Boundary Value Problems volume 2016, Article number: 117 (2016)
Abstract
In this paper, we study the global well-posedness of the 3D incompressible critical dissipative porous media equation with small initial data in the Triebel-Lizorkin space \(F^{s}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\). By a pointwise exponential decay estimate on the Poisson semigroup \(e^{-t\nu\sqrt{-\Delta}}\) and the Fourier localization technique, we generalize the global well-posedness in the Sobolev spaces \(H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3})=F^{s}_{p,2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) and \(H^{s}(\mathbb {R}^{3})=F^{s}_{2,2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) into the general Triebel-Lizorkin spaces \(F^{s}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with \(s>\frac{3}{p}\), \(p, q\in (1,\infty)\).
1 Introduction
The incompressible flow in porous media bears important significance in mathematical physics [1]. The Cauchy problem of the 3D incompressible dissipative porous media equation assumes the form
where \(0\leq\alpha\leq2\), \(\Lambda=\sqrt{-\Delta}\) is the Zygmund operator, \(\nu>0\) is the dissipative coefficient, scalar function \(\theta=\theta(t,x)\) is the liquid temperature, \(u=u(t,x)\) is the liquid discharge (flux per unit area) to model the flow velocity by the Darcy law, k is the matrix of position-independent medium permeabilities in the different directions, respectively, divided by the viscosity, p is the pressure, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \(\gamma\in\mathbb{R}^{3}\) is the last canonical vector \(\mathbf{e}_{3}\). For simplicity, we set \(g=1\) and \(k=I\), the identity matrix.
The fractional Laplacian \(\Lambda^{\alpha}\) is defined through the Fourier transform
The cases \(0\leq\alpha<1\), \(\alpha=1\), \(1<\alpha\leq2\) are called supercritical, critical, subcritical, respectively. Roughly speaking, the critical and supercritical cases are mathematically harder to deal with than the subcritical case. For the fractional Laplacian \(\Lambda ^{\alpha}\), we refer the reader to [1–4].
According to the Darcy law and the incompressibility condition, for \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{3}\) one has [1]
using the Newton potential formula and integrating by parts, we have
where the integral kernel is
\(x=(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})\in\mathbb{R}^{3}\), and \(\mathcal{C}=(\mathcal {C}_{k})\), \(\mathcal{S}=(\mathcal{S}_{k})\), \(1\leq k\leq3\), are all operators mapping scalar functions to vector-valued functions and \(\mathcal{C}_{k}\) equals a constant multiplication operator whereas \(\mathcal{S}_{k}\) means a Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator.
The global and local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem (1.1) have been intensively investigated in the last few years.
Córdoba, Gancedo, and Orive [5] studied the analytical behavior of solutions with infinite energy in the case \(\nu =0\) (without dissipation) in the two dimensional space, they obtained the local existence and uniqueness by the particle trajectory method in Hölder spaces \(C^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{2})\) for \(0< s<1\) and gave some blow-up criteria. Very recently, Córdoba, Faraco, and Gancedo [6] proved the non-uniqueness of solutions in \(L^{\infty }(\mathbb{T}^{2})\) (\(\mathbb{T}^{2}\) is the two dimensional flat torus) in space and time, Bae and Granero-Belinchón [7] studied transport equations with different nonlocal velocity fields and proved global weak solutions for very rough initial data (merely \(L^{1+}\)) for a one dimensional model of the incompressible porous media equation, and one dimensional and n dimensional models of the dissipative incompressible porous medium equation in the periodic domain.
Castro et al. [1] obtained the existence of strong solutions with regular initial data in the Sobolev space \(\theta _{0}(x)\in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\) (\(s>0\)) for the subcritical case \(1<\alpha \leq2\). For the supercritical case \(0\leq\alpha<1\), they also obtained the local well-posedness in the space \(H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), \(s>\frac {N-\alpha}{2}+1\), and they extended it to be global under a smallness condition \(\Vert \theta_{0}\Vert _{H^{s}}< c\nu\) on the initial data \(\theta_{0}\in H^{s}\) with \(s>\frac{N}{2}+1\). In the critical case \(\alpha=1\), the existence of strong solutions was obtained. They also proved the global existence of weak solutions with \(0\leq\alpha\leq2\).
Due to the method established by Hmidi and Keraani [8] for the quasi-geostrophic equation for \(0<\alpha<1\), Xue [9] established the local well-posedness of the porous media equation (1.1) in the Besov space \(B_{p,1}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\) (\(1\leq p <\infty\), \(s\geq1+\frac{N}{p}-\alpha\)) and in \(B_{\infty,1}^{s}(\mathbb {R}^{N})\cap\dot{B}_{\infty,1}^{0}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\) (\(s\geq1-\alpha\)), respectively. Furthermore, Xue [9] also obtained the global well-posedness with small initial data in \(\dot{B}_{\infty,1}^{1-\alpha }(\mathbb{R}^{N})\).
For the critical case \(\alpha=1\), by the method of modulus of continuity [10] and the Fourier localization technique, Yuan and Yuan [11] proved the global well-posedness in the critical Besov space \(\dot{B}_{p,1}^{\frac{3}{p}}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\), \(1\leq p \leq\infty\).
Based on Besov space techniques and the method of modulus of continuity, Yamazaki [12] studied the regularized IPM equation in the supercritical regime and the global well-posedness was established in the Sobolev space \(H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\), \(m \in\mathbb {Z}^{+}\), \(m>\frac{5}{2}\).
We recall that the Triebel-Lizorkin space is a unification of most of the classical function spaces used in partial differential equations such as Lebesgue space \(L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), Sobolev space \(H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\) and Hölder space \(C^{s}(\mathbb {R}^{N})\) for \(s>0\). Chae discussed the local well-posedness and blow-up criterion in the Triebel-Lizorkin space, respectively, for the Euler equation in [13] and for the quasi-geostrophic equation in [14]. Wang and Tang [15–17] studied the long time dynamics of 2D quasi-geostrophic equations.
In this paper, we focus on the critical case \(\alpha=1\) in the Triebel-Lizorkin space \(F^{s}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with \(s>\frac {3}{p}\), \(p, q \in(1,\infty)\). With the aid of the pointwise exponential decay estimate of the fractional heat semigroup \(e^{-t\nu \Lambda^{\alpha}}\),
where \(\dot{\Delta}_{j}\) is the Littlewood-Paley projection to the annulus \(\{\vert \xi \vert \sim2^{j}\}\) and \(\mathcal{M}\) is the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, if we work in a suitable space-time Triebel-Lizorkin space, after integrating in time we can get α derivatives from (1.2). Especially, for \(\alpha=1\), we can obtain the first order derivative which exactly balances the nonlinear term.
Our main result reads as follows.
Theorem 1.1
Assume that \(\alpha=1\) and \(\theta_{0}\in F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) with \(s>\frac{3}{p}\), \(p, q\in(1,\infty)\). If there exists a positive constant ϵ such that \(\Vert \theta_{0}\Vert _{F_{p,q}^{s}}< \epsilon\), then the Cauchy problem (1.1) of 3D incompressible critical dissipative porous media equation possesses a unique global solution \(\theta(t,x)\) such that
Remark 1.1
Since \(F_{p,2}^{s}(\mathbb {R}^{N})=H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), Theorem 1.1 implies that the Cauchy problem (1.1) has a global solution with small initial data in the Sobolev space \(H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\), \(s>\frac{3}{p}\), \(1< p<\infty\).
Throughout this paper, C stands for a constant which may vary from line to line. We shall sometimes use the notation \(A \lesssim B\) instead of \(A \leq CB\), and \(A\approx B\) means that \(A \lesssim B \) and \(B\lesssim A\).
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we provide a characterization of the Triebel-Lizorkin space based on the Littlewood-Paley decomposition. We follow [13, 14, 18–20].
We start with the dyadic partition of unity. Choose two nonnegative radial functions \(\chi, \varphi\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), supported, respectively, in the ball \(\mathcal{B}=\{\xi\in\mathbb {R}^{N}, \vert \xi \vert \leq\frac{4}{3}\}\) and in the ring \(\mathcal{C}=\{\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{N}, \frac{3}{4}\leq \vert \xi \vert \leq\frac{8}{3}\}\), such that
Then for \(u \in\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), the homogeneous dyadic block \(\dot{\Delta}_{j} \), and the nonhomogeneous dyadic block \(\Delta_{j}\) are defined as follows:
The homogeneous low-frequency cut-off operator \(\dot{S}_{j}\) is defined by
It is easily checked that
Using the notations \(\dot{\Delta}_{j}\) and \(\dot{S}_{j} \), the usual product uv of two distributions u and v can be decomposed into three parts in terms of the paraproduct operators introduced by Bony [19].
Formally, we can write the homogeneous Bony paraproduct decomposition
where
Let us now introduce the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.
Definition 2.1
Let \(s \in\mathbb{R}\), \(p, q \in [1,\infty]\). The homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin space \(\dot{F}_{p,q}^{s}\) is defined by
here \(\mathcal{S}'/ \mathcal{P}\) denotes the space of tempered distributions modulus polynomials and
The nonhomogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin space \({F}_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\) is defined by
with
Remark 2.1
We point out that if \(s>0\), we have \(F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})=\dot{F}_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\cap L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), then by the definition of the nonhomogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin space, the Minkowski inequality, and the fact that \(\Vert \Delta_{-1}u\Vert _{L^{p}}\leq C\Vert u\Vert _{L^{p}}\), we get
Remark 2.2
(Chae [13])
If \(s>\frac {N}{p}\), \(F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\hookrightarrow L^{\infty}(\mathbb {R}^{N})\), \(p,q \in[1,\infty]\).
The following space-time Triebel-Lizorkin space will play an important role in the proof of Theorem 1.1.
Definition 2.2
Let \(s\in\mathbb{R}\), \(p, q, r \in [1,\infty]\), \(I\subset\mathbb{R}\) be an interval. The homogeneous space-time Triebel-Lizorkin space \(\tilde{L}^{r}(I; \dot {F}_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}))\) is the set of all distributions satisfying
We can also define the inhomogeneous space-time Triebel-Lizorkin space \(\tilde{L}^{r}(I; F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}))\). By Remark 2.1, if \(s>0\),
For simplicity, we use \(\tilde{L}^{r}_{t}\dot{F}_{p,q}^{s}\), \(\tilde{L}^{r}\dot {F}_{p,q}^{s}\) to denote \(\tilde{L}^{r}(0, t; \dot{F}_{p,q}^{s})\) and \(\tilde {L}^{r}(0, \infty; \dot{F}_{p,q}^{s})\), respectively. For a locally integrable function f, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function \(\mathcal {M}f\) is defined by
where \(\vert \mathcal{B}(x,r)\vert \) denotes the volume of the ball \(\mathcal{B}(x,r)\) with center x and radius r.
The following vector-valued maximal inequality, which can be found in [21], plays a fundamental tool in the proof of product estimate.
Lemma 2.1
(Vector-valued maximal inequality)
Let \(1 < p < \infty\), \(1\leq q \leq\infty\), and \(\{u_{j}\}_{j \in\mathbb{Z}}\) be a sequence of functions in \(L^{p}(l^{q})\). Then we have
The following lemma is proved by Stein [22].
Lemma 2.2
Let Ï• be an integrable function on \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\) and the least decreasing radial majorant of Ï• be integrable, i.e.,
Then for any \(u \in L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\), \(1\leq p \leq\infty\), we have
Lemma 2.3
(Frazier-Torres-Weiss [23])
The Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator is bounded from the Triebel-Lizorkin space \(F_{p,q}^{s}\) into itself.
Using Lemma 2.3, we can control u constantly by θ modulus multiplication by a constant in the space \(F_{p,q}^{s}\).
Finally, let us recall the maximum principle.
Lemma 2.4
Let θ be the smooth solution to the Cauchy problem (1.1) with \(\alpha\in(0,2)\). Then we have
Proof
Hmidi and Keraani [8] established a maximum principle (2.9) for the quasi-geostrophic equation and the result does not depend on the space dimension. Following the idea of proof in [8] we can prove that (2.9) holds also for the 3D incompressible porous media equation similarly. Here we omit it. □
Remark 2.3
We can get an explicit decay estimates of the \(L^{p}\) norm in θ using the methods developed by Córdoba and Córdoba [24], however, the boundedness is enough for the proof of Theorem 1.1.
3 Proof of Theorem 1.1
In this section, we prove Theorem 1.1. We divide the proof into four steps.
Step 1. A priori estimates. Firstly, we rewrite (1.1) in the following integral form:
where we have used the fact that \(\nabla\cdot u=0\).
Then localizing (3.1) through the Fourier localization operator \(\dot{\Delta}_{j}\) and using estimates in Lemma A.2 in the Appendix, we get
Taking \(L^{\infty}\), \(L^{1}\) norm, respectively, with respect to t on both sides of (3.2) and using Young’s inequality give
Multiplying \(2^{js}\) on both sides of (3.3), taking \(l^{q}(\mathbb{Z})\) norm, then taking \(L^{p}\) norm, we get
due to the Lemma 2.1, using the product estimate in Lemma A.1 we obtain
according to the property of the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator in Lemma 2.3 we get
Similarly to (3.5), we get
Combining (3.5), (3.6), and using Lemma 2.4, we get
Step 2. Approximate solutions and uniform estimates. We construct the following successive approximate sequence \(\{\theta^{n}\}\):
where \(S_{j}\) (\(j\geq0\)) are low-frequency cut-off operators which are defined similarly by (2.5):
Setting \((\theta^{0},u^{0})=(0,0)\), and solving the linear system, we can find \(\{\theta^{n}, u^{n}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). As in Step 1, we can deduce that
If we take \(\epsilon>0\), such that \(\Vert \theta_{0}\Vert _{F_{p,q}^{s}}\leq\epsilon\), \(\epsilon\leq\frac{\nu}{4C^{2}}\), then we claim that, for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\),
In fact, assume that
It follows from (3.9) that
which implies (3.10).
Step 3. Compactness arguments and existence. We will show that the sequence \(\{\theta^{n}\}\) has a subsequence converging to a solution of the Cauchy problem (1.1) in \(\mathcal{D}'(\mathbb{R}^{+}\times\mathbb{R}^{3})\). The proof is based on compactness arguments.
Firstly, we show that \(\partial_{t}\theta^{n}\) is uniformly bounded in space-time Triebel-Lizorkin \(L_{t}^{\infty}(F_{p,q}^{s-1})\). By (3.8), we have
due to the fact that \(F_{p,q}^{s}\) (\(s>\frac{3}{p}\)) is a Banach algebra and the property of the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator in Lemma 2.3,
On the other hand, since \(\tilde{L}^{\infty}F_{p,q}^{s} \hookrightarrow L^{\infty}F_{p,q}^{s}\), (3.10) and (3.11) imply that
Now let us turn to the proof of the existence. We note that for any \(\psi\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\), the map \(u\longmapsto\psi u\) is compact from \(H_{p}^{s}\) into \(H_{p}^{t}\) for \(s>t\), \(p< \infty\), together with the Sobolev embedding
we thus get the map \(u\longmapsto\psi u\) is compact from \(F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) into \(L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\). Thus by the Lions-Aubin compactness theorem, we can conclude that there exist a subsequence \(\{\theta^{n_{k}}\}\) and a function θ such that
Moreover, the uniform estimate (3.10) allows us to conclude that \(\theta(t,x)\in\tilde{L}^{\infty}F_{p,q}^{s} \cap \tilde{L}^{1}\dot {F}_{p,q}^{s+1}\), and
Finally, by a standard limit argument, we can prove that the limit function \(\theta(t,x)\) satisfies the Cauchy problem (1.1) in the sense of distribution.
We still have to prove that \(\theta(t,x)\in\mathcal{C}(0,\infty; F_{p,q}^{s})\). From the definition of the Triebel-Lizorkin space and the Minkowski inequality we have
From (3.13), for \(\epsilon>0\), there exists a number \(N_{0}\in \mathbb{N}\) such that
while
Equation (3.12) allows us to finish the proof of continuity in time, that is, \(\theta(t,x)\in\mathcal{C}(0,\infty; F_{p,q}^{s})\).
Step 4. Uniqueness. Assume that \(\theta'(t,x)\in\tilde{L}^{\infty}F_{p,q}^{s} \cap\tilde {L}^{1}\dot{F}_{p,q}^{s+1}\) is another solution of the Cauchy problem (1.1) with the same initial data \(\theta_{0}(x)\).
Let \(\delta\theta= \theta-\theta'\) and \(\delta u=u-u'\), then \((\delta \theta,\delta u)\) satisfies the following Cauchy problem:
Following the same procedure of estimate leading to (3.7), by Lemma A.1 in the Appendix and Lemma 2.3 we can obtain
In order to get the estimates in the inhomogeneous mixed time-space Triebel-Lizorkin space, it remains to estimate \(\Vert \Delta _{-1}(\delta\theta)\Vert _{L_{T}^{\infty}L_{x}^{p}}\). To do this, we apply the operator \(\Delta_{-1}\) on both sides of (3.14). Modifying slightly the proof of Proposition 6.2 in [8], together with the maximum principle, Bernstein’s inequality [19], and Hölder’s inequality yield
thus the property of Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator in Lemma 2.3 and the Sobolev embedding \(F_{p,q}^{s}\hookrightarrow L^{p}\) (\(s>0\)) imply that
Combining (3.15) and (3.16), we get
Since \(\theta(t,x)\), \(\theta'(t,x)\) satisfy (3.13), if ϵ and T have been chosen small enough then it follows that \(\delta\theta (t,x)=0\) on \([0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^{3}\). By a standard continuation argument, we can show that \(\delta\theta(t,x)=0\) in \([0,\infty)\times \mathbb{R}^{3}\), i.e. \(\theta(t,x)=\theta'(t,x)\).
This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1.

Appendix
Appendix
In this section, we provide the product estimate in the space-time Triebel-Lizorkin spaces which is used in the proof of Theorem 1.1. Chen and Zhang [18] established the estimate by the Littlewood-Paley trichotomy decomposition. Here we give a proof by the Bony paraproduct technique.
Lemma A.1
(Product estimate)
Assume that \(u,v \in \tilde{L}^{\infty}_{T}(F_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}))\cap\tilde{L}^{1}_{T}(\dot {F}_{p,q}^{s+1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}))\), \(s>\frac{N}{p}\), \(1< p<\infty\), \(1\leq q \leq\infty\). Then
here C is a constant only depending on s.
Proof
Using Bony’s paraproduct decomposition and the property of quasi-orthogonality (2.6)-(2.7), \(\forall j \in \mathbb{Z}\), we have
Thus we have
We shall estimate the above three terms, respectively.
For the first term \(I'\) on the RHS of (A.3), by using the Minkowski inequality, the Young inequality, Lemma 2.1, and Lemma 2.2, we get
Similarly, for the second term \(\mathit{II}'\) on the RHS of (A.3), we have
Now, we turn to estimate the third term \(\mathit{III}'\) on the RHS of (A.3). From the Young inequality, Lemma 2.1, and Lemma 2.2, we have
Summing up (A.4)-(A.6), we obtain the product estimate (A.1). □
Next we give a decay estimate of the fractional heat semigroup \(e^{-t\nu (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}}\) on distributions with Fourier transforms supported in the annulus. The result is due to Chen and Zhang [18] in the 2D case and was used in a crucial way for the proof of Theorem 1.1. For convenience of the reader, we will give a short proof.
Lemma A.2
Let \(\alpha\in(0,2]\), \(j \in\mathbb{Z}\). We have the following decay estimates:
where C and c are positive constants independent of t, j.
Proof
We consider a function \(\phi\in\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R}^{3} \setminus\mathcal{B}(0,\frac{1}{4}))\), the value of which is identically 1 near the annulus \(\mathcal{C} = \{\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{3}, \frac{3}{4}\leq \vert \xi \vert \leq\frac{8}{3}\}\). Denote
where \(K_{j,t}(x)= (2\pi)^{-3}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}e^{-t\nu \vert \xi \vert ^{\alpha}}\phi(2^{-j}\xi)e^{ix\cdot\xi}\,d\xi\). Since
where \(\widetilde{K}_{j,t}(x)= (2\pi)^{-3}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}e^{-t\nu 2^{j\alpha} \vert \xi \vert ^{\alpha}}\phi(\xi)e^{ix\cdot\xi}\,d\xi \), we have
Next, we study the asymptotic behavior of \(\widetilde{K}_{j,t}(x)\) for large x. Let \(L(x,D)=\frac{x\cdot\nabla_{\xi}}{i \vert x\vert ^{2}}\), then \(L(x,D)e^{ix\cdot\xi}=e^{ix\cdot\xi}\). Consequently, \(L^{*}=L^{*}(x,D)=-\frac{x\cdot\nabla_{\xi}}{i \vert x\vert ^{2}}\), then for any \(N_{*} \in\mathbb{N}\), we have
The integrand in (A.11) can be majorized by
Thus, we have
Combining (A.10) and (A.12), we deduce that
Now, we turn to the proof of the inequality (A.7). For \(N_{*}>3\), we have
Thus we obtain the desired estimate (A.7).
Following the same procedure of estimate leading to (A.7), we can prove the estimate (A.8) similarly. □
