Title:Higher-order asymptotic profiles of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the convection-diffusion equation with variable diffusion
View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the convection-diffusion equation: \[ \partial_t u - \mathrm{div}\left(a(x)\nabla u\right) = d\cdot\nabla \left(\left\lvert u\right\rvert ^{q-1}u\right), \ \ x \in \mathbb{R}^n, \ t>0 \] with an integrable initial data $u_{0}(x)$, where $n\ge1$, $q>1+\frac{1}{n}$ and $d\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$. Moreover, we take $a(x)=1+b(x)>0$, where $b(x)$ is smooth and decays fast enough at spatial infinity. It is known that the asymptotic profile of the solution to this problem can be given by the heat kernel. Moreover, the second asymptotic profile of the solution have already been studied. In particular, the following three cases are distinguished: $1+\frac{1}{n}<q<1+\frac{2}{n}$; $q=1+\frac{2}{n}$; $q>1+\frac{2}{n}$. More precisely, the second asymptotic profile has different properties in each of these three cases. In this paper, we focus on the critical case of $q=1+\frac{2}{n}$. By analyzing the corresponding integral equation in details, we have succeeded to give the more higher-order asymptotic expansion of the solution, which generalizes the previous works.
