چکیده

This paper is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem for linear and semilinear thermoelastic systems with second sound in three space dimensions with discontinuous initial data. Due to Cattaneo’s law, replacing Fourier’s law for heat conduction, the thermoelastic system with second sound is hyperbolic. We investigate the behavior of discontinuous solutions as the relaxation parameter tends to zero, which corresponds to a formal convergence of the system to the hyperbolic-parabolic type of classical thermoelasticity. By studying expansions with respect to the relaxation parameter of the jumps of the potential part of the system on the evolving characteristic surfaces, we obtain that the jump of the temperature goes to zero while the jumps of the heat flux and the gradient of the potential part of the elastic wave are propagated along the characteristic curves of the elastic fields when the relaxation parameter goes to zero. An interesting phenomenon is when time goes to infinity: the behavior will depend on the mean curvature of the initial surface of discontinuity. These jumps decay exponentially when time goes to infinity, more rapidly for a smaller heat conductive coefficient in linear problems and in nonlinear problems when certain growth conditions are imposed on the nonlinear functions.

The equations of thermoelasticity with time-dependent coefficients

We consider an inhomogeneous thermoelastic system with second sound in one space dimension where the coe cients are spaceand time-dependent. For Dirichlet-Neumann type boundary conditions the global existence of smooth solutions is proved by using the theory of Kato. Then the asymptotic behavior of the solutions is discussed.

Large-time Behavior of Entropy Solutions of Conservation Laws

We are concerned with the large-time behavior of discontinuous entropy solutions for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We present two analytical approaches and explore their applications to the asymptotic problems for discontinuous entropy solutions. These approaches allow the solutions of arbitrarily large oscillation without apriori assumption on the ways from which the solutions come....

Formation of singularities in one-dimensional thermoelasticity with second sound

We investigate the formation of singularities in thermoelasticity with second sound. Transforming into Euler coordinates and combining ideas from Sideris [14], used for compressible fluids, and Tarabek [15], used for small data large time existence in second sound models, we are able to show that there are in general no global smooth solutions for large initial data. In contrast to the situatio...

Asymptotic behavior of a system of two difference equations of exponential form

In this paper, we study the boundedness and persistence of the solutions, the global stability of the unique positive equilibrium point and the rate of convergence of a solution that converges to the equilibrium $E=(bar{x}, bar{y})$ of the system of two difference equations of exponential form: begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=dfrac{a+e^{-(bx_n+cy_n)}}{d+bx_n+cy_n}, y_{n+1}=dfrac{a+e^{-(by_n+cx_n)}}{d+...
