The wave propagation in dilatant granular materials is described by a nonlinear evolution equation of the fifth order deduced by Giovine–Oliveri in (Meccanica30(4) (1995) 341–357). In this paper, we study the well-posedness of the classical solutions for the Cauchy problem, associated with this equation.
In this study, we investigate the well-posedness of the following Cauchy problem:
with , such that
If
on the initial datum, we assume
On the other hand, if
we assume
Equation (1.1) was deduced in [28] in order to describe the wave propagation in dilatant granular materials. The variable u is the bulk density, δ, α, γ are macro- and microlevel dispersion parameters, while β is a parameter involving the ratio of the grain size and the wavelength.
In [46], Equation (1.1) with was deduced to model the evolution of the non-linear wave propagation compatible with the non-diffusive version of the model of bubbly liquids introduced by Drumheller and Bedford [26].
The existence of the solitons for (1.1) is proven in [29,48], while numerical solutions are analyzed in [30].
that was derived by Kawahara [37] to describe small-amplitude gravity capillary waves on water of a finite depth when the Weber number is close to (see [45]). Moreover, in [37], the author deduced (1.7) to describe one-dimensional propagation of small-amplitude long waves in various problems of fluid dynamics and plasma physics. (1.7) is also known as the fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries equation or generalized Benney–Lin equation [7,41].
Mathematical properties of (1.7) were studied recently in many detail, including the local and global well-posedness in the Bourgain space [20,21,34,35,52], the local and global well-posedness in energy space [25,27,31,51,56,57], the existence of solitary wave solution [9,32], the stability of periodic traveling wave solutions see [1,2,44,50,58], the well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem on a bounded domain [10,13,24,38], the initial-boundary value problem on the half-line [11,12], periodic solutions (see [8,47]), and numerical solutions see [5,6,23,33,42,53]. In particular, [25] shows that the Cauchy problem of (1.7) is ill-posed in some energy spaces.
To obtain the exact solutions for (1.7), a number of methods have been proposed in the literature. In particular, the Lie group analysis method is used in [4,36], the exp-function method is used in [3,39,43], the polygonal method is used in [22,54], the generalized F-expansion method is used in [55].
In [18], the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for (1.7) is proven, assuming on the initial datum (1.4). Finally, following [14,15,40,49], the convergence of the solution of (1.7) as is studied in [16,17].
The main result of this paper are the following theorems.
Assume (1.2), (1.3) and (1.4). Given κ, δ, β, α, γ, T, there exists an unique solution u of (1.1) such that
Moreover, ifandare two solutions of (1.1) in correspondence of the initial dataand, we have that
for some suitable, and every,, where
Assume (1.2), (1.5) and (1.6) with. Given κ, δ, β, α, T, there exists a solution u of (1.1) such that
Assume (1.2), (1.5) and (1.6) with. Given κ, δ, β, α, T, there exists an unique solution u of (1.1) such that
Moreover, (1.9) holds.
Using the Sobolev Immersion Theorem, Theorems 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 give the existence of a solution of (1.1), without additional assumption on the constants. Moreover, in Theorems 1.1 and 1.3 we have also the uniqueness and stability of the solution of (1.1).
The paper is organized as follows. In Sections 2, 3, 4, we prove Theorems 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, respectively.
Our existence argument is based on passing to the limit in a vanishing viscosity approximation of (1.1).
Fix a small number and let be the unique classical solution of the following problem:
where is a approximation of , such that
where an a positive constant independent of .
Let us prove some a priori estimates on , denoting with constants which depend only on the initial data, and with , the constants which depend also on T.
Following [19, Lemma 2.2], we prove the following lemma
Given κ, δ, β, α, γ, T, there exists a constant, independent of , such that
for every.
We begin by proving the following inequality:
for every , where A is an arbitrary positive constant.
We begin by observing that
Consider A a positive constant. Multiplying (2.1) by , thanks to (2.8), an integration on gives
Arguing as in Lemma 2.6, we have that u is solution of (3.1), such that (1.12). Since , arguing as in Theorem 1.1, we have (1.9).
