Boundary Value Problems volume 2015, Article number: 129 (2015)
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for the equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony’s type with a time delay. We prove the global existence of solutions and energy decay. By using the Liapunov function method, we shall show that the solution is exponentially decay if the delay parameter τ is sufficiently small.
1 Introduction
In this paper, we consider a family of dispersive equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony’s type under the effect of dissipation, and we will investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Our model can be written in the abstract form
where \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{1}\), \(t>0\), \(-\tau\leq s\leq0\), \(\alpha>0\), and we set \(\Omega=(0,1)\). The operators M and L can be differential operators or pseudo-differential operators, and the orders of pseudo-differential operators M and L are μ and s with \(s\geq\mu\geq2\).
In the simplest case, when M and L are the differential operators \(M=I-\frac{\partial}{\partial x^{2}}\), \(L=-\frac{\partial}{\partial x^{2}}\), (1.1) is the well-known Benjamin-Bona-Mahony model [1]:
which describes the unidirectional propagation of weakly nonlinear dispersive long waves where Burger’s type dissipation is considered. The existence of global solutions and asymptotic behavior in time have been studied by several authors. The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equations in one space dimension was studied by Amick, Bona and Schonbek in [2], by Wang and Yang in [3], and by Bona and Luo in [4]. These results were generalized by Zhang [5] to multiple spatial dimensions. In [6–8] the authors considered a family of equations of KdV and BBM’s type described by pseudo-differential operators, and studied the asymptotic behavior in one space dimension. In [9] study the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear dissipative equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony’s type and discuss the existence of a global attractor and estimate its Hausdorff and fractal dimensions. But few of the equations involving delay.
To explain our motivation of introducing a time delay into Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation, we consider the rate of change of u, which we denote by \(\frac{Du}{Dt}\), is
where \(x(t)\) is understood to change with time at \(u=\frac{dx}{dt}\). However, we might have a delay τ to u. In this case the rate of change of u with the delay τ should be
This clearly shows how we obtain the time-delay term \(u(x,t-\tau)u_{x}(x,t)\) in Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation (1.4). There is literature about delay reaction-diffusion equations [10–12], on which our work is based. Recently, the asymptotic behavior of solutions of time-delayed Burgers equation was studied by Liu in [13]. Subsequently, exponentially decay rate of solutions for Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation (1.4) with a time decay was studied in [14], and in [15] author have obtained the exponentially decay rate of solutions for the time-Delayed Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Here, by using the Liapunov function method, we shall show that the solution of problems (1.1)-(1.3) is exponentially decay if the delay parameter τ is sufficiently small.
We shall use standard notation. By \(L^{p}(\Omega)\) we shall denote the space of functions in Ω whose pth power is integrable, with the norm \(\|g\| _{L^{p}}^{p}=\int_{\Omega}|g(x)|^{p}\,dx\), \(1\leq p<+\infty\). The norm in \(L^{2}(\Omega)\) we will denote by \(\|\cdot\|_{L^{2}}=\|\cdot\|\). By \(L^{\infty}(\Omega)\) we denote the space of measurable essentially bounded functions in Ω with the norm
For each \(\sigma\in\mathbb{R}\) we shall denote by \(H^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) the usual Sobolev space of order σ. By \(H_{\mathrm{per}}^{\sigma}(\Omega)\), \(\sigma\geq0\) we shall indicate the space of functions periodic in the sense of (1.2). If \(g\in H_{\mathrm{per}}^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) then g has an expansion in a Fourier series,
The norm of g in \(H_{\mathrm{per}}^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) will be denoted by
which is equivalent to \(H^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) norm, \(\sigma\geq0\), according to Temam [16]. We shall denote by \(\dot{L}^{2}(\Omega)\) and \(\dot{H}^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) the space of functions \(g\in L^{2}(\Omega)\) or \(H^{\sigma}(\Omega)\) such that
The space \(\dot{H}^{\sigma}(\Omega)\), \(\sigma\in\mathbb{R}_{+}\), is the space of functions \(g\in L^{2}(\Omega)\)) such that g satisfies (1.5) and
In \(\dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{1}(\Omega)\) the Poincaré inequality holds, that is, if \(g\in\dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{1}(\Omega)\) then
The inequality (1.6) shows that \(\dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{1}(\Omega)\) is a Hilbert space with scalar product of \(H_{0}^{1}(\Omega)\), and \(\|u\| _{H^{1}}=(u,u)_{H^{1}}^{1/2}\) is a norm on this space equivalent to that induced by \(H^{1}(\Omega)\).
The operators M and L of (1.1) are pseudo-differential operators of orders μ and s, respectively, with
and
where m and l are the principal symbols of the operators M and L, respectively. We assume from now on that the symbols m and l are even functions of k that satisfy the growth conditions:
(i) There exist constants \(c_{1}, c_{2}>0\) such that
(ii) There exist constants \(c_{3}, c_{4}>0\) such that
The domains of operators M and L are given by
Let X be a Banach space and \(a< b\). We denote by \(C^{n}([a,b];X)\) the space of n times continuously differentiable functions defined on \([a,b]\) with values in X with the supremum norm and we write \(C([a,b];X)\) for \(C^{0}([a,b];X)\).
The main result of this paper is stated as follows.
Theorem 1.1
For any initial condition \(u_{0}=u_{0}(x,s)\in C([-\tau,0], \dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{\frac{\mu}{2}}(\Omega))\), \(\mu\geq2\), \(s\geq 0\), and suppose M and L satisfy the assumptions (1.7), (1.8). Then problem (1.1)-(1.3) has a unique global mild solution u on \([-\tau, \infty)\) with
Theorem 1.2
Under the assumption of Theorem 1.1, if \(\mu=s\), there are \(\tau_{0}, \omega, K>0\) such that, for \(\tau<\tau_{0}\), the solution of (1.1)-(1.3) satisfies
This paper is organized as follows. In next section, we prove the existence of the solution. Furthermore, we show that the solution is exponentially decay by using the Liapunov function method.
2 Exponential decay estimates
Firstly, we briefly show that problem (1.1)-(1.3) is well posed. To conveniences, we denote \(\|u\|\leq\lambda_{1}\|L^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\), \(\|u_{x}\|\leq\lambda_{2}\|L^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\), \(\|u\|\leq\lambda_{3}\|M^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\), \(\|u_{x}\|\leq\lambda_{4}\| M^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\), \(\|M^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\leq\lambda_{5}\|L^{\frac{1}{2}}u\|\).
Proof of Theorem 1.1
By the standard methods as in [9], it is easy to prove that for every initial value \(u_{0}=u_{0}(x,s)\in C([-\tau,0], \dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{\frac{\mu}{2}}(\Omega))\), there exists a \(T=T(u_{0})>0\) such that problem (1.1)-(1.3) has a unique mild solution u on \([-\tau, T]\) with
Furthermore, for any \(\tau>0\), the solution of (1.1)-(1.3) does not blow up in finite time. Indeed, multiplying (1.1) by u, integrating by parts, we obtain, for \(0\leq t\leq\tau\),
By the Young inequality, we get
which implies that
where \(K_{1}(\|u_{0}\|_{C([-\tau,0], \dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{\frac{\mu}{2}}(\Omega ))})\) is a positive constant depending on \(\|u_{0}\|_{C([-\tau,0], \dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{\frac{\mu}{2}}(\Omega ))}\). Repeating the above procedure, we can prove that, for \(n\tau\leq t\leq(n+1)\tau\) (\(n=1,2,\ldots\)),
In summary, we have proved Theorem 1.1. □
Secondly, we prove that our main result about the exponential stability. To this end, we introduce the following notations. For a given initial condition \(u_{0}=u_{0}(x,s)\in C([-\tau,0], \dot{H}_{\mathrm{per}}^{\frac{\mu}{2}}(\Omega))\), denote
Set
and let \(\tau_{0}\) be small enough, such that for any τ, \(0\leq\tau <\tau_{0}\leq\sigma\),
Proof of Theorem 1.2
Let
Since
and \(\|M^{1/2}u(t)\|\) is continuous, we have \(T_{0}>0\). We shall prove that \(T_{0}=+\infty\). For this, we argue by contradiction. If \(T_{0}<+\infty\), then we have
and
Multiplying (1.1) by u, then integrating on Ω with respect to x, we obtain
Since \(\int_{0}^{1} u^{2}(t)u_{x}(t)\,dx=0\), we have
where
We now majorize Φ in the right hand side of (2.7). Firstly, since
we have
Let
we have
and
We now want to estimate Ψ. To this end, multiplying (1.1) by \(u_{t}\), then integrating on Ω with respect to x, we obtain
Integrating on \([t-\tau, t]\), \(0\leq t\leq T_{0}\), we obtain
where
which implies that
We now majorize H:
with \(0<\varepsilon<2\lambda_{3}^{-2}\). Thus by (2.10)-(2.11), we have
furthermore, by (2.9), we get
Then (2.8) and (2.13) implies that
Thus, by (2.7) and (2.14), we obtain
furthermore,
where ω is defined by (2.3). Solving the above inequality gives
Hence
which is in contradiction with (2.6). Therefore, we have proved that \(T_{0}=+\infty\) and then (1.9) follows from (2.16). Thus we have completed the proof of Theorem 1.2. □
