Temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives of solutions of the compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic equations
Boundary Value Problems volume 2022, Article number: 76 (2022)
Abstract
Recently, Gao and Yao established the global existence and temporal decay rates of solutions for a system of compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic fluids (Gao and Yao in Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 36: 3077–3106, 2016). However, because of the difficulty of derivative loss in the nonlinear terms, Gao and Yao could not provide the temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives of classical solutions. In this paper, motivated by the decomposition technique of both low and high frequencies of solutions in (Wang and Wen in Sci. China Math. 65: 1199–1228 2022), we further derive the temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives of the strong solutions. Moreover, the decay rate is optimal, since it agrees with the solutions of the linearized system.
1 Introduction
In this paper, we investigate the temporal decay of the highest-order derivatives of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic system, which can be described as follows:
with initial condition
Lets us explain the notations appearing in system (1.1). The functions \(\rho ={\rho}(t,x)\), \(\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{u}(t,x)\), and \(\mathbf{B}= {\mathbf{B}}(t,x)\) represent the density, velocity, and magnetic field of a Hall-magnetohydrodynamic fluid, respectively. The pressure function of the fluid \({P}(\rho )\) depending on the density ρ is a smooth function. The constants μ and ν represent the viscosity coefficients of the fluid and satisfy the following physical conditions
Hall-magnetohydrodynamics fluids have attracted more and more attention from plasma physicists. It is thought to be the key to understanding the magnetic reconnection problem. Acheritogaray et al. [1]provided a derivation of the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics system through a set of scale limits in the Euler–Maxwell system of ions and electrons and stated system (1.1) for the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics fluids. The interested readers may further refer to [3, 9, 12, 36, 39, 47] and the referencestherein for the relevant physical progress. When the Hall effect term \(\operatorname{curl}(\rho ^{-1}(\operatorname{curl}\mathbf{B})\times \mathbf{B}))\) is neglected in (1.1), the Hall-MHD system reduces to the well-known MHD system. At present the MHD system has been extensively investigated from mathematical, physical and numerical aspects; see [6, 7, 13–27, 31, 33, 41, 46, 53] and the references cited therein.
The well-posedness problem for the Hall-MHD system has also been widely investigated; see [4, 42] and the references cited therein. Since we are interested in the temporal decay for the solutions of the compressible system (1.1), we briefly introduce relevant results. The interested readers can refer to [5, 49] and the references therein for the temporal decay of solutions to the incompressible Hall-MHD system.
Fan et al. proved the local existence of strong solutions with positive initial density and global-in-time classical solutions around the rest state \((1,\mathbf{0},\mathbf{0})\) with small initial perturbation. They also established the optimal time decay rate for classical solutions [8]:
They required the initial perturbation to be small in \(H^{3}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\)-norm and bounded in \(L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\)-norm. Later, Gao–Yao [11] deduced temporal decay rates for the higher-order spatial derivatives of classical solutions:
where \(0\leqslant k\leqslant 2\) and \(0\leqslant m\leqslant 3\). It is easy to see that these decay rates are the same as for the heat equation. However, because of the difficulty of derivative loss in the nonlinear terms, Gao and Yao could not provide the temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives, i.e., \(\nabla ^{3}(\rho -1,\mathbf{u})(t)\). In this paper, we establish the temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives.
For simplicity, we consider the existence of unique strong solutions with small perturbation and establish the temporal decay for the highest-order derivatives of strong solutions by using the decomposition technique of both low and high frequencies of solutions in [45]. Note that it is easy to verify that (1.3) also holds for \(k=3\) by following the proof of our main result.
In addition, recently the temporal decay of solutions to the full compressible Hall-MHD fluids has been also widely investigated; see [10, 30, 40, 43, 44] for examples. Our main result can be easily extended to the full case. Before presenting our main results, we introduce some notations often used throughout this paper.
The letter \(C>0\) represents a generic constant that varies from line to line, and \(C_{i}>0\) is a fixed constant for \(i \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}\); \(\langle{ \cdot ,\cdot}\rangle \) stands for the inner product in \({L^{2}}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\), and \(a\lesssim b\) means that \(a \leqslant Cb\) for some constant \(C>0\). For simplicity, we also denote \(a \approx b\) if \(a \lesssim b\) and \(a\gtrsim b\). The symbol \({\nabla ^{l}}\) with an integer \(l \geqslant 1\) represents the spatial derivatives of order l. We set \({\partial _{i}} = {\partial _{{x_{i}}}} \) (\({i = 1,2,3} \)) and \(\partial _{x}^{\alpha }= \partial _{{x_{1}}}^{{\alpha _{1}}} \partial _{{x_{2}}}^{{\alpha _{2}}}\partial _{{x_{3}}}^{{\alpha _{3}}}\) with multiindices \(\alpha =({\alpha _{1}},{\alpha _{2}},{\alpha _{3}})\).
For simplicity, \(\|\cdot \|_{{L^{p}}}:= \|\cdot \|_{{L^{p}( \mathbb{R}^{3})}}\) and \(\|\cdot \|_{{H^{s}}}:=\|\cdot \|_{{H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{3})}}\), where \(1\leqslant p \leqslant \infty \) and \(s \in \mathbb{R} \). By \(\Lambda ^{s}\) we denote the pseudodifferential operator defined by
where f̂ and \({{\mathcal{F}}^{-1}}(f)\) stand for the Fourier and inverse Fourier transforms, respectively.
Let \(\xi \in \mathbb{R}^{3}\), and let \(\varphi (\xi )\) be a smooth cut-off function satisfying \(0 \leqslant \varphi (\xi ) \leqslant R_{0}\) and
where \(R_{0}\) satisfies \(R_{0}> \sqrt{\frac{8}{\mu}}\). Then we can define the frequency distribution for the function \(f\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\) as follows:
where \({D_{x}}: = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {-1} }}({{\partial _{{x_{1}}}},{\partial _{{x_{2}}}},{ \partial _{{x_{3}}}}})\), and \(\varphi ({{D_{x}}})\) is a pseudodifferential operator of \(\varphi (\xi )\). Note that \(f(x)\) can be expressed as follows:
Now we introduce the main result in this paper.
Theorem 1.1
Suppose that \(({\rho _{0}}-1,{\mathbf{u}_{0}},{\mathbf{B}_{0}})\in{H^{2}}( \mathbb{R}^{3})\) satisfies
for some sufficiently small constant ε. Then the Cauchy problem (1.1)–(1.2) has a unique global-in-time solution \(( {\rho ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B}} )\), which satisfies
Furthermore, if the initial data \(({\rho _{0}}-1,{\mathbf{u}_{0}},{\mathbf{B}_{0}})\) is bounded in \(L^{1}({\mathbb{R}^{3}})\), then the strong solution \(({\rho ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B}})\) enjoys the decay estimates for all \(t\geqslant 0\),
Now we will introduce our main idea for deriving the optimal time-decay rates in (1.9). The main difficulty focuses on how to obtain the energy estimates that include only the highest-order spatial derivative of the solution \(\nabla ^{2} (\rho -1,\mathbf{u})\), which is essentially caused by the “degenerate” dissipative structure of the hyperbolic parabolic system. To get the dissipative estimate for \(\nabla ^{2} \rho \), the usual energy method in [11] is constructing the interaction energy functional between u and ∇ρ by using the pressure term in linearized momentum equations; see (3.27). It implies that both the first and second orders of the spatial derivatives of the velocity and the density should be involved in the Lyapunov functional
Consequently, the \(L^{2}\)-norm of the highest order and the first-order derivative of the solution have the same time-decay rate.
One of the main goals in this paper is developing a way to capture the optimal time-decay rates for the highest-order derivative of the solution to the Cauchy problem (1.1)–(1.2) if the initial perturbation is bounded in \(L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\). Firstly, by using the standard energy method we establish estimate (3.24) of the energy functional \({\mathcal{F}}_{H}(t)\) in (3.25). Secondly, motivated by the decomposition technique of both low and high frequencies of solutions in [45], to get rid of the obstacle from the term \(\int _{\mathbb{R}^{3}} \nabla u\cdot \nabla \rho \,\mathrm{d}x\), we will remove the low-medium-frequency part of the term from \({\mathcal{F}}_{H}(t)\) (see (4.12)), which requires a new estimate for the low-medium-frequency term (see Lemma 4.1 for more detail). This method can also be seen, for example, in [50] for the two-phase flow and in [51] for the MHD system.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, for the convenience of calculation, we transform the original system (1.1) into a perturbation form (2.5). In Sect. 3, we establish a priori estimates of solutions and provide the global-in-time existence and uniqueness of the solutions for the Hall-MHD system. Finally, in Sect. 4, as in [45], we obtain the optimal time decay rate for the nonhomogeneous system (2.5) by the decomposition technique of both low and high frequencies of solutions.
2 Reformulation
For the convenience of the subsequent calculations, we rewrite system (1.1) as follows, Since \(\operatorname{div}\mathbf{B}=0\), we have
where \(\nabla ^{\mathrm{T}}\mathbf{B}\) denotes the transposed matrix of ∇B, and
Letting
we can further rewrite system (1.1)–(1.2) in the perturbation from:
where the nonlinear terms \({{\mathcal{H}}_{1}}\)–\({{\mathcal{H}}_{3}}\) are defined by
with the nonlinear functions
3 Global-in-time unique solvability for the nonlinear system
In this section, we focus on the global(-in-time) existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Hall-MHD equations. The local strong solutions can be extended to the global solutions by the standard continuity method and global a priori estimates.
3.1 Global existence of solutions
First, we define the work space for system (2.5) by
for \(0\leqslant T \leqslant +\infty \). Then, motivated by [6, 35], we can obtain the following local existence result of a unique solutions to system (2.5).
Proposition 3.1
(Local existence)
Let \(( {{\omega _{0}},{\mathbf{u}_{0}},{\mathbf{B}_{0}}} ) \in {H^{2}} ( {\mathbb{R}^{3}} )\) and suppose that
Then there exists a positive constant \(T_{0}\), only depending on \(\|(\omega _{0},\mathbf{u}_{0},\mathbf{B}_{0})\|_{H^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})}\). such that the Cauchy problem (2.5) has a unique solution \((\omega ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B}) \in \Omega (0,T_{0})\), which satisfies
and
where \(C_{1}\) is a positive constant.
Proof
The statement can be easily obtained by an iterative method and a fixed point theorem; we refer to [6, 35] for examples. □
Proposition 3.2
(A priori estimates)
Suppose that system (2.5) has a solution \((\omega ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B}) \in \Omega (0,T)\) with constant \(T>0\). Then there exists a sufficiently small constant \(\varepsilon _{0}>0\) such that if
then for all \(t\in [0,T]\), we have that
where \({C_{2}}\) is a positive constant independent of T.
Proof
The proof of the proposition will be given in Sect. 3.2. □
According to Propositions 3.1–3.2, we can derive the following theorem, which implies the global existence of unique solutions.
Theorem 3.1
(Global existence)
Assume that \(( \omega _{0},\mathbf{u}_{0},\mathbf{B}_{0})\in{H^{2}}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\). Then there exists a positive constant ε such that if, additionally,
then the initial-value problem (2.5) admits a unique solution \((\omega ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B})\), which satisfies the following estimate for all \(t>0\):
where \(\mathfrak{C}_{0}:= \|(\omega _{0},\mathbf{u}_{0},\mathbf{B}_{0})\|_{H^{2}}\).
Proof
Since Theorem 3.1 can be deduced from Propositions 3.1–3.2 by a classical method, we omit the trivial. We refer the interested readers to [35, 38]. □
Remark 3.1
By the Sobolev imbedding inequality we have
Therefore, under the assumptions in Proposition 3.2, we obtain, for \(k \geqslant 1\),
and
where C is a positive constant.
3.2 Proof of Proposition 3.2
In this section, we complete the proof of Proposition 3.2. The key step is the energy method used to derive the estimates of the both lower- and highest-order derivatives of the solution \((\omega ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B})\) for the transformed Cauchy problem (2.5).
Lemma 3.1
We have
where
and \(\gamma _{1}<\frac{1}{4}\) is a positive constant.
Proof
Multiplying \({\nabla ^{k}}{\text{(2.5)}_{1}}\), \({\nabla ^{k}}{\text{(2.5)}_{2}}\), and \({\nabla ^{k}}{\text{(2.5)}_{3}}\) by \(\nabla ^{k}\omega \), \(\nabla ^{k}\mathbf{u}\), and \(\nabla ^{k}\mathbf{B}\), respectively, and integrating over \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) by parts, we have
By \(\langle \nabla \text{(2.5)}_{1},\mathbf{u}\rangle + \langle \text{(2.5)}_{2},\nabla \omega \rangle \) we get
Then using Young’s inequality, we get the following inequalities for some fixed constant \({\gamma _{1}}\):
and
Summing up the two identities \(\gamma _{1}\times \text{(3.11)}\) and \(\sum_{0 \leqslant k \leqslant 1}{\text{(3.10)}}\) and then using (3.12)–(3.13), we arrive at
The nonlinear terms \({{\mathcal{K}}_{i}}\) (\({1 \leqslant i \leqslant 8}\)) on the right-hand side of (3.14) can be bounded as follows. Using Hölder’s inequality, Young’s inequality, Lemmas A.1–A.2, integration by parts, and (3.2), we get
and
Then, thanks to Hölder’s inequality, Young’s inequality, (3.6)–(3.7), assumption (3.2), and the definition of \({{\mathcal{H}}_{2}}\), we obtain that
and
For the term \({\mathcal{K}}_{5}\), integrating by parts and using Hölder’s inequality and Sobolev inequalities, we first obtain the estimate
Hence from the above we get
Similarly to (3.19), we deduce
For the last two terms, using integration by parts, Lemmas A.1–A.2, and Hölder’s inequality, we find that
and
Putting (3.15)–(3.16) and (3.17)–(3.22) into (3.14) yields
Taking a fixed constant \(0 < {\gamma _{1}} < \frac{1}{4}\), we get the desired estimate from (3.23). The proof of the lemma is complete. □
Now we exploit the energy method to establish an estimate for the highest-order derivatives of the solution \(( {\omega ,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{B}} )\).
Lemma 3.2
We have
where
and \({\gamma _{2}} \leqslant \{\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{8\mu}, \frac{1}{8(\mu +\nu )}\}\) is a given positive constant.
Proof
Multiplying \({\nabla ^{2}} \text{(2.5)}_{1}\)–\({\nabla ^{2}} \text{(2.5)}_{3}\) by \({\nabla ^{2}}\omega \), \({\nabla ^{2}}\mathbf{u}\), \({\nabla ^{2}}\mathbf{B}\), respectively, and integrating the three resulting identities over \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\), we get
Multiplying ∇(2.5)2 by \(\nabla \nabla \omega \) and then exploiting \(\nabla ^{2}\text{(2.5)}_{1}\) and Young’s inequality, we deduce that
Summing up (3.26) and \({\gamma _{2}}\times \text{(3.27)}\) with fixed constant \(\gamma _{2}\), we have
Now we estimate the nonlinear terms on the right-hand side of (3.28). Thanks to integration by parts, Lemmas A.1–A.2, Lemma A.5, Hölder’s inequality, and Young’s inequality, we get
Using Young’s inequality, Hölder’s inequality, Lemma A.5, integration by parts, and (3.6)–(3.7), we get that
By similar estimates we easily get
where
and
For the last term on the right-hand side of (3.28), using Hölder’s inequality, integration by parts, Young’s inequality, Lemma A.5, and (3.6)–(3.7), we obtain
Putting (3.29)–(3.33) into (3.28), we derive that
where \(0<{\gamma _{2}} \leqslant \{\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{8\mu}, \frac{1}{8(\mu +\nu )}\}\) is a fixed positive constant. Consequently, we complete the proof of (3.24). □
With Lemmas 3.1–3.2 in hand, it is easy to further obtain Proposition 3.2. As a matter of fact, keeping in mind the definitions of \({{\mathcal{F}}_{L}}\) and \({{\mathcal{F}}_{H}}\) and Young’s inequality, we have
which yields
where \({C_{4}} > 0\) is a constant. Thus integrating the two inequalities in the two above lemmas over \([ {0,t} ]\), we obtain (3.3) for the smallness of \(\varepsilon _{0}\). This completes the proof of Proposition 3.2.
4 Decay-in-time rates of the solution
In this section, we derive the decay-in-time rates for the solution in the previous section. We divide the proof into two subsections.
4.1 Cancelation of the low-frequency part
Inspired by the observation of canceling the low-frequency part of the solution in [45], we have the following conclusion.
Lemma 4.1
We have
where \(C > 0\) is a constant.
Proof
Multiplying ∇(2.5)2 by \(\nabla \nabla {\omega ^{L}}\) in \(L^{2}\) and then integration by parts and (2.5)1, we get
Similarly to (3.12)–(3.13), using Young’s inequality, we find that
By the Plancherel theorem, Lemma A.2, and (3.33) we obtain
Adding up \(\gamma _{2}\times \text{(4.3)}\) and (3.24) in Lemma 3.2 and then using (4.4) and Lemma A.3, we get
In addition, using decomposition (1.5), we further put \(\frac{\mu}{4} R_{0}^{2}\|{{\nabla ^{2}}{\mathbf{u}^{L}}} \|_{{L^{2}}}^{2} + \frac{1}{4} R_{0}^{2}\| {{\nabla ^{2}}{\mathbf{B}^{L}}} \|_{{L^{2}}}^{2}\) on the both sides of (4.5) to get
Moreover, noting that \(\gamma _{2}<\frac{1}{4}\) and \(R_{0}^{2}>\frac{8}{\mu}\) and using the smallness of \(\varepsilon _{0}\), we obviously get
Recalling the frequency decomposition (1.5), we have
For the term of \({\gamma _{2}}\int _{\mathbb{R}^{3}} {\nabla \nabla {\omega ^{H}} \cdot \nabla \mathbf{u}\,\mathrm{d}x} \), exploiting Lemma A.3, Young’s inequality, and integration by parts, we deduce that
where we have used the fact that \(0 < {\gamma _{2}} < \frac{1}{8}\).
Now combining (4.8) with (4.9) yields
Thanks (4.10), we derive from (4.7) that
Consequently, using Gronwall’s inequality, we conclude that
This completes the proof of the lemma. □
4.2 Decay estimate of the low-frequency part
We will give an estimate of the low-frequency part of the solution by analyzing the structure of the semigroup of the Cauchy problem (2.5). To this end, by the Hausdorff decomposition in [2] we first adopt the following notations:
where \({ ( \operatorname{curl} {\mathbf{u}} )_{ij}} = {\partial _{j}}{{\mathbf{u}}^{i}} - {\partial _{i}}{{\mathbf{u}}^{j}}\). Then decoupling the Cauchy problem (2.5), we obtain the following two systems:
and
where \({{\mathcal{I}}_{2}}: = {\Lambda ^{ - 1}}\operatorname{div}{{\mathcal{H}}_{2}}\), \({m_{0}} := {\Lambda ^{ - 1}}\operatorname{div}{\mathbf{u}_{0}}\), and \({M_{0}}: = {\Lambda ^{ - 1}}\operatorname{curl}{\mathbf{u}_{0}}\). Then we can directly obtain the following lemma by a simple calculation; see [45, 54] for examples.
Lemma 4.2
Let \(\mathbf{B}(t,x)\) and \(M(t,x)\) be the solutions to linearized equations of \(\textit{(4.13)}_{3}\) and (4.14), respectively. Then, for all \({|\xi |^{2}} \geqslant 0\), we have that
and
where \(C>0\) is a constant, and \(\widehat{\mathbf{B}}\) and M̂ are the Fourier transforms of B and M, respectively.
From the linearized system (4.13)1–(4.13)2, by the Fourier transform we can easily obtain the following system:
which can be rewritten as
where \(\widehat {\mathbf{{U}}}:=(\widehat{\omega},\widehat{m})\) and
According to the theory of ODEs, there exists a solution of system (4.17), which can be expressed by
Taking the inverse Fourier transform on the both sides of (4.20), we obtain the solution
where \({\mathbf{{A}}}(t){\mathbf{{U}}}: = {{\mathcal{F}}^{ - 1}}({{e^{t\widehat {\mathcal{A}}( {| \xi |} )}}\widehat {\mathbf{{U}}}( \xi )} )\).
We easily compute the characteristic polynomial of the matrix \(\widehat {\mathcal{A}}( {| \xi |} )\):
The eigenvalues \({\lambda _{i}}(\xi )\) (\({i = 1,2}\)) of \(\widehat {\mathcal{A}}( {| \xi |} )\) can be calculated by (4.22) as follows:
Based on the semigroup decomposition theory proposed in [32], we get
where
is a set of projection operators.
Then we get asymptotic expansions of \({\lambda _{i}}( \xi )\) (\({i = 1,2} \)), \({P_{i}}( \xi )\) (\({i = 1,2}\)), and \({e^{t\widehat {\mathcal{A}}( {| \xi |} )}}\) in the case of different frequency situations. More precisely, we have the following:
Lemma 4.3
For any \(|\xi | \leqslant 1\), \({\lambda _{i}}(\xi )\) (\({i = 1,2}\)) has the Taylor series expansion
where b is a constant.
Proof
We refer to [29] for the proof. □
According to the lemma, we can obtain a time-decay estimate of the low-frequency part of the solution of the linear system (4.17).
Lemma 4.4
For \(1 \leqslant p \leqslant 2\), we have
for any integer \(k\geqslant 0\).
Proof
Thanks to expressions (4.23)–(4.24) and the Fourier transform, we can obtain the following specific expression of the Green matrix \({e^{t{\mathcal{A}}}}\):
where
For any \(|\xi | \leqslant R_{0}\), by simple calculation we have
Similarly, we obtain
From these two estimates we can derive that
For any \(| \xi | \leqslant 1\), we combine (4.20) and (4.30)–(4.32) to get
and
Thanks to the Plancherel theorem, (4.20), (4.33), and (4.34), we obtain
Applying Hausdorff–Young’s and Hölder’s inequalities to (4.35), we have
which ends the proof of Lemma 4.4. □
Based on Lemmas 4.2 and 4.4, we get the following estimates.
Proposition 4.1
Let \(1 \leqslant p \leqslant 2\). For any integer \(k\geqslant 0\), we have
Proof
Thanks to the two estimates in Lemma 4.2, we can follow the arguments of (4.35) and (4.36) to get
and
Recalling that
we have
which, together with (4.27) and (4.38), implies that
The combination of (4.27), (4.37), and (4.39) ends the proof of Proposition 4.1. □
4.3 Decay rates for the nonlinear system
Now we are in the position to derive the optimal time-decay rate of the solution of nonlinear system (2.5). Let us redefine
and
In other words, system (2.5) can be expressed as follows:
with the initial data
where \({\mathcal{H}} ( V )\) is defined by
Thanks to Duhamel’s principle and the initial data \({\mathbf{{K}}}(0){\mathbf{{D}}}(0)\) of the solution to the linearized system of (2.5), we can express the solution of the ordinary differential equation as
In addition, thanks to Proposition 4.1, we can obtain the following estimate of the low-frequency part of the solution to the nonlinear problem.
Lemma 4.5
Suppose that \(1 \leqslant p\leqslant 2\). Then for any integer \(k \geqslant 0\),
where \(C_{6}>0\) is a constant.
With Lemmas 4.1 and 4.5 in hand, we can further establish the optimal time-decay rate for the solution.
Lemma 4.6
(Optimal time-decay rates)
Under the assumptions in Theorem 1.1, we have
for any \(t \in [0,\infty )\).
Proof
We introduce the nondecreasing Lyapunov function
where, for \(0 \leqslant k \leqslant 2\),
Here the constant \(C_{7}>0\) is independent of \({\varepsilon _{0}}\).
From Hölder’s inequality and (4.46) we have
Similarly to (4.47), we obtain
where \(\vartheta \in ( {0,\frac{1}{2}} )\) is a given constant. Thanks to (4.43) and Lemma A.6, we get
where \(0 \leqslant k \leqslant 2\). Substituting the above two inequalities into (4.1) yields
By (4.50) and Lemma A.6 we obtain
Using Lemma A.3 and (1.5), we have
From the above calculation we deduce that for \(0 \leqslant k \leqslant 2\),
Then, for a sufficiently small \(\varepsilon _{0} \) and a constant \(C_{8}\), which is independent of \(\varepsilon _{0}\), we can derive that
By Young’s inequality we obtain
Thus we have
where \({C_{{\varepsilon _{0}}}}: = \frac{{1 + \vartheta }}{2}{\varepsilon _{0}}^{ \frac{{4 ( {1 - \vartheta } )}}{{1 + \vartheta }}}\) and \({{\mathcal{J}}_{0}}: = {C_{8}} \Vert { ( {\omega ,\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{B}} ) ( 0 )} \Vert _{{H^{2}} \cap {L^{1}}}^{2} + \frac{{1 - \vartheta }}{2}C_{8}^{\frac{2}{{1 - \vartheta }}}\).
Suppose \({{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}(t) > 2{{\mathcal{J}}_{0}}\) for any \(t \geqslant {t_{1}}\) with a positive constant \({t_{1}}\). Since \({\mathcal{R}}(t) \in {C^{0}}[0, + \infty )\) and \({{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}(0)\) is small, we have that
with some \({t_{0}} \in ( {0,{t_{1}}} )\). By (4.56) we have \({{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}( {{t_{0}}} ) \leqslant {{\mathcal{J}}_{0}} + {C_{{ \varepsilon _{0}}}}{{\mathcal{R}}^{4}}( {{t_{0}}} )\), which implies
Assume that the small constant \(\varepsilon _{0}\) satisfies \({C_{{\varepsilon _{0}}}} < \frac{1}{{4{{\mathcal{J}}_{0}}}}\), which leads to \({C_{{\varepsilon _{0}}}}{{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}( {{t_{0}}} ) < \frac{1}{2}\). This fact, together with (4.58), implies \({{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}( {{t_{0}}} ) < 2{{\mathcal{J}}_{0}}\), which it contradicts with (4.57). Therefore we get \({{\mathcal{R}}^{2}}(t) \leqslant 2{{\mathcal{J}}_{0}}\) for all \(t \geqslant {t_{1}}\). Keeping in mind that \({\mathcal{R}}( t )\) is nondecreasing, we have \({\mathcal{R}}(t) \leqslant C\) for all \(t \in [ {0, + \infty })\). This completes this proof. □

Appendix: Analytic tools
Appendix: Analytic tools
This appendix is devoted to providing some important mathematical results, which have been used in the previous sections.
Lemma A.1
([34])
Let \(f \in {H^{2}}({\mathbb{R}^{3}})\). Then we have
-
(i)
\({\| f \|_{L^{p}}} \lesssim {\| f \|_{H^{1}}} \) for \(2 \leqslant p \leqslant 6\);
-
(ii)
\({\| f \|_{{L^{\infty }}}} \lesssim \Vert { \nabla f} \Vert _{{L^{2}}}^{{1 / 2}}\| {\nabla f} \|_{{H^{1}}}^{{1 / 2}} \lesssim { \Vert { \nabla f} \Vert _{{H^{1}}}}\);
-
(iii)
\({\| f \|_{{L^{6}}}} \lesssim {\| { \nabla f} \|_{{L^{2}}}}\).
Lemma A.2
([28])
We have
for \(k \geqslant 1\), where \(1\leqslant {q_{i}} \leqslant + \infty \), and
Lemma A.3
([45])
For any integers r, s, and t, we have
where \(f \in {H^{n}}({\mathbb{R}^{3}})\) and \(r \leqslant s\leqslant t\leqslant n\). Moreover,
for some constants \({r_{0}} > 0\) and \({R_{0}} > 0\).
Next, we introduce the Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality.
Lemma A.4
([48])
Let \(\psi (\omega )\) be a smooth function of ω with bounded derivatives of any order. If \({\| \omega \|_{{L^{\infty }}( {\mathbb{R}^{3}} )}} \leqslant 1\), then for any integer \(j \geqslant 1\), we have
where \(1 \leqslant q \leqslant \infty \).
Lemma A.5
([37])
Suppose \(0 \leqslant i,j \leqslant k\). Then we have
where \(0 \leqslant \sigma \leqslant 1\), and
In particular, if \(p = \infty \), then \(0 < \sigma < 1\) is required.
For decay estimates of solutions, we further introduce the following basic inequalities.
Lemma A.6
([52])
Suppose \({b_{1}},{b_{2}},{b_{3}} \in {\mathbb{R}^{3}} \) and \({b_{1}}>0\), \(0 \leqslant {b_{1}} \leqslant {b_{2}}\), \({b_{3}}>0\). Then for \(t \in \mathbb{R}\mathbbm{_{+} }\),
and
where \(C ( {{b_{1}},{b_{2}}}) > 0\) and \(C ( {{b_{1}},{b_{3}}}) > 0\) are constants depending only on \({b_{1}}\), \({b_{2}}\), \({b_{3}} \).
