Linear non-divergence parabolic equations in non-cylindrical space-time sets

We study linear parabolic equations of the second order in non-divergence form in a general set which is non-cylindrical with respect to the spatial and time variables. The restriction of the set on any bounded time interval is bounded, but the spatial diameter of each fixed-time cross section can be unbounded as time tends to infinity. For homogeneous problems, we obtain exponential, power and other intermediate decaying rates for the solutions in different scenarios. For inhomogeneous problems, we obtain all-time and asymptotic, as time tend to infinity, estimates for the solutions in terms of the data on the parabolic boundary and forcing functions. The analysis requires subtle properties of general space-time sets and an iteration scheme to bootstrap the Growth Lemma. The time steps for such an iteration need not be constant and are adapted to the growth of the diameter.

An intrinsic expansion approach to the Galerkin approximations for the Navier-Stokes equations (with an appendix by Chengzhang Fu)

We study the Galerkin approximation of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, we examine the convergence of these solutions in a sequence of finite dimensional spaces as the dimension goes to infinity. For any sequence of steady state or, respectively, time dependent Galerkin solutions that converges to a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, we obtain a subsequence with an intrinsic asymptotic expansion in appropriate nested function spaces. Consequently, an induced asymptotic expansion is obtained in a more standard spatial Sobolev or, respectively, spatiotemporal Sobolev-Lebesgue space. In the case of steady states, we establish certain relations among leading terms of this expansion.

On compressible fluid flows of Forchheimer-type in rotating heterogeneous porous media

We study the dynamics of compressible fluids in rotating heterogeneous porous media. The fluid flow is of {F}orchheimer-type and is subject to a mixed mass and volumetric flux boundary condition. The governing equations are reduced to a nonlinear partial differential equation for the pseudo-pressure. This parabolic-typed equation can be degenerate and/or singular in the spatial variables, the unknown and its gradient. We establish the $L^\alpha$-estimate for the solutions, for any positive number $\alpha$, in terms of the initial and boundary data and the angular speed of rotation. It requires new elliptic and parabolic Sobolev inequalities and trace theorem with multiple weights that are suitable to the nonlinear structure of the equation. The $L^\infty$-estimate is then obtained without imposing any conditions on the $L^\infty$-norms of the weights and the initial and boundary data.

Linear non-divergence elliptic equations in a bounded, infinitely winding planar domain

We study the second order elliptic equations of non-divergence form in a planar domain with complicated geometry. In this case the domain winds around a fixed circle infinitely many times and converges to it when the rotating angle goes to infinity. For the homogeneous equation and the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case of bounded drifts, we prove that the maximum of the solution on the cross-section corresponding to a given rotating angle either grows or decays exponentially as the angle goes to infinity. Results for the oscillation and its asymptotic estimates are also obtained for inhomogeneous Dirichlet data. If the drift is unbounded but does not grow to infinity too fast, then the above maximum also goes to either zero or infinity. For the inhomogeneous equation, we obtain the estimates in the case of bounded forcing functions. Moreover, we establish the uniqueness of the solution and its continuous dependence on the boundary data and the forcing function.

Asymptotic estimates for solutions of inhomogeneous non-divergence diffusion equations with drifts

We study the long-time dynamics of the nonlinear processes modeled by diffusion-transport partial differential equations in non-divergence form with drifts. The solutions are subject to some inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Starting with the reduced linear problem, we obtain the asymptotic estimates for the solutions, as time $t\to\infty$, depending on the asymptotic behavior of the forcing term and boundary data. These are established in both cases when the drifts are uniformly bounded, and unbounded as $t\to\infty$. For the nonlinear problem, we prove the convergence of the solutions under suitable conditions that balance the growth of the nonlinear term with the decay of the data. To take advantage of the diffusion in the non-divergence form, we prove an inhomogeneous version of the Landis-typed Growth Lemma and apply it to successive time-intervals. At each time step, the center for the barrier function is selected carefully to optimize the contracting factor. Our rigorous results show the robustness of the model.

A priori estimates for gaseous flows of Forchheimer-type in heterogeneous porous media

We study isentropic fluid flows of gases of the Forchheimer-type in heterogeneous porous media. The governing equation is a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation with coefficients depending on the spatial variables. Its solutions are subject to a nonlinear Robin boundary condition. We establish the estimates of the solutions for short time in terms of the initial and boundary data. For the proof, the multi-weight versions of the Sobolev inequality, parabolic Sobolev inequality and trace theorem are derived. They are then used to implement the Moser iteration for suitable weighted norms.

A class of anisotropic diffusion-transport equations in non-divergence form

We generalize Einstein's probabilistic method for the Brownian motion to study compressible fluids in porous media. The multi-dimensional case is considered with general probability distribution functions. By relating the expected displacement per unit time with the velocity of the fluid, we derive an anisotropic diffusion equation in non-divergence form that contains a transport term. Under the Darcy law assumption, a corresponding nonlinear partial differential equations for the density function is obtained. The classical solutions of this equation are studied, and the maximum and strong maximum principles are established. We also obtain exponential decay estimates for the solutions for all time, and particularly, their exponential convergence as time tends to infinity. Our analysis uses some transformations of the Bernstein-Cole--Hopf type which are explicitly constructed even for very general equation of state. Moreover, the Lemma of Growth in time is proved and utilized in order to achieve the above decaying estimates.

Asymptotic expansions with subordinate variables for solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

We study the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in a periodic domain with the force decaying in time. Although the force has a certain coherent decay, as time tends to infinity, it can be too complicated for the previous theory of asymptotic expansions to be applicable. To deal with this issue, we systematically develop a new theory of asymptotic expansions containing the so-called subordinate variables which can be defined recursively. We apply it to obtain an asymptotic expansion for any Leray-Hopf weak solutions. The expansion, in fact, is constructed explicitly and the impact of the subordinate variables can be clearly specified. The complexifications of the Gevrey-Sobolev spaces, and of the Stokes and bilinear operators of the Navier-Stokes equations are utilized to facilitate such a construction.

Intrinsic expansions in large Grashof numbers for the steady states of the Navier-Stokes equations

We enable a theory of intrinsic asymptotic expansions for the steady state solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations. Such a theory was first developed in Foias et al (2024 Commun. Pure Appl. Anal. 23, 269-303) for Galerkin approximations. To overcome the lack of local compactness in infinite dimensional spaces, we introduce the notion of asymptotic expansions in nested spaces. When the inclusion maps between these spaces are compact, we establish the existence of such an asymptotic expansion for a subsequence of any bounded sequence. This consequently yields an intrinsic asymptotic expansion in a single normed space. We apply this result to the steady states of the Navier-Stokes equations by utilizing the spectral fractional Sobolev spaces. In the case of the two-dimensional periodic boundary conditions, more properties relating the terms of the asymptotic expansion are obtained.

On Galerkin approximations of the Navier-Stokes equations in the limit of large Grashof numbers

We examine how stationary solutions to Galerkin approximations of the Navier--Stokes equations behave in the limit as the Grashof number $G$ tends to $\infty$. An appropriate scaling is used to place the Grashof number as a new coefficient of the nonlinear term, while the body force is fixed. A new type of asymptotic expansion, as $G\to\infty$, for a family of solutions is introduced. Relations among the terms in the expansion are obtained by following a procedure that compares and totally orders positive sequences generated by the expansion. The same methodology applies to the case of perturbed body forces and similar results are obtained. We demonstrate with a class of forces and solutions that have convergent asymptotic expansions in $G$. All the results hold in both two and three dimensions, as well as for both no-slip and periodic boundary conditions.

A new form of asymptotic expansion for non-smooth differential equations with time-decaying forcing functions

This article is focused on the asymptotic expansions, as time tends to infinity, of solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations with non-smooth nonlinear terms. The forcing function decays to zero in a very complicated but coherent way. We prove that every decaying solution admits an asymptotic expansion of a new type. This expansion contains a new variable that allows it to be established in a closed-form, but does not affect the meaning and precision of the expansion. Moreover, the expansion is constructed explicitly with the use of the complexification method.

Anisotropic flows of Forchheimer-type in porous media and their steady states

We study the anisotropic Forchheimer-typed flows for compressible fluids in porous media. The first half of the paper is devoted to understanding the nonlinear structure of the anisotropic momentum equations. Unlike the isotropic flows, the important monotonicity properties are not automatically satisfied in this case. Therefore, various sufficient conditions for them are derived and applied to the experimental data. In the second half of the paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the steady state flows subject to a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. It is also established that these steady states, in appropriate functional spaces, have local H\"older continuous dependence on the forcing function and the boundary data.

On the finite time blow-ups for solutions of nonlinear differential equations

We study systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations where the dominant term, with respect to large spatial variables, causes blow-ups and is positively homogeneous of a degree $1+\alpha$ for some $\alpha>0$. We prove that the asymptotic behavior of a solution $y(t)$ near a finite blow-up time $T_*$ is $(T_*-t)^{-1/\alpha}\xi_*$ for some nonzero vector $\xi_*$. Specific error estimates for $|(T_*-t)^{1/\alpha}y(t)-\xi_*|$ are provided. In some typical cases, they can be a positive power of $(T_*-t)$ or $1/|\ln(T_*-t)|$. This depends on whether the decaying rate of the lower order term, relative to the size of the dominant term, is of a power or logarithmic form. Similar results are obtained for a class of nonlinear differential inequalities with finite time blow-up solutions. Our results cover larger classes of nonlinear equations, differential inequalities and error estimates than those in the previous work.

Long-time behavior of solutions of superlinear systems of differential equations

This paper establishes the precise asymptotic behavior, as time $t$ tends to infinity, for nontrivial, decaying solutions of genuinely nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations. The lowest order term in these systems, when the spatial variables are small, is not linear, but rather positively homogeneous of a degree greater than one. We prove that the solution behaves like $ξt^{-p}$, as $t\to\infty$, for a nonzero vector $ξ$ and an explicit number $p>0$.

Behavior near the extinction time for systems of differential equations with sublinear dissipation terms

This paper is focused on the behavior near the extinction time of solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations with a sublinear dissipation term. Suppose the dissipation term is a product of a linear mapping $A$ and a positively homogeneous scalar function $H$ of a negative degree $-\alpha$. Then any solution with an extinction time $T_*$ behaves like $(T_*-t)^{1/\alpha}\xi_*$ as time $t\to T_*^-$, where $\xi_*$ is an eigenvector of $A$. The result allows the higher order terms to be general and the nonlinear function $H$ to take very complicated forms. As a demonstration, our theoretical study is applied to an inhomogeneous population model.

The Navier-Stokes equations with body forces decaying coherently in time

The long-time behavior of solutions of the three-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations in a periodic domain is studied. The time-dependent body force decays, as time $t$ tends to infinity, in a coherent manner. In fact, it is assumed to have a general and complicated asymptotic expansion which involves complex powers of $e^t$, $t$, $\ln t$, or other iterated logarithmic functions of $t$. We prove that all Leray-Hopf weak solutions admit an asymptotic expansion which is independent of the solutions and is uniquely determined by the asymptotic expansion of the body force. The proof makes use of the complexifications of the Gevrey-Sobolev spaces together with those of the Stokes operator and the bilinear form of the Navier-Stokes equations.

Asymptotic expansions about infinity for solutions of nonlinear differential equations with coherently decaying forcing functions

This paper studies, in fine details, the long-time asymptotic behavior of decaying solutions of a general class of dissipative systems of nonlinear differential equations in complex Euclidean spaces. The forcing functions decay, as time tends to infinity, in a coherent way expressed by combinations of the exponential, power, logarithmic and iterated logarithmic functions. The decay may contain sinusoidal oscillations not only in time but also in the logarithm and iterated logarithm of time. It is proved that the decaying solutions admit corresponding asymptotic expansions, which can be constructed concretely. In the case of the real Euclidean spaces, the real-valued decaying solutions are proved to admit real-valued asymptotic expansions. Our results unite and extend the theory investigated in many previous works.

Infinite series asymptotic expansions for decaying solutions of dissipative differential equations with non-smooth nonlinearity

We study the precise asymptotic behavior of a non-trivial solution that converges to zero, as time tends to infinity, of dissipative systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The nonlinear term of the equations may not possess a Taylor series expansion about the origin. This absence technically cripples previous proofs in establishing an asymptotic expansion, as an infinite series, for such a decaying solution. In the current paper, we overcome this limitation and obtain an infinite series asymptotic expansion, as time goes to infinity. This series expansion provides large time approximations for the solution with the errors decaying exponentially at any given rates. The main idea is to shift the center of the Taylor expansions for the nonlinear term to a non-zero point. Such a point turns out to come from the non-trivial asymptotic behavior of the solution, which we prove by a new and simple method. Our result applies to different classes of non-linear equations that have not been dealt with previously.
