Linear Inviscid Damping in Sobolev and Gevrey Spaces

Abstract

In a recent article Jia established linear inviscid damping in Gevrey regularity for compactly supported Gevrey regular shear flows in a finite channel, which is of great interest in view of existing nonlinear results. In this article we provide an alternative very short proof of stability in Gevrey regularity as a consequence of stability in high Sobolev regularity. Here, we consider both the setting of a finite channel with compactly supported perturbations and of an infinite channel without this restriction. Furthermore, we consider the setting where perturbations vanish only of finite order.
