Optimal decay estimate and asymptotic profile for solutions to the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov–Burgers equation in 2D

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the generalized Zakharov–Kuznetsov–Burgers equation in 2D. This is one of the nonlinear dispersive–dissipative equations, which has a spatial anisotropic dissipative term −μuxx. In this paper, we prove that the solution to this problem decays at the rate of t−34 in the L∞-sense, provided that the initial data u0(x,y) satisfies u0∈L1(R2) and some appropriate regularity assumptions. Moreover, we investigate the more detailed large time behavior and obtain a lower bound of the L∞-norm of the solution. As a result, we prove that the given decay rate t−34 of the solution to be optimal. Furthermore, combining the techniques used for the parabolic equations and for the Schrödinger equation, we derive the explicit asymptotic profile for the solution.
