Exponential decay towards equilibrium and global classical solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider a system of reaction-diffusion equations describing the reversible reaction of two species mathcalU,mathcalV forming a third species mathcalW and vice versa according to mass action law kinetics with arbitrary stochiometric coefficients (equal or larger than one). Firstly, we prove existence of global classical solutions via improved duality estimates under the assumption that one of the diffusion coefficients of mathcalU or mathcalV is sufficiently close to the diffusion coefficient of mathcalW. Secondly, we derive an entropy entropy-dissipation estimate, that is a functional inequality, which applied to global solutions of these reaction-diffusion system proves exponential convergence to equilibrium with explicit rates and constants.
