• Abstract

For the initial-boundary value problem to the 2 × 2 damped p-system with nonlinear source, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} &v_t-u_x=0, \\ &u_t+p(v)_x=-α u-β |u|^{q-1}u,q\;\geq\;2 \\ &(v, u)|_t=0(v_0, u_0)(x) → (v_+, u_+)\;\;as x → +∞,\\ &u_{x=0}=0, u_+\neq0, \end{cases} \quad (x,t)∈\mathbb{R}_+×\mathbb{R}_+, \end{equation*} when β › 0, or β ‹ 0 but |β| ‹ \frac{α}{|u_+|^{q-1}}, the solution (v, u)(x, t) is proved to globally exist and converge to the solution of the corresponding porous media equations \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} &\bar{v}_t-\bar{u}_x=0, \\ &p_(\bar{v})_x=-α\bar{u}, \\ &\bar{v}|_t=0\bar{v}0(x) → v_+\;\;as x →+∞,\\ &\bar{v}|_x=0, \end{cases} \quad (x,t)\in\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}_+, \end{equation*} with a specially selected initial data \bar{v}0(x). The optimal convergence rates \|\partial^k_x(v-\bar{v},u-\bar{u})(t)\|_L^2=0(1)(t^{-\frac{2k+3}{4}}, t^{-\frac{2k+5}{4}}), k = 0, 1, are also obtained, as the initial perturbation is in L^1(\mathbb{R}_+)\cap H^3(\mathbb{R}_+). If the initial perturbation is in the weighted space L^{1,\gamma}(\mathbb{R}_+)\cap H^3(\mathbb{R}_+) with the best choice of \gamma=\frac{1} {4} , some new and much better decay rates are further obtained: \|\partial^k_x(v-\bar{v})(t)\|_L^2=0(1+t)^{-\frac{2k+3}{4}-\frac{\gamma}{2}}, k = 0, 1. The proof is based on the technical weighted energy method combining with the Green function method. However, when β ‹ 0 and |β| › \frac{α}{|u_+|^{q-1}}, then the solution will blow up at a finite time. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to confirm the theoretical results by using the central-upwind scheme. In particular, the interest phenomenon of coexistence of the global solution v(x, t) and the blow-up solution u(x, t) is observed and numerically demonstrated.
