Global large time self-similarity of a thermal-diffusive combustion system with critical nonlinearity (Q1924446)

The following initial value problem of the thermal-diffusive cumbustion system \[ \begin{aligned} u_{1,t} &=u_{1,xx}-u_1u^2_2\\ u_{2,t} &=du_{2,xx}+u_1u^2_2\end{aligned}\Biggr\} x\in\mathbb{R}\tag{1} \] is considered. The authors prove that if the initial data decay to zero sufficiently fast at infinity, then the solution \((u_1,u_2)\) converges to a self-similar solution of the reduced system \(u_{1,t}=u_{1,xx}- u_1u^2_2\), \(u_{2,t}=du_{2,xx}\) in the large time limit, and obtain the following main result: Let \(B\) be the Banach space of continuous functions on \(\mathbb{R}\) with norm \[ |f|:=\sup_{u\in\mathbb{R}} |f(x)|(1+|x|)^q.\tag{2} \] Consider initial data \((a_1,a_2)\in{\mathcal B}\times{\mathcal B}\), \(a_i\not\equiv 0\), \(a_i\geq 0\), \(i=1,2\). Let \(A=\int_{\mathbb{R}}(a_1(x)+a_2(x))dx\), the total mass of the system, which is conserved in time. Then system (1) has a unique global classical solution \((u_1(x,t),u_2(x,t))\in {\mathcal B}\times{\mathcal B}\) for \(\forall t\geq 0\). Moreover, there exists a \(g(A)\) such that, if \(g\geq g(A)\) in (2), there is a positive number \(B\) depending continuously on \((a_1,a_2)\) such that \[ |t^{1/2+EA}u_1(\sqrt t\cdot,t)- B\psi_A(\cdot)|@>>t\uparrow\infty>0,\;|t^{1/2}u_2(\sqrt t\cdot,t)- A\phi(\cdot)|@>>t\uparrow\infty>0. \]
