Decay Rate toward the Rarefaction Wave and the Viscous Contact Wave for Jin--Xin Relaxation Model
Abstract
This paper establishes the time-decay rates toward the rarefaction wave and the viscous contact wave for the one-dimensional Jin--Xin relaxation system under the L1 integrability condition of the initial perturbation. In the case of a strictly convex flux, we employ a decomposition method to derive a logarithmic L1 estimate related to a conjecture proposed by Liu\cite{liu2001lp}. Furthermore, a time-weighted L2 method yields the optimal decay rate toward the rarefaction wave. Regarding the case where the flux is partially linearly degenerate, by employing a similar L1 estimate and time-weighted L2 method, along with a refined estimate of the nonlinear wave interactions, we obtain the corresponding decay rate toward the composite wave. The decay estimates are obtained without smallness assumptions on the initial perturbations or the wave strength.
