Global well-posedness and Asymptotic analysis of a nonlinear heat equation with constraints of finite codimension

Abstract

We prove the global existence and the uniqueness of the $L^p\cap H_0^1-$valued ($2\le p<\infty$) strong solutions of a nonlinear heat equation with constraints over bounded domains in any dimension $d\ge 1$. Along with the \textit{Faedo-Galerkin} approximation method and the compactness arguments, we utilize the monotonicity and the hemicontinuity properties of the nonlinear operators to establish the well-posedness results. In particular, we show that a Hilbertian manifold $\mathbb{M}$, which is the unit sphere in $L^2$ space, describing the constraint is invariant. Finally, in the asymptotic analysis, we generalize the recent work of [P. Antonelli, et. al. \emph{Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations}, 63(4), 2024] to any bounded smooth domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, $d\ge 1$, when the corresponding nonlinearity is a damping. In particular, we show that, for positive initial datum and any $2\le p<\infty$, the unique positive strong solution of the above mentioned nonlinear heat equation with constraints converges in $L^p\cap H_0^1$ to the unique positive ground state.
