Time periodic solutions to the 2D quasi-geostrophic equation with the supercritical dissipation

Abstract

We consider the 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation with the time periodic external force and prove the existence of a unique time periodic solution in the case of the supercritical dissipation. In this case, the smoothing effect of the semigroup generated by the dissipation term is too weak to control the nonlinearity in the Duhamel term of the corresponding integral equation. In this paper, we give a new approach which does not depend on the contraction mapping principle for the integral equation.
