Abstract

We prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of stably stratified solutions to the Incompressible Porous Media equation (IPM) for initial perturbations in H˙ 1-τ(R2) ∩ H˙ s(R2) with s> 3 and for any 0 < τ< 1 . Such a result improves upon the existing literature, where the asymptotic stability is proved for initial perturbations belonging at least to H20(R2) . More precisely, the aim of the article is threefold. First, we provide a simplified and improved proof of global-in-time well-posedness of the Boussinesq equations with strongly damped vorticity in H1-τ(R2) ∩ H˙ s(R2) with s> 3 and 0 < τ< 1 . Next, we prove the strong convergence of the Boussinesq system with damped vorticity towards (IPM) under a suitable scaling. Lastly, the asymptotic stability of stratified solutions to (IPM) follows as a byproduct. A symmetrization of the approximating system and a careful study of the anisotropic properties of the equations via anisotropic Littlewood-Paley decomposition play key roles to obtain uniform energy estimates. Finally, one of the main new and crucial points is the integrable time decay of the vertical velocity ‖u2(t)‖L∞(R2) for initial data only in H˙ 1-τ(R2) ∩ H˙ s(R2) with s> 3 .
