Approximate controllability and Irreducibility of the transition semigroup associated with Convective Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy Equations

Sagar Gautam, Manil T. Mohan

Abstract

In this article, the following controlled convective Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy (CBFeD) system is considered in a $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$: \begin{align*} \frac{\partial\boldsymbol{y}}{\partial t}-μΔ\boldsymbol{y}+(\boldsymbol{y}\cdot\nabla)\boldsymbol{y}+α\boldsymbol{y}+β\vert \boldsymbol{y}\vert^{r-1}\boldsymbol{y}+γ\vert \boldsymbol{y}\vert ^{q-1}\boldsymbol{y}+\nabla p=\boldsymbol{g}+\boldsymbol{u},\ \nabla\cdot\boldsymbol{y}=0, \end{align*} where $d\in\{2,3\}$, $μ,α,β>0$, $γ\in\mathbb{R}$, $r,q\in[1,\infty)$ with $r>q\geq 1$ and $\boldsymbol{u}$ is the control. For the super critical ($r>3$) and critical ($r=3$ with $2βμ>1$) cases, we first show the approximate controllability of the above system in the usual energy space (divergence-free $\mathbb{L}^2(\mathbb{T}^d)$ space). As an application of the approximate controllability result, we establish the irreducibility of the transition semigroup associated with stochastic CBFeD system perturbed by non-degenerate Gaussian noise in the usual energy space by exploiting the regularity of solutions, smooth approximation of the multi-valued map $\mathrm{sgn}(\cdot)$ a density argument and monotonicity properties of the linear and nonlinear operators.

For the super critical () and critical ( with ) cases, we first show the approximate controllability of the above system in the usual energy space (divergence-free space). As an application of the approximate controllability result, we establish the irreducibility of the transition semigroup associated with stochastic CBFeD system perturbed by non-degenerate Gaussian noise in the usual energy space by exploiting the regularity of solutions, smooth approximation of the multi-valued map a density argument and monotonicity properties of the linear and nonlinear operators.

Proposition 2.1

For $d=2,3$ with $r>3$, define the operator $\Gamma(\cdot):\mathrm{D}(\mathcal{M})\to\mathbb{H}$ by where $\mathrm{D}(\Gamma)=\{\boldsymbol{y}\in\mathbb{V}\cap\widetilde{\mathbb{L}}^{r+1}:\mathrm{A}\boldsymbol{y}\in\mathbb{H}\}.$ Then, $\mathrm{D}(\Gamma)=\mathrm{D}(\mathrm{A})$ and $\Gamma$ is quasi-$m$-accretive in $\mathbb{H}$ for sufficiently large $\kappa\geq\eta_1+\eta_2+\eta_3$ such that
