Asymptotic Stability of Diffusion Waves of a Quasi-Linear Hyperbolic-Parabolic Model for Vasculogenesis

Abstract

In this paper, we derive the large-time profile of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a hyperbolic-parabolic system modeling the vasculogenesis in $\R^3$. When the initial data are prescribed in the vicinity of a constant ground state, by constructing a time-frequency Lyapunov functional and employing the Fourier energy method and spectral analysis, we show that solution of the Cauchy problem tend time-asymptotically to linear diffusion waves around the constant ground state with algebraic decaying rates under certain conditions on the density-dependent pressure function.
