Heat equation inequality












2












$begingroup$


Let $u in C^{1}(0,infty) times C^{1}[0,1]$ be a solution to heat equation (1) with inital boundaries (2),(3)



(1) $partial_tu(t,x)-partial_{xx}u(t,x)=0$, for all $(t,x) in[0,infty)times[0,1]$



(2) $u(t,0)=u(t,1)=0,$ for $t in[0,infty]$



(3) $u(0,x)=u_{0}(x),$ for $xin[0,1]$




Show that there exists constants $C_{1},C_{2}$ such that
$$
int_{0}^{1}u^2(t,x)dx leq C_{1}e^{-tC_2};text{ for all }tgeq0
$$




Thoughts
I want to get this into a form where I can apply Wirtinger's inequality for functions: I tried by multiplying the through by $u(t,x)$ and intergrating but I couldn't get it out that way, so I'm not sure how to solve this.

As mentioned in the comnents, I don't feel totally clear on the differentiability conditions stipulated for $u(x, t)$, so I assume $u(x, t) in C^2([0, 1] times [0, infty))$; this seems to suffice for the present application.



We first develop a couple of useful identities; as usual



$u_x = dfrac{partial u}{partial x}, tag 1$



and so forth.



First,



$(u^2)_{xx} = (2uu_x)_x = 2(uu_x)_x = 2(u_x^2 + uu_{xx}) = 2u_x^2 + 2uu_{xx}; tag 2$



second, by virtue of $u_t = u_{xx}$,



$(u^2)_t = 2uu_t = 2uu_{xx} = (u^2)_{xx} - 2u_x^2 = 2(uu_x)_x - 2u_x^2; tag 3$



we have



$dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx = int_0^1 (u^2)_t ; dx$
$= displaystyle int_0^1 (2(uu_x)_x - 2u_x^2) ; dx = 2int_0^1 (uu_x)_x ; dx - 2 int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx; tag 4$



we next take note of the fact that



$displaystyle int_0^1 (uu_x)_x ; dx = u(1, t)u_x(1, t) - u(1, t) u_x(0, t) = 0, tag 5$



which follows from boundary condition (2); thus,



$dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx = displaystyle int_0^1 (u^2)_t ; dx = -2 int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx. tag 6$



We are now in position to apply the Wirtinger inequality to the integral on the right of this equation and find



$displaystyle pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx le int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx, tag 7$



which we multiply by $-2$:



$-2 displaystyle int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx le -2pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx; tag 8$



in combination with (6) this yields



$dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2; dx le -2pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx, tag 9$



to which we may apply Gronwall:



$displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx le left ( int_0^1 u^2(x, 0) ; dx right ) e^{-2pi^2 t} = left ( int_0^1 u_0^2 ; dx right ) e^{-2pi^2 t} , tag{10}$



and arrive at the desired result. $OEDelta$.

    A power-like estimate follows easily from my previous argument, which provides a uniform estimate on [0,1]. If you need an exponential decay for the $L_2$ norm, your argument is the right one of course. I just went with the easiest way to get what was needed.

$begingroup$

Let's assume your solution has the regularity required by the equation. A way to get an estimate of this form is as follows: Consider a shifted multiple of the fundamental solution $G$, $w(x,t)=MG(x,t+1)$. For large enough $M$, $w(x,0)=MG(x,1)ge u_0$. These shifted and rescaled Gaussians are solutions to your equation in all of $[0,infty)timesmathbb{R}$. Therefore they are solutions on $[0,infty)times[0,1]$ (with boundary data equal $w(t,0)>0$ and $w(t,1)>0$). By the parabolic comparison principle, the solution to your equation will be below $w$ at all times, $u(x,t)le w(x,t)$ and, for $xin[0,1]$, $w(x,t)le Ct^{-1/2}$ where $C=M/{sqrt{4pi}}$.



As a consequence,
$$
intlimits_0^1 u^2(x,t), dxle C^2t^{-1}
$$

    As mentioned in the comnents, I don't feel totally clear on the differentiability conditions stipulated for $u(x, t)$, so I assume $u(x, t) in C^2([0, 1] times [0, infty))$; this seems to suffice for the present application.



    We first develop a couple of useful identities; as usual



    $u_x = dfrac{partial u}{partial x}, tag 1$



    and so forth.



    First,



    $(u^2)_{xx} = (2uu_x)_x = 2(uu_x)_x = 2(u_x^2 + uu_{xx}) = 2u_x^2 + 2uu_{xx}; tag 2$



    second, by virtue of $u_t = u_{xx}$,



    $(u^2)_t = 2uu_t = 2uu_{xx} = (u^2)_{xx} - 2u_x^2 = 2(uu_x)_x - 2u_x^2; tag 3$



    we have



    $dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx = int_0^1 (u^2)_t ; dx$
    $= displaystyle int_0^1 (2(uu_x)_x - 2u_x^2) ; dx = 2int_0^1 (uu_x)_x ; dx - 2 int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx; tag 4$



    we next take note of the fact that



    $displaystyle int_0^1 (uu_x)_x ; dx = u(1, t)u_x(1, t) - u(1, t) u_x(0, t) = 0, tag 5$



    which follows from boundary condition (2); thus,



    $dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx = displaystyle int_0^1 (u^2)_t ; dx = -2 int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx. tag 6$



    We are now in position to apply the Wirtinger inequality to the integral on the right of this equation and find



    $displaystyle pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx le int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx, tag 7$



    which we multiply by $-2$:



    $-2 displaystyle int_0^1 u_x^2 ; dx le -2pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx; tag 8$



    in combination with (6) this yields



    $dfrac{d}{dt} displaystyle int_0^1 u^2; dx le -2pi^2 int_0^1 u^2 ; dx, tag 9$



    to which we may apply Gronwall:



    $displaystyle int_0^1 u^2(x, t) ; dx le left ( int_0^1 u^2(x, 0) ; dx right ) e^{-2pi^2 t} = left ( int_0^1 u_0^2 ; dx right ) e^{-2pi^2 t} , tag{10}$



    and arrive at the desired result. $OEDelta$.

      A power-like estimate follows easily from my previous argument, which provides a uniform estimate on [0,1]. If you need an exponential decay for the $L_2$ norm, your argument is the right one of course. I just went with the easiest way to get what was needed.

    Let's assume your solution has the regularity required by the equation. A way to get an estimate of this form is as follows: Consider a shifted multiple of the fundamental solution $G$, $w(x,t)=MG(x,t+1)$. For large enough $M$, $w(x,0)=MG(x,1)ge u_0$. These shifted and rescaled Gaussians are solutions to your equation in all of $[0,infty)timesmathbb{R}$. Therefore they are solutions on $[0,infty)times[0,1]$ (with boundary data equal $w(t,0)>0$ and $w(t,1)>0$). By the parabolic comparison principle, the solution to your equation will be below $w$ at all times, $u(x,t)le w(x,t)$ and, for $xin[0,1]$, $w(x,t)le Ct^{-1/2}$ where $C=M/{sqrt{4pi}}$.



    As a consequence,
    $$
    intlimits_0^1 u^2(x,t), dxle C^2t^{-1}
    $$
