Asymptotic behavior of the profile G Theorem There exists a constant C > such that There exists C > such that G(x) Cx 1 α (x ). G(x) Ce Λ(x) x 2 α (x + ) where Λ(x) = x λ+b(y) τ(y) dy. Daniel Balagué Asymptotic Behavior of Fragmentation-drift Equations with Variable Drift Rates 6/16

Asymptotic behavior of the profile G Idea of the proof: we prove first that, for any m > 3 and any x > it holds that 1 G(x) e Λ(x) x α m dx < +, where Λ(x) = x λ+b(y) τ(y) dy. I.e, the exponential moments are bounded. We exploit this fact to prove the result. Daniel Balagué Asymptotic Behavior of Fragmentation-drift Equations with Variable Drift Rates 7/16

The truncated problem To prove the estimates on the dual eigenfunction φ we use a truncated problem: τ(x) x φ L (x) + (B(x) + λ L )φ L (x) = L +(φ L )(x), φ L (L) = or φ L (L) = δ > or φ L (L) = δl, φ L, L G(x)φ L (x) dx = 1.

Lemma There exists L > such that for each L L the previous truncated problem has a unique solution (λ L, φ L ) with λ L > and φ L W 1, loc (R +). Moreover we have λ L L + λ A >, φ L L + φ uniformly on [, A). Daniel Balagué Asymptotic Behavior of Fragmentation-drift Equations with Variable Drift Rates 8/16

Supersolutions The function φ L (x) satisfies the following equation Sφ L (x) = (x (, L)), where S is the operator given by Sφ L (x) := τ(x)φ L (x) + (B(x) + λ L)φ L (x) x b(x, y)φ L (y)dy, defined for all functions φ W 1, (, L) and for x (, L). Definition We say that w W 1, (, L) is a supersolution of S on the interval I (, L) when Sw(x) (x I ).

Entropy The general relative entropy applies. H 2 [g G] := φg(u 1) 2 dx where u = g(x) G(x).

In consequence, if g t is a solution for the problem, the speed of convergence to equilibrium is exponentially fast in the L 2 -weighted norm = L 2 (G 1 φdx) sense, i.e., H 2 [g t G] H[g G]e λt.

Entropy Idea of the proof: One can check that H 2 [g G] = D 2 [g G] where D 2 [g G] := with u(x) = g(x) G(x). x φ(x)g(x)φ(y)g(y)(u(x) u(y)) 2 dydx Daniel Balagué Asymptotic Behavior of Fragmentation-drift Equations with Variable Drift Rates 15/16

Entropy Idea of the proof: One can check that H 2 [g G] = D 2 [g G] where D 2 [g G] := with u(x) = g(x) G(x).Consider two cases. x φ(x)g(x)φ(y)g(y)(u(x) u(y)) 2 dydx Case γ <. One can compare pointwise D 2 and D b. Case γ >. Split D 2 in two terms: one for which the pointwise comparison holds and one where it does not. The idea for the second part is to break u(x) u(y) into intermediate reactions in order to obtain a new expression of D 2 [g G] for which the pointwise estimate applies.
