Weak-strong uniqueness for a specific class of cross-diffusion models with volume filling

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^d\), \(d\ge 1\), with Lipschitz boundary and a function \(q\in C^3([0,1])\) satisfying \(q(0)>0\) and \(q'(s)>0\) for \(s\in (0,1]\). A weak-strong uniqueness result is established for the cross-diffusion system\N\begin{align*}\N\partial_t u_i & = D_i \operatorname{div}\big( q(u_0) \nabla u_i - u_i q'(u_0) \nabla u_0 \big), \qquad t>0, \ x\in \Omega, \ 1 \le i \le n, \\\Nu_0 & = 1 - \sum_{i=1}^n u_i,\N\end{align*}\Nsupplemented with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and initial conditions \(u^0=(u_i^0)_{1\le i \le n}\) satisfying\N\[\N0 \le u_i^0 \le 1, \quad 1\le i \le n,\text{ and }\sum_{i=1}^n u_i^0 \le 1,\N\]\Nthe diffusion coefficients \(D_i\) being all positive. The proof relies on the entropy structure of the system with entropy\N\[\Nh(u) = \sum_{i=1}^n [u_i(\ln{u_i}-1)] + L\left( 1-\sum_{i=1}^n u_i \right) \text{ where }L(r) := \int_a^r \ln{q(s)}\ ds,\N\]\Nand approximation arguments to cope with the singularity of the logarithm at zero. The weak-strong uniqueness obtained is restricted to strong solutions being bounded away from zero on their existence interval.
