Abstract

The present research paper is related to the analytical studies of -Laplacian heat equations with respect to logarithmic nonlinearity in the source terms, where by using an efficient technique and according to some sufficient conditions, we get the global existence and decay estimates of solutions.

1. A Brief History and Contribution

Consider the following nonlinear -Laplacian problem: equation with logarithmic nonlinearity: where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary the function is given initial data and exponent verify

In the last few decades, the researchers have shown significant interest in polynomial nonlinear terms in different areas, such as edge detection, viscoelasticity, engineering, electromagnetic, electrochemistry, cosmology, signal processing material science, turbulence, diffusion, physics, and acoustics. Many other problems in applied sciences are also modeled by linear and nonlinear evolutionary partial differential equations [1–13]. Various dynamical systems in physics and engineering are also modeled by using evolutionary differential equations. Many researchers have contributed a lot to provide an outstanding history of the evolutionary differential partial equations related to -Laplacian such as [13–17].

The majority of problems in science are nonlinear, and it is not easy to find its analytical solutions. The physical problems are mostly designed by using higher nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). It is found to be very difficult to find the exact or analytical solutions for such problems. However, in the last several centuries, many scientists have made significant progress and adopted different techniques to study the analytical side of the nonlinear PDEs. Through recent years and in the literature on nonlinear PDEs, logarithmic nonlinearity has received much interest from mathematicians and physicists. If we read in recent research, we notice that logarithmic nonlinearity has been entered into nonrelativistic wave equations that describe spinning particles that move in an external electromagnetic field and in the relativistic wave equation for spinless particles (see, for example, [2, 4, 18, 19]). In addition to what we mentioned above, this type of nonlinearity is used in various branches of physics such as optics, nuclear physics, geophysics, and inflationary cosmology (to read about this in detail, see [18–31]). Given all the basic previous meanings in physics, the study of universal solutions of this type of nonlinear logarithms is of great interest on the part of mathematicians.

Recently, Wu and Xue in [32] gave the uniformly proof of energy decay of the solution using the multiplier method of the following problem:

Moreover, the author in [33] studied the exponential and polynomial decay rate of solutions for seminar problem (3) by applying the inequality of Nakao.

On the another handle, for a Laplacian parabolic equation related to the logarithmic in the right-hand side, the authors in [24] gave the analytical side of the following problem:

Then, in [27], Nhan and Truong studied the global existence, decay together with the blow up the solutions of the following problem: where In addition, in [25], Cao and Liu gave for , the blow up and global boundedness results of problem (5).

Most recently, in [14], Piskin et al. studied the -Laplacian hyperbolic case

Motivated by the last mentioned papers, especially [14], in this current research, we consider problem (1) with the presence of nonlinear diffusion , logarithmic nonlinearity together with a damping term which is an extension of the previous recent analytical study in [14], where the authors considered the hyperbolic case without damping terms. Our goal is to exploit a potential well method for problem (1) in order to obtain global existence and decay estimate of solutions. More precisely, we give the global existence and decay estimates of solutions under some sufficient conditions.

This is the end of the proof.

5. Conclusion

As mentioned earlier in the introduction, the majority of problems in science are nonlinear and their analytical solutions are not easy to find, and most physical problems mostly use higher nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). It has been found to be extremely difficult to find accurate or analytical solutions to such problems. However, in the past several centuries, many scientists have made great progress and adopted various techniques to study the analytical side of these famous problems, and nonlinear logarithmic has also received much attention from physicists and mathematicians. Log nonlinearity was introduced into the relativistic wave equation describing spinning particles moving in an external electromagnetic field and in the relativistic wave equation (see, for example, [1–3, 6, 14, 18, 19, 29, 36, 37]); in this contribution, under some sufficient initial and boundary conditions, we have studied the analytical side of -Laplacian heat equations with respect to logarithmic nonlinearity in the right-hand side, where the global existence and decay estimates of weak solutions are proved. In the next work, we extend our recent work to the coupled system for this important problem. Also, some numerical examples will be given in order to ensure the theory study by using some famous algorithms which are presented in [38, 39].
