Convergence to strong nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions to \(p\)-system with damping on quadrant (Q2378183)

This interesting paper is devoted to the asymptotic behavior and convergence rates of solutions to the \(p\)-system \[ v_t-u_t=0,\qquad u_t+p(v)_x=-\alpha u , \] with linear damping on a quadrant, where \( (t,x)\in \mathbb R^{+}\times \mathbb R^{+}\) with the initial data \[ (v(x,0), u(x,0))=(v_0(x), u_0(x))\to (v_{+},u_{+}), \qquad v_{+}>0, \;x\to +\infty , \] and with the null-Dirichlet boundary condition \(u|_{x=0}=0\). It is shown that for a certain class of given large initial data \((v_0(x),u_0(x))\), the corresponding initial-boundary value problem admits a unique global smooth solution \((v(x,t),u(x,t))\) and such a solution tends time-asymptotically, at the \(L^p\) (\(2\leq p\leq +\infty \)) optimal decay rates, to the corresponding nonlinear diffusion wave \((\tilde{v}(x,t),\tilde{u}(x,t))\) which satisfies the porous media equation \[ \begin{aligned} &\tilde{v}_t-\tilde{u}_x=0,\qquad x\in \mathbb R^{+},\;t>0,\\ &p'(v_{+})\tilde{v}_x=-\alpha \tilde{u},\\ &\tilde{u}|_{x=0}=0,\quad (\tilde{v},\tilde{u})|_{x=\infty }=(v_{+},0)\end{aligned} \] provided the corresponding prescribed initial error function \((V_0(x),U_0(x))\) lies in the class \((H^3(\mathbb R^{+})\cap L^1(\mathbb R^{+}))\times (H^2(\mathbb R^{+})\cap L^1(\mathbb R^{+}))\).
