Chapter 3
Global Existence and Energy Decay
Abstract
In this chapter, we prove that the solution obtained in the
second chapter (Local solution ) is global in time: In addition, we show that
the energy of solutions decays exponentially if m = 2 and polynomial if m >
2, provided that the initial data are small enough. The existence of the source
term ( u p-2 u) forces us to use the potential well depth method in which the
concept of so-called stable set appears. We will make use of arguments in [44]
with the necessary modifications imposed by the nature of our problem.
3.1 Global Existence Result
In order to state and prove our results, we introduce the
functional
0 t
I(t) = I(u(t)) = 1 -- I g(s)ds) 11Vu(t)1122
+ (g 0 Vu)(t) -- b11u(t)11pp , (3.1)
0
and
t
J(t) = J(u(t)) = 1 2 (1-- f g(s)ds 11V
u(t)1122 + 2(g 0 Vu)(t) -- b
11u(t)rp , (3.2)
0
for u(t, x) E 110 (Q) , t > 0.
As in [19], the potential well depth, is defined as
d = inf
uEHJ, (12)\{0}
|
sup
A>0
|
J (Au) . (3.3)
|
The functional energy associated to (P) is defined as fallows
E(u(t),ut(t)) = E(t) = 2 1 11ut(t)1122 +
J(t). (3.4)
Now, we introduce the stable set as follows:
W = {u E 110 (Q) : J(u) < d, I(u) >
01 U {0} . (3.5)
We will prove the invariance of the set W. That is if for some to
> 0 if u(to) E W, then u(t) E W, Vt > to.
Lemma 3.1.1 d is positive constant. Proof. We have
2 t
J(Au) = A 2 ( 1 -- I g(s)ds) 11V u(t)g + (g 0 V u)(t)
b) -- pAp 11u(t)rp P. (3.6)
0
Using (G1), (G2) to get
J(Au) > K(A),
A2 2 b
where K(A) = 2 l 11Vu112 -- pAp
11u11pp .
By differentiating the second term in the last equality with
respect to A, to get
dAK(A) = Al lV42
d 2 -- bAp-1 Mukpp . (3.7)

For, Al = 0 and A2 =
|
(111V ug) b Mukpp
|
p-2
, then we have
|
d dAK(A) = O.
As K(Ai) = 0, we have
K(A2) =
|
1 (/ 11Vu112)

By Sobolev-Poincare's inequality, we deduce that K(A2) > 0.
Then, we obtain
sup {J(Au), A > 0} > sup {K(A), A > 0}
> 0. (3.9)
Then, by the definition of d, we conclude that d > 0.
Lemma 3.1.2 ([19]) W is a bounded neighbourhood of 0 in
l10 (a).
Proof. For u 2 W, and u 0, we have
t
(g(s)ds 11V u(t)112 + 2 (g o V u)(t) -- pb Ilu(t)rp
J(t) = 21 1 -- I

--> (13 2-132) [(1 -- I g(s)ds) 11V
u(t)1122 + (g 0 V u)(t)1 .
0 (3.10)
By using (G1) and (G2) then (3.10) becomes
t
J(t) > (p 2p2) 1 -- I g(s)ds) 11V
u(t)1122
0
> l (p 2p2) 11Vu(t)g
then,
11V u(t)g < lp -- ( 2p 2)
J(t)
< lp -- ( 2p)
d = R. 2
Consequently, Vu 2 W we have u 2 B where
B = {u 2 A:1(Q) : 1Vu(t)122 < RI .
(3.11)
This completes the proof. Now, we will show that our local
solution u(t, x) is global in time, for this purpose it suffices to prove that
the norm of the solution is bounded, independently of t, this is equivalent to
prove the following theorem.
Theorem 3.1.1 Suppose that (G1) , (G2) and (2.3) hold. if uo 2 W,
u1 2 A10 (Q) and

where C. is the best Poincare's constant. Then the local
solution u(t, x) is global in time. Remark 3.1.1 Let us remark, that if there
exists to 2 [0, T) such that u(to) 2 W and ut(to) 2 Aj(Q) and condition (3.12)
holds for to. Then the same result of theorem 3.1.1 stays true.
Before we prove our results, we need the following Lemma, which
means that, our energy is uniformly bounded and decreasing along the
trajectories.
Lemma 3.1.3 ([44]) Suppose that (G1) , (G2), (2.3) hold, and
let (uo, ui) 2 (Aj(Q))2. Let u(t, x) be the solution of (P), then
the modified energy E(t) is non-increasing function for almost every t 2 [0,
T), and
d 1
dt m E(t) = --allut(t) II- #177; 2 (g' o
Vu) (t) - 2 g (t) 11V u(t)1122 - w
11out(t)112
(3.13)
< 0, Vt 2 [0, T).
Proof. By multiplying the differential equation in (P) by ut and
integration over a we obtain
2
Ilut(t)g 2 + 1 (1 -- I g(s)ds ) 11V u(t)g +
1 2(g o Vu)(t) -- b Ilu(t)rp 0

(g' o Vu) (t) < 0, Vt 2 [0, T) . By the definition
of E(t), we conclude
d dt
E(t) < 0. (3.14)
This completes the proof. The following lemma tells us that if
the initial data ( or for some to > 0) is in the sat W, then the solution
stays there forever.
Lemma 3.1.4 ([44]) Suppose that (G1) , (G2) , (2.3) and (3.12)
hold. If u0 2 W, u1 2 1/(1- (a), then the solution u(t) 2
W, Vt > 0.
Proof. Since uo 2 W, then
I(o) = Ilvuo g -- Mud; > 0,
consequently, by continuity, there exists T,, < T such that
t
0
(I (u (t)) = 1 -- I g(s)ds 11V u(t)g + (g 0 Vu)(t) --
bllu(t)rp > 0, Vt 2 [0, Trri] .
This gives

We then exploit (G1) , (3.12) , (3.16) , and we note that
thembedding l10ij (a) c-- LP (a), we have
Ilu(t)11p < CIIVu(t)112 (3.17)

for 2 < p <

This shows that the solution u(t) 2 W, for all t 2 [0,
Trn] . By repeating this procedure Tm extended to T.
Proof of Theorem 3.1.1.
In order to prove theorem 3.1.1, it suffices to show that the
following norm
Ivu(t)I2 + 1174(0112 , (3.22)
is bounded independently of t.
To achieve this, we use (3.4) , (3.14) and (3.15) to get

since I(t) and (g o Vu)(t) are positive, hence
1vu(01222 +
mut(t)k22g < CE(0),
where C is a positive constant depending only on p and 1.
This completes the proof of theorem 3.1.1.
The following lemma is very useful
Lemma 3.1.5 ([44]) Suppose that (2.3) and (3.12) hold. Then
