1. Introduction
In this article we study one class of nonlinear hyperbolic equations, that in the one space dimension case, we can formulate in the form
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where , are known functions, are a continouos functions and is a number. The equation of type (1.1) describe mathematical model of the problem from theory of the flow in networks as is affirmed in articles [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [9], [10] (e. g. Aw-Rascle equations, Antman–Cosserat model, etc.). As in the survey [4] is noted such a study can find application in accelerating missiles and space crafts, components of high-speed machinery, manipulator arm, microelectronic mechanical structures, components of bridges and other structural elements. Balance laws are hyperbolic partial differential equations that are commonly used to express the fundamental dynamics of open conservative systems (e.g. [5]). As the survey [4] possess of the sufficiently exact explanations of the significance of equations of such type therefore we not stop on this theme. It need to note that most often in these articles in which the being investigated problem descrebe the hyperbolic equation of second order as mathematical model, then for investigation the authors reduce it to the system of equations of first order. As it is explained in the cited above survey on the mathematical properties of the Antman–Cosserat model are similar to those of the first-order system associated with the nonlinear wave equation.
This article is organized as follows. In the section 2 we consider the class of the nonlinear hyperbolic equations of second order of such type that are arisen in the theory of flows on networks. In the section 3 we investigate the solvability of the considered problems and in the section 4 the behaviour of their solutions.
2. Formulation of the problem and the approach
Consider the following problem
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where is a bounded domain with sufficiently smooth boundary , is arbitrary fixed number.
As it is well known is a self-adjoint, positive operator densely defined in a Hilbert space (and on with the norm , see, e. g. [12] [15]) and are a continuous functions.
For the investigation of this problem we will use the following approach
[TABLE]
here is a monotone function.
In the other words we will understud the solution of this problem in the following sense
Definition 1**.**
We will call a function
[TABLE]
weak solution of problem (2.1) - (2.2) if satisfies the following equation
[TABLE]
locally by a. e. for any
Consider the following conditions
- let are a continuous functions and there are a numbers , and such that the following inequations
[TABLE]
hold for any , moreover is continuous function (for example, , , , moreover and ).
It is well known ([8], [12], [13]]) that under the conditions of this problem the following problem
[TABLE]
is solvable for any , and has unique solution in , i.e. the operator is the isomorphism. Consequently if to set the denotation then of the posed problem one can rewrite in the form
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
So from equation (2.3) we get
[TABLE]
here is a nonnegative functional and .
If to bear in mind of these conditions and condition 1 we get
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
here are constants that independent of . Hence follows
[TABLE]
by virtue of the Gronwall’s lemma.
Thus we get inequalities
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
for every fixed
It not is difficult to see that if then occurs the inequation
[TABLE]
3. Solvability of problem (2.1) - (2.2)
For the proof of the solvability of problem (2.1) - (2.2) we will use the approach of Galerkin. We need note that under condition 1 on the function we not succeeded in proving the solvability of this problem. For this we assume the following severe constraint instead of the condition that is dedused in condition 1 on . Let function is the Lipschitz function, i.e. there is a such number that the following inequality
[TABLE]
holds for any .
Let the system be a total system of the space
[TABLE]
where be the sufficiently smooth functions. Using above approach we get the a priori estimations (2.5). We will seek out of the approximative solutions in the form
[TABLE]
as the solutions of the problem locally with respect to , where are as the unknown functions that will be defined as solutions of the following Cauchy problem for system of ODE
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where and are contained in , , moreover
[TABLE]
Thus we obtain the following problem
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
that solvable on for any and by virtue of estimates (2.5).
Consequently with use of the known procedure ([11], [16], [14]]) we obtain, and , , moreover they are contained in the bounded subset of these spaces. Thus from (3.3) we get
[TABLE]
So for the sequence of the approximate solutons we have: is contained in the bounded subset of the space
[TABLE]
and the sequence is contained in the bounded subset of the space
[TABLE]
Then the sequence has a precompact subset in the space
[TABLE]
by virtue of the known interpolation theory (see, [15]), and consequently in the space as the imbedding holds.
Thus for us is remained to show the following: if the sequence
[TABLE]
is weakly converging to in this space and and have an weakly converging subsequence to in and to in () respectively, for a. e. then and . (Here and in what follows for brevity we don’t changing of indexes of subsequences.)
In the beginning we will show the equation . Let the sequence is such as above mentioned and . Then in condition (3.1) for the operator
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
and also
[TABLE]
Therefore we consider the expression under the assumption that in and in and in the corresponding spaces. In order to prove that is the Cauchy sequence we carry out the following estimations
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
that shows the correctnes of this statement as the right side converge to zero with respect to . If to take account of the above assumpsion we can conduct the estimation of such type (3.4) for the expression , as is defined, then we obtain that equation holds, i.e. in .
In order to show the equation we will use the monotonicity condition of F, i. e. for any occurs the following inequation
[TABLE]
and if rewrite it for and then we have
[TABLE]
It is not difficult to see that the following convergence takes place
[TABLE]
then
[TABLE]
for a. e. by virtue of the obtained above equation , consequently
[TABLE]
for a. e. .
Let us apply monotonicity of
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
(here , ) for that use equation (3.3) we have
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
from here we get
[TABLE]
by pass to the limit with respect to and if to take account the following known inequation
[TABLE]
by the Fatou’s lemma, more exactly
[TABLE]
as . Then with use of this inequation and (3.5) we get
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Hence we obtain the equation by virtue of arbitrariness of .
Now we will show that the function satisfies of the initial conditions and for this we will consider the following equation
[TABLE]
for and , that is equivalent to the equation
[TABLE]
From obtained a priory estimations follow the boundedness of the right side of (3.6), consequently we get the boundedness of the left side of (3.6) any . Thus one can pass to the limit by by virtue of the a priory estimations. Really as and bounded in this space we get: the right side is bounded as all terms in the left side are bounded in respective spaces, therefore one can pass to limit with respect to as here are continous with respect to for any then strongly converges to in and weakly converges to in .
Consequently is proved the following result.
Theorem 1**.**
Let , and that there are functions , such that , . Let and are a continuous functions such that is a monotone operator and satisfies the following inequalities
[TABLE]
for , and satisfies inequation (3.1) for , where , and are a numbers.
Then problem (2.1)-(2.2) possess, at least, one weak solution in the sense of Definition1 that belongs to the space for every fixed number .
Remark 1**.**
It should be noted that by using (2.4) one can reformulate of the considered problem in the following form: let is given function
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
In the other words we get
[TABLE]
hence one can obtain the following equivalent problem if is the homogeneous operator
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
since if equation (3.7) possess a solution then the expression is a harmonic function for any and also satisfies the homogeneous boundary condition. In this case we get, that the considered problem is equivalent to the problem
[TABLE]
4. Behaviour of the solution of the problem (2.1)-(2.2)
Now we introduce the function and consider this function on the solution of problem (2.1)-(2.2) and assume satisfies inequation for any .
So we will study the problem
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
for which behaving as above we get the equation
[TABLE]
(it not is difficult to see that if then the energy functional remain constant for , i. e. the energy functional is independent of )
[TABLE]
using the condition on we have
[TABLE]
Hence follows
[TABLE]
For the functional we have
[TABLE]
using here inequation (4.1)
[TABLE]
and the condition on (consequently, on )
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and at last we get
[TABLE]
by virtue of the condition and of the continuity of embeddings , where ( ) are constants.
So we have the Cauchy problem for differential inequality
[TABLE]
One can replace problem (4.2) with the following problem in order to investigate of the behaviour of the solution of considered problem
[TABLE]
as . Inequation (4.2) one can rewrite in the form
[TABLE]
where is a number and is sufficiently small number and . Then solving this problem we get
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
here the right side is greater than zero, because and . It is necessary to note here the dependence on of the behaviour of the solution is essentially that follows from the received last problem.
Thus is proved the result
Lemma 1**.**
Let , and that there are functions , such that , . Then the function , defined by the solution of problem (2.1)-(2.2), for any belong in ball depending from the initial values , here .
