The objective is to prove the asynchronous exponential growth of the growth-fragmentation equation in large weighted $L^1$ spaces and under general assumptions on the coefficients. The key argument is the creation of moments for the solutions to the Cauchy problem, resulting from the unboundedness of the total fragmentation rate. It allows us to prove the quasi-compactness of the associated (rescaled) semigroup, which in turn provides the exponential convergence toward the projector on the Perron eigenfunction.
We show that solutions to Smoluchowskis equation with a constant coagulation kernel and an initial datum with some regularity and exponentially decaying tail converge exponentially fast to a self-similar profile. This convergence holds in a weighted Sobolev norm which implies the L^2 convergence of derivatives up to a certain order k depending on the regularity of the initial condition. We prove these results through the study of the linearized coagulation equation in self-similar variables, for which we show a spectral gap in a scale of weighted Sobolev spaces. We also take advantage of the fact that the Laplace or Fourier transforms of this equation can be explicitly solved in this case.
We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for ballistic annihilation in dimension d 2. Such model describes a system of ballistic hard spheres that, at the moment of interaction, either annihilate with probability $alpha$ $in$ (0, 1) or collide elastically with probability 1 -- $alpha$. Such equation is highly dissipative in the sense that all observables, hence solutions, vanish as time progresses. Following a contribution , by two of the authors, considering well posedness of the steady self-similar profile in the regime of small annihilation rate $alpha$ $ll$ 1, we prove here that such self-similar profile is the intermediate asymptotic attractor to the annihilation dynamics with explicit universal algebraic rate. This settles the issue about universality of the annihilation rate for this model brought in the applied literature.
We are interested in the large time behavior of the solutions to the growth-fragmentation equation. We work in the space of integrable functions weighted with the principal dual eigenfunction of the growth-fragmentation operator. This space is the largest one in which we can expect convergence to the steady size distribution. Although this convergence is known to occur under fairly general conditions on the coefficients of the equation, we prove that it does not happen uniformly with respect to the initial data when the fragmentation rate in bounded. First we get the result for fragmentation kernels which do not form arbitrarily small fragments by taking advantage of the Dyson-Phillips series. Then we extend it to general kernels by using the notion of quasi-compactness and the fact that it is a topological invariant.
We consider the modified phase-field crystal (MPFC) equation that has recently been proposed by P. Stefanovic et al. This is a variant of the phase-field crystal (PFC) equation, introduced by K.-R. Elder et al., which is characterized by the presence of an inertial term $betaphi_{tt}$. Here $phi$ is the phase function standing for the number density of atoms and $betageq 0$ is a relaxation time. The associated dynamical system for the MPFC equation with respect to the parameter $beta$ is analyzed. More precisely, we establish the existence of a family of exponential attractors $mathcal{M}_beta$ that are Holder continuous with respect to $beta$.
