Abstract
In this paper, we consider the variable coefficient wave equation with damping and supercritical source terms. The goal of this work is devoted to prove the local and global existence, and classify decay rate of energy depending on the growth near zero on the damping term. Moreover, we prove the blow-up of the weak solution with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy.

1 Introduction
In this paper, we are concerned with the local and global existence, energy decay rates and finite time blow-up of the solution for the following wave equation
where \(f(u) = |u|^\gamma u\) and \(Lu = div (A(x)\nabla u) = \sum ^n_{i,j=1} \frac{\partial }{\partial x_i} \bigl (a_{ij}(x)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_j}\bigr )\). \(\Omega \) is a bounded domain of \(\mathbb {R}^n\) (\(n \ge 3\)) with smooth boundary \(\Gamma \).
The damping-source interplay in system (1.1) arise naturally in many contexts, for instance, in classical mechanics, fluid dynamics and quantum field theory (cf. [29, 45]). The interaction between two competitive force, that is damping term and source term, make the problem attractive from the mathematical point of view.
For the present polynomial nonlinear source term case such as \(|u|^\gamma u\), the stability of (1.1) has been studied by many authors (see [7, 8, 14,15,16,17,18, 20,21,22,23,24,25,26, 28, 30, 31, 39,40,42, 47] and a list on references therein), where the source term is subcritical or critical. However, very few results addressed wave equations influenced by supercritical sources (cf. [1,2,3,4,5, 11, 12, 46]). [1,2,3,4,5] are the first papers that introduced super-supercritical sources and answered the open questions related to local existence, global existence versus blow-up of solution, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data. [46] proved the local and global existence, uniqueness and Hadamard well-posedness for the wave equation when source terms can be supercritical or super-supercritical. However, the author do not considered the energy decay and blow-up of the solutions. [11] considered a system of nonlinear wave equations with supercritical sources and damping terms. They proved global existence and exponential and algebraic uniform decay rates of energy moreover, blow-up result for weak solutions with nonnegative initial energy. But as far as I know, the only problem with considering supercritical source is the constant coefficients case, that is, \(A = I\) and dimension \(n=3\).
In the case of variable coefficients, that is \(A \ne I\), stability of the wave equation was considered in [9, 15, 18, 22, 37, 52]. The wave equations with variable coefficients arise in mathematical modeling of inhomogeneous media in solid mechanics, electromagnetic, fluid flows through porous media. The variable coefficients problem has been widely studied (see [6, 32,33,34, 36, 48,49,50,51] and a list of references therein). However, there were very few results considered the source term. For instance, [27] proved the energy decay of the variable-coefficient wave equation with nonlinear acoustic boundary conditions and source term. Recently, [19] studied the uniform energy decay rates of the wave equation with variable coefficients applying the Riemannian geometry method and modified multiplier method. But, above mentioned references were considered subcritical source. There is none, to my knowledge, for the variable coefficients problem having both damping and source terms taking into account supercritical source.
Our main motivation and the techniques are constituted by three dimensional case [1,2,3,4,5], in which the source term can be supercritical on variable coefficient problem. The variable coefficient part of the elliptic operator L does not bring in major additional challenges, since it’s strongly elliptic and the maximal monotonicity hold. The difference from previous literatures is that we take into account the supercritical source for \(n \ge 3\) and blow-up of solutions with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy.
In order to overcome difficulties to prove above statements, first, we refine the energy space and a constant used in potential well method, because we do not guarantee \(H^1_0(\Omega ) \hookrightarrow L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )\) since the source term is supercritical. Also we have a hypothesis on damping term for proving existence of solutions (see Remark 2.1). Second, we rely on the Faedo-Galerkin method combined with suitable truncations-approximation since the supercritical source lacks the globally Lipschitz condition. Third, we refine the key point constants used to prove blow-up result. So, this paper has improved and generalized previous literatures.
The goal of this paper is to prove the existence result using the Faedo-Galerkin method and truncated approximation method, and classify the energy decay rate applying the method developed in [38]. Moreover, we prove the blow-up of the weak solution with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy. This paper is organized as follows: In Sect. 2, we recall the notation, hypotheses and some necessary preliminaries and introduce our main result. In Sect. 3, we prove the local existence of weak solutions, and show the global existence of weak solution in each two conditions in Sect. 4. In Sect. 5, we prove the uniform decay rate under suitable conditions on the initial data and damping term by the differential geometric approach. In Sect. 6, we prove the blow-up of the weak solution with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy by using contradiction method.
2 Preliminaries
We begin this section by introducing some notations and our main results. Throughout this paper, we define the Hilbert space \(H^1_0(\Omega ) = \{u \in H^1(\Omega ) ; u = 0~~ \text {on} ~~ \Gamma \}\) with the norm \(||u||_{H^1_0(\Omega )} = ||\nabla u||_{L^2(\Omega )}\) and \({\mathcal {H}} = \{u \in H^1_0(\Omega ) ; u \in L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )\}\) with the norm \(||u||_{\mathcal {H}} = ||u||_{H^1_0(\Omega )} + ||u||_{L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )}\). \(||\cdot ||_p\) is denoted by the \(L^p(\Omega )\) norm and \(\langle u, v\rangle = \int _\Omega u(x)v(x) dx\) .
\(\mathbf{(H_1)}\) Hypothesis on \(\mathbf{A}\).
The matrix \(A = \bigl (a_{ij}(x)\bigr )\), where \(a_{ij} \in C^1({\overline{\Omega }})\), is symmetric and there exists a positive constant \(a_0\) such that for all \(x \in {\overline{\Omega }}\) and \(\omega = (\omega _1, \cdots , \omega _n)\) we have
\(\mathbf {(H_2)}\) Hypothesis on \(\mathbf \mu \).
Let \(\mu \in W^{1, \infty }(0,\infty )\cap W^{1,1}(0, \infty )\) satisfying following conditions:
where \(\mu _0\) is a positive constant.
\(\mathbf{(H_3)}\) Hypothesis on \(\mathbf{g}\).
Let \(g : \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) be a nondecreasing \(C^1\) function such that \(g(0) = 0\) and suppose that there exist positive constants \(c_1\), \(c_2\), \(\rho \) and a strictly increasing and odd function \(\beta \) of \(C^1\) class on \([-1, 1]\) such that
where \(\beta ^{-1}\) denotes the inverse function of \(\beta \).
\(\mathbf {(H_4)}\) Hypothesis on \(\mathbf \gamma \) and \(\mathbf \rho \).
Let \(\gamma \) and \(\rho \) be positive constants satisfying the following condition:
By using the hypothesis \((H_1)\), we verify that the bilinear form \(a(\cdot , \cdot ) : H^1_0(\Omega ) \times H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) defined by
is symmetric and continuous. On the other hand, from (2.1) for \(\omega = \nabla u\), we get
Remark 2.1
In view of the critical Sobolev imbedding \(H^1_0(\Omega ) \hookrightarrow L^\frac{2n}{n-2}(\Omega )\), the map \(f(u) = |u|^\gamma u\) is not locally Lipschitz from \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) into \(L^2(\Omega )\) for the supercritical (or super-supercritical) values \(\frac{2}{n-2} < \gamma \le \frac{n+2}{n-2}\). However, by the hypothesis on \(\rho \) \(\Bigl (\rho \ge \frac{2(n-2)\gamma - 4}{n + 2 - (n-2)\gamma }\Bigr )\), f(u) is locally Lipschitz from \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) into \(L^\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}(\Omega )\).
Definition 2.1
(Weak solution) u(x, t) is called a weak solution of (1.1) on \(\Omega \times (0,T)\) if \(u \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\), \(u_t \in L^{\rho +2}(0, T ; \Omega )\) and satisfies (1.1) in the distribution sense, i.e.,
for any \(\phi \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\), \(\phi \in L^{\rho +2}(0, T ; \Omega )\) and \(u(x,0) = u_0(x) \in {\mathcal {H}}\), \(u_t(x,0) = u_1(x) \in L^2(\Omega )\).
Remark 2.2
One easily check that \({\mathcal {H}} = H^1_0(\Omega )\) when \(\frac{2}{n-2} < \gamma \le \frac{4}{n-2}\). Moreover, if \(n = 3\), then we can replace \({\mathcal {H}}\) by \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) when \(2 < \gamma \le 4\), since \(H^1_0(\Omega ) \hookrightarrow L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )\). (see Figure 1).
The energy associated to the problem (1.1) is given by
We now state our main results.
Theorem 2.1
(Local existence) Suppose that \((H_1)-(H_4)\) hold. Then given the initial data \((u_0,u_1) \in {\mathcal {H}} \times L^2(\Omega )\), there exist \(T>0\) and a weak solution of problem (1.1). Moreover, the following energy identity holds for all \(0 \le t \le T\):
Remark 2.3
Theorem 2.1 implies that if f is supercritical, then we have a Hadamard wellposedness i.e., continuous dependence with respect to initial data by the same arguments as [4] and [46]. More precisely, in dimension \(n = 3\), continuous dependence on initial data was proved in [4]. When \(n \ge 4\), one studied in [46], for \(\frac{2}{n-2} < \gamma \le \frac{4}{n-2}\). However, for the case \(\frac{4}{n-2} < \gamma \le \frac{n+2}{n-2}\), that is, f is super-supercritical, no longer considers the Hadamard wellposeness. Even though there are a few results in [46], but it was proved under the restricted initial condition, restricted regularity and restricted dimension. This matter remains a challenging open problem.
Theorem 2.2
(Global existence) Suppose that \((H_1)-(H_4)\) hold and the initial data \((u_0,u_1) \in {\mathcal {H}} \times L^2(\Omega )\). If one of the assumptions hold: \(\rho \ge \gamma \) or
where
Then the weak solution u(x, t) of (1.1) is global.
Theorem 2.3
(Energy decay rates) Suppose that the hypotheses in Theorem 2.1 and (2.8) with \(\rho \le \gamma \). Then we have following energy decay rates:
-
(i)
Case 1 : \(\beta \) is linear. Then we have
$$\begin{aligned} E(t) \le C_1 e^{-\omega t}, \end{aligned}$$where \(\omega \) is a positive constant.
-
(ii)
Case 2 : \(\beta \) has polynomial growth near zero, that is, \(\beta (s) = s^{\rho +1}\). Then we have
$$\begin{aligned} E(t) \le \frac{C_2}{(1+t)^\frac{2}{\rho }}. \end{aligned}$$ -
(iii)
Case 3 : \(\beta \) does not necessarily have polynomial growth near zero. Then we have
$$\begin{aligned} E(t) \le C_3 \Bigl (F^{-1}\Bigl (\frac{1}{t}\Bigr ) \Bigr )^2, \end{aligned}$$where \(F(s) = s \beta (s)\) and \(C_i\) (\(i = 1, 2, 3\)) are positive constants that depends only on E(0).
Theorem 2.4
(Blow-up) Suppose that hypotheses \((H_1)-(H_4)\) hold and, in addition, that \(\rho < \gamma \). Moreover, assume that
and
where
Then the weak solution of the problem (1.1) blows up in finite time.
Remark 2.4
The inequality \(\rho \ge \gamma \) always holds true under the following condition: (see Figure 2)
In other words, if f is super-supercritical, then the inequality \(\rho \ge \gamma \) always holds under the assumption \(\rho \ge \frac{2(n-2)\gamma - 4}{n + 2 - (n-2)\gamma }\).
Remark 2.5
We summarize our results.

(1)
Local existence is obtained for the region I, II and III in Figure 2.
-
(2)
Hadamard wellposedness is satisfied for the region I and II in Figure 2.

Global existence is obtained for the region I and III, or the region II with the condition (2.8) in Figure 2.

3 Local Existence
3.1 Globally Lipschitz Source
We first deal with the case where the source f is globally Lipschitz from \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) to \(L^2(\Omega )\). In this case, we have the following result.
Proposition 3.1
Assume that \((H_1)-(H_3)\) hold. In addition, assume that \((u_0,u_1) \in {\mathcal {H}} \times L^2(\Omega )\) and \(f : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is globally Lipschitz continuous satisfying \(c_3|s|^{\gamma +1} \le |f(s)| \le c_4|s|^{\gamma +1}\), where \(c_3\), \(c_4\) are for some positive constants. Then problem (1.1) has a unique global solution \(u \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\) for arbitrary \(T > 0\).
Proof
We construct an approximate solution by using the Faedo-Galerkin method. Let \(\{w_j\}_{j \in \mathbb {N}}\) be a basis in \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) and define \(V_m = span\{w_1, w_2, \cdots , w_m \}\). Let \(u^m_0\) and \(u^m_1\) be sequences of \(V_m\) such that \(u^m_0 \rightarrow u_0\) strongly in \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) and \(u^m_1 \rightarrow u_1\) strongly in \(L^2(\Omega )\). We search for a function, for each \(m \in \mathbb {N}\),
satisfying the approximate equation
Since (3.1) is a normal system of ordinary differential equations, there exist \(u^m\), solutions to problem (3.1). A solution u to problem (1.1) on some internal \([0, t_m)\), \(t_m \in (0, T]\) will be obtain as the limit of \(u^m\) as \(m \rightarrow \infty \). Next, we show that \(t_m = T\) and the local solution is uniformly bounded independent of m and t. For this purpose, let us replace w by \(u^m_t\) in (3.1) we obtain
We will now estimate \( \int _\Omega g(u^m_t)~u^m_t dx\) and \(\int _\Omega f(u^m)~ u^m_t dx\). From the hypothesis on g, we have
Under the assumption that f is globally Lipschitz from \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) into \(L^2(\Omega )\) we have
where \(L_f\) is the Lipschitz constant and \(C_4\) is for some positive constant, so that by Hölder’s and Young’s inequalities and from the fact (2.6) we deduce that
Replacing (3.3) and (3.4) in (3.2) we get
Integrating (3.5) over (0, t) with \(t \in (0, t_m)\) we have
Therefore, by Gronwall’s lemma we obtain
where \(C_5\) is a positive constant which is independent of m and t. The estimate (3.7) implies that
and
We note that from (3.9), taking the hypotheses on g into account we also obtain
where \(C_6\) is a positive constant independent of m and t.
From (3.7)-(3.10), there exists a subsequence of \(\{u^m\}\), which we still denote by \(\{u^m\}\), such that
Since \(H^1_0(\Omega ) \hookrightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is compact, we have, thanks to Aubin-Lions Theorem that
and consequently, by making use of Lions lemma (cf. [35]), we deduce
Convergences (3.11)-(3.15) permit us to pass to the limit in the (3.1). Since \(\{w_j\}\) is a basis of \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) and \(V_m\) is dense in \(H^1_0(\Omega )\), after passing to the limit we obtain
for all \(\theta \in D(0,T)\) and \(v \in H^1_0(\Omega )\).
From the (3.16) and taking \(v \in D(\Omega )\), we conclude that
Our goal is to show that \(\psi = g(u_t)\). Indeed, considering \(w= u^m\) in (3.1) and then integrating over (0, T), we have
Then from convergences (3.11)-(3.15) we obtain
By combining (3.17) and (3.18), we have
which implies that
Next, considering \(w = u^m_t\) in (3.1) and then integrating over (0, T), we have
From (3.12), (3.13), (3.15), (3.17) and (3.19), we arrive at
On the other hand, since g is a nondecreasing monotone function, we get
for all \(\varphi \in L^2(\Omega )\). Thus, it implies that
By considering (3.12), (3.14) and (3.20), we obtain
which implies that \(\psi = g(u_t)\).
We now show the uniqueness of the solution. Let \(u^1\) and \(u^2\) be two solutions of problem (1.1). Then \(z = u^1 - u^2\) verifies
for all \(w \in {\mathcal {H}}\). By replacing \(w = z_t\) in above identity and observing that g is monotonously nondecreasing and \(f : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is globally Lipschitz, it holds that
Where \(C_7\) is for some positive constant. By integrating from 0 to t and using Gronwall’s Lemma, we conclude that \(||z_t||_2 = a(z,z) = 0\). \(\square \)
3.2 Locally Lipschitz Source
In this subsection, we loosen the globally Lipschitz condition on the source by allowing f to be locally Lipschitz continuous. More precisely, we have the following result.
Proposition 3.2
Assume that \((H_1)-(H_4)\) hold. In addition, assume that \((u_0,u_1) \in {\mathcal {H}} \times L^2(\Omega )\) and \(f : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is locally Lipschitz continuous satisfying \(c_3|s|^{\gamma +1} \le |f(s)| \le c_4|s|^{\gamma +1}\), where \(c_3\), \(c_4\) are for some positive constants. Then problem (1.1) has a unique local solution \(u \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\) for some \(T > 0\).
Proof
Define
where K is a positive constant. With this truncated \(f_K\), we consider the following problem:
Since \(f_K : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is globally Lipschitz with Lipschitz constant \(L_f(K)\) for each K (see [10]), then by Proposition 3.1, the truncated problem (3.22) has a unique global solution \(u_K \in C(0,T ;{\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\) for arbitrary \(T > 0\). For simplifying the notation in the rest of the proof, we shall express \(u_K\) as u.
Multiplying (3.22) by \(u_t\) and integrating on \(\Omega \times (0,t)\), where \(0< t < T\) we obtain by using the fact \(\mu '(s) < 0\) for all \(s > 0\),
We note that \(f_K : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\) is globally Lipschitz with Lipschitz constant \(L_f(K)\) (see [10, 13]). Hence we estimate the last term on the right-hand side of (3.23) as follows:
From the hypothesis on g, we have
By replacing (3.24) and (3.25) in (3.23) and choosing \(\epsilon \le c_1\), we get
for all \(t \in [0, T]\), where
for \(\alpha = \min \{\frac{\mu _0}{2}, \frac{1}{\gamma +2}, c_1 - \epsilon \}\). Thus by Gronwall’s inequality, (3.26) becomes
If we choose \(T = \min \{\frac{1}{ C_1(L_f(K))}, \frac{1}{C_2(L_f(K))}\ln 2\}\), then
provided we choose \(K^2 \ge 2(C_8 + 1)\). Consequently, (3.27) gives us that \([a(u,u)]^{\frac{1}{2}} \le K\) for all \(t \in [0,T]\). Therefore, by the definition of \(f_K\), we have that \(f_K(u) = f(u)\) on [0, T]. By the uniqueness of solutions, the solution of the truncated problem (3.22) accords with the solution of the original, non-truncated problem (1.1) for \(t \in [0,T]\), which means that the proof of Proposition 3.2 is completed. \(\square \)
3.3 Completion of the Proof for the Local Existence
In order to establish the existence of solutions, we need to extend the result in Proposition 3.2 where the source f is locally Lipschitz from \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) into \(L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\). For the construction of the Lipschitz approximation for the source, we employ another truncated function introduced in [43]. Let \(\eta _n \in C^{\infty }_0(\mathbb {R})\) be a cut off function such that
and \(|\eta '_n(s)| \le \frac{C}{n}\) for some constant C independent from n and define
Then the truncated function \(f_n\) is satisfied the following lemma. The proof of this lemma is a routine series of estimates as in [1, 44], so we omit it here.
Lemma 3.1
The following statements hold.
-
(1)
\(f_n : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^2(\Omega )\) is globally Lipschitz continuous.
-
(2)
\(f_n : H^{1-\epsilon }_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\) is locally Lipschitz continuous with Lipschitz constant independent if n.
With the truncated source \(f_n\) defined in (3.28), by Proposition 3.2 and Lemma 3.1, we have a unique local solution \(u^n \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1(0,T;L^2(\Omega ))\) satisfying the following approximation of (1.1)
From Lemma 3.1, the life span T of each solution \(u^n\) is independent of n. Also we known that T depends on K, where \(K^2 \ge 2(C_8 + 1)\), however, since \(||u^n_1||^2_2 + a(u^n_0,u^n_0) + ||u^n_0||^{\gamma +2}_{\gamma +2} \rightarrow ||u_1||^2_2 + a(u_0,u_0) + ||u_0||^{\gamma +2}_{\gamma +2}\), we can choose K sufficiently large so that K is independent of n. By (3.27),
for all \(t \in [0, T]\). Therefore, there exists a function u and a subsequence of \(\{u^n\}\), which we still denote by \(\{u^n\}\), such that
By (3.30), (3.31) and (3.32), we infer
for all \(t \in [0, T]\). Moreover, by Aubin-Lions Theorem, we have
for \(0< \epsilon < 1\). Since \(u^n\) is a solution of (3.29), it holds that
for any \(\phi \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\), \(\phi \in L^{\rho +2}(0, T ; \Omega )\).
Now we will show that
Indeed, we have
By (2) in Lemma 3.1 and (3.34), we obtain
Since \(\eta _n(u(x)) \rightarrow 1 \) a.e. in \(\Omega \), we have \(f_n(u) \rightarrow f(u)\) a.e. Then we also have \( |f_n(u) - f(u)|^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}} \le 2^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}|f(u)|^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}\) and \(f(u) \in L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\), for \(u\in H^1_0(\Omega )\). Thus by the Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem, we have
From convergences (3.38) and (3.39), (3.37) gives us (3.36).
On the other hand, by using similar arguments from (3.18) to (3.21), we get
Convergences (3.32), (3.33), (3.36) and (3.40) permit us to pass to the limit in (3.35) and conclude the following result.
Proposition 3.3
Assume that \((H_1)-(H_4)\) hold. In addition, assume that \((u_0,u_1) \in {\mathcal {H}} \times L^2(\Omega )\) and \(f : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\) is locally Lipschitz continuous. Then problem (1.1) has a local solution \(u \in C(0,T ; {\mathcal {H}}) \cap C^1 (0,T ; L^2(\Omega ))\) for some \(T > 0\).
Let \(f(u) = |u|^\gamma u\), then \(f : H^1_0(\Omega ) \rightarrow L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\) is locally Lipschitz continuous (see Remark 2.1). Thus by Proposition 3.3, the proof of the local existence statement in Theorem 2.1 is completed.
3.4 Energy Identity
It is well known that to prove the uniqueness of weak solutions, we will justify the energy identity (2.7). The energy identity can be derived formally by multiplying (1.1) by \(u_t\). But, such a calculation is not justified, since \(u_t\) is not sufficiently regular to be the test function in as required in Definition 2.1. To overcome this problem, we employ the operator \(T^\epsilon = (I - \epsilon L)^{-1}\) to smooth function in space, which is mentioned in [13]. We recall important properties of \(T^\epsilon \) which play an essential role when establishing the energy identity.
Lemma 3.2
[13] Let \(u^\epsilon = T^\epsilon u\). Then following statements hold.
-
1.
If \(u \in L^2(\Omega )\), then \(||u^\epsilon ||_2 \le ||u||_2\) and \(u^\epsilon \rightarrow u\) in \(L^2(\Omega )\) as \(\epsilon \rightarrow 0\).
-
2.
If \(u \in H^1_0(\Omega )\), then \(||\nabla u^\epsilon ||_2 \le ||\nabla u||_2\) and \(u^\epsilon \rightarrow u\) in \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) as \(\epsilon \rightarrow 0\).
-
3.
If \(u \in L^p(\Omega )\) with \(1< p < \infty \), then \(||u^\epsilon ||_p \le ||u||_p\) and \(u^\epsilon \rightarrow u\) in \(L^p(\Omega )\) as \(\epsilon \rightarrow 0\).
We will now justify the energy identity (2.7). We play the operator \(T^\epsilon \) on every term of (1.1) and multiply by \(u^\epsilon _t\). Then we obtain by integrating in space and time
Since \(u \in H^1_0(\Omega )\) and \(u_t \in L^2(\Omega )\), we have by Lemma 3.2, \(u^\epsilon \rightarrow u\) in \(H^1_0(\Omega )\) and \(u^\epsilon _t \rightarrow u_t\) in \(L^2(\Omega )\). Therefore using this convergences, we have
Since \(u_t, g(u_t) \in L^2(\Omega )\), we easily check that
Recall that \(u_t \in L^{\rho +2}(\Omega )\) and \(f(u) \in L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\). By Lemma 3.2, we have \(u^\epsilon _t \rightarrow u_t\) in \(L^{\rho +2}(\Omega )\) and \(T^\epsilon (f(u)) \rightarrow f(u)\) in \(L^{\frac{\rho +2}{\rho +1}}(\Omega )\). Thus by Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem, we obtain
Convergences (3.42)-(3.44) permit us to pass to the limit in (3.41), consequently, the energy identity (2.7) holds.
4 Global Existence
In order to prove the global existence of solutions of (1.1), it suffices to show that \(||u_t||^2_2 + a(u,u) + ||u||^{\gamma +2}_{\gamma +2}\) is bounded independent of t. We now consider the following two cases:
4.1 \(\rho \ge \gamma \)
Using the energy identity (2.7), we have
By the same argument as (3.3), we have
Using the Hölder and Young inequalities with \(\frac{\gamma +1}{\gamma +2} + \frac{1}{\gamma +2} = 1\) and the imbedding \(L^{\rho +2}(\Omega ) \hookrightarrow L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )\), we deduce that
where \(C_{\rho +2}\) is an imbedding constant. By replacing (4.2) and (4.3) in (4.1) and using (2.2), we get
Let
and choosing \(\epsilon _1 = \frac{c_1}{2^{\rho +1}C^{\gamma +2}_{\rho +2}}\), then we rewrite (4.4) as
where \(C_9\) and \(C_{10}\) are positive constants. Now applying Gronwall’s inequality, we have that \({\widetilde{E}}(t) \le (C_{11} {\widetilde{E}}(0) + C_{12})e^{C_{11} t}\), where \(C_{11}\) and \(C_{12}\) are positive constants. Consequently, since \({\widetilde{E}}(0)\) is bounded we conclude that \(||u_t||^2_2 + a(u,u) + ||u||^{\gamma +2}_{\gamma +2}\) is bounded.
4.2 \(E(0) < d_0\) and \(a(u_0, u_0) < \lambda ^2_0\)
First of all, we will find a stable region. We set
and the functional
We also define the function, for \(\lambda > 0\),
then
is the absolute maximum point of j and
The energy associated to the problem (1.1) is given by
for \(u \in {\mathcal {H}}\). By (2.2) and (4.5)-(4.7), we deduce
Lemma 4.1
Let u be a weak solution for problem (1.1). Suppose that
Then
Proof
It is easy to verify that j is increasing for \(0< \lambda < \lambda _0\), decreasing for \(\lambda > \lambda _0\), \(j(\lambda ) \rightarrow -\infty \) as \(\lambda \rightarrow +\infty \). Then since \(d_0 > E(0) \ge j([a(u_0,u_0)]^{1/2}) \ge j(0) = 0\), there exist \(\lambda '_0< \lambda _0 < \tilde{\lambda _0}\), which verify
Considering that E(t) is nonincreasing, we have
From (4.8) and (4.9), we deduce that
Since \([a(u_0,u_0)]^{1/2} < \lambda _0\), \(\lambda '_0 < \lambda _0\) and j is increasing in \([0, \lambda _0)\), from (4.11) it holds that
Next, we will prove that
We argue by contradiction. Suppose that (4.13) does not hold. Then there exists time \(t^*\) which verifies
If \([a(u(t^*),u(t^*))]^{1/2} < \lambda _0\), from (4.8), (4.9) and (4.14) we can write
which contradicts (4.10).
If \([a(u(t^*),u(t^*))]^{1/2} \ge \lambda _0\), then we have, in view of (4.12), that there exists \(\bar{\lambda _0}\) which verifies
Consequently, from the continuity of the function \([a(u(\cdot ),u(\cdot ))]^{1/2}\) there exists \({\bar{t}} \in (0,t^*)\) verifying
Then from (4.8), (4.9), (4.15) and (4.16), we get
which also contradicts (4.10). This completes the proof of Lemma 4.1. \(\square \)
From (4.8) and Lemma 4.1, we arrive at
and, consequently,
By virtue of (4.17), we get
Hence
Therefore, there exists a positive constant \(C_{13}\) independent of t such that
Moreover, if we define the functional I(u(t)) by
then from the relationship \(I(u(t)) = (\gamma +2)J(u(t)) - \frac{\mu _0\gamma }{2} a(u(t),u(t))\) and the strict inequality (4.19), we obtain
Consequently, from (4.20) and (4.21) we have
This it the completion of the proof of the global existence of solutions of (1.1).
5 Energy Decay Rates
In this section we prove the uniform decay rates of problem (1.1). In the following section, the symbol C is a generic positive constant, which may be different in various occurrences. We define the energy associated to problem (1.1):
Then
it follows that E(t) is a nonincreasing function.
First of all, we recall technical lemmas which will play an essential role when establishing the energy decay rates.
Lemma 5.1
[38] Let \(E : \mathbb {R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+\) be a nonincreasing function and \(\phi : \mathbb {R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+\) a strictly increasing function of class \(C^1\) such that
Assume that there exists \(\sigma \ge 0\) and \(\omega >0\) such that
for all \(S \ge 0\). Then E has the following decay property:
Lemma 5.2
[38] Let \(E : \mathbb {R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+\) be a nonincreasing function and \(\phi : \mathbb {R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+\) a strictly increasing function of class \(C^1\) such that
Assume that there exists \(\sigma > 0\), \(\sigma ' \ge 0\) and \(C>0\) such that
Then, there exists \(C>0\) such that
Let us now multiply equation (1.1) by \(E^p(t) \phi '(t) u\), \(p \ge 0\) and \(\phi : \mathbb {R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+\) is a concave nondecreasing function of class \(C^2\), such that \(\phi (t) \rightarrow +\infty \) as \(t\rightarrow +\infty \), and then integrate the obtained result over \(\Omega \times [S, T]\). Then we have
By the definition of E(t), we can rewrite (5.1) as
Now we are going to estimate terms on the right hand side of (5.2).
\(Estimate ~~for~~ - \Bigl [E^p(t)\phi '(t) \int _\Omega u_t u dx \Bigr ]^T_S\);
Using Young’s and Poincaré’s inequalities, (2.6) and (4.18), we obtain
consequently,
\(Estimate ~~for~~ \int ^T_S \bigl (pE^{p-1}(t)E'(t) \phi '(t) + E^p(t) \phi ''(t) \bigr ) \int _\Omega u_t u dx dt\);
From (5.3), we have
\(Estimate ~~for~~ - \int ^T_S E^p(t) \phi '(t) \int _\Omega g(u_t) u dx dt\);
We will consider the following divided domain:
Using Young’s and Poincaré’s inequalities, (2.6) and (4.18), we have
On the other hand, by the Young inequality with \(\frac{\rho +1}{\rho +2} + \frac{1}{\rho +2} = 1\) and using the assumption \(\rho \ge \gamma \) we have
Hence, from (4.18) and (4.21) we get
\(Estimate ~~for~~ \frac{\gamma }{\gamma +2} \int ^T_S E^p(t) \phi '(t) ||u||^{\gamma +2}_{\gamma +2} dt\);
Using (4.18) and (4.21) we have
\(Estimate ~~for~~ 2\int ^T_S E^p(t) \phi '(t) ||u_t||^2_2 dt\);
From the definition of J(u) and E(t) and using (4.18), we have
By replacing (5.4)-(5.8) in (5.2), we obtain
Now we are going to estimate the last two terms with respect to g on the right hand side of (5.9).
5.1 Case 1 : \(\beta \) is Linear
Since \(\beta \) is linear, we can rewrite the hypothesis of g as follows:
for some positive constants \(c_3\), \(c_4\). Hence we get
and
Combining (5.9), (5.10) and (5.11), it follows that
which implies by Lemma 5.1 with \(p=0\)
Let us set \(\phi (t) := mt\), where m is for some positive constant, then \(\phi (t)\) satisfies all the required properties and we obtain that the energy decays exponentially to zero.
5.2 Case 2 : \(\beta \) has Polynomial Growth Near Zero
Assume that \(\beta (s) = s^{\rho +1}\). Let \(p = \frac{\rho }{2}\), then we rewrite (5.9) as
By the hypothesis of g and the Hölder inequality with \(\frac{2}{\rho +2} + \frac{\rho }{\rho +2} = 1\), we have
Hence
Similarly as (5.11) we have
By replacing (5.13) and (5.14) in (5.12) and choosing \(\epsilon _2\) sufficiently small, we get
which implies by Lemma 5.1 and choosing \(\phi (t) = mt\),
5.3 Case 3: \(\beta \) Does Not Necessarily Have Polynomial Growth Near Zero
We will use the method of partitions of domain modified the arguments in [38]. Let
For every \(t \ge 1\), we consider the following partitions of domain depending \(\phi '(t)\):
if \(\phi '(t) \le 1\), or
if \(\phi '(t) > 1\). Then \(\Omega _1 = \Omega ^1 \cup \Omega ^2\) (or \(\Omega ^4\)) and \(\Omega _2 = \Omega ^3\) (or \(\Omega ^5 \cup \Omega ^6\)).
(I) Part on \(\Omega ^i\), \(i = 3, 5, 6\).
By the same argument as (5.11), we get
consequently,
(II) Part on \(\Omega ^2\).
Using the fact \(\beta \) is increasing and (2.3), we obtain
(III) Part on \(\Omega ^i\), \(i = 1, 4\).
Using the fact E(t) is nonincreasing, \(\beta ^{-1}\) is increasing and (2.3), we have
By (5.16) and (5.17), it follows that
Therefore by replacing (5.15) and (5.18) in (5.9), we deduce that
To estimate the last term of the right hand side of (5.19), we need the following additional assumption over \(\phi \) (see [38], p.434):
Then we have from (5.19)
Define \(\psi (t) = 1 + \int ^t_1 \frac{1}{\beta (\frac{1}{s})} ds\), \(t \ge 1\). Then \(\psi \) is strictly increasing and convex (cf. [38, 42]). We now take \(\phi (t) = \psi ^{-1}(t)\), then we can rewrite (5.20) as
which implies, by applying Lemma 5.2 with \(p = 1\),
Let \(s_0\) be a number such that \( \beta (\frac{1}{s_0}) \le 1\). Since \(\beta \) is nondecreasing, we have
where \(F(s) = s\beta (s)\), consequently, having in mind that \(\phi = \psi ^{-1}\), the last inequality yields
Then we conclude that
Therefore the proof of Theorem 2.3 is completed.
6 Blow-Up
This section is devoted to prove the blow-up result. First of all, we introduce a following lemma that is essential role for proving the blow-up.
Lemma 6.1
Under the hypotheses given in Theorem 2.4 the weak solution to problem (1.1) verifies
Proof
We recall the function, for \(\lambda > 0\),
where \( K_0 = \sup _{u \in {\mathcal {H}}, u \ne 0} \Bigl (\frac{||u||_{\gamma +2}}{[a(u,u)]^{1/2}} \Bigr )\). Then
is the absolute maximum point of j and
The energy associated to problem (1.1) is given by
We observe that from the definition of j, we have
Note that j is increasing for \(0<\lambda <\lambda _0\), decreasing for \(\lambda > \lambda _0\), \(j(\lambda ) \rightarrow -\infty \) as \(\lambda \rightarrow +\infty \).
We will now consider the initial energy E(0) divided into two cases: \(E(0) \ge 0\) and \(E(0) < 0\).
Case 1 : \(E(0) \ge 0\).
There exist \(\lambda '_1< \lambda _0 < \lambda _1\) such that
By considering that E(t) is nonincreasing, we have
From (6.1) and (6.2) we deduce
Since \( [a(u_0,u_0)]^{1/2} > \lambda _0\), \(\lambda _0 < \lambda _1\) and \(j(\lambda )\) is decreasing for \(\lambda _0 < \lambda \), from (6.4) we get
Now we will prove that
by using the contradiction method. Suppose that (6.6) does not hold. Then there exists \(t^* \in (0, T_{\max })\) which verifies
If \( [a(u(t^*),u(t^*))]^{1/2} > \lambda _0\), from (6.1), (6.2) and (6.7) we can write
which contradicts (6.3).
If \( [a(u(t^*),u(t^*))]^{1/2} \le \lambda _0\), we have, in view of (6.5), that there exists \({\bar{\lambda }}\) which verifies
Consequently, from the continuity of the function \( [a(u(\cdot ),u(\cdot ))]^{1/2}\) there exists \({\bar{t}} \in (0,t^*)\) verifying \( [a(u({\bar{t}}),u({\bar{t}}))]^{1/2} = {\bar{\lambda }}\). Then from the last identity and taking (6.1), (6.2) and (6.8) into account we deduce
which also contradicts (6.3).
Case 2 : \(E(0) < 0\).
There is \(\lambda _2 > \lambda _0\) such that
consequently, by (6.1) we have
From the fact \(j(\lambda )\) is decreasing for \(\lambda _0 < \lambda \), we get
By the same argument as Case 1, we obtain
Thus the proof of Lemma 6.1 is completed. \(\square \)
Now we will prove the blow-up result. In order to prove that \(T_{\max }\) is necessarily finite, we argue by contradiction. Assume that the weak solution u(t) can be extended to the whole interval \([0, \infty )\).
Let \(E_1\) be a real number such that
By setting \(H(t) := E_1 - E(t)\), we have
which implies that H(t) is nondecreasing, consequently,
and from Lemma 6.1, (2.2) and the definition of \(d_0\),
We define
where \({\overline{\chi }}\) and \(\tau \) are small positive constants to be chosen later. Then we have
We are now going to analyze the last term on the right-hand side of (6.13).
Lemma 6.2
where \(C_{14}\) is for some positive constant, \(0< \chi < \frac{\gamma -\rho }{(\rho +2)(\gamma +2)}\), \(\theta = \gamma +2 - \epsilon _3\) with \(0< \epsilon _3 < \min \{1, \gamma \}\) and \(\zeta = \frac{(\gamma +1)meas(\Omega ) \bigl (\beta ^{-1}(1)\bigr )^\frac{\gamma +2}{\gamma +1}}{\gamma +2}\).
Proof
Using Eq. (1.1), we obtain
where \(\theta = \gamma +2 - \epsilon _3\) with \(0< \epsilon _3 < \min \{1, \gamma \}\).
We will estimate the last term on the right-hand side of (6.15). We note that
By using (2.3) and the imbedding \(L^{\gamma +2}(\Omega )\hookrightarrow L^{\rho +2}(\Omega )\), we have
On the other hand, by using (2.4), we obtain
where \(0< \chi < \frac{\gamma -\rho }{(\rho +2)(\gamma +2)}\) and \(C(\epsilon _4)\), \(\epsilon _4\) are for some positive constants. Moreover \(\chi < \frac{\gamma -\rho }{(\rho +2)(\gamma +2)}\) implies that \((\chi +\frac{1}{\gamma +2})(\rho +2)< 1\). Hence we get
From (6.10) and (6.11) we have
and, consequently, from (2.4), (6.9), (6.11) and (6.17),
for \(0< {\overline{\chi }} < \chi \). From (6.16) and (6.18), we get that
where \(\zeta = \frac{(\gamma +1)meas(\Omega ) \bigl (\beta ^{-1}(1)\bigr )^\frac{\gamma +2}{\gamma +1}}{\gamma +2}\).
By replacing (6.19) in (6.15) and choosing \(\epsilon _4\) small enough we obtain
where \(C_{15}\) is a positive constant. Therefore (6.14) follows. \(\square \)
The following Lemma estimates the last three terms on the right-hand side of (6.14).
Lemma 6.3
where \(\eta = \frac{\mu _0\lambda ^2_0}{2} - E_1\) and \(\ell = \frac{\gamma \mu _0\lambda ^2_0}{2} - (\gamma +2) E_1\).
Proof
From Lemma 5.1 and the definition of \(\theta \), we have
We note that
and
Since (2.9) holds, we get
Therefore, \(P(\epsilon _3)\) represents a curve connecting horizontal axis points \(\frac{\ell - \sqrt{\ell ^2 - 4\eta \zeta }}{2\eta }\) and \(\frac{\ell + \sqrt{\ell ^2 - 4\eta \zeta }}{2\eta }\), and
Thus we obtain
\(\square \)
Combining (6.13), (6.14), (6.20) and then choosing \(0< {\overline{\chi }} < \min \{\frac{1}{2}, \chi \}\) and \(\tau \) small enough, we obtain
where \(C_{16}\) is a positive constant, which implies that M(t) is a positive increasing function. By same arguments as p.333 in [16], we have
where \(C_{17}\) is a positive constant and \(1< \frac{1}{1-{\overline{\chi }}} < 2\). Hence we conclude that M(t) blows up in finite time and u also blows up in finite time. Thus this is a contradiction, consequently, the proof of Theorem 2.4 is completed.
