Optimal time-decay for Euler-Fourier system with damping in the critical $L^2$ framework

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.
