Abstract The renormalization techniques for determining the long-time asymptotics of nonlinear parabolic equations pioneered by Bricmont, Kupiainen and Lin are shown to be effective in analyzing nonlinear wave equations featuring both dissipation and dispersion. These methods allow us to recover recent results of Dix in a way which is both transparent and has interesting prospects for generalization.

The initial-value problem (1.1)~(1.2) is always %?~(k) = - I k I 2pA locally well posed, but for larger values of p and large initial data, it appears that it may not be globally well posed (see Bona et al. [1,2]). If attention is restricted to small initial data, then (l.l)-(1.2) is globally well posed and it is not difficult to see in this case that solutions decay to the zero function as t becomes unboundedly large. It is our purpose here to determine the detailed structure of this evanescence.

This program has already been carried out in the elegant paper of Dix [4] (see also Naumkin and Shishmarev [5] for the case p = 1). We will show how some of Dix’s results follow readily from a suitable adaptation of the renormalization techniques put forward by Bricmont et al. [3] in the context of nonlinear parabolic equations. While the results obtained in this way are no more telling than those of Dix, they are here obtained in a transparent and appealing way. Furthermore, this method appears to be a promising avenue of approach for the derivation of more refined aspects of the long-time asymptotics of solutions. The principle result derived herein is easily motivated by consideration of the linear initial-value problem u, - MU + MU,,, = 0, u(.G 1) =f&), with parameter

Remark. A careful look at the proof in Section 3 will convince the reader that the theory could

be formulated in a sharper way, in which for a given p, the decay results in (1.8) are valid for any p 2 2p. In applications of (1.1) to physical problems, the dependent variable is real-valued and consequently non-integer values of p are seen to be somewhat artificial. If non-integer p are contemplated, a complex-valued version of the theory for (l.l)-(1.2) would be required. In consequence, we have eschewed the extra precision that might be possible in favor of the simpler development that is available for integer values of p. The plan of the paper is straightforward. In Section 2 detailed consideration is given to the linear initial-value problem (1.3). This discussion leads naturally to the introduction of a particular weighted norm that turns out to be very useful in the analysis. The theory for the linear problem is both instructive and useful when attention is turned to the nonlinear problem in Sections 3 and 4. The paper concludes with a short summary and suggestions for further inquiry.

2. Norms and the linear problem The approach taken is to apply the renormalization group ideas of Bricmont et al. [3] to the equation (1.1). It is convenient to start with the linear equation (1.3) since the theory for this simple situation already deviates from that of Bricmont et al. [3], because the main ideas appear in bold relief, avoiding the technicalities associated with the nonlinear term, and because use will be made of the linear theory in studying the nonlinear initial-yalue problem. Let 9’ be the Banach space of functions f such that their Fourier transform f lies in E”‘(R), and for which the norm IIf II = SUP (1 + I k I “) I f(k)

is finite. Note that this norm controls both the L,- and L,-norms of f. Note also that f belongs to 9 if, for example, f lies in W3~‘(R>and xf is a member of L,(Iw). The renormalization group map is now introduced. Taking the solution u given by (1.4), define U&, t) = Lu(Lx,

Assuming that the cy in (2.5) is less than one, which will be true if p <‘5 and L > 1, it is a reasonable conjecture that R, an converges to R,,, as y1 becomes unboundedly large. It is possible then that successive applications of RL+” for it large drive one toward f *. Thus for a given initial datum f, the right-hand side of (2.5) applied to f may, in the right circumstances, converge to f *. This in turn means that R,,,, f + f * and this result, properly interpreted, is exactly what we are after. The latter observation leads to a search for conditions under which R,,, is a contractive mapping. Lemma 1.

and that nL-” < C(log t)t-(‘m

We have thus established the following proposition. Proposition 1. For i < /3< 1 and any initial condition f. ES’, there exists a constant C > 0 and a time to > 0 such that for t > to, the solution v of (1.3) with 17= 1 satisfies IIv(*WP,

for the sequence of times t, = L2@. However, the result is self improving if one notes that as in Bricmont et al. [3], the analysis is unchanged if L2@ is replaced by 7L2@ throughout for 1 G 7 < L 2p. One thereby infers (2.11) for all t > L2P. The above analysis may be adapted to the case 0 < j3 G + in the linear case. One has to compensate for the non-differentiability of ( k 1” for p in this range by modifying the norm defining the space 9, replacing the Cl-norm on f^ by an appropriate Holder norm. Remarks. The proof only showed convergence

3. The nonlinear

problem

Attention is returned to the nonlinear problem (1.1)~(1.2) with the aim of showing that the term upu,, p 2 2, does not affect the results of Proposition 1 provided IIf. )I is sufficiently small. Let u be a solution of (1.1)~(1.2) and consider the renormalized version UL(X, t) = Lu(Lx, L%) of u. The renormalized

(34

solution uL satisfies the evolution equation

$LIL = Mu, - L2+%;u,

- L2~-p-1Ll~aXu,.

(34

Introduce the notation (Y= L20P3 as in Section 2, y = L2P-p-1, and let R,-,ll,p denote the renormalization map (3.1) corresponding to the semi-group for equation (1.1) with coefficient 7 for the dispersive term and p for the nonlinear term. Thus if f ~9 is given, then ( RL,7,pf)( x) is u,(x, 1) where uL is as in (3.1) and u is the solution of the initial-value problem u, + pupu, + ruxnx -Mu = 0, u(x, 0) =f(x),

(3.3)

for x E R and t > 0. Note that (RL,l,lfO)(~) = Lu(Lx, L2P) where u solves (l.l)-(1.2). To proceed with the program that was effective in Section 2 for the linear problem, estimates on the Fourier transform of the nonlinear term in the evolution equation are needed. The following lemma is helpful in this regard. Lemma 3. Let p 2 1 be an integer. Then there is a constant C depending only on p such that for any f EA?and all k E [w, IF(k)1

With these preliminaries in hand, we turn to the primary task of determining the asymptotic behavior of solutions of (l.l)-(1.2). Let f0 in S’ be given. Much as in the linear case, we consider the sequence f, =R L”,l,lffJ, n=l,%..., where L > 0 will be specified later. Because of the semigroup property, (3.11)

The error estimates in (3.22) also imply estimates in the L,- ?nd L,-norms on R. For any function f E L2(rW>,Plancherel’s Theorem states that IIf II2 = )If IILzG C IIf II. Observing that IIf(r~)IIL~=Y-1’211f(~)llL~,
