex (Figure 5.4(ii)). In the third step of the experiment, when Hopf bifurcations appear, no stationary flows exist, the fluid generates periodic flows of time. In this stage, the K´arman vortex moves to the right and disappear, and take approximal periodic motion at the left-side (Figure 5.4(iii)). In the fourth step of the experiment, the K´ arman vortex disappear when U∞ is very large, and the fluid takes quasi-periodic motion. At the last step of the experiment, for more larger U∞ , the fluid is in a stage of turbulence (Figure 5.4(iv)). The whole fluid is un-stationary for all times, which is known as attractor in mathematics.

Some problems for infinite dimensional dynamical systems

In this section, we introduce some problems for infinite dimensional dynamical systems further. In general, they are nonlinear evolution equations with dissipative effect. As the dissipative terms equal to zero, they are integrable systems or nearintegrable systems, which have soliton solutions. Numerical simulation and theoretical analysis show that all these physical systems turn into chaos. 1. System of Zakharov differential equations with damping and inhomogeneous medium. Consider one-dimensional system of Zakharov equation iεt + εxx − nε = 0,

ntt − nxx = |ε|2xx ,

(5.2.2)

where ε(x, t) is the electric field intensity with complex-valued, n(x, t) is the density perturbation with real-valued. In 1972, Zakharov [243] raised this system of equations firstly, and found its soliton solutions, which can successfully explain the phenomena of density pit occurring near the critical surface of the laser target. It also appears in DNA model of molecular structure. This system of equations can be obtained by linearizing simplified bi-fluid equations. In 1982, G. D. Doolen et al. [43] computed the one-dimensional Zakharov equation with damping term and driving source (by Fourier transformation): X i[∂t + νe (k) − k 2 ]Eh (t) = nk′ Ek−k′ + Sk (t), (5.2.3) k′

where νe , νi denote the damping ratios of electron and ion, respectively, Sk (t) is the driving source. For (5.2.3) and (5.2.4) with periodic boundary conditions, the computation was conducted using 64 − 1024 modules, the driving source was divided into three separated cases. (i) Coherent source ( 1 νe ω02 , for |k| ⩽ kdr ; Sk (t) = 0, for |k| > kdr , where νe , ω0 , kdr are constants. (ii) Coherent beam ( νe (k) = −νdr , for |k| ⩽ kdr ; Sk (t) = νe (k) = νe = const > 0, for |k| > kdr , where νdr is a constant. (iii) Noise source ( Sk (t) =

where ξk (t) is a known function. After a huge calculation, for five modules, νdr = −0.025,

νe = 0.05,

νi = 0.005k,

kdr = 0.2,

numerical results show that the stage turn total chaos from the coexistence of soliton and chaos.

In 1989, by adding a different exogenous source, Robinson [208,209] and Newman computed the two-dimensional Zakharov system of equations with damping and inhomogeneous medium ∇(i∂t + ∇2 + iˆ r)ε = ∇(nε) + Sk (t),

with Eb a definite physical constant. As Kb and rb taking the following different values (i) kb = 0, rb = −1.7 × 10−4 Wp , (ii) kb = 0.066kb x, rb = −1.7 × 10−4 Wp , (iii) kb = 0.225kb x, rb = −1.7 × 10−4 Wp , with some definite physical constants kb and Wp , we can obtain the following numerical results list as Figures 5.7∼5.9.

2. Nonlinear Schordinger equation with damping term i(εt + rˆε) + εxx + (|ε|2 − |ε|20 )ε = 0,

(5.2.7)

where rˆ is a damping operator, F [ˆ rε] = r(k)εk (t), |ε|20 is the average of |ε|2 corresponding to space. Suppose that (5.2.7) has an approximate solution ε(x, t) = ε0 (t) exp[i(k0 x − ω0 t)] + ε1 (t) exp[i(k1 x − ω1 t)] + ε2 (t) exp[i(k2 x − ω2 t)], (5.2.8) where 2k0 = k1 + k2 , ωσ2 = kσ2 for σ = 0, 1, 2. If replacing ε in (5.2.7) by (5.2.8), we can obtain a system of ordinary differential equations of ε0 (t), ε1 (t) and ε2 (t).

Russell and Ott [210] computed them, numerical results show that there exist period doubling bifurcation, singular attractor and tangent bifurcation from chaos to periodic solution. Another example is nonlinear Schrödinger equation [48] with dissipative term iqt + qxx + |q|2 q = iµ(q + qxx ) − ir|q|2 ,

(5.2.9)

as µ, r ≪ 1, we can find its soliton solution   ivt iv(x − vt) 2t + A0 exp iA0 + 2 4 2 , (5.2.10) qS (x, t) = A0 (x − vt) cosh 2 s 6 where A0 = , v is the propagation velocity of soliton. When µ, r ∼ 1, (1 + 4r/µ) numerical result shows that the chaos appears.

(5.2.11) independently for β = 0, ν = 0. Later, these kind of equations are obtained in bifurcation solutions of Navier-Stokes equations [5] and flow of adhesive membrane [220].

The KS-type equation is of the form 1 φt + φ2x + νφ + αφxx + βφxxx + rφxxxx = 0, 2

(5.2.11)

where α > 0, ν > 0, r > 0. Let φx = u. Differentiating (5.2.11) with respect to x, we have ut + uux + νu + αuxx + βuxxx + ruxxxx = 0, (5.2.12) where r is the higher order adhesive damping, ν is the linear damping, α is the dispersion of color, and β is the coefficient of color dispersion. Let u = eikx+σt .

(5.2.13)

Then we have the relationship of dispersion σ = −ν + αk 2 − rk 4 + iβk 3 .

(5.2.14)

Obviously, when Reσ > 0, u increases as t increasing; while for Reσ < 0, u is damped. We can easily obtain that when σ is a constant and ν > ν0 =

Global attractor and its Hausdorff, fractal dimensions

In this section, we will introduce one of the important concepts of global attractor, state the existence theorem of global attractor and give the estimation of Hausdorff and fractal dimensions with it. We refer to [9,10,12,180,228,230] for global attractor and Hausdorff, fractal dimensions. For attractors of Newton-Boussinesq equation, see [108, 143] and so on. Definition 5.3.1 Suppose E is a Banach space, S(t) is a semi-group operator, that is S(t) : E → E, S(t + τ ) = S(t) · S(τ ) for all t, τ ⩾ 0 and S(0) = I (identity operator). If a compact subset A ⊂ E is called a global attractor of semi-group S(t) if it satisfies the following conditions: (i) Invariant property. A is unchangeable under semi-group S(t), that is for all t ⩾ 0, S(t)A = A . (5.3.1)

5.3

Global attractor and its Hausdorff, fractal dimensions

197

(ii) Attractive Property. A absorbs all bounded sets in E, that is for all bounded sets B ⊂ E, dist(S(t)B, A ) = sup inf ∥S(t)x − y∥E → 0, x∈B y∈A

as t → ∞.

(5.3.2)

In particular, all trajectories S(t)u0 originating from u0 converge to A as t → ∞, i.e., dist(S(t)u0 , A ) → 0,

as t → ∞.

(5.3.3)

The structure of global attractor is complicated, it contains the simple equilibrium point u∗ , satisfying F (u∗ ) = 0 of the initial value problem of nonlinear evolution equation du(t) = F (u(t)), (5.3.4) dt u(0) = u0 ,

(5.3.5)

the equilibrium points may be multiple solutions, it also contains time periodic trajectories, trajectories of almost-periodic solutions, fractals and singular attractors, etc. Moreover, it may not be smooth manifold, and the dimension may be non-integer. In order to give the existence theorem of global attractor, we introduce the definition of absorbing set. Definition 5.3.2 Given a bounded set B0 ⊂ E, if there exists a t0 (B0 ) > 0, such that for all bounded set B ⊂ E, S(t)B ⊂ B0 , f or all t ⩾ t0 ,

(5.3.6)

then we call B0 is a absorbing set of E, see Figure 5.18 for details.

Theorem 5.3.3 ([9]) Suppose E is a Banach space, {S(t), t ⩾ 0} is a semigroup operator, that is S(t) : E → E, S(t + τ ) = S(t) · S(τ ) for all t, τ ⩾ 0 and S(0) = I, where I is an identity operator. Moreover, suppose semi-group operator S(t) satisfies the following conditions:

198

Chapter 5

Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems

(i) S(t) is uniformly bounded on E, that is, for all R > 0, there exists a constant C(R), such that ∥u∥E ⩽ R implies ∥S(t)U ∥E ⩽ C(R),

f or all t ∈ [0, ∞).

(5.3.7)

(ii) There exists a bounded absorbing set B0 in E. (iii) S(t) is a completely continuous operator for t > 0. Then the semi-group operator S(t) has a compact global attractor A . Remark 5.3.4 The conclusion of Theorem 5.3.1 still true if we replace the bounded absorbing set B0 in (ii) by a compact absorbing set B0 , and the completely continuity of S(t) is replaced by the continuity of S(t). Remark 5.3.5 We can prove that the global attractor A in Theorem 5.3.3 is the ω-limit set of absorbing set B0 , that is, A = ω(B0 ) =

\ [

S(t)B0 ,

(5.3.8)

s⩾0 t⩾s

where the closure is taken on the whole E. Another existence theorem of global attractor is given below. Theorem 5.3.6 ([230]) Suppose E is a Banach space, semi-group operator {S(t)} is continuous. There exists an open set U ⊂ E and a bounded set B ⊂ U such that B is absorbed in U . Moreover, if one of the two conditions holds: (i) The operator S(t) is compact uniformly for sufficiently large t, that is, for all bounded set B, there exists a t = t0 (B), such that [

S(t)B

(5.3.9)

t⩾t0

is relative compact in E; or (ii) S(t) = S1 (t) + S2 (t), and the operator S1 (·) is compact uniformly for sufficiently large t, that is, S1 (·) satisfies (5.3.9), the operator S2 (t) : E → E is continuous, and for each bounded set B ⊂ E, rB (t) = sup ∥S2 (t)ϕ∥E → 0,

(5.3.10)

¯ φ∈B

then the ω-limit set A = ω(B) of B is a compact attractor, it absorbs all bounded sets in U . Moreover, it is the maximal bounded attractor in U , and it is connected if U is both convex and connected.

5.3

Global attractor and its Hausdorff, fractal dimensions

199

Hence, in order to prove the existence of GS, we should verify the hypotheses in Theorem 5.3.3 or 5.3.6, among these hypotheses, the following three hypotheses are of great important: (i) The existence of semi-group operator S(t); (ii) There exists a bounded or compact absorbing set; (iii) {S(t), t > 0} is a completely continuous operator or satisfies (5.3.9), or (5.3.10). In order to characterize the geometric properties of global attractor, we give some estimation of its Hausdorff dimension and fractal dimension firstly. Definition 5.3.7 The Hausdorff measure of a set X is defined by µH (x, d) = lim µH (X, d, ε) ε→0

= sup µH (X, d, ε),

(5.3.11)

ε>0

where µH (X, d, ε) = inf

(5.3.12)

the infimum is taken by all ball with radius ri ⩽ ε covering X. If there exists a constant d = dH (X) ∈ [0, ∞] such that µH (X, d) = 0, for d > dH (X), µH (X, d) = ∞, for d < dH (X),

(5.3.13)

then the number dH (X) is called the Hausdorff dimension of set X. Definition 5.3.8 The fractal dimension of set X is defined by dF (X) = lim sup ε>0

log nX (ε) , log 1ε

(5.3.14)

where nX (ε) is the minimal number of balls with radius ri ⩽ ε covering X. It is clear that dF (X) = inf{d > 0, µF (X, d) = 0}, (5.3.15) where µF (X, d) = lim sup εd nX (ε). Since µF (X, d) ⩾ µH (X, d), we have ε→0

dH (X) ⩽ dF (X). Now we consider the initial value problem   du(t) = F (u(t)), t > 0, dt  u(0) = u , 0

(5.3.16)

where F (u) is as given function, F (u) : E → E, E is a Bananch space. Suppose for all u0 ∈ E, there exists a global solution u(t) ∈ E. The mapping S(t)u0 : E → E is the semi-group operator of initial value problem (5.3.17). Let F : E → E be Fr´echet differentiable. The initial value problem of linear equation   dU (t) = F ′ (S(t)u ) · U (t), 0 dt (5.3.18)  U (0) = ξ, is solvable for each u0 and ξ ∈ E. Finally, S(t) is differentiable, the derivative L(t, u0 ) is defined by L(t, u0 ) · ξ = U (t) for all ξ ∈ E,

(5.3.19)

and U (t) is a solution of (5.3.18). Since (5.3.18) is the variational equation of (5.3.17), hence all hypotheses above are appearance and easy to verify. For fixed u0 ∈ L2 , suppose that ξ1 , ξ2 , · · · , ξJ are J elements in L2 . Let U1 (t), U2 (t), · · · , UJ (t) be J solutions of linearization equation (5.3.18) with initial value U1 (0) = ξ1 , U2 (0) = ξ2 , · · · , UJ (0) = ξJ . By direct computation, we have d ∥U1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ UJ (t)∥2L2 − 2tr(F ′ (u(t) · QJ ))∥U1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ UJ (t)∥2L2 = 0, (5.3.20) dt where F ′ (u(t) = F ′ (S(t)u0 ) is a linear projection U → F ′ (u(t))U , and u(t) = S(t)u0 is a solution of (5.3.17), the symbol ∧ is the outer product, tr is the trace of corresponding operator, QJ is the orthogonal projection from L2 to the subspace spanned by U1 (t), U2 (t), · · · , UJ (t). The J-dimensional volume ∧Jj=1 ξ is ωj (t) = sup sup ∥U1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ Uj (t)∥2∧jL2 . u0 ∈A ξ∈L2

(5.3.21)

It is easy to verify that ωj (t) is sub-exponent with respect to t, that is, ωj (t + t′ ) ⩽ ωj (t)ωj (t′ ) for all t,

t′ ⩾ 0,

then the volume element ∥U1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ UJ (t)∥ΛJ L2 is exponential decay as t → ∞; for u0 ∈ A and ξ1 , ξ2 , · · · , ξJ ∈ L2 , we have ∥U1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ UJ (t)∥Λm L2 ⩽ ∥U1 (t0 ) ∧ · · · ∧ Um (t0 )∥ΛJ L2 exp(−δ(t − t0 )).

Chapter 5

Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems

Theorem 5.3.11([230]) Suppose that the initial value problem (5.3.17) of nonlinear evolution equation exists a global attractor, and the global attractor is bounded in H 1 (Ω). Suppose further that the initial value problem of linear equation of (5.3.18) is solvable, the semi-group operator determined by initial value problem (5.3.17), S(t)u0 is differentiable. For some j, the qj defined by (5.3.25) satisfies (5.3.32)

qj < 0,

then the Hausdorff dimension and fractal dimension of the global attractor A are finite, and the Hausdorff dimension of A ⩽ j, and the fractal dimension of A is less than or equal to   (ql )+ . (5.3.33) j 1 + max 1⩽l⩽j−1 |qj | Let H be a Hilbert space, X ⊂ H be a compact set, S : X → H be a nonlinear continuous projection such that SX = X. (5.3.34) If for each u ∈ X, there exists a linear projection L(u) ∈ L (H), such that sup u, v∈X 0 0, r > 0, b > 1. Now we want to prove that u(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)) is bounded as t → ∞, and it exists an absorbing set. By (5.3.38), we have 1 d 2 b2 |u| + σx2 + y 2 + bz 2 = b(r + σ)z ⩽ (b − 1)z 2 + (r + σ)2 , 2 dt 4(b − 1)

(5.3.39)

By which we have b(r + σ) . lim sup |u(t)| ⩽ ρ0 with ρ0 = p 2 l(b − 1) t→H0

(5.3.40)

Hence there exists an absorbing set B(0, ρ) : the ball with center 0 and radius ρ > ρ0 . In fact, if B0 is a bounded set in R3 with radius R, then for t ⩾ t(B0 ) with 1 R2 t(B0 ) = log 2 , 2l ρ − ρ20 S(t)B0 ⊂ B(0, ρ). Moreover, we can prove that the ball B(0, ρ) is positive invariant, i.e., S(t)B(0, ρ) ⊂ B(0, ρ),

for t ⩾ 0.

By the estimation (5.3.39), we can verify the hypotheses of Theorem 5.3.6 are fulfilled, thus the Lorenz model exists global attractor. Now we turn to estimate the Hausdorff dimension of Lorenz attractor. Rewriting (5.3.38) as u˙ = F (u), (5.3.41) where

Now we consider initial value problems of (5.3.41) with initial condition U (0 ) = ξ,

ξ ∈ R3 ,

(5.3.45)

where ξ = (ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ), U = (U1 , U2 , U3 ). We consider the changes of two and three dimensional volume elements: d |U1 ∧ U2 ∧ U3 | = |U1 ∧ U2 ∧ U3 |tr(F ′ (u)), dt

(5.3.46)

d |U1 ∧ U2 | = |U1 ∧ U2 |tr(F ′ (u) · Q), dt

(5.3.47)

where Q = Q2 (t, u0 , ξ1 , ξ2 ) is the orthogonal projection of R3 on the subspace spanned by U1 (t), U2 (t). By (5.3.44), the trace of F ′ (u) is −(σ + b + 1), thus by (5.3.20), we have |U1 (t) ∧ U2 (t) ∧ U3 (t)| = |ξ1 ∧ ξ2 ∧ ξ3 | · exp(−(σ + b + 1)t),

(5.3.48)

thus the three-dimensional infinitesimal volume element decays as t exponents increasing for Lorenz equation. By (5.3.43), we get sup ξ∈R3 |ξi |⩽1, i=1,2,3

|U1 (t) ∧ U2 (t) ∧ U3 (t)| ⩽ exp(−(σ + b + 1)t),

If ξ1 ∧ ξ2 ̸= 0, then |U1 (t) ∧ U2 (t)| ̸= 0. Suppose ϕ1 , ϕ2 , ϕ3 are orthogonal bases of R3 such that ϕ1 , ϕ2 are the bases of span by [U1 (t), U2 (t)], then tr(A1 + A2 ) · Q = trA1 · Q ⩾ 1 + b + σ − m, where m = max{1, b, σ}; tr(B(u) · Q) =

where

sup ξ∈R3 |ξi |⩽1, i=1,2

|U1 (t) ∧ U2 (t)| ⩽ |ξ1 ∧ ξ2 | exp((k2 + δ)t),

(5.3.54)

(5.3.55)

|U1 (t) ∧ U2 (t)| ⩽ exp((k2 + δ)t) for t ⩾ t1 (δ).

(5.3.56)

Hence ω2 (t) ⩽ exp((k2 + δ)t),

for t ⩾ t1 (δ).

(5.3.57)

Since δ > 0 is a sufficiently small number, letting t → ∞, we have 1

we obtain by (5.3.49) and (5.6.64) that ωd (t) ⩽ W21−S (t)W3S (t) ⩽ exp(k(δ)t) < 1. By Theorem 5.3.12, we get the Hausdorff dimension of Lorenz attractor A ⩽ d. If (5.3.60) holds, i.e., k2 + δ S> , (5.3.61) σ + b + 1 + k2 + δ

then the Hausdorff dimension of Lorenz attractor A is bounded, its bound is estimated by (5.3.63), where m = max(1, b, σ). If σ = 10, r = 8, b =

Global attractor and the bounds of Hausdorff dimensions for weak damped KdV equation

We consider the existence of global attractor of the following damped KdV equation (5.4.1)

ut + uux + uxxx + νu = f with periodic boundary condition u(x + L, t) = u(x, t),

for all x ∈ R,

t ⩾ 0,

u(x, 0) = u0 (x),

(5.4.2) (5.4.3)

where ν > 0, f (x, t) is a known function. By [56], as u0 (x) and f (x, t) are sufficiently smooth functions, the global solution of (5.4.1)-(5.4.3) exists. When f (x, t) is independent of t, or it is periodic function with respect to t, the solutions of (5.4.1)-(5.4.3) form a semi-group {S(t)}t>0 , that is S(0) = I,

S(t1 + t2 ) = S(t1 )S(t2 ) for all ti ∈ R+ .

(5.4.4)

It is easy to verify that the semi-group operator S(t) : H 2 (Ω) → H 2 (Ω) with Ω = [0, L] is weakly continuous. We first give the uniform priori estimation with respect to t of periodic boundary value problem (5.4.1)-(5.4.3), by which we construct the absorbing set, and prove the existence of global attractor.

Lemma 5.4.1 Suppose ν > 0, f ∈ H 2 . Then there exists a constant ρ2 = ρ2 (L, ν, ∥f ∥2 ), such that for all R > 0, there exists a T2 (R) such that ∥S(t)u0 ∥2 ⩽ ρ2 f or all u0 ∈ H2 , where ∥v∥m

(5.4.13)

Proof We use (5.4.8) to get the estimation of |S(t)u0 |0 , (5.4.9) to get |S(t)u0 |1 , and (5.4.10) to get |S(t)u0 |2 . Firstly, by (5.4.8), we get d 2 |u| + 2ν|u|20 ⩽ 2|f |0 |u|0 , dt 0

|S(t)u0 |0 ⩽ |u0 |0 e−νt + |f |0 (1 − e−νt )/ν,

Now we turn to estimate the dimension of attractor. Consider the first variational equation of (5.4.1) vt + (uv)x + vxxx + νv = 0 (5.4.35) with periodic boundary condition v(x + L, t) = v(x, t),

for all x, t ∈ R,

(5.4.36) (5.4.37)

v(x, 0) = v0 (x), where u = u(t) : S(t)u0 , t ∈ R, u0 ∈ H is a trajectory, and 2

v0 (x) ∈ H 2 .

(5.4.38)

Since u ∈ L∞ ((0, ∞); H 2 ), it is easy to prove that the linear equation (5.4.35)(5.4.37) have a solution v ∈ L∞ ((0, ∞); H 1 ). (5.4.39) We can even prove that the linear map (5.4.40)

(DS(t)u0 )v0 = v(t) is the uniform differentiation in the following sense.

Proposition 5.4.3 For given R and T with 0 < R, T < ∞, there exists a constant C = C(R, T ) such that for u0 , h0 and t satisfying ∥u0 ∥ ⩽ R,

∥u0 + h0 ∥ ⩽ R,

|t| ⩽ T,

we have ∥S(t)(u0 + h0 ) − S(t)u0 − (DS(t)u0 )h0 ∥1 ⩽ C∥h0 ∥21 .

(5.4.42)

Now we investigate the change of m-dimensional volume of the linear operator v(t) = DS(t)u0 , u0 ∈ A on H 1 . Taking v01 , v02 , · · · , v0m ∈ H 1 , we investigate the change of their Gram determination ∥v 1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ v m (t)∥21 =

It is known that (5.4.43) is the square of volume of the polyhedron generated by vectors v 1 (t), v 2 (t), · · · , v m (t), we prove that this determination will decay exponentially for sufficiently large m as t → ∞ below.

By Lemma 5.4.4, for fixed t ∈ [0, T ] and ϕ(η, η) = q˜(t; L(t)η, L(t)η), (5.4.50), we know that (5.4.44) is true. By (5.4.45), we see that for all t ∈ [0, T ], αm Gm (t) ⩽ Hm (t) ⩽ β m Gm (t).

(5.4.61)

For t ∈ [0, Tmax ], we get by (5.4.55) and (5.4.60) that Gm (t) > 0, hence for all t ∈ [0, Tmax ], L(t)η01 , L(t)η02 , · · · , L(t)η0m are linearly independent. Since F ⊂ Rm , dimF = l and t ∈ [0, Tmax ], (m ) X i F = xi L(t)η0 , x ∈ F i=1

By Theorem 5.4.6, we can obtain the change of m-dimensional volume of DS(t)u0 for u0 ∈ A in H 1 . Suppose x is an invariant set in H 2 , that is, S(t)x = x for all t ∈ R.

(5.4.67)

Equation (5.4.35) can be simplified to ωt + (uω)x + ωxxx = 0.

(5.4.68)

Since ((uω)x + ωxx )(uω + ωxx ) can be considered as a differential form with respect to x, multiplying (5.4.68) with 2ωxx + 2uω and integrating it, we get Z 2 ωt (ωxx + uω)dx = 0. (5.4.69) Hence Z To estimate

Let q = qµ , r = rµ , L(t) = eνt DS(t)u0 , η0i = ui0 .

By Segal theory, Cauchy problem (5.5.45)-(5.5.47) have a unique solution u(t) ∈ [0, T∗ ], where T∗ = +∞ or lim sup |u(t)| = +∞. By Proposition 5.5.3, the latter t→T∗

Then initial value problem (5.5.45)-(5.5.47) exist a unique solution, and for t ∈ R, the map u0 → u(t) is continuous. Furthermore, if f ∈ L∞ (R+ ; H),

ft ∈ L∞ (R+ ; V ′ ),

then u ∈ L∞ (R+ ; V ).

Hence we obtain H 1 -modular estimation of {um (t)} with independent to m, since ft ∈ L∞ (R; V ′ ), inequality (5.5.37) should be replaced by |Re⟨ft , u⟩| ⩽ |ft |∗ · |u|20 + L2 |ux |20

(5.5.50)

Let m → ∞. Using standard method, we see that u ∈ L∞ loc (R+ ; V ). Using t → −t, (5.5.45)-(5.5.47) can be discussed similar, thus we obtain a solution u ∈ L∞ loc (R; V ) of (5.5.45)-(5.5.47), and u(·, t) is weakly continuous from R to V . The strong continuity can be obtained by bootstrap technique, i.e., (5.5.46) is obtained by improving the smoothness of f˜ in the linear equation iut − Au = f˜ = f − iγu − g(|u|2 )u. Finally, we prove the uniqueness and continuous dependence of solution. Suppose u1 and u2 are two solutions of (5.5.45)-(5.5.47), let ω = u1 − u2 . Then ω satisfies iωt − Aω + iγω = g(|u2 |2 )u2 − g(|u1 |2 )u1 .

The existence of bounded absorbing set of H 1 modular

Suppose that f ∈ L∞ (R+ ; H),

ft ∈ L∞ (R+ ; V ′ ).

(5.5.54)

By (5.5.29), (5.5.30) and (5.5.33), the solution in Theorem 5.5.4 satisfies u(x, t) ∈ L∞ (R+ ; V ). We have the following proposition. Proposition 5.5.5 Suppose that hypotheses (5.5.6) and (5.5.7) hold, there exists a constant ρ∞,1 , such that for arbitrary R > 0 and v0 ∈ V with |u0 |20 + L2 |u0x |20 ⩽ R2 ,

(5.5.55)

there exists a T1 (R) > 0, such that the solution of (5.5.45)-(5.5.47) satisfies |u(t)|20 + L2 |ux |20 ⩽ (ρ∞,1 )2 ,

∀ t ⩾ T1 (R).

(5.5.56)

Proof By (5.5.29) and (5.5.16), we get |u(t)|20 ⩽ R2 e−γt + Hence, |u(t)|20 ⩽ where T0 (R) = e2∞ by

Now, we strengthen the hypotheses on f and ft . Let f ∈ L∞ loc (R; H),

and the map u0 → u(t) is continuous in D(A). In fact, let η = ut , differentiating (5.5.46) with respect to t, we get iηt − Aη + {g(|u|2 ) + g ′ (|u|2 )|u|2 }η + g ′ (|u|2 )u2 η¯ + iγη = ft .

(5.5.72)

By (5.5.46), we have By (5.5.65), (5.5.71) and u ∈ L∞ loc (R; V ), we get (5.5.66), the proof of the continuity of map u0 → u(t) in D(A) is similar to that of Theorem 5.5.4. If we suppose f ∈ L∞ (R+ ; H), ft ∈ L∞ (R+ ; H), (5.5.73) then we have the following proposition. Proposition 5.5.6 Suppose g satisfies (5.5.6), (5.5.7), and (5.5.73) holds, then there exists a constant ρ∞,2 such that for arbitrary R > 0 and u0 ∈ D(A) with |u0 |20 + L2 |u0x |20 + L4 |u0xx |20 ⩽ R2 ,

(5.5.74)

there exists a T2 (R) > 0, such that the solution of (5.5.45)-(5.5.47) satisfies |u(t)|20 + L2 |ux |20 + L4 |uxx |20 ⩽ (ρ∞,2 )2 ,

∀ t ⩾ T2 .

(5.5.75)

Proof Suppose (5.5.56) holds. For sufficiently large t, we estimate |uxx |20 . Taking inner product by (5.5.46) with Aut + γAu then taking real part, we get −Re(Au, Aut + γAu)0 + Re(g(|u|2 )u − f, Aut + γAu)0 = 0.

t ∈ R.

(5.5.95)

We know S(t) forms a semi-group, and it is continuous on D(A); by Proposition 5.5.5 and Proposition 5.5.6, we obtain the following corollary.

∀ t ∈ R,

(5.5.99)

the closure is taken in the sense of weak topology in D(A). Proof We can obtain the desired result using the two facts: (i) S(t) is weakly continuous in D(A), (5.5.100) (ii) b ∈ ω(B2 ) ⇔ ∃ two sequences tn ∈ R, bn ∈ B2 , such that S(tn )bn convergents weakly in D(A) as tn → ∞, n → ∞.

(5.5.101)

We prove (5.5.100) firstly. It is sufficient to prove that the weak convergence of vn to v in D(A) implies the weak convergence of S(t)vn to S(t)v in D(A). Since the mapping D(A) onto V is compact, vn is strongly convergent to v in V , thus S(t) is continuous on V , and S(t)vn is strongly convergent to S(t)v in V . On the other hand, vn is bounded in D(A), so does S(t)vn . We select a subsequence of S(t)vn such that it is weakly convergent to certain ω, since S(t)vn is strongly convergent to S(t)v in V , hence ω = S(t)v, which shows that all subsequences of S(t)vn are weakly convergent to S(t)v in D(A). Since B2 is absorbing set, let dω be the distance in D(A). It is easy to prove that there exists a ω, such that dω (S(t)bn , ω) → 0 as n → ∞. This completes the proof of (5.5.101). Suppose B2 is a bounded absorbing set in D(A), then ω(B2 ) is the largest attractor. We have the following theorem. Theorem 5.5.9 The set A = ω(B2 )

A is the largest set satisfying (5.5.103)-(5.5.105)in the sense of inclusion, and it is connected in the weak topology of D(A). Proof The properties (5.5.103) and (5.5.104) follow from Proposition 5.5.8. We prove (5.5.105) by contradiction. Suppose that there exist two sequences tn ∈ R, bn ∈ B with S(tn )bn ∈ B2 such that dω (S(tn )bn , A ) ⩾ ε0 > 0,

(5.5.106)

where ε0 is independent of n. Since S(tn )bn is bounded in D(A), there exists a b ∈ B2 such that dω (S(tn )bn , b) → 0, as n → ∞.      tn tn S bn . By (5.5.101), we know b ∈ ω(B2 ) = A , which Let S(tn )bn = S 2 2 contradicts to (5.5.106). The claim of maximal set in theorem is obvious, since its connectedness comes from the convex and connectedness of B2 , it is compact in the weak topology and the following abstract result. Lemma 5.5.10 Let (E , d) be a metric space, F be a nonempty compact and connected set. Suppose (Σ(t))t⩾0 is the semi-group in E which satisfies (i) for all t ∈ R+ , Σ(t) is continuous on E , (ii) for all e ∈ E , the map mapping R+ to E by t → Σ(t)e is continuous, (iii) there exist a compact set K and t0 ∈ R+ , such that Σ(t)F ⊂ K, then the ω-limit set of F to Σ(t) ω(F ) =

∀t ⩾ t0 ,

Σ(t)F

s⩾0 t⩾s

is a connected and compact nonempty set. Proof Set ε = B2 , d = dω , Σ(t) = S(t), F = K = B2 , t0 = T2 (B2 ). Then (i)-(iii) follow from Lemmas 5.5.1-5.5.10. Since D(A) can be compact embedded in D(As ) for s < 1, and D(As ) can be continuous embedded in H 2s (0, L), thus D(A) can be compact embedded in 1 H 2s (0, L) for s < 1, which implies the convergence in (5.5.103) by selecting s = 2 of H 2s (0, L).

When both u01 and u02 are contained in certain bounded set of V , i.e., |u0i |1 ⩽ R, we know that for all T ∈ (0, ∞), sup |ui (x, t)| are finite for i = 1, 2, the supremum is taken for all x ∈ [0, L], |t| ⩽ T and |u0i | ⩽ R. Hence there exists a constant c(T, R) such that the right-hand side of (5.5.108) is confined to c(T, R)|ω|2 , using Gronwall inequality, we obtain the desired result. Corollary 5.5.13 with respect to S(t).

The A ∗ defined in (5.5.107) is the largest attractor in V

Since A is bounded in D(A), so does in V . By the invariance of A , we have A ⊂ A ∗.

(5.5.109)

Conversely, if A ∗ is bounded in D(A), then A ∗ ⊂ A , and hence, A = A ∗. 5.5.6

The dimension of invariant set

In this subsection, we will prove that the global attractor A in D(A) has finite fractal dimension. Firstly, we prove the m dimensional volume of the differentiation of semi-group S(t) in V is a contraction, here we use a new equivalent modular, rather than the classical modular, by which we can estimate the modulus obtained by different a priori estimation. Let u0 ∈ V , and v(t) be a solution of linear initial value problem ivt − Av + [g(|u|2 ) + |u|2 g ′ (|u|2 )]v + g ′ (|u|2 )u2 v¯ + iγv = 0,

(5.5.112)

The equation (5.5.110) is the variant equation of (5.5.46). Now we consider (5.5.46) as a system of equations of real part and imaginary part, the map DS(t)u0 is defined as (DS(t)u0 )v0 = v(t), (5.5.113) i.e., the differentiation of S(t) at u0 , using the classical method, we obtain S(t) is differentiable at u0 . Proposition 5.5.14 Let R, R1 and T be three positive numbers. There exists a constant c = c(R, R1 , T ) such that for all u0 , v0 , t with |u0 |V ⩽ R1 , |v0 |V ⩽ R and |t| ⩽ T , |s(t)(u0 + v0 ) − s(t)u0 − (Ds(t)u0 )v0 |V ⩽ c|v0 |2V .

Let ω(x, t) = v(x, t)eγt ,

(5.5.115)

where v(x, t) is a solution of initial value problem (5.5.110) and (5.5.111). We have iωt − Aω + (g(|u|2 ) + g ′ (|u|2 )|u|2 )ω + g ′ (|u|2 )u2 ω = 0, ω(0) = v0 . Taking inner product by (5.5.116) with ω ¯ t then taking real part, we get Z L  1 d |ωx |20 − Re g(|u|2 )ω ω ¯ t + 2g ′ (|u|2 )Re(u¯ ω )u¯ ωt dx = 0. 2 dt 0 Let

which implies (5.5.130). We define the bilinear form in VR × VR as Z L  ¯ − g(|u|2 )η ξ¯ − 2g ′ (|u|2 )Re(u¯ ¯ + µη ξ¯ dx. ϕ(t; η, ξ) = Re ηx ξ¯x + µξη η )Re(uξ) 0

(5.5.133) It is obvious that ϕ(t; ·, ·) = qµ (·, ·). Hence ϕ(t; ·, ·) is an inner product in V , which is continuous and coercive. We introduce the Gram determination Hm (t) =

As we know, the determination of the inner products of vectors ξ 1 , · · · , ξ m in a Hilbert space H is the same as the determination of the quadratic form   m m X  X (x1 , · · · , xm ) → ψ xj ξ j , xj ξ j   j=1

If there exists another inner product ψ1 in H , which is continuous and coercive, i.e., αψ(ξ, ξ) ⩽ ψ1 (ξ, ξ) ⩽ βψ(ξ, ξ), ∀ξ ∈ H , (5.5.136) then αm

Now we select inner product H = V , by (5.5.129), (5.5.136) follows if β = µ, α = L−2 . Hence by (5.5.137), we have Lemma 5.5.15 Under the hypotheses mentioned above, L−2m Gm (t) ⩽ Hm (t) ⩽ µm Gm (t),

We now estimate the change of m-dimensional volume formed by DS(t)u0 in V . Theorem 5.5.16 Suppose X is an invariant set, which is bounded in D(A). Then there exist constants c1 and c2 , such that for each v0 ∈ X, m ⩾ 1 and t ⩾ 0, v i (t) = (DS(t)u0 )v0i fulfills |v 1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ v m (t)|V ⩽ |v01 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ v0m (t)|V cm 1 exp(c2 − γm )t.

If |v01 ∧ · · · ∧ v0m |2 = 0, then v0i (t) are linearly dependent, so do v i (t), and hence (5.5.144) holds.If |v01 ∧ · · · ∧ v0m |v = ̸ 0, the continuity implies for t small enough, |v 1 (t) ∧ · · · ∧ v m (t)| ̸= 0, thus {ω 1 (t), · · · , ω m (t)}!are linearly independent. Hence m P for any G ⊂ Rm , x ∈ G\{0}, qµ t; xj ω j (t) ̸= 0, we deduce by (5.5.129), j=1

Next we estimate the dimension of global attractor A . As we know, the fractal dimension of a metric space E is defined by AF (E ) = lim sup ε→0+

(5.5.153)

where Nε (E ) is the least number of balls with radius ε covering E . As we know, dH (E ) ⩽ dF (E ), where dH (E ) is the Hausdorff dimension of E . Define nonlinear map S on compact subset X of Hilbert space H , and suppose (5.5.154)

SX = X.

For each u ∈ X, there exists a linear operator L(u) ∈ L (H , H ) such that lim

thus (5.5.160) holds, and further (5.5.161) and (5.5.162) hold, too. This completes the proof of Theorem 5.5.18.

Proposition 5.6.2 Let f ∈ Cb (R+ ; H), u0 ∈ V1 , u1 ∈ H. Suppose λ1 is the
λ1 first eigenvalue of A. Then for any ε with 0 < ε ⩽ ε0 , ε0 = min α4 , 2α , and for all t > 0, the solution of initial value problem (5.6.1) and (5.6.2) satisfies |u(t)|21 + |u(t) ˙ + εu(t)|2 ⩽ {|u0 |21 + |u1 + εu0 |2 }e−εt +

1 − e−εt 2 |f |L∞ (R+ ,V−1 ) . αε (5.6.6)

Proof Let v = u˙ + εu. Then (5.6.1) can be rewritten v˙ + (α − ε)v + (A − ε(α − ε))u = f.

(5.6.7)

Taking inner product by (5.6.1) with u, and (5.6.7) with v, then summing them up, we get 1 d (|u|21 + |v|2 ) + ε|u|21 + (α − ε)|v|2 − ε(α − ε)(u, v) = (f, v). 2 dt Since ε|u|21 + (α − ε)|v|2 − ε(α − ε)(u, v) ε(α − ε) √ |u|1 |v| λ1 r ε ⩾ ε|u|21 + (α − ε)|v|2 − (α − ε)|u|1 |v| 2α ε α ⩾ (|v|2 + |u|21 ) + |v|2 , 2 2 ⩾ ε|u|21 + (α − ε)|v|2 −

(5.6.8)

we get 1 d (|u|21 + |v|2 ) + ε(|u|21 + |v|2 ) + α|v|2 ⩽ 2(f, v) ⩽ α|v|2 + |f |2 . dt α

(5.6.9)

Then (5.6.9) and Gr¨onwall inequality imply (5.6.5). By (5.6.7), taking inner product with respect to v(·, ·)−1 , we get 1 d (|u|2 + |v|2−1 ) + ε|u|2 + (α − ε)|v|2−1 − ε(α − ε)(u, v)−1 = (f, v)−1 , 2 dt by (5.6.8), we can easily obtain ε|u|2 + (α − ε)|v|2−1 − ε(α − ε)(u, v)−1 ⩾

ε α (|u|2 + |v|2−1 ) + |v|2−1 . 2 2

(5.6.10)

Hence d 1 (|u|2 +|v|2−1 )+ε(|u|2 +|v|2−1 )+α|v|2−1 ⩽ 2(f, v)−1 ⩽ 2|f |−1 |v|−1 ⩽ α|v|2−1 + |f |2−1 , dt α which implies (5.6.6).

Remark 5.6.3 Let ϕ = {u, v}, v = u˙ + εu. Then (5.6.1) can be rewritten as system of equations ϕ˙ + Λε ϕ = F, (5.6.11) where F = (0, f ) and Λε =

We can consider (5.6.11) in the product space E1 = V2 × V1 , E0 = V1 × H or E−1 = H × V−1 . For α > 0, 0 < ε ⩽ ε0 , we define the group operator Σε (t) as linear operator ϕ0 ∈ Ei → ϕ(t) = Σε (t)ϕ0 ∈ Ei , where t ∈ R, ϕ(t) is a solution of ϕ˙ + Λε ϕ = 0 with initial condition ϕ(0) = ϕ0 . Proposition 5.6.2 gives that Σε is exponentially decay in E0 and E−1 for 0 < ε ⩽ ε0 : ∥Σε (t)∥L(E0 ) ⩽ e−εt/2 ,

∀ t ⩾ 0,

(5.6.13)

∥Σε (t)∥L(E−1 ) ⩽ e−εt ,

∀ t ⩾ 0.

(5.6.14)

As α > 0, we consider the bounded solution on the real number axil, i.e., given f ∈ Cb (R; H), we seek for solution of (5.6.1) satisfying boundary condition lim sup |(u(t), u(t))| ˙ E0 < +∞.

Proposition 5.6.4 {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E0 ), and

where 0 < ε ⩽ ε0 . Furthermore, if f, f˙ ∈ Cb (R; H), then {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E1 ) and {u, ˙ u ¨} ∈ Cb (R; E0 ). Proof For the uniqueness, we need to prove that u satisfying (5.6.1), together with {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E0 ), f = 0, implies u ≡ 0. In fact, we can prove u ≡ 0 under weaker hypothesis that {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E+ ). For given t ⩾ s, by (5.6.6) and f ≡ 0, we have |u(t)|2 + |u(t) ˙ + εu(t)|2−1 ⩽ {|u(s)|2 + |u(s) ˙ + εu(s)|2−1 }e−ε(t−s) ⩽ ce−ε(t−s) , where c is independent to s. Let s → ∞. Then we have u(t) = 0.

For the existence, set ψ(t, τ ) = Σε (t−τ )(0, f (τ )). For t ∈ R, we know by (5.6.13) that ψ(t, ·) ∈ L1 (−∞, t; E0 ), and 1

|ψ(t, τ )|E0 ⩽ e 2 ε(t−τ ) |f |L∞ (R,H) ,

Let β be the modular of Λε in C(E0 ; E−1 ). We have d ψ(t, τ ) ⩽ β|ψ(t, τ )|L∞ (R;E0 ) ⩽ βe−ε(t−τ )/2 |f |L∞ (R;H) . ∞ dt L (R;E−1 ) Then (5.6.17) implies Z

thus ϕ(t) ∈ C 1 (R; E−1 ). Moreover, we get ϕ(t) = {u(t), v(t)}, where v = u˙ + εu satisfies (5.6.11), this completes the proof of (5.6.16). When f, f˙ ∈ Cb (R; H), we have {u, u, ˙ u ¨} ∈ C([−T, T ]; V2 × V1 × H), ∀ T > 0. Since u ¨ ∈ Cb (R; V−1 ) implies that ω = u˙ satisfies {ω, ω} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E−1 ), and ω ¨ + αω˙ + Aω = f˙.

(5.6.19)

By the proof given above, we know (5.6.1) has a unique solution {ω, ω} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; E0 ), and this solution is unique in Cb (R; E−1 ). Hence u ¨ ∈ Cb (R; H), u˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1 ), then we get Au ∈ Cb (R; H) by (5.6.1). Hence u ∈ Cb (R; V2 ). This completes the proof of this proposition.

Then there exists a unique solution u of initial value problem (5.6.1) and (5.6.2) satisfying {u, u} ˙ ∈ C([0, T ]; Vs+1 × Vs ). (5.6.21) Furthermore, we have the following energy equality 1 d (|u|2s+1 + |v|2s ) + ε|u|2s+1 + (α − ε)|v|2s + ε(ε − α)(u, v)s = (f, v)s , 2 dt

(5.6.22)

where v ≡ u˙ + εu. Proof We give the proof as s = 0 only, for the general case s ∈ R, one just need replace V1 , H, V−1 by Vs+1 , Vs , Vs−1 , respectively. We can consider the more special and simple case as α = 0 and ε = 0. The proof of existence needs Galerkin method, and the uniqueness can be obtained by energy equality. 5.6.2

then the solution of problem (5.6.26)∼(5.6.27) satisfies {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R+ ; (H 2 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω)) × H01 (Ω)). Furthermore, the closed sphere in {H 2 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω)} × H01 (Ω) is an absorbing set of (5.6.28) in {H 2 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω)} × H01 (Ω).

we deduce by (5.6.47) that   r r |g(ξ)|1 ⩽ C(R) 1 + R 2 |ξ|22 . r Then (5.6.33) and (5.6.47) imply (5.6.46) with σ = 1 − . 2 Now, we prove Theorem 5.6.8. Taking inner product in E1 by (5.6.28) with ϕ, we get 1 d (|u|22 + |u|21 ) + ε|u|21 + ε(ε − α)(u, v)1 + (α − ε)|v|21 + (g(u), v)1 2 dt d (5.6.48) = ε(f, u) − (f˙, Au) + (f, Au). dt Since 0 < ε ⩽ ε0 , where ε0 fulfills Proposition 5.6.2, we have ε|u|22 + ε(ε − α)(u, v)1 + (α − ε)|v|21 ⩾

For the existence, uniqueness of initial value problem (5.6.61)∼(5.6.62), we have the following classical result. Proposition 5.6.11 Suppose f, u0 , u1 are given functions satisfying f ∈ C([0, T ]; H),

u0 ∈ V1 , u1 ∈ H.

Then the initial value problem (5.6.61)∼(5.6.62) exists a unique solution u, which satisfies {u, u} ˙ ∈ C([0, T ]; V1 × H). Furthermore, for each t ∈ [0, T ], the map {u0 , u1 } → {u(t), u(t)} ˙ is an isomorphism from E0 to E0 . 5.6.3

(5.6.68)

where f˙(t) ≡ 0, ∀t ∈ R, H, A and g(u) fulfill the hypothesis (5.6.2). Moreover, we add two further hypotheses. (1) There exists a σ2 > 0, such that for all ξ ∈ V1 , the differentiation g ′ (ξ) ∈ L(H; V−1+σ2 ), and for all R > 0, sup |g ′ (ξ)|L(H;V−1+σ2 ) < +∞.

Λε0 = , ε0 = min 4 2α ε0 (ε0 − α) + A α − ε0 For ϕ0 ∈ E0 , the map S(t) : ϕ0 → S(t)ϕ0 = ϕ(t) is a homeomorphism in E0 . Since F is independent to t, the system (5.6.71) is autonomous. Hence {S(t)}t∈R is

a nonlinear semi-group acting on E0 . By Theorem 5.6.10, S(t) is a homeomorphism in E1 . Although S(t) is a homeomorphism in E0 , it is not a compact mapping. However, the lemma listed below shows that S(t) can be represented to sum of two mappings, one of them tends to zero as t → +∞, and the other is a compact mapping. Lemma 5.6.12 For all t ∈ R+ , the mapping S(t) has a decomposition (5.6.73)

S(t) = Σε0 (t) + U (t),

the continuous mapping U (t) : E0 → E0 is uniformly compact, i.e., for any bounded S set B in E0 and for all t ∈ R, S(τ )B is relatively compact in E0 . τ ⩾t

Proof The solution of initial value problem (5.6.71)∼(5.6.72) can be written as Z

Proof By (i), we know ω(B0 ) ⊂ B0 , thus ω(B0 ) is bounded in E0 . Taking B = ω(B0 ) in (5.6.83), then (5.6.82) implies ω(B0 ) ⊂ K. Hence ω(B0 ) is bounded and compact in E0 . The remainder part need to prove that for any bounded set B in E0 , lim sup dE0 (S(t)ϕ, ω(B0 )) = 0. (5.6.84) t→+∞ φ∈B

We prove it by contradiction. If there exists certain bounded set B in E0 , which (5.6.84) does not hold for this B, then there exists a sequence {(tn , ϕn )} satisfying ϕn ∈ B, tn → +∞ as n → ∞, and dE0 (s(tn )ϕn , ω(B0 )) ⩾ δ > 0.

(5.6.85)

By (5.6.83), dE0 (s(tn )ϕn , K) → 0 as n → ∞, thus there exists a sequence {kn } ⊂ K such that s(tn )ϕn − kn → 0. By the compactness of K, there exists a subsequence {kn′ } such that kn′ → k ∈ K as n′ → +∞. By (i), for n′ sufficiently large, S(tn′ /2)ϕn′ is contained in B0 . Since S(tn′ /2)S(tn′ /2)ϕn′ → k as n′ → +∞, we know k ∈ ω(B0 ) by (5.6.81), which contradicts to (5.6.85). This completes the proof. We can obtain the following theorem by Proposition 5.6.13.

Furthermore, U is bounded in E1 . Proof By Theorem 5.6.9, there exists a bounded absorbing set B0 in E0 , thus hypothesis (i) in Proposition 5.6.13 holds. Now we show (ii) is true, too. In fact, let B be a bounded set in E0 . By Lemma 5.6.12, there exists a compact set K ⊂ E0 such that [ U (t)B0 ⊂ K. (5.6.86) t⩾0

We prove (5.6.87)

lim dE0 (S(t)B, K) = 0

t→+∞

firstly. In fact, let ρ be the radius of sphere containing B ⊂ E0 , ψ0 ∈ B. Then by (5.6.73), we have S(t)ψ0 = Σε0 (t)ψ0 + U (t)ψ0 . (5.6.88) By (5.6.13), we get dE0 (S(t)ψ0 , K) ⩽ |Σε0 (t)ψ0 | ⩽ ρe−ε0 t/2 , thus (5.6.87) follows. Hence, by Proposition 5.6.13, we obtain that U = ω(B0 ) is a maximal attractor of (5.6.71) and (5.6.72) in E0 . As a corollary of (5.6.70), U is bounded in E1 . In fact, let R0 be the radius of sphere containing B0 ⊂ E0 and ϕ0 ∈ U . Since U is invariant with respect to S(t), there exists a trajectory ϕ(t) ∈ U , ϕ(0) = ϕ0 , then (5.6.70) implies ϕ(t) ∈ E1 , ∀t ∈ R, and |ϕ(0)|E1 ⩽ C5 (R) with R = |f | + R0 . This completes the proof. 5.6.4 Dimension of the maximal attractor Suppose S is a continuous mapping: X → Y , such that X = SX

or

X ⊂ SX,

(5.6.89)

and S is uniformly differentiable on X, that is, for all ϕ ∈ X, there exists a linear operator L = L(ϕ) ∈ L (Y ) on Y , such that sup φ,ψ∈X 0 0 such that (5.6.97)

w ¯D < 1, then the Hausdorff dimension of X is finite, and less than or equal to D. (ii) There exists a D > 0 such that D = N + s, N, 0 < s ⩽ 1, (w ¯N +1 )(D−l)/(N +1) w ¯N < 1,

l = 1, 2, · · · , N,

(5.6.98)

then the fractal dimension of X is finite, and less than or equal to D. By taking advantage of the estimate of w ¯D , one could obtain another form of Theorem 5.6.15. Set w ¯m (t) = sup wm (L(t; ϕ0 )), φ0 ∈U

(5.6.99)

According to the chain rule of differentiation, for ϕ0 ∈ U , wm (L(t1 + t2 ; ϕ0 )) = wm (L(t1 ; S(t2 )ϕ0 ) ◦ L(t2 ; ϕ0 )) ⩽ wm (L(t1 ; S(t2 )ϕ0 )wm (L(t2 ; ϕ0 )) ⩽w ¯m (t1 )w ¯m (t2 ). For the above formula, we apply the following inequality wm (L1 · L2 ) ⩽ wm (L1 )wm (L2 ),

∀L1 , L2 ∈ L (Y ),

(5.6.100)

where wm (L) = ∥Λm L∥L (Λm Y ) . Hence, w ¯m (t1 + t2 ) ⩽ w ¯m (t1 )w ¯m (t2 ).

This implies that the function t → w ¯m (t) is sub-exponential. Hence, the following limit hold: 1

(5.6.117)

From equation (5.6.116) and (Λε0 ψ, ψ) ⩾ 0, it is direct to obtain 1 d |ψ|2 ⩽ k|ϕ − ϕ| ˜ 2E0 = k|ψ|2E0 . 2 dt E0 Hence, |ϕ(t) − ϕ(t)| ˜ ⩽ ekt0 |ϕ0 − ϕ˜0 |,

where ϕ˜0 = ϕ0 + ξ, ξ ∈ E0 , then θ(t) satisfies θ(0) = 0 and θ˙ + Λε0 θ + Γ′ (ϕ)θ = ζ,

Combining (5.6.53) and (5.6.113), there exists a constant C2 = C2 (R), such that |Γ′ (τ ϕ˜ + (1 − τ )ϕ) − Γ′ (ϕ)|L (E0 ) ⩽ C2 τ δ |ϕ − ϕ| ˜ δ. Hence, |ζ|E0 ⩽ C2′ |ϕ − ϕ| ˜ 1+δ .

(5.6.122)

Taking the inner product with θ in E0 , equation (5.6.120) infers that 1 d 2 |θ| + (Λε0 θ, θ) + (Γ′ (ϕ)θ, Q) = (ζ, θ). 2 dt Owing to the existence of a C > 0, such that |Γ′ (ϕ(t))|L (E0 ) ⩽

(5.6.124)

which proves Proposition 5.6.16. Now, attention is turned to check (5.6.90). In fact, given ϕ and ψ ∈ U , denote S = S(t0 ), L(ϕ) = L(t0 , ϕ), then Z 1n o Sψ − Sϕ − L(ϕ)(ψ − ϕ) = L(θψ + (1 − θ)ϕ) − L(ϕ) (ψ − ϕ) dθ. 0

Since U is bounded on E0 , according to Proposition 5.6.16, there exists a C, such that |L(θψ + (1 − θ)ϕ) − L(ϕ)|E0 ⩽ |θψ + (1 − θ)ϕ − ϕ|δE0 ⩽ C|ψ − ϕ|δE0 , which infers

|Sψ − Sϕ − L(ϕ)(ψ − ϕ)|E0 ⩽ |ψ − ϕ|δE0 , |ψ − ϕ|E0

which implies that (5.6.90) holds. We have the following theorem.

Global attractor and the bounds of Hausdorff, fractal dimensions for damped · · · 259

Theorem 5.6.17 The maximal attractor of (5.6.71) and (5.6.71) has finite fractal dimension and Hausdorff dimension. Proof Apply Theorem 5.6.9, and define qm as (5.6.108). Let Q be an arbitrary orthogonal projection with rank m in E0 , (ξ i )i∈N be an orthogonal basis in E0 such that span{ξ 1 , ξ 2 , · · · , ξ m } = QE0 . For a given ϕ0 in U , ϕ(t) is a solution of (5.6.71), (5.6.72). From (5.6.106), we have tr(Λε0 (ϕ) · Q) =

m X

{(Λε0 ξ i , ξ i )E0 + (Γ′ (ϕ)ξ i , ξ i )E0 }.

(5.6.125)

i=1

Denote ξ i = {ϕi , ψ i } ∈ V1 × H = E0 . Then, (Λε0 ξ i , ξ i )E0 + (Γ′ (ϕ)ξ i , ξ i )E0 = ε|ϕi |2E0 + ε0 (ε0 − α)(ϕi , ψ i ) + (α − ε0 )|ψ i |2 + (g ′ (u)ϕi , ψ i ).

(5.6.126)

Since U is bounded on E0 , ϕ(t) = {u(t), u(t) ˙ + εu(t)} ∈ U , ∀t ∈ R, by (5.6.60), there exists s ∈ [0, 1], such that sup sup |g ′ (u(t))|L (Vs ,H) ≡ β < +∞.

φ0 ∈U t⩾0

(5.6.127)

From (5.6.8), (5.6.125), (5.6.126) and (5.6.127), we deduce tr(Λε0 (ϕ) · Q) ⩾ ⩾

m β2 X i 2o ε0 i 2 (|ϕ |1 + |ψ i |2 ) − |ϕ |s . 4 ε0 i=1

(5.6.128)

Since {ξ i } are orthogonal on E0 , the first term on the right-hand side of (5.6.128) ε0 β2 equals to m, the second term becomes − tr(M · Q), where M ∈ L (E0 ), 4 ε0 M {ϕ, ψ} = {As−1 ϕ, 0}. Hence, from (5.6.128), it is deduced that tr(Λε0 (ϕ) · Q) ⩾

ε0 β2 m− tr(M · Q). 4 ε0

(5.6.129)

The trace of M · Q can be estimated by eigenvalue, the eigenvalues of M are {λs−1 }j⩾1 ∪ {0}, where 0 ⩽ λ1 ⩽ · · · ⩽ λj ⩽ · · · are the eigenvalues of A, j tr(M · Q) ⩽

(5.6.133)

From (5.6.132), we discover qm∗ > 0. Consequently, the fractal dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of U are finite. This proves the Theorem 5.6.17. 5.6.5

Application

Now, we list some examples as applications of the theory developed in § 5.6.3 and § 5.6.4. 1. Nonlinear wave equation ∂2 ∂u − ∆u + g(u) = f (x), u(x, t) + α ∂t2 ∂t

When g(u) = sin u, (5.6.134) is the sine-Gordon equation; when g(u) = |u|γ u, γ ⩾ 0(n = 1, 2), 0 ⩽ γ < 2(n = 3), (5.6.134) becomes the nonlinear wave equation in quantum mechanics.

Global attractor and the bounds of Hausdorff, fractal dimensions for damped · · · 261

Observing Theorem 5.6.7, gives that the problem (5.6.134)-(5.6.136) has a unique solution {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R+ ; H01 (Ω) × L2 (Ω)). From the results in § 5.6.3 and § 5.6.4, we know that the problem (5.6.134)-(5.6.136) has a maximal attractor U in H01 (Ω) × L2 (Ω). This means that U is a compact set, it attracts all the trajectories of the manifold of the bounded set in H01 (Ω) × L2 (Ω). Moreover, if f, g, Ω ∈ C ∞ , then ¯ × C ∞ (Ω). ¯ U ∈ C ∞ (Ω) Theorem 5.6.18 There exists a bounded set U in {H 2 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω)} × H01 (Ω), which depends on g, f, α and Ω, such that (i) U has finite fractal dimension. (ii) for any initial data {u0 , u1 } given in the bounded set of H01 (Ω) × L2 (Ω), the corresponding solution {u, u} ˙ of the initial value problem (5.6.134)-(5.6.136) converges to U in H01 (Ω) × L2 (Ω) when t → ∞. Proof The results mentioned above come from Theorem 5.6.14 and Theorem 5.6.15. We will check all the assumptions in these theorems, i.e. (5.6.53)-(5.6.60), (5.6.69) and (5.6.70). The assumption (5.6.53)-(5.6.59) has been checked in Theorem 5.6.7 and Theorem 5.6.8. For (5.6.60), let ξ ∈ D(A) = H 2 (Ω) ∩ H01 (Ω), the R differentiation of the mapping u → Ω g(u(x)) dx is the operator Z η→ g ′ (ξ)η dx. Ω

The norm of the linear operator in H = L2 (Ω) is bounded by |g ′ (ξ)|L∞ (Ω) . By (5.6.33), (5.6.60) holds for any n ⩾ 4; when n ⩽ 3, (5.6.60) can be derived from H 2 (Ω) ,→ L∞ (Ω). Now, we are going to prove (5.6.69) and (5.6.70). Since the other cases can be proved obviously, we will only consider the case when n = 3. From the classical Sobolev embedding theorem (n = 3)

which demonstrates (5.6.69). As to the proof of (5.6.70), we consider the following linear equation ξ¨ + αξ˙ + Aξ = h,

(5.6.139)

˙ ∈ where h ∈ Cb (R; V−1+δ ), 0 ⩽ δ ⩽ 1. If ξ is a solution of (5.6.139) and {ξ, ξ} Cb (R; H × V−1 ), then ˙ ∈ Cb (R; Vδ × V−1+δ ). {ξ, ξ} (5.6.140) ˙ depends the norm of h in Cb (R; V−1+δ ) only. Now, attention is The norm of {ξ, ξ} given to (5.6.70). Given f in Cb (R; H), f˙ ∈ Cb (R; H) and {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1 × H)

(5.6.141)

is the solution of (5.6.61), then we have u ¨ + αu˙ + Au = f − g(u). Let ξ = u, ˙ then ξ¨ + αξ˙ + Aξ = f˙ − g ′ (u)u. ˙

(5.6.142)

From (5.6.69) and (5.6.144), it follows that function f˙ − g ′ (u)u˙ ∈ Cb (R; V−1+σ2 ),

σ2 =

2−r . 2

(5.6.140) leads to {¨ u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; Vσ2 × V−1+σ2 ). Due to Au = f − g(u) − u ¨ − αu˙ ∈ Cb (R; V−1+σ2 ), one obtains {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1+σ2 × Vσ2 ).

(5.6.143)

and the norm of {u, u} ˙ in Cb (R; V1+σ2 × Vσ2 ) is controlled by the bounded function 3 |f |L∞ (R;H) + |f˙|L∞ (R;H) + |{u, u}| ˙ L∞ (R;E0 ) . If 1 + σ2 > (i.e. 0 ⩽ r < 1), combining 2 (5.6.138) and V1+σ2 ⊂ H 1+σ2 (Ω) infers u ∈ Cb (R; L∞ (Ω)).

(5.6.144)

Then g ′ (u) ∈ Cb (R; L∞ (Ω)), h = f˙ − g ′ (u)u˙ ∈ Cb (R; H). Hence, from (5.6.139) and (5.6.140), we obtain that {¨ u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1 × H), which implies that u ∈ Cb (R; V2 ). 3 This proves (5.6.70). If 1 + σ2 ⩽ (i.e. 1 ⩽ r < 2), the bootstrap argument will 2 1 be applied. Assume {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1+δ × Vδ ), 0 ⩽ δ < . Using (5.6.137) and 2

V1+δ ⊂ H 1+δ (Ω), it is deduced that u ∈ Cb (R; L 1−2δ (Ω)). Hence, (5.6.33) gives that 6 6 g ′ (u) ∈ Cb (R; L (1−2δ)r (Ω)). On the other hand, u˙ ∈ Cb (R; L 3−δ (Ω)), then g ′ (u)u˙ ∈ Cb (R; Vs ),

s=

δ − (1 − 2δ)r . 2

If s ⩾ 0, h = f˙ − g ′ (u)u˙ ∈ Cb (R; H), the conclusion holds obviously. If s < 0, h ∈ Cb (R; Vs ), by (5.6.140), it follows that {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1+s × Vs ), u ∈ Cb (R; V2+s ). If 3 2 + s ⩾ , (5.6.144) can be derived from (5.6.138), which infers that the conclusion 2 is true. If not, repeating the process. Now, we are going to prove that the process is terminated in finite steps. In fact, assume {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1+δn × Vδn ) after taking n-th step , next step is {u, u} ˙ ∈ Cb (R; V1+δn+1 × Vδn+1 ), where 1 + δn+1 = 2 + Sn+1 =

B1 = {x ∈ D(A 2 ), |A 2 x| ⩽ 2ρ1 }, B2 = {x ∈ D(A), |Ax| ⩽ 2ρ2 } and A is the w limit set of B2 , A = w(B2 ) =

which is a global attractor of (5.7.1), closure Cl is in H, and A ⊆ B2 ∩ B1 ∩ B0 . We consider the inertial manifold of the cutoff equation of (5.7.1). Assume θ(s) is a smooth function from R+ to [0, 1]: θ(s) = 1, 0 ⩽ s ⩽ 1; θ(s) = 0, s ⩾ 2, |θ′ (s)| ⩽ 2, s ⩾ 0. Fix ρ = 2ρ2 . Define   s , s ⩾ 0. θρ (s) = θ ρ Then the cutoff equation of (5.7.1) is du + Au + θρ (|Au|)R(u) = 0. dt

(5.7.25)

It is direct to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of (5.7.25) with initial value u(0) = u0 ∈ H. Obviously, when |Au| ⩽ ρ, θs (|Au|) = 1. (5.7.24) and

5.7

273

(5.7.1) are congruent. When |Au| ⩾ 2ρ, θρ (|Au|) = 0. Taking the inner product of A2 u for (5.7.24) infers that 3 1 d 1 d |Au|2 + λ1 |Au|2 ⩽ (Au)2 + |A 2 u|2 ⩽ 0. 2 dt 2 dt

Hence the trajectory of u(t) in D(A) converges to the ball with radius ρ3 ⩾ 2ρ exponentially. In addition, R(u) is local Lipschitz continuous with respect to u. However, F (u) = θρ (|u|)R(u) is global Lipschitz continuous. i.e. there exists a K, such that |F (u) − F (v)| ⩽ K|u − v|, ∀ u, v ∈ H. (5.7.26) Definition 5.7.2 The inertial manifold of the semigroup operator {S(t)}t⩾0 is a smooth manifold µ ∈ H (at least Lipschitz) with finite dimension, it satisfies: (i) µ is invariant. i.e., S(t)µ ⊂ µ. (5.7.27) (ii) µ attracts all the solution of (5.7.25), exponentially. i.e. there exist constants k1 > 0, k2 > 0, for u0 ∈ H, dist(S(t)u0 , µ) ⩽ k1 e−k2 t ,

∀ t ⩾ 0.

(5.7.28)

(iii) the attractor A is in µ. Now, we will construct the inertial manifold to show the existence of the inertial manifold. Assume PN is an orthogonal projection of N dimension in H, QN = I − PN . Denote P = PN , Q = QN . Assume u(t) is a solution of (5.7.25). Let p(t) = P u, q(t) = Qu. Then p(t), q(t) satisfy the following conditions on P H and QH: dp + Ap + pF (u) = 0, (5.7.29) dt dq + Aq + QF (u) = 0, dt

(5.7.30)

where F (u) = θρ (|Au|)R(u) and u = p + q. We are looking for the inertial manifold µ, which is obtained by constructing the graph of Lipschitz function Φ : P D(A) → QD(A), i.e. µ = GraphΦ. As an operator, the function Φ can be derived by the fixed point on Fb,l , where Fb,l is a class of functions Φ : P D(A) → QD(A), and it satisfies (5.7.31) |AΦ(p)| ⩽ b, ∀ p ∈ P D(A), |AΦ(p1 ) − AΦ(p2 )| ⩽ l|Ap1 − Ap2 |,

∀ p1 , p2 ∈ P D(A),

supp Φ ⊂ {p ∈ P D(A) | |Ap| ⩽ 4ρ},

where b > 0, l > 0. When p = p(t), q(t) = Φ(p(t)) satisfy (5.7.29), (5.7.30), u = p(t)+Φ(p(t)) is the solution of (5.7.25). Suppose Φ is given in Fb,l , p0 ∈ P D(A), then there exists a unique solution p = p(t; p0 , Φ) of the following equation dp + Ap + pF (p + Φ(p)) = 0, dt

p(0) = p0 .

(5.7.33)

Because σ → θρ R(σ+Φ(σ)) is Lipschitz continuous. Similar to (5.7.30), it is deduced from p = p(t; p0 , Φ), t ∈ R that dq + Aq + QF (p + Φ(p)) = 0. dt

(5.7.34)

Since QF (p+Φ(p)) is bounded: R → H, then there exists a unique bounded solution q(t) when t → ∞. This implies Z 0 q(0) = − ρτ AQ QF (p + Φ(p)) dτ, (5.7.35) −∞

where p = p(τ ) = p(τ ; Φ, p0 ). q(0) depends on Φ ∈ Fb,l and p ∈ P D(A). q(0) = q(0; p0 , Φ). The function p0 ∈ P D(A) → q(0; p0 , Φ) ∈ QD(A) is from P D(A) to QD(A), denotes as F Φ. Hence Z 0 T Φ(p0 ) = − eτ AQ QF (u) dτ,

(5.7.36)

where u = u(τ ) = p(τ ; Φ, p0 ) + Φ(p(τ ; Φ, p0 )). Since q(0) = Φ(p0 ), we are looking for the conditions that N, b, l should meet, such that (i) T maps from Fb,l to itself; (ii) T is compressible in Fb,l . Now, we consider the function Φ: P D(A) → QD(A), (P = PN , Q = QN = I − PN ). Φ ∈ Fb,l , i.e. it satisfies (5.7.31)-(5.7.33). Introduce the distance ∥Φ − Ψ∥ = sup |AΦ(p) − AΨ(p)|,

(5.7.37)

p∈D(A)

then Fb,l is a complete metric space. For Φ ∈ Fb,l , the mapping T in P D(A) is defined by Z 0 T Φ(p0 ) = − eτ AQ QF (u) dτ, p0 ∈ P D(A), (5.7.38) −∞

where u(τ ) = p(τ ; Φ, p0 )+Φ(p(τ ; Φ, p0 )), p(τ ; Φ, p0 ) is a solution of (5.7.29) satisfying p(0; Φ, p0 ) = p0 . Next, we investigate the properties of the operator T .

Then, for Φ ∈ Fb,l , similar to (5.7.31), T Φ satisfies |AT Φ(p0 )| ⩽ b,

∀p0 ∈ P D(A).

(5.7.45)

T Φ is a bounded set in D(A 4 ) since (5.7.43). Then, the compactness of A− 4 infers that the image of T Φ is a compact subset of QD(A), which is independent of Φ. Now, attention is given to the properties of the support set and continuity of T Φ. 1

Lemma 5.7.5 For any Φ ∈ Fb,l , the support set of T Φ is contained in {p ∈ P D(A); |Ap| ⩽ 4ρ}. Proof u = p + Φ(p). If |Ap| > 2ρ, then 1

|Au| = (|Ap|2 + |AΦ(p)|2 ) 2 ⩾ |Ap| > 2ρ. Thus, θρ (|Au|) = 0. Assume |Ap0 | > 4ρ, then on a certain interval of t, one has |Ap(t)| > 2ρ. Therefore, (5.7.29) becomes dp + Ap = 0, dt which implies that 3 1 d 1 d|Ap|2 |Ap|2 + λ1 |Ap|2 ⩽ + |A 2 p|2 = 0. 2 dt 2 dt

Hence, for τ < 0, 2ρ < |Ap(0)| ⩽ |Ap(τ )| exp(λ1 τ ) ⩽ |Ap(τ )|. Furthermore, θρ (|Au(τ )|) = 0, ∀τ ⩽ 0. From (5.7.38), it is deduced that T Φ(p0 ) = 0,

∀Φ ∈ Fb,l .

Firstly, the Lipschitz property of the nonlinear term F (u) is proved.

Combining with (5.7.47) gives (5.7.46). Now, we propose next to obtain that T is a Lipschitz mapping from Fb,l to Fbl under certain condition, and it is strictly contractive. Firstly, assume Φ is fixed, p01 , p02 ∈ P D(A), p = p1 (t), p = p2 (t) are the solutions of (5.7.29) satisfying the initial condition pi (0) = p0,i for i = 1, 2. Let ∆ = p1 − p2 , then ∆ satisfies the following equation d∆ + A∆ + P F (u1 ) − P F (u2 ) = 0, dt

(5.7.48)

where ui = pi + Φ(pi ), i = 1, 2. For (5.7.48), taking the inner product with A2 ∆ implies that 3 1 3 1 d |A∆|2 + |A 2 ∆|2 = −(A 2 P (F (u1 ) − F (u2 )), A 2 ∆). 2 dt

(5.7.49)

Employing (5.7.46), we can estimate 3 3 1 d |A∆|2 + |A 2 ∆|2 ⩽ K7 (1 + l)|A∆||A 2 ∆|. 2 dt

Then

3 3 d |A∆| ⩾ −|A 2 ∆|2 − K7 (1 + l)|A∆||A 2 ∆|. dt Furthermore, the fact ∆ ∈ P D(A) shows

An elementary computation infers that the right-hand side of the above expression is bounded by γ α  1 − 12 N N λN +1 e− 2 [1 + (1 − γN αN )−1 ] exp |Ap01 − Ap02 |. 2 This proves (5.7.52). Using (5.7.44), (5.7.52) and Lemma 5.7.5, it is deduced that T Φ ∈ Fb,l . So far, we have proved the mapping T : Fb,l → Fb,l . Now, we assert that T is a Lipschitz mapping. To show this fact, one considers two functions Φ1 , Φ2 with the same initial condition. Let pi = p(ti ; Φi , p0 ),

ui = pi + Φi (pi ),

i = 1, 2.

We estimate |AT Φ1 (p0 ) − AT Φ2 (p0 )|. By a similar approach, it is obtained that 1 d 2 |A∆| + λN αN |A∆| ⩾ −K7 λN ∥Φ1 − Φ2 ∥, dt

In order to have L ⩽ l, we choose a proper N such that the following two inequalities holds: l − 21 K7 (1 + l)λN +1 ⩽ , (5.7.59) 2 l − 12 (5.7.60) K7 (1 + l)λN +1 (1 − γN αN )−1 ⩽ . 2 (5.7.59) can be rewritten as 1

2 K10 ⩽ λN +1 ,

(5.7.61)

where K10 = 2K7 (1 + l)L−1 . Assume that N is chosen, such that (5.7.61) holds. The inequality (5.7.60) can be written as −1

2 K10 λN +1 ⩽ 1 − γN α N ,

(5.7.62)

which is equivalent to −1

(5.7.65)

Due to l ⩽ 18 , it is discovered that K7 (1 + l) ⩽ K10 . Thus (5.7.64) infers (5.7.63). Consequenly, (5.7.62) is obtained. Hence, in order to show that the mapping T is from Fb,l to Fb,l , we assume γN > 0 or 1 − γN αN > 0. This assumption is ensured by (5.7.62). (5.7.59), (5.7.62) are the sufficient conditions to ensure the mapping T is from Fb,l to itself, which is guaranteed by (5.7.61), (5.7.64). It is easy to see that these two inequalities are derived by the following inequality 1

2 2 K10 ⩽ λN +1 − λN .

(5.7.66)

In order to show that the mapping T on Fb,l is contractive, it is necessary to 1 have L′ < 1. Assume L′ ⩽ , then it is deduced that 2 1

2 K11 ⩽ λN +1 ,

(5.7.67)

where K11 = 2K7 (2e− 2 + L). Thus, under the conditions of (5.7.66) and (5.7.67), the mapping T is from Fb,l to it self, and it is contractive. Hence, T has a fixed point. 1

We are now going to prove M = Graph(Φ) is invariant with S(t). i.e. S(t)M ⊂ M,

∀t ⩾ 0,

(5.7.68)

and show that it attracts all the trajectories, which converge to M exponentially. Firstly, the proof of the invariance of M is given. In fact, Z Φ(p0 ) = −

(5.7.70)

For the above equation, taking derivative with respect to t, it is obvious that, (p(t), q(t)) are the solutions of (5.7.29),(5.7.30), and u(t) = p(t) + q(t) is the solution of (5.7.25), where q(t) = Φ(p(t)). This indicates that S(t)M ⊆ M , ∀t ⩾ 0. To show M attract all the solutions of (5.7.25) exponentially, we will start with the statement of the squeezing property of equation (5.7.201). Squeezing Property For every T > 0, γ > 0, r > 0, there exist K2 , K3 (it depends on T ,γ,r and constants C1 ∼ C4 , and independent of S(t) and N ), such that for any N ⩾ 1, one of the following inequalities hold: |QN (S(t)u0 − S(t)v0 )| ⩽ γ|pN (S(t)u0 − S(t)v0 )|

(5.7.71)

or |S(t)u0 − S(t)v0 | ⩽ K2 exp(−K3 αλN +1 t)|u0 − v0 |.

(5.7.72)  1 We apply the above result to any t satisfying t0 ⩽ t ⩽ 2t0 , where t0 = log 2, 2K1 K1 is a constant. When |Au0 | ⩽ r, |Av0 | ⩽ r, there holds |S(t)u0 − S(t)v0 | ⩽ exp(K1 t)|u0 − v0 |, γ=

1 , N ⩾ N0 , where N0 satisfies 8 λN0 +1 ⩾ (2K3 αt0 )−1 log(2K2 ).

Then, (5.7.71), (5.7.72) turn to be |QN (S(t)u0 − S(t)v0 )| ⩽

where u0 , v0 ∈ D(A), |Au0 | ⩽ r, |Av0 | ⩽ r, t0 ⩽ t ⩽ 2t0 . Fix r = 4ρ + b, according to (5.7.24), the trajectory of (5.7.25) falls into the ball centered at t with radius 4ρ = 8ρ2 in D(A). Assume |Au0 | ⩽ 4ρ,

|AS(t)u0 | ⩽ 4ρ,

t ⩾ 0.

We start with the following: for any t1 , t0 ⩽ t1 ⩽ 2t0 , there holds dist(S(t1 )u0 , µ) ⩽

1 dist(u0 , M ), 2

where dist(φ, M ) = inf{|φ − v| : v ∈ M }. Hence, choose v0 , such that |u0 − v0 | = dist(u0 , M ). Then v0 = P v0 + Φ(P v0 ). We require |AP v0 | ⩽ 4ρ. Otherwise, if |AP v0 | > 4ρ ⩾ |AP u0 |, then Φ(P v0 ) = 0, v0 = P v0 . In addition, there exists a β, 0 < β ⩽ 1, such that |AP vβ | = 4ρ, where vβ = βP u0 + (1 − β)v0 ∈ P D(A). This implies that Φ(vβ ) = 0. Therefore, vβ ∈ µ, and |vβ − v0 |2 =|vβ − P u0 |2 + |Qu0 |2 =|(1 − β)(v0 − P u0 )|2 + |Qu0 |2 0, such that (i) the mapping T is from Fb,l to Fb,l . (ii) T has a fixed point in Fb,l . (iii) M = Graph(Φ) is an inertial manifold of (5.7.25). (iv) M contains the global attractor of (5.7.1).

Theorem 5.7.9 Suppose equations (5.7.1), (5.7.25) are given in H, where the 1 nonlinear term F (u) = θρ (|Au|)R(u) satisfies (5.7.26). Fix l, 0 < l < . Assume 8 there is a ρ0 such that (5.7.21) holds for every solution of (5.7.1). Then there exist N0 , K12 , K13 (depends on l and the initial data), such that N ⩾ N0 ,

λN +1 ⩾ K12 ,

λN +1 − λN ⩾ K13 .

(5.7.78)

Then the conclusion in Theorem 5.7.8 holds. Proof Assume the nonlinear term F (u) = θρ (u)R(u) satisfies the global Lipschitz condition |F (u) − F (v)| ⩽ K|u − v|, ∀u, v ∈ H. Choose ρ = 2ρ0 . The space Fb,l is constructed by Φ : P H → QH, satisfying |Φ(p)| ⩽ b,

where u = u(τ ) = p(τ ; Φ, p0 ) + Φ(p(τ ; Φ, p0 )). The inequality (5.7.41) becomes |F (u)| ⩽ K4′ , where K4′ depends on R(u), θ and ρ. By Lemma 5.7.3, when α = 0, the inequality (5.7.40) holds and (5.7.42) becomes |T Φ(p0 )| ⩽ K5′ λ−1 N +1 , where K5′ = K ′ . Thus, take b = K5′ λ−1 N +1 . By Lemma 5.7.5, the norm of |Av| is converted to the norm of |v|, the inequality (5.7.46) becomes |F (u1 ) − F (u2 )| ⩽ K7′ [(1 + l)|p1 − p2 | + ∥Φ1 − Φ2 ∥],

(5.7.79)

where ∥Φ∥ = sup{|Φ(p)| : p ∈ P D(A)}. Let ∆ = p1 − p2 , then (5.7.48) holds. For (5.7.48), taking the inner product with ∆, it is deduced that 1 1 d |∆|2 + |A 2 ∆|2 = −(P (F (u1 ) − F (u2 )), ∆). 2 dt

Hence, the inequality (5.7.51) can be replaced by |∆(τ )| ⩽ |∆(0)| exp(−τ (λN + K7 (1 + l))),

The assumption for γN in Lemma 5.7.7 can be replaced by |T Φ(p01 ) − T Φ(p02 )| ⩽ L|p01 − p02 |, where L = K7′ (1 + l)Γ−1 N . Actually, Z |T Φ(p01 ) − T Φ(p02 )| ⩽

where F (u) = θρ (|Au|)R(u). uM is taken in PM D(A). Regarding to the Galerkin approximation equation (5.7.81), the following theorem holds. Theorem 5.7.10 Suppose the assumptions in Theorem 5.7.8 are true, l > 0 and N satisfy the conditions in Theorem 5.7.8. Then for any M > N , the equation

Approximate inertial manifold

In the discussion of global attractor and inertial manifold, we can see that the global attractor may not smooth, even though the inertial manifold is smooth, to pursue it one must take the integral equation on the infinity interval, which gives a lot of trouble in computation. Hence, it is nature to look for an approximate, smooth, easy computation manifold, to approach the global attractor and the inertial manifold. This is the approximate inertial manifold development, see [38, 64, 144, 173, 190, 191, 232] and references therein. Next, we will take the two-dimensional NavierStokes equations for example to explain some approximate inertial manifolds and the estimates of its deviation. Assume that the Navier-Stokes equations have the following form du + νAu + B(u, u) = f, dt

(5.8.1)

u(0) = u0 ,

(5.8.2)

where Au = −P ∆u,

∀u ∈ D(A),

B(u, w) = P [(u · ∇)w],

∀u, w ∈ D(A).

P denotes the orthogonal projection of (L2 (Ω))2 on H, H denotes the closure of V in (L2 (Ω))2 . When u|∂Ω = 0, V = {v ∈ {C0∞ (Ω)}2 , divv = 0}, where A is a linear, unbounded, self-joint operator, A−1 is compact, D(A) is dense in H. Hence, H has an orthogonal basis {wj }∞ j=1 , which are the eigenvectors of operator A, Awj = λj wj , j = 1, 2, · · · , and 0 < λ 1 ⩽ λ2 ⩽ · · · . λm satisfies C0 λ1 m ⩽ λm ⩽ C1 λ1 m,

For the solution u(t) of the problem (5.8.1), (5.8.2), it has been proved that there exists a t0 , which depends on u0 , ν, |f | and λ1 , such that |u(t)| ⩽ M0 , ∥u(t)∥ ⩽ M1 ,

∀t ⩾ t0 ,

(5.8.9)

where the constants M0 and M1 depend only on ν, |f | and λ1 . Now, we consider the approximate inertial manifold of the problem (5.8.1), (5.8.2). Assume Pm is the orthogonal projection of H on Hm = span{w1 , · · · , wm }. Qm = I − Pm . Let p = Pm u, q = Qm u, then (5.8.1) is equivalent to dp + νAp + Pm B(p + q, p + q) = Pm f, dt

dq + νAq + Qm B(p + q, p + q) = Qm f. (5.8.11) dt M is a subset of H. As the inertial manifold of system (5.8.1), it possesses the following properties: (5.8.12) (i) M is a Lipschitz manifold with finite dimension. (ii) The convention of M is positively invariant set. i.e., if u0 ∈ M, then the (5.8.13) solution of (5.8.1), (5.8.2), u(t) ∈ M, ∀ t > 0. (iii) M attracts all the trajectories exponentially, i.e., for any arbitrary solution, u(t) of the problem (5.8.1), (5.8.2), dist(u(t), µ) → 0, t → ∞ exponentially. This (5.8.14) infers the global attractor A ⊂ M. If one requires M is the graph of the Lipschitz function Φ: Hm → Qm H, then the invariant condition (5.8.13) is equivalent to that, for any solutions p(t), q(t) of (5.8.10), (5.8.11) with q(0) = Φ(p(0)), there holds q(t) = Φ(p(t)), ∀t ⩾ 0. Hence, if such a function Φ exists, then the system (5.8.1), (5.8.2) on the inertial manifold M is equivalent to the following ordinary differential system, which is called the inertial form: dp + νAp + Pm B(p + Φ(p), p + Φ(p)) = Pm f, dt

Let M s = GraphΦs , which is a C-analytic manifold, and it contains all the stationary solution of (5.8.1). Now, we are going to prove the existence of Φs and give its upper bound. Theorem 5.8.2 Assume m is sufficiently large enough, such that   r22 2 , λm+1 ⩾ max 4r2 , 4M12

Let q ∈ B ⊥ , w ∈ H, |w| = 1, then  1  h   i 1 2 A Tp (q), w ⩽ ν −1 B(p + q, p + q), A− 2 Qm w + A−1 Qm f |w| h     i 1 1 ⩽ ν −1 B(p, p + q), A− 2 Qm w + B(q, p + q), A− 2 Qm w + ν −1 λ−1 m+1 |f |.

By the contraction mapping theorem, it is derived that there exists a unique q(p) ∈ B ⊥ , such that q(p) = Tp (q). Let Φs (p) = q(p). (5.8.27) implies (5.8.26) and µs = GraphΦs is a C-analytic manifold, each trajectory u(t) = p(t) + q(t) locates in a small neighborhood of the manifold µs , the global attractor is in this neighborhood as well. Theorem 5.8.3 Assume m is sufficiently large enough, such that (5.8.25) holds, then for each solution u(t) = p(t) + q(t) of the problem (5.8.10), (5.8.11) satisfies ∥q(t) − Φs (p(t))∥ ⩽

where T∗ and K0′ are the constants in Theorem 5.8.1. Proof Let ∆(t) = q(t) − Φs (p(t)). (5.8.11) and (5.8.17) imply that νA∆ + Qm [B(∆, p + Φs (p)) + B(p + q, ∆)] +

When t > T∗ , ∥p(t)∥ ⩽ M1 . From Theorem 5.8.2, it is deduced that Φs (p(t)) ⩽ 2M1 . Substituting (5.8.22) into (5.8.30) infers −1

This proves Theorem 5.8.3. Now, consider another approximation with Φs , which could be successive approximation and explicitly solved. Then, we have the following theorem. Theorem 5.8.4 Assume m is sufficiently large enough, such that (5.8.25) holds. Similar to Theorem 5.8.2, define Tp : B ⊥ → B ⊥ , Tp (q) = (νA)−1 [Qm f − Qm B(p + q, p + q)],

Hence, attention is turned to the estimation of ∥Φs0 (p)∥. By (5.8.31), it is inferred that Φs0 (p) = Φ0 (p) = (νA)−1 [Qm f − Qm B(p, p)]. (5.8.34) Thus |AΦs0 (p)| ⩽ ν −1 |f | + ν −1 |B(p, p)|. Then, (5.8.4) implies that |AΦs0 (p)| ⩽ ν −1 |f | + ν −1 C5 ∥p∥2

Taking the inner product with ∆ in H, which get along with the identity (∗) gives ν∥∆∥2 ⩽ |(B(∆ + η, u), ∆)| + |(B(v, η), ∆)|.

Nonlinear Galerkin method

The general numerical computation on chaos, inertial manifold and global attractor etc. with t → ∞ is improper, because of the deviation in the form of c(h)eT , where c(h) is a small constant depending on h. When T → ∞, the estimate of deviation may be very large. Theoretically, one must construct the estimate of deviation and convergence of approximate solution while t → ∞. A newly numerical method, socalled nonlinear Galerkin method, come to be appeared, and it possesses enormous advantages in the long time numerical computation. Using the nonlinear Galerkin method, some results of nonlinear evolution equations can refer to [107, 108, 130, 170, 192, 193, 229] and the references therein. In this section, we will take a class of nonlinear evolution equations for example to explain this method. Suppose the nonlinear evolution equation has the following form: du = −νAu − R(u), dt

where ν > 0 is a viscosity parameter, A is a linear, unbounded, self-joint operator in Hilbert space and it is positive and closed, D(A) is dense in H. Define the power of A as As , s ∈ R, D(As ) has the norm in the form of |As · |, which is a Hilbert space. 1 1 Define V = D(A 2 ), ∥ · ∥ = |A 2 · |. Since A−1 is compact and self-adjoint, there exists an orthogonal basis {wj } of H, which is constructed by the eigenvectors of A: (5.9.3)

Awj = λj wj ,

where 0 < λ1 ⩽ λ2 ⩽ · · · , λj → ∞, j → ∞. The nonlinear term R(u) satisfies (5.9.2), where B(u) = B(u, u), B(·, ·) is a bilinear operator from V × V to V ′ . C is a linear operator from V to H, f ∈ H. Let b denote the trilinear form in V b(u, v, w) = (B(u, v), w)V ′ ,V ,

where α > 0. For (5.9.1), consider the Cauchy problem with initial data u(0) = u0 ,

∀u0 ∈ H.

(5.9.10)

One can prove that the problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10) has a unique solution u(t), t > 0, and u ∈ C (R+ ; H) ∩ L2 (0, T ; V ), ∀ T > 0.

Furthermore, if u0 ∈ V , then r ∈ C 1 (R+ ; H) ∩ L2 (0, T ; D(A)),

∀ T > 0.

Now, we are looking for the approximate solution of the problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10) in the following form m X um (t) = gjm (t)wj , j=1

um : R → wm = span{w1 , · · · , wn }. +

The function um could be solved as well as the unknown function zm , where zm (t) =

zm : R + → w ˜m = span{wm+1 , · · · , w2m }. (um , zm ) satisfies d (um , v) + ν((um , v)) + (Cum , v) + b(um , um , v) + b(zm , um , v) dt + b(um , zm , v) = (f, v), ∀ v ∈ wm , ν((zm , v˜)) + (Czm , v˜) + b(um , um , v˜) = (f, v˜),

∀ v˜ ∈ w ˜m ,

(5.9.11)

(5.9.12)

with um (0) = Pm u0 ,

(5.9.13)

where Pm is the orthogonal projection of H on wm . The system (5.9.11), (5.9.12) is equivalent to an ordinary differential equation of um . In fact, (5.9.12) is linear with respect to zm , which could be written as νAzm + (P2m − Pm )Czm = (P2m − Pm )(f − B(um )).

(5.9.14)

Due to the assumption (5.9.9), which guarantees that the operator νA+(P2m −Pm )C is coercive and invertible on w ˜m , then zm is explicitly solved zm = (νA + (P2m − Pm )C)−1 (P2m − Pm )(f − B(um )).

(5.9.15)

Hence, the system (5.9.11), (5.9.12) is equivalent to an ordinary differential equations dum + νAum + Pm (Cum + B(um ) + B(um , zm )) = Pm f, dt

Nonlinear Galerkin method

where zm is given in (5.9.15). Obviously, when zm = 0, it becomes the classical Galerkin method. The existence and uniqueness of the solution um (t) on maximum time interval [0, Tm ] to the problem (5.9.16), (5.9.13) could be obtained by the standard ordinary differential equation theory. According to the following a priori estimate, we know Tm = +∞. Therefore, we consider the convergence of the approximate solution when m → ∞. Theorem 5.9.1 Assume (5.9.4), (5.9.9) are satisfied, given u0 in H, then the solution um of the problem (5.9.16), (5.9.13) converges to the solution u of the problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10) when m → ∞, i.e. um → u converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; V ) and Lp (0, T ; H), for all T > 0, 1 ⩽ p < +∞, um → u converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (R+ ; H). (5.9.17) Proof To prove Theorem 5.9.1, we will start with the a priori estimates for the solution of (5.9.11), (5.9.12). Taking v = um in (5.9.11), v˜ = zm in (5.9.12), then adding this two identities together, which get along with (5.9.14) give rise to 1 d |um |2 + ν∥um ∥2 + (Cum , um ) + ν∥zm ∥2 + (Czm , zm ) = (f, um + zm ).

Hence, when m → +∞, the sequence um is bounded in L∞ (R+ ; H).

(5.9.22)

Back to (5.9.21). Taking integral for t on [0, T ] gives ∀ T > 0, when m → ∞, um and zm are bounded in L2 (0, T ; V ).

(5.9.23)

Now, consider the estimate of zm . Taking v˜ = zm in (5.9.12) implies ν∥zm ∥2 + (Czm , zm ) = −b(um , um , zm ) + (f, zm ). From (5.9.9) and (5.9.7), it is inferred that α∥zm ∥2 ⩽ |B(um )| · |zm | + |f | · |zm | 1

Combining these inequalities, it is derived by (5.9.24) that αλm+1 |zm |2 ⩽ C3 λm |um |2 · |zm | + |f | · |zm |, αλm+1 |zm | ⩽ C3 λm |um |2 + |f |.

(5.9.27)

From (5.9.22), we have when m → +∞, zm is bounded in L∞ (R+ ; H).

(5.9.28)

By (5.9.25) and (5.9.26), it is derived from (5.9.24) that 1

Therefore, by the esitmate of (5.9.22), (5.9.23) and (5.9.28), it is derived that B(um ), B(zm , um ) and B(um , zm ) are bounded in L2 (0, T ; V ′ ). Hence, from the differential equation (5.9.14), there holds ∀ T > 0,

dum is bounded in L2 (0, T ; V ′ ), when m → ∞. dt

(5.9.30)

Attention is turned to the convergence of the approximate solution um when m → ∞. Due to λm → +∞ when m → ∞, (5.9.29) implies ∀ T > 0, zm → 0 converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; H), when m → +∞.

(5.9.31)

Hence, from (5.9.23) and (5.9.28), there holds ∀ T > 0, zm * 0 converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ); converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (R+ , H).

(5.9.32)

Now, consider the convergence of the sequence um . The estimation of (5.9.22), (5.9.23) and (5.9.30) infers that there exists u∗ and subsequence m′ → +∞, such that um′ * u∗ converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ), ∀ T > 0; converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (R+ , H), when m′ → +∞, du∗ dum * converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ′ ), ∀ T > 0, when m′ → +∞. dt dt (5.9.33) By the classical compactness principle, (5.9.33) infers ∀ T > 0, um′ → u∗ converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; H), when m′ → +∞.

(5.9.34)

By (5.9.31)-(5.9.34), we can take the limit for (5.9.11), where the only trouble is the bilinear term. Let v ∈ wm be fixed, and m′ ⩾ m. From (5.9.4), it is known that b(um′ , um′ , v) = −b(um′ , v, um′ ). Based on (5.9.7) and the fact that b(·, v, ·) is a bilinear continuous form from V × H to R, it is derived from (5.9.33), (5.9.34) that b(um′ , v, um′ ) → b(u∗ , v, u∗ ) converges strongly in L′ (0, T ), ∀ T > 0, m′ → +∞. Hence, b(um′ , um′ , v) → b(u∗ , u∗ , v) converges strongly in L′ (0, T ), ∀ T > 0, m′ → +∞.

Similarly, there holds b(zm′ , um′ , v) → b(0, u∗ , v) = 0,

m′ → +∞,

b(um′ , zm′ , v) → b(u∗ , 0, v) = 0,

m′ → +∞,

strongly in L′ (0, T ), ∀ T > 0. Hence, we get the limit function u∗ , satisfying d ∗ (u , v) + ν((u∗ , v)) + (Cu∗ , v) + b(u∗ , u∗ , v) = (f, v), dt

(5.9.35)

for all v ∈ wm . By the continuity, it is true ∀ v ∈ V . Furthermore, (5.9.33) implies that um′ (0) * u∗ (0) converges weakly in H.

(5.9.36)

Owing to um′ (0) = Pm′ u0 , it is derived from (5.9.36) that u∗ (0) = u0 .

(5.9.37)

By (5.9.35), (5.9.36), it is known that u∗ is a solution of problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10), therefore, u∗ = u. According to (5.9.33), the sequence um converges to u. In order to finish the proof of Theorem 5.9.1, one must verify the strong convergence in (5.9.17). Hence, we introduce Xm

m→+∞

In fact, by (5.9.9), (5.9.38), it is known that um converges to u in L2 (0, T ; V ), and um (t) → u(t) converges strongly in H, ∀ t ⩾ 0.

(5.9.39)

Taking advantage of (5.9.39), (5.9.22) and Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem implies that um converges strongly to u in Lp (0, T ; H)(∀ p ∈ [1, ∞)). In addition, notice that except for the strong convergence result for um in (5.9.17), (5.9.38) infers zm → 0 converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; V ),

∀ t ⩾ 0, m → +∞.

(5.9.40)

Now, we are going to prove (5.9.38). Integrating (5.9.18) from 0 to T shows

Replacing u, u by u∗ , v in (5.9.35), the limit mentioned above is 0, i.e. (5.9.38) is obtained, which proves the theorem. In order to improve the convergence of the nonlinear Galerkin method under a strong topologic, we prove the following theorem. Theorem 5.9.2 Assume (5.9.4)-(5.9.9) are satisfied, given u0 ∈ V, the solution um of the problem (5.9.16), (5.9.13) converges to the solution of the problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10) when m → +∞ : um → u converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; D(A)) and Lp (0, T ; V ), T > 0, 1 ⩽ p < ∞, ∞

(5.9.42)

um → u converges weakly ∗ in L (R ; V ). +

Proof The detailed proof depends on the a priori estimates of um and zm . Firstly, show that um ∈ L∞ (R+ ; V ). Let v = Aum in (5.9.11), v˜ = Azm in (5.9.12). Adding the corresponding terms together implies that 1 d ∥um ∥2 + ν|Aum |2 + ν|Azm |2 2 dt = (f, A(um + zm )) − (Cum , Aum ) − (Czm , Azm ) − b(um , um , Aum ) − b(zm , um , Aum ) − b(um , zm , Aum ) − b(um , um , Azm ).

(5.9.43)

To estimate the right-hand side of (5.9.43), the following result holds: |(f, A(um + zm ))| ⩽

ν 6 (|Aum |2 + |Azm |2 ) + |f |2 . 12 ν

(5.9.44)

(5.9.53) which get along with (5.9.22), (5.9.23) and (5.9.28) gives that um is bounded in L∞ (0, T ; V ) for all T > 0. Moreover, the boundedness of ∥um ∥2 on R+ can be obtained by the following uniformly Galerkin inequality: Lemma 5.9.3 Assume that g(t), h(t) and y(t) are locally integrable, positive functions on (t0 , +∞) and satisfy dy dy ∈ L1loc ([t0 , ∞]), ⩽ gy + h, ∀ t ⩾ t0 . dt dt Z t+1 Z t+1 Z t+1 g(s) ds ⩽ a1 , h(s) ds ⩽ a2 , y(s) ds ⩽ a3 , t

where ai (i = 1, 2, 3) are positive constants, then y(t) ⩽ (a3 + a2 ) exp(a1 ),

∀ t ⩾ t0 + 1.

(5.9.55)

Back to (5.9.51), it is discovered that the assumptions in Lemma 5.9.3 hold due to the a priori estimate. Since um , zm are bounded in L∞ (R+ ; H), taking the integral of (5.9.21) with respect to t from t to t + 1 infers Z t+1 (∥um ∥2 + ∥zm ∥2 ) ds ⩽ C8′ , (5.9.56) t

where is independent of m. Therefore, in (5.9.52), ym , gm and hm satisfy (5.9.54), where a1 , a2 and a3 are independent of m. Hence, (5.9.55) yields ym (t) = ∥um (t)∥2 ⩽ C9 ,

∀ t ⩾ 1,

(5.9.57)

where C9 = C9 (ν) is independent of m. In consequence, (5.9.57) gives that when t ⩾ 1, ∥um (t)∥ is uniformly bounded, and (5.9.53) implies that ∥um (t)∥ is uniformly bounded for t ∈ [0, 1]. Hence, um (t) is uniformly bounded in L∞ (R+ ; H),

m → +∞.

(5.9.58)

Chapter 5

Taking intergal for (5.9.50) infers that ∀ T > 0, um and zm are bounded in L2 (0, T ; D(A)), m → +∞.

(5.9.59)

Next, the estimate on the sequence zm is given, hopefully one can have the similar result to (5.9.59). Taking v˜ = Azm in (5.9.12) implies that ν|Azm |2 = − (Czm , Azm ) − b(um , um , Azm ) + (f, Azm ) 1

Combining this inequality with (5.9.58) implies that zm → 0 converges strongly in L∞ (R+ ; V ), m → +∞.

(5.9.60)

dum . From (5.9.7) and (5.9.58)-(5.9.60), it is obdt tained that B(um ), B(zm , um ) and B(um , zm ) are uniformly bounded in L4 (0, T ; H) with respect to m, and Aum is uniformly bounded in L2 (0, T ; H). Hence, (5.9.16) infers that dum ∀ T > 0, is bounded in L2 (0, T ; H), m → +∞. (5.9.61) dt The convergence of (5.9.42) is based on the estimation of (5.9.58)-(5.9.61). Firstly, combining the previous convergent results (5.9.17), when m → +∞, we have Finally, we need to estimate

um * u converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; D(A)), ∀ T > 0, um * u converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (R+ ; V ), du dum * converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; H), ∀ T > 0, dt dt zm * 0 converges weakly in L2 (0, T ; D(A)), ∀ T > 0.

(5.9.62) (5.9.63) (5.9.64) (5.9.65)

These infer the weak convergence of (5.9.47). In order to have the strong convergence of (5.9.42), set Z T 1 2 (|Aum − Au|2 + |Azm |2 ) dt. Ym = ∥um (T ) − u(T )∥ + ν 2 0

It is sufficient to show that lim Ym = 0.

m→∞

In fact, the strong convergence in Lp (0, T ; V ) is based on the estimation of (5.9.58) and the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem. Integrating (5.9.43) from 0 to T shows Z T 1 1 2 ∥um (T )∥ + ν (|Aum |2 + |Azm |2 ) ds = zm + ∥u0m ∥2 , 2 2 0 Z

Secondly, taking advantage of the weak convergence of um and zm in L2 (0, T ; D(A)), their strong convergence in L2 (0, T ; V ) and the boundedness in L∞ (0, T ; V ), one has lim zm . Especially, in (5.9.66), the method to find the limits of different trilinear m→+∞

(5.9.71)

Denote the linear operator of zm on the left-hand side of (5.9.69) by D(um ). To show that the solution {um , zm } of the problem (5.9.68)-(5.9.70) exists in a small region, we must prove that D(um ) is invertible on w ˜m .

then, by the existence theorem of ordinary differential equation, system (5.9.68)(5.9.70) has the solution (um (t), zm (t)), t ∈ [0, Tm ]. On this interval, system (5.9.68), (5.9.69) is equivalent to the ordinary differential system of um dum + νAum + Pm (Cum + B(um + zm )) = Pm f, dt

When m → ∞, λm → ∞, we will show that (at least m is sufficiently large enough) Tm = +∞ in the following, i.e. the solution of (5.9.74) is defined in R+ . Furthermore, we will prove that the solution of (5.9.74) tends to the solution of (5.9.1) when m → +∞. We have the following theorem. Theorem 5.9.4 Assume (5.9.4)-(5.9.9) hold. Given u0 in V, then (i) there exists a constant k = k(u0 ), such that if m satisfies −1

then the system (5.9.74), (5.9.70) has the solution um defined on R+ ; (ii) the solution um of (5.9.74), (5.9.70) converges to the solution u of (5.9.1), (5.9.10) when m → +∞ : um → u converges strongly in L2 (0, T ; D(A)) and Lp (0, T ; V ), ∀ T > 0, 1 ⩽ p < +∞, and converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (R+ ; V ).

(5.9.76)

Proof The constant k in (5.9.75) will be determined later. Now assume (5.9.73) is true, then (5.9.68)-(5.9.70) has the solution {um , zm } on the interval (0, Tm ). We obtain some priori estimates of {um , zm } on (0, Tm ), which are similar to Theorem 5.9.1 and Theorem 5.9.2. (i) A priori estimate (I). Let v = um in (5.9.68), taking v˜ = zm in (5.9.69), adding these two identities, which get along with (5.9.4) infers 1 d |um |2 + ν∥um ∥2 + (Cum , um ) + ν∥zm ∥2 + (Czm , zm ) = (f, um + zm ).

(5.9.84) where C12 = C12 (ν) depends on ν. (5.9.84) implies that d 12 2 6C22 ∥um ∥2 ⩽ |f | + ∥zm ∥2 + C12 ∥um ∥2 dt ν ν  · 1 + ∥um ∥2 + |um |2 · ∥um ∥2 + ∥zm ∥2 + |um | · ∥zm ∥2 .

(5.9.85)

Integrating (5.9.85) from 0 to T , which get along with (5.9.78), (5.9.79) gives rise to um is uniformly bounded in L∞ (0, T ; V ) with respect to m, 0 < T < Tm . If Tm < +∞, T = Tm .

(5.9.86)

Therefore, if Tm < +∞, (5.9.85) provides the upper bound for ∥um (t)∥, 0 ⩽ t ⩽ Tm . Applying similar approach, one may get the upper bound for ∥um (t)∥ when Tm = +∞. In fact, from (5.9.77), it is derived that Z t+1 Z t+1 ∥um ∥2 ds + ∥zm ∥2 ds ⩽ C13 , ∀ t ⩾ 0, (5.9.87) t

t

where C13 is independent of m. Then, (5.9.87), (5.9.78) imply that (5.9.85) satisfies the assumption in Lemma 5.9.3 (uniformly Grönwall lemma). (5.9.55) infers ∥um (t)∥, for t ⩾ 1, which is independent of m. Since (5.9.85) gives the bound of ∥um (t)∥ for 0 ⩽ t ⩽ 1, we get um is uniformly bounded in L∞ (0, Tm ; V ) with respect to m.

(5.9.88)

Integrating (5.9.84) with respect to t from 0 to T , one has um , zm are uniformly bounded in L2 (0, T ; D(A)) with respect to m. 0 < T < Tm , if Tm < +∞, T = Tm ,

2 Owing to |Azm | ⩾ λm+1 ∥zm ∥, it is derived from (5.9.90) that

zm * 0 converges weakly ∗ in L∞ (0, Tm ; V ),

m → +∞.

(5.9.91)

(iv) Take the limit. First of all, verify the solution um of (5.9.74) for sufficiently large m defined in R+ . In fact, it is known from (5.9.88) that there exists a constant k (independent of m), such that ∥um (t)∥ ⩽ k, Hence, if m satisfies

0 ⩽ t < Tm . −1

2 α − c1 kλm+1 ⩾

α , 2

then by (5.9.72), it is deduced that (D(um )˜ v , v˜) ⩾

α ∥˜ v ∥2 , 2

t ∈ [0, Tm ), v˜ ∈ w ˜m .

Therefore, the operator D(um ) is uniformly coercive on (0, Tm ). This implies that Tm = +∞, which proves (i) in Theorem 5.9.4. Assume (5.9.75) is true, where k is given in (5.9.92), then the estimates (5.9.89), (5.9.91) hold when Tm = +∞. These estimates are similar to (5.9.58)-(5.9.60). Therefore, we can take the limit m → +∞. Then, um converges to the solution u of the problem (5.9.1), (5.9.10) in the sense of (5.9.17), (5.9.42), which proves (5.9.76). In consequence, Theorem 5.9.4 has been demonstrated. Now, consider some numerical computational formats approximated by some nonlinear evolution equations. For discrete space, there are spectral method, pseudospectral method, finite element method and finite difference method. There are two formats with discrete-time: partial or full display. Assume Vh denotes the vector space with finite dimension, which has two kinds of dot products and their norms: ((·, ·))h , ∥·∥h ; (·, ·)h , |·|h . Vh is an approximation to the classical Sobolev space, ∥·∥h denotes discrete Sobolev norm, |·|h is discrete L2 norm,

Vh ∈ {Vl }, l ∈ H , when h tends to 0, {Vl } approximates to infinite-dimensional space V . Suppose Ci are absolutely positive constants, which are independent of h, Si = Si (h) are constants depends on h, in general, when h → 0, it tends to 0. Assume |uh |h ⩽ C1 ∥uh ∥h , S1 (h)∥uh ∥h ⩽ |uh |h , ∀ uh ∈ Vh . (5.9.93) The bilinear continuous form ah (·, ·) in Vh satisfies |ah (uh , vh )| ⩽ C2 ∥uh ∥h ∥vh ∥h ,

∀ uh , vh ∈ Vh .

(5.9.94)

The trilinear continuous form bh (·, ·, ·) in Vh satisfies bh (uh , vh , vh ) = 0, 1

∀ uh , vh ∈ Vh . 1

|bh (uh , vh , wh )| ⩽ C3 |uh |h2 ∥uh ∥h2 ∥vh ∥h |wh |h2 ∥wh ∥h2 .

(5.9.96)

The bilinear continuous form dh (·, ·) in Vh satisfies |dh (uh , vh )| ⩽ C4 ∥uh ∥h · |vh |h ,

∀ uh , vh ∈ Vh ,

ah (uh , uh ) + dh (uh , uh ) ⩾ C5 ∥uh ∥2 ,

∀ uh ∈ Vh ,

(5.9.97) (5.9.98)

Now, consider the following initial value problem: Looking for function uh : R+ → Vh , such that d (uh , vh )h + ah (uh , vh ) + bh (uh , uh , vh ) + dh (uh , vh ) = (fh , vh ), dt uh (0) = u0h ,

∀ vh ∈ Vh , (5.9.99) (5.9.100)

where u0h is given in Vh , fh ∈ L∞ (R+ ; Vh ). Because of Vh has finite dimension, it is deduced from (5.9.94)-(5.9.98) that the initial value problem (5.9.99)-(5.9.100) has a unique solution uh uh ∈ L∞ (R+ ; Vh ) (5.9.101) and uh is uniformly bounded with respect to h. There are many equations with physical backgrounds can be converted into the form of (5.9.99). Conditions (5.9.94)-(5.9.98) are satisfied. Assume Vh = Vh2 ⊕ Wh ,

(5.9.102)

where Vh2 ⊂ Vh = Vh1 , the elements of Vh2 are yh , y˜h , · · · , and the elements of Wh are zh , zˆh , · · · . For any uh ∈ Vh , it can be uniquely expressed as uh = yh + z h ,

yh ∈ Vh2 , zh ∈ Wh .

(5.9.103)

Now, consider the following assumption for the decomposition (5.9.102). |((yh , zh ))| ⩽ (1 − δ)∥yh ∥h ∥zh ∥h ,

∀ yh ∈ Vh2 ,

∀ zh ∈ Wh ,

(5.9.104)

where δ ∈ (0, 1), which is independent of h; and assume that |zh |h ⩽ S2 (h)∥zh ∥h ,

∀ zh ∈ W h ,

(5.9.105)

where S2 (h) → 0, when h → 0. Now, give three crucial cases for the decomposition form of (5.9.102). (i) Discrete spectral: Vh is a subspace of the Hilbert space V , its inner product is ((·, ·)), norm is ∥ · ∥, ah (uh , vh ) is a bilinear, continuous, symmetric coercive form on V restricted on Vh , V is continuously embedded and dense in another Hilbert space H, its inner product is (·, ·), and norm is | · |, then ∥uh ∥h = ∥uh ∥,

|uh |h = |uh |,

∀ uh ∈ Vh .

The unbounded, self-adjoint operator A, connecting with a, V, H, has an orthogonal basis in H and V wj , j ∈ N , D(A) ⊂ V . Awj = λj wj ,

0 < λ1 ⩽ λ2 ⩽ · · · ,

λj → ∞, j → ∞.

(5.9.106)

1 , Vh = span{w1 , · · · , wm1 }, (5.9.100) can be regarded m1 as a Galerkin approximation of infinite-dimensional problem in V . Consider the decomposition of (5.9.102). Assume there is another integer m2 ∈ N, m2 < m1 . Denote Given m = m1 ∈ N , h =

Vh2 = span{w1 , · · · , wm2 },

Wh = span{wm2 +1 , · · · , wm1 }.

Vh2 and Wh are orthogonal in Vh (dot product ((·, ·))h = ((·, ·))), (5.9.104) satisfies δ = 1. As to (5.9.105), for all zh ∈ Wh ,

zh =

ξj wj ,

j=m2 +1

there holds |zh |2h = ∥

|ξj |2 λj ⩾ λm2 +1

|ξj |2 = λm2 +1 |zh |2h .

j=m2 +1

Hence, S2 = (λm2 +1 )− 2 . 1

(5.9.107)

When it is a continuous problem, a and V are connected with an elliptical boundary value problem, with boundary condition in space, (5.9.99) is the continuous problem for the spectral or pseudospectral approximation.

(ii) Finite element. We only consider the simplest case: piecewise linear element in one dimensional. The space Vh is a subspace of V = H01 (Ω), Ω = (0, L), L > 0. Introduce the inner product Z L duh dvh ((uh , vh ))h = ((uh , vh )) = dx. dx dx 0 Dot product (·, ·)h in L2 (0, L), Z (uh , vh )h = (uh , vh ) =

1 1 , h2 = , N ∈ N, then Vh is a real, continuous function space 2N N on (0, L), it equals to 0 at 0 and L, and it is linear on the interval (jh, (j + 1)h], (j = 0, 1, · · · , 2N − 1). Define Vh = V2h with the same approach, but V2h is linear on the interval [2jh, 2(j + 1)h], j = 0, 1, · · · , N − 1. The base node of Vh is constructed by the functions wj,h of Vh . Denote h1 = h =

wj,h (jh) = 1;

i, j = 1, · · · , 2N − 1, i ̸= j.

wj,h (ih) = 0,

Similarly, the base node of V2h is grouped by the functions wj,2h of V2h , wj,2h (2jh) = 1; i, j = 1, · · · , N − 1, i ̸= j.

w2j,h (2ih) = 0,

The basis of Vh is combined by the basis of V2h and the basis of Wh : Wj,h , j = 2i+1, i = 0, 1, · · · , N − 1. i.e. uh ∈ Vh could be expanded as follows uh =

where u ¯h ((2i + 1)h) is the increment of uh , 1 u ¯h ((2i + 1)h) = uh ((2i + 1)h) − (uh (2ih) + uh (2i + 2)h). 2

(5.9.110)

Notice that the summation of the first part in (5.9.109) is corresponding to yh ∈ Vh2 ⊂ Vh , the summation of the second part is corresponding to zh ∈ Wh , if uh (jh) = u(jh), j = 0, 1, · · · , 2N , then u ¯h ((2i + 1)h) =

h2 ′′ u ((2i + 1)h) + o(h3 ), 2

5.9

yh and uh have the same order, but zh has a factor h2 . It is easy to verify that for any function yh ∈ Vh2 , it is orthogonal to any function zh ∈ Wh in V , hence, (5.9.104) holds, δ = 1. (5.9.105) is satisfied easily, we have √ S2 (h) = h/ 3.

(5.9.111)

(5.9.93) can be verified by a general method. For example, for S1 (h), denote ξi = uh (ih), Z L 2N −1 1 X duh 2 (ξi+1 − ξi )2 . dx = dx 2 i=0 0 Similarly,

Let h2 = 2h, define Vh2 = V2h similarly, its basis is constructed by Wj,2h (j = 1, · · · , N −2), V2h ⊂ Vh . In the decomposition (5.9.102), define Wh = span{W2i+1,h },

(5.9.113) (5.9.114)

Obviously, if uh is the restriction of the smooth function u ∈ H01 (0, L) on Vh , then yh and uh has the same order, zh has a factor of h. One can demonstrate (5.9.104) and (5.9.105) by the following lemma. Lemma 5.9.5 The following Cauchy-Schwarz inequality holds r 2 ∥yh ∥h ∥zh ∥h , ∀ y ∈ V2h , ∀ zh ∈ Wh . (5.9.115) |((yh , zh ))h | ⩽ 3 Proof We must prove r  Z L−h Z L−h  12  21  Z L−h 2 |∇h zh |2 dx . ∇h yh ∇h zh dx ⩽ |∇h yh |2 dx · 3 0 0 0 (5.9.116) It is sufficient to show that (5.9.116) is true on each coarse-mesh interval (2jh, 2(j + 1)h), j = 1, 2, · · · , N − 3, instead of (0, L). Take ( m1 , x ∈ [2jh, 2(j + 1)h); yh = m2 , x ∈ [2(j + 1)h, (2j + 3)h),   0, x ∈ [2jh, (2j + 1)h);    P , x ∈ [(2j + 1)h, 2(j + 1)h); 1 zh =  0, x ∈ [2(j + 1)h, (2j + 3)h);    P2 , x ∈ [(2j + 3)h, 2(j + 2)h).

Now, consider the intervals with end points j = 0, j = N − 2, N − 1. The difference is that for j = 0, m1 = 0. Thus, (5.9.117) still holds. Next, consider the intervals [L − 4h, L − 2h) and (L − 2h, L − h). On [L − 2h, L − h], zh is not equal to 0 (for example zh = P2 ), however on [L − h, L), zh = 0. Hence Z

∀ zh ∈ Wh , S2 (h) = h.

(5.9.118)

Similarly, it is known that the integral on right-hand side of (5.9.119) equals to 2P12 /h, j = 0, 1, · · · , N − 3; and the left-side integral equals to P12 h. Hence, for the √ S2 (h) = h/ 2 in (5.9.119), the integral of zh2 on [L − 4h, L) equals to h(P12 + P22 ), 1 however, the integral of |∇h zh |2 equals to ((P2 − P1 )2 + P12 + P22 ), we obtain the h inequality (5.9.119), S2 (h) = h, which implies (5.9.118) holds. The proof of (5.9.93) is standard. Now, attention is given to the second inequality 2N P−2 of (5.9.93). Let ξj = uh (jh), uh = ξj Wj,h , and j=1

|uh |2h = h

∥uh ∥2h

since ξ0 = ξ2N −1 = 0. Hence, (5.9.120)

S1 (h) = h/2. Lemma 5.9.7 There holds the following identities |yh |h = |yh |2h ,

∥yh ∥2h = 2∥yh ∥22h ,

∀ yh ∈ V2h = Vh2 .

(5.9.121)

Proof It is obviously that the first identity in (5.9.121) holds due to | · |h and | · |2h are L2 norm. To show the second identity in (5.9.121), similar to Lemma 5.9.5, since ∇2h yh = (m2 − m1 )/2h, [2jh, 2(j + 1)h), and ( ∇ h yh = then

(5.9.121) is obtained by taking the summation of j = 0, 1, · · · , N − 2. Remark 5.9.8 The space V2h plays the same role as Vh , then the assumptions similar to (5.9.93)-(5.9.98) are true. Especially, the second assumption in (5.9.93) turns to be S1 (2h)∥yh ∥2h ⩽ |yh |2h , ∀ yh ∈ Vh2 = V2h . (5.9.122)

5.9

Nonlinear Galerkin method

321

Combining with (5.9.120), (5.9.121), the inequality (5.9.122) becomes S¯1 (h)∥yh ∥h ⩽ |yh |h ,

∀ yh2 ∈ Vh = V2h .

¯ S(h) = S1 (2h)/2.

(5.9.123)

For other forms of discretization (spectral and finite element), ∥yh ∥h2 = ∥yh ∥h , |yh |h2 = |yh |h , ∀yh ∈ Vh . Thus, (5.9.123) still holds, but S¯1 (h) = S(h2 ). Now, consider the discretization of time. Format I The initial value u0h in (5.9.101) can be decomposed as yh0 ∈ Vh2 , zh0 ∈ Wh .

u0h = yh0 + zh0 ,

We are sure that yhn ∈ Vh2 , zhn ∈ Wh are cyclic sequences as follows: Suppose yhn , zhn are given. Define yhn+1 ∈ V2h and zhn+1 ∈ Wh in the following: 1 n+1 (y − yhn , yˆh )h + ah (yhn+1 + zhn+1 , yˆh ) k h + dh (yhn+1 + zhn+1 , yˆh ) + bh (yhn , yhn , yˆh ) + bh (yhn , zhn , yˆh ) + bh (zhn , yhn , yˆh ) = (fhn , yhn )h ,

∀ yˆh ∈ Vh2 ,

(5.9.124)

1 n+1 (z − zhn , zˆh )h + ah (yhn+1 + zhn , zˆh ) k h + dh (yhn+1 + zhn+1 , zˆh ) + bh (yhn , yhn , zˆh ) = (fhn , zˆhn )h ,

If f is smooth, then take fhn = fh (nk), (5.9.124)-(5.9.125) is a linear system of yhn+1 , zhn+1 . By (5.9.98) and Lax-Milgram theorem, it is deduced that yhn+1 , zhn+1 exist uniquely. Format I′ A little different with Format I. Consider b as an implicit function of z in (5.9.124), then (5.9.124) is replaced by 1 n+1 (y − yhn , yˆh )h + ah (yhn+1 + zhn+1 , yˆh ) + dh (yhn+1 + zhn+1 , yˆh ) k h + bh (yhn , yhn , yˆh ) + bh (yhn , zhn+1 , yˆh ) + bh (zhn+1 , yhn , yˆh ) = (fhn , yˆh )h ,

Format II Assume yhn and zhn are given, define yhn+1 and zhn+1 as follows 1 n+1 (y − yhn , yˆh )h + ah (yhn + zhn+1 , yˆh ) + dh (yhn + zhn+1 , yˆh ) k h + bh (yhn , yhn , yˆh ) + bh (yhn , zhn+1 , yˆh ) + bh (zhn+1 , yhn , yˆh ) = (fhn , yˆh )h ,

Actually, one can solve (5.9.129), then find yhn+1 from (5.9.127). Format III This format is different with format II, which neglects zhn+1 − zhn . For the computation of zhn+1 , it can be determined by solving the following equation ah (yhn + zhn+1 , zˆh ) + dh (yhn + zhn+1 , zˆh ) + bh (yhn , yhn , zˆh ) = (fhn , zˆh ),

∀ zˆh ∈ Wh , (5.9.130)

The solvability of zhn+1 in (5.9.130) can be obtained by (5.9.98) and Lax-Milgram theorem. Now, two examples are given. Example 5.9.1 (Burgers equation) Assume Ω = (0, L), L > 0. Let V = = L2 (0, L). For v > 0, f is given, the equation is

Inertial set

In this section, we introduce some basic results on inertial set (refer to P. W. Bates and S. Zheng [15], A. Eden, C. Foias, B. Nicolaenko and R. Temam [46]). Assume X is a compact, connected, subset of H, S is a Lipschitz continuous map from X to itself. Assume the Lipschitz constant for S on X is LipX (S) = L.

(5.10.1)

If S is restricted to X, then it has a global attractor A . It is compact and connected, which is given by the following form A =

∞ \

S n X.

(5.10.2)

n=1

As is known to all, A attracts all trajectories, when h → ∞, the symmetric Hausdorff distance ρ(S n X, A ) → 0. However, the convergence rate of the attractor is not exponentially controlled in any case. A simple exmaple: suppose H = R, define S : [0, 1] → [0, 1], 1 Sx = , 1+x then A = {0}. The convergence rate of A is a polynomial. To remedy this, we introduce the concept of inertial set.

Chapter 5

Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems

Definition 5.10.1 A compact set M is called the inertial set of (S, X), if A ⊆ M ⊆ X and (i) SM ⊆ M ; (ii) M has finite fractal dimension dM ; (iii) There exist positive constants C0 and C1 , such that h(S n X, M ) ⩽ C0 exp(−C1 n),

∀n ⩾ 1.

The distance applied here is a standard asymmetric quasi-distance of two sets h(A, B) = max min |a − b|H , a∈A b∈B

where A, B are two compact sets. At all cases, the standard Hausdorff metric is defined as ρ(A, B) = max{h(A, B), h(B, A)}. Now, consider the inertial set of the first order dissipative evolution equation. Suppose the equation has the following form du + Au + R(u) = 0, dt

(5.10.3)

u(0) = u0 .

(5.10.4)

With proper assumption for the operator A, R(u) and initial value u0 , one can not only ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solution, but also have the existence of the compact absorbing set B via the dissipation of the problem. In order to obtain the inertial set, the squeezing property of S is essential. 5.10.2 S possesses the squeezing property in X, if for all δ ∈  Definition  1 0, , there exists an orthogonal projection with rank N0 (δ), such that for any u 4 and v, |Su − Sv|H ⩽ δ|u − v|H , (5.10.5) or |(I − P )(Su − Sv)|H ⩽ |P (Su − Sv)|H .

(5.10.6)

Another expression for the squeezing property: if for u, v ∈ X, |Su − Sv|H >

√ 2|PN0 (Su − Sv)|H ,

(5.10.7)

then |Su − Sv|H < δ|u − v|H ,

where α(X) = log k0 / log(1 + θ), A is an attractor. Now, given the solution operator S(t) mapping u0 to u(t) and compact, absorbing set B. We obtain the mapping S(t) (where t = t∗ ) from B to itself. Denote the mapping as S∗ = S(t∗ ). (5.10.12) 1 Taking t∗ sufficiently small, such that S∗ possesses squeezing property, where δ < , 8 N0 = N0 (δ). By Theorem 5.10.4, there exists an inertial set M∗ , define [ M= S(t)M∗ .

If the mapping F : [0, T ] × M∗ → M : F (t, x) = S(t)x

To explain this fact more in detail, the definition of inertial set is given again. Definition 5.10.5 For a compact set M, if A ⊆ M ⊆ X, and (i) S(t)M ⊆ M, ∀t ⩾ 0; (ii) M has finite fractal dimension dM ; (iii) there exist positive constants a0 and a1 , such that for all t ⩾ 0, dist(S(t)X, M ) ⩽ a0 exp(−a1 t), then the compact set M is an inertial set of ({S(t)}t⩾0 , X).

For the initial value problem (5.10.3), (5.10.4), assume H is a separable Hilbert space, and A is a positive, self-adjoint, linear operator, D(A) ⊂ H, possessing compact inverse A−1 . Furthermore, suppose that the initial value problem (5.10.3), (5.10.4) is solvable by the semigroup of nonlinear operator {S(t)}t⩾0 . Assume S(t) : H → D(A) is continuous,

t > 0.

V = D(A 2 ). Obviously, V is compact embedded in H. For simplicity, let 1

∥u∥ = ∥u∥V = |A 2 u|H ,

|u| = |u|H .

For equation (5.10.3), suppose that R : D(A) → H is continuous.  1i There exists a compact, invariant set X ⊂ B, and real number β ∈ 0, , such that 2 for any u, v ∈ X, one has |R(u) − R(v)| ⩽ C0 |Aβ (u − v)|,

(5.10.15)

where C0 depends on X. Proposition 5.10.6 With the above assumption for equation (5.10.3), there exists time t∗ , such that the discrete operator S∗ = S(t∗ ) satisfies squeezing property, 1 where δ < . 8 Proof First of all, we introduce the projection. Since A is a self-adjoint, positive operator, and possessing compact inverse operator A−1 , then there exists the ∞ complete set {wn }n=1 of eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalues {λn }∞ n=1 in H, i.e. , Awn = λwn , ∀n ∈ N, and the eigenvalues satisfy 0 < λ1 ⩽ λ2 ⩽ · · · ⩽ λn ⩽ · · · ⩽ λn→+∞ .

Pn is the orthogonal projection of H on Hn . Hence, Qn = I − Pn is the orthogonal projection of H on the complement of Hn . Assume t∗ is given, now it is going to show the squeezing property, i.e. for any δ > 0, there exists N0 = N0 (δ), such that for u, v ∈ X, by |QN0 (S∗ u − S∗ v)| > |PN0 (S∗ u − S∗ v)|, which derives that |S∗ u − S∗ v| < δ|u − v|.

(5.10.16)

Let W∗ = S∗ u − S∗ v. Consider λ∗ =

∥W∗ ∥2 . |W∗ |2

With the selection of orthogonal projections PN0 and QN0 , it is known that under H and V , PN0 W∗ and QN0 W∗ are orthogonal. Hence λ∗ =

Because of ∥QN0 W∗ ∥2 = (AQN0 W∗ , QN0 W∗ ) ⩾ λN0 +1 |QN0 · W∗ |2 , it is derived that λ∗ >

Proposition 5.10.10 For the Kummoto-Skaskinsky equation (5.10.43), there exists an inertial set M0 of the absorbing set B, its fractal dimension can be estimated as follows dF (M0 ) ⩽ C7 L2 , (5.10.71) where C7 depends only on the absolute constants C0 and C1 determined by (5.10.46). Furthermore, there exist positive constants C6 and C9 , such that for all t ⩾ 0, there holds 4 distL2 (S(t)B, M0 ) ⩽ C9 e−C6 L t . (5.10.72) Proof Denote t∗ = L−4 .

u(·, t) is defined on [0, L], the cycle is L; the parameters α and δ are positive, and α < 1, L > 1. Firstly, prove the existence of the absorbing set B = {u ∈ L2 [0, L], |u′ |L2 ⩽ ρ1 , |u′′ |L2 ⩽ ρ2 }, where ρ1 = δ − 2 L 2 , 1

Consider the following Hilbert space V = {u ∈ H 1 (0, L) : u is a L cycle}.

H = L2 [0, L],

By the local existence theorem, it is known that (5.10.77) has a solution with initial value u0 ∈ V , t ∈ [0, t0 ), t0 > 0. Lemma 5.10.11 Assume u is a solution of (5.10.77) on V × [0, t0 ), then for t ∈ [0, t0 ), |u′ (t)|L2 ⩾ ρ1 , it is derived that d ′ |u (t)|L2 < 0. dt

(5.10.79)

Proof Let v = u′ , then v satisfies vt + v ′′′′ + 2v ′′ + 2vv ′ − 8(v 3 )′′ + αv = 0. Therefore, 1 d 2 |v| 2 + |v ′′ |2L2 + 3δ(v 2 , (v ′ )2 )L2 + α|v|2L2 = 2|v ′ |2L2 . 2 dt L

By the above lemma, it is known that set B0 = {u ∈ H : |u′ |L2 ⩽ ρ1 } is the absorbing set of the solution operator {S(t)}t⩾0 , t < t0 . This infers the existence of global solution. Next, we consider the absorbing set on H 2 (0, L). Lemma 5.10.12 Let B = {u ∈ H | |u′ |L2 ⩽ ρ1 , |u′′ |L2 ⩽ ρ2 },

(5.10.86)

where ρ1 and ρ2 are determined by (5.10.78), then B is the absorbing set of equation (5.10.77) on H. Proof Similar to Lemma 5.10.7, consider v = u′ and w = v ′ = u′′ satisfying the equation. Firstly, by (5.10.80), there holds 1 d 2 |v| + |v ′′ |2 + 3δ|vv ′ |2 + α|v|2 = 2|v ′ |2 ⩽ 2|v||v ′′ |. 2 dt For the above inequality, integrating with respect to t from t0 to t, and taking advantage of |v| ⩽ ρ1 , then yields Z t  |v ′′ (s)|2 + 3δ|vv ′ (s)|2 + α|v(s)|2 ds t0

Therefore, Z

Rt (5.10.88) infers t0 |w|4 ds ⩽ 5ρ41 . Thus, |w(t)|2 is bounded for t ⩾ t0 by the uniformly Grönwall lemma. The purpose is to find the explicit form of the bound for |w(t)|2 . Consider the function V (v) =

1 1 ′2 |v | − |v|2 + δ|v 2 |2 , 2 4

then, the rate of change along the trajectory {v(t)}t⩾0 is  d dv  V (v(t)) = V˙ (t) = − v ′′ − 2v + δv 3 , dt dt   ′′ 3 ′′ = − v − 2v + δv , (−v − 2v + δv 3 )′′ − 2vv ′ − αv = − |(v ′′ + 2v − δv 3 )′ |2 + 2(v ′′ , vv ′ ) − α|v ′ |2 + 2α|v|2 − δα|v 2 |2 αδ 2 2 |v | + 2(v ′′ , vv ′ ) 2 ⩽ − 2αV + 2(v ′′ , vv ′ ) |v ′′ |2 √ ⩽ − 2αV + √ + 6δ|vv ′ |2 6δ √ 1 ⩽ − 2αV + √ (|v ′′ |2 + 6δ|vv ′ |2 ), 6δ ⩽ − 2αV −

Now, back to the original equation (5.10.87), we have Au = u′′′′ ,

R(u) = −2u′′ − 3δ(u′ )2 u′′ + (u′ )2 + αu.

The absorbing set is B = {u ∈ H : |u′ | ⩽ ρ1 , |u′′ | ⩽ ρ2 }. Firstly, consider the equation of the difference of two solution. Let w = u1 − u2 , where u1 , u2 are two solutions of (5.10.87), such that w satisfies wt + w′′′′ + 2w′′ − 3δ[(u′1 )2 u′′1 − (u′2 )2 u′′2 ] + [(u′1 )2 − (u′2 )2 ] + αw = 0.
