Convergence to diffusion waves for nonlinear evolution equations with ellipticity and damping, and with different end states (Q2505385)

The authors study the existence of global solutions to the following system \[ \psi_t=-(1-\alpha)\psi-\theta_x+\alpha\psi_{xx}, \theta_t=-(1-\alpha)\theta+\nu\psi_x+(\psi\theta)_x+\alpha\theta_{xx}, \] where \(0<\alpha<1,0<\nu<4\alpha(1-\alpha).\) They show that the Cauchy problem for the above system admits a global solution if the initial data are sufficiently small in the \(L^2-\)norm and vanish at infinity.
