TL;DR
This work analyzes the large-time behavior of the Euler-Fourier system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^d$ under a critical $L^2$ framework. By reformulating around the equilibrium with perturbations $(a,u,\theta)$ and employing a time-weighted $L^2$ energy method together with a Lyapunov functional built from Besov-space product estimates, the authors obtain optimal decay rates without requiring smallness of low-frequency data. They prove global existence for small data in $L^2$-critical hybrid Besov spaces and establish decay in negative Besov norms, including a damped mode in $u$ that decays faster than the full solution. The results advance the understanding of decay mechanisms in dissipative hyperbolic-parabolic systems at critical regularity and provide precise rate estimates via low- and high-frequency analyses and negative Besov control.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to the Euler-Fourier system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^{d}~(d\geq1)$. A time-weighted energy argument has been developed within the $L^2$ framework to derive the optimal time-decay rates, which enables us to remove the smallness of low-frequencies of initial data. A great part of our analysis relies on the study of a Lyapunov functional in the spirit of [13], which mainly depends on some elaborate use of non-classical Besov product estimates and interpolations. Exhibiting a damped mode with faster time decay than the whole solution also plays a key role.
