Convergence to equilibrium for linear parabolic systems coupled by matrix‐valued potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider systems of parabolic linear equations, subject to Neumann boundary conditions on bounded domains in mathbbRd, that are coupled by a matrix-valued potential V, and investigate under which conditions each solution to such a system converges to an equilibrium as toinfty. While this is clearly a fundamental question about systems of parabolic equations, it has been studied, up to now, only under certain positivity assumptions on the potential V. Without positivity, Perron-Frobenius theory cannot be applied and the problem is seemingly wide open. In the present article, we address this problem for all potentials that are ellp-dissipative for some pin[1,infty]. While the case p=2 can be treated by classical Hilbert space methods, the matter becomes more delicate for pot=2. We solve this problem by employing recent spectral theoretic results that are closely tied to the geometric structure of Lp-spaces.
