Large time asymptotics for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems (Q717431): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with the long time asymptotics for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems. First, linear systems are analyzed and then existence of global solutions for nonlinear systems is discussed. The role of theoretical control tools is examined, and the proof of decay using Lyapunov functionals is developed. A general statement giving a decomposition for the solutions is established. The existence of global (in time) smooth solutions for the nonlinear systems around a constant equilibrium is studied. As an illustration, a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems with relaxation is considered, and its uniform well posedness with respect to the relaxation parameter is established.
