The global existence and time-decay for the solution of the fractional pseudo-parabolic equation

Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem of fractional pseudo-parabolic equation on the whole space $R^n,n\ge 1$. Here, the fractional order $\alpha$ is related to the diffusion-type source term behaving as the usual diffusion term on the high frequency part. It has a feature of regularity-gain and regularity-loss for $0<\alpha <1$ and $\alpha >1$, respectively. We establish the global existence and time-decay rates for small-amplitude classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for $\alpha >0$. In the case that $0<\alpha <1$ , we introduce the time-weighted energy method to overcome the weakly dissipative property of the equation.
