KIGURADZE Abstract. The asymptotic behavior as t → ∞ of solutions of a nonlinear integro-differential equation is studied. The equation arises as a model describing the penetration of the electromagnetic field in to a substance. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35K55, 45K05. Key words and phrases: Nonlinear integro-differential parabolic equation, asymptotic behavior. 1. Introduction. The main result. This paper is devoted to the study of the stabilization of solutions of the first boundary value problem in a cylindrical domain Q = (0, 1) × {t > 0} for the system of nonlinear integro-differential parabolic equations · ¸ · ¸ ∂U ∂ ∂U ∂V ∂ ∂V = a(S) , = a(S) , (x, t) ∈ Q, ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂t ∂x ∂x U (0, t) = V (0, t) = 0, U (1, t) = ψ1 , V (1, t) = ψ2 , t ≥ 0, U (x, 0) = U0 (x), V (x, 0) = V0 (x), x ∈ (0, 1), (1) (2) (3) where Zt ·µ S(x, t) = 1 + 0 ∂U ∂x ¶2 µ ∂V + ∂x ¶2 ¸ dτ, (4) dx dτ.

The characteristic feature of equations (1), (4) and (1), (5) is the appearance of nonlinear members depending on the integral of searched functions in the coefficients of higher derivatives. System (1), (4) arises as a model describing the penetration of the electromagnetic field into a substance [1]. 1 In the literature this author is frequently referred to as T. A. Dzhangveladze. c Heldermann Verlag www.heldermann.de ISSN 1072-947X / $8.00 / ° 58 T. JANGVELADZE AND Z. KIGURADZE A lot of scientific works are devoted to the investigation of the problem given in [1] and to some of its generalizations. These questions are considered in [2]–[9] and in a number of other works as well. The study of equations of type (1), (4) began started in [1]. In this work, in particular, theorems of the existence of a generalized solution of the first boundary value problem for a(S) = S and the uniqueness for more general cases are proved. The case a(S) = S p , 0 < p ≤ 1, is studied in [2], where a theorem of the existence and uniqueness of a solution of problem (1)–(4) is proved. Investigations for multidimensional space cases are carried out in [3] for the first time. In [4], [5] an operational scheme with the so-called conditionally closed operators is proposed. This scheme is applied for the solution of problems of (1)–(4) type [4], [5]. Note that investigations of equations of (1), (4) type are also carried out in [6], [7]. In the work [5] some generalization of equations of type (1), (4) is proposed. In particular, assuming the temperature of the considered body to be constant throughout the material, i.e., depending on time, but independent of the space coordinates, the process of penetration of the magnetic field into the material is modelled by averaged integro-differential equations of type (1), (5). The purpose of this note is to continue the study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the equations (1), (4) which began in [8], [9]. In the present paper estimates of stabilization rate as t → ∞ of solutions of problems (1)– (4) and (1)–(3), (5) are obtained for the case a(S) = S p , 0 < p ≤ 1. We will use the scheme of [10] in which the adiabatic shearing of incompressible fluids with temperature-dependent viscosity is studied. We should note that boundary conditions (2) are used here taking into account the physical problem considered in [11]. We assume that (U, V ) = (U (x, t), V (x, t)) is a solution of (1)–(4) on [0, 1] × ∂U ∂V ∂U ∂V ∂ 2 U ∂ 2 V [0, ∞) such that U, V, , , , , , are all in C 0 ([0, ∞); L2 (0, 1)), 2 2 ∂x ∂x ∂t ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂ 2U ∂ 2V ∂2U ∂ 2V while , are in C 0 ((0, ∞); L2 (0, 1)) and 2 , 2 are in L2,loc ((0, ∞); ∂t ∂x ∂t ∂x ∂t ∂t L2 (0, 1)) (see [1], [2], [4], [5], [10]). The main purpose of this work is to prove the following statement. Theorem. Assume a(S) = S p , 0 < p ≤ 1, U0 (0) = V0 (0) = 0, U0 (1) = ψ1 , V0 (1) = ψ2 , ψ12 + ψ22 6= 0, U0 , V0 ∈ W22 (0, 1). Then for the solution of problem (1)–(4) the following estimates are true as t → ∞: ∂V (x, t) ∂U (x, t) = ψ1 + O(t−1−p ), = ψ2 + O(t−1−p ), (6) ∂x ∂x STABILIZATION RATE OF SOLUTION OF A NONLINEAR EQUATION ∂U (x, t) = O(t−1 ), ∂t 59 ∂V (x, t) = O(t−1 ), ∂t (7) uniformly in x on [0, 1]. The proof of the theorem is based on a priori estimates which are obtained with the help of a number of identities derived below. 2. Proof of the theorem.
