Asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws with slowly varying external forces (Q2433985)

The author considers the existence and large-time behavior of solutions to the convection-diffusion equation \[ u_t-\Delta u+ b()\cdot\nabla(u|u|^{q-1})= f(x,t), \] where the forcing term \(f(x, t)\) is slowly decaying in \(t\) and \(q\geq 1+{1\over n}\) (or in some particular cases \(q\geq 1\)). The initial condition \(u_0\) belongs to in an appropriate \(L^p\) space. The author proves uniform and nonuniform decay of the solutions depending on the data and on the forcing term. The proof is based on energy estimates obtained by the Fourier-splitting technique. The novelty lies in the fact that the most of previous authors considered only zero or time-independent forcing term \(f\).
