Asymptotic study of the 2D-DQGE solutions (Q403250)

Summary: We study the regularity of the solutions of the surface quasi-geostrophic equation with subcritical exponent \(1/2<\alpha\leq 1\). We prove that if the initial data is small enough in the critical space \(\dot{H}^{2-2\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^2)\), then the regularity of the solution is of exponential growth type with respect to time and its \(\dot{H}^{2-2\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^2)\) norm decays exponentially fast. It becomes then infinitely differentiable with respect to time and has values in all homogeneous Sobolev spaces \(\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^2)\) for \(s\geq 2-2\alpha\). Moreover, we give some general properties of the global solutions.
