Global solutions and Asymptotic Behavior to a Norm-preserving Non-local Parabolic Flow

Abstract

We consider a nonlinear parabolic model that forces solutions to stay on a $L^2$-sphere through a nonlocal term in the equation. We study the local and global well-posedness on a bounded domain and the whole Euclidean space in the energy space. Then, we consider the solutions' asymptotic behavior. We prove strong convergence to a stationary state and asymptotic convergence to the ground state in bounded domains when the initial condition is positive.
