In this paper, we mainly study global well-posedness and optimal decay rate for the strong solutions of the compressible co-rotation finite extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model. This model is a coupling of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation. We first prove that the FENE dumbbell model admits a unique global strong solution provided the initial data are close to equilibrium state for . Moreover, for , we show that optimal decay rates of global strong solutions by the linear spectral theory and a more precise Hardy type inequality.

1 Introduction
In this paper we consider the compressible finite extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model [1, 12]:

In (1.7), is the density of the solvent, stands for the velocity of the polymeric liquid and denotes the distribution function for the internal configuration. Here the polymer elongation is bounded in ball which means that the extensibility of the polymers is finite and . The notation represents the stress tensor, with the viscosity coefficients and satisfying and . is a constant satisfied the relation , where is the Boltzmann constant, stands for the absolute temperature. Moreover, denotes the ratio between kinetic and elastic energy and is related to the linear damping mechanism in dynamics of the microscopic variable . The parameter is the Deborah number, which stands for the ratio of the time scales for elastic stress relaxation. It measures the fluidity of the system. The smaller the Deborah number is, the system behaves more like a Newtonian fluid. Furthermore, the Mach number denotes the ratio between the fluid velocity and the sound speed, so it characterizes the compressibility of the system. The pressure satisfies the so-called -law: with . is an additional stress tensor. For the compressible FENE dumbbell model, the potential for some constant . is the drag term. In the co-rotation case, . In the general case, .
This model describes the system coupling fluids and polymers. The system is of great interest in many branches of physics, chemistry, and biology, see [1, 12]. In this model, a polymer is idealized as an ”elastic dumbbell” consisting of two ”beads” joined by a spring that can be modeled by a vector . The polymer particles are studied by a probability function satisfying that , which stands for the distribution of particles elongation vector . At the level of liquid, the system couples the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid velocity with a Fokker-Planck equation describing the evolution of the polymer density. This is a micro-macro model (For more details, one can refer to [25] and [26]).
In this paper we will take and . Notice that with , and

1.1. Short reviews for the incompressible FENE dumbbell model
We first review some mathematical results about the incompressible FENE dumbbell model. M. Renardy [33] established the local well-posedness in Sobolev spaces with potential for . Later, B. Jourdain, T. Lelièvre, and C. Le Bris [18] proved local existence of a stochastic differential equation with potential in the case for a Couette flow. H. Zhang and P. Zhang [40] proved local well-posedness for the FENE equation with in weighted Sobolev spaces. For the co-rotation case, F. Lin, P. Zhang, and Z. Zhang [22] obtained a global existence results with and . If the initial data is perturbation around equilibrium, N. Masmoudi [25] proved global well-posedness for for the general case and . In the co-rotation case with , he [25] obtained a global result without any small conditions. In the co-rotation case, A. V. Busuioc, I. S. Ciuperca, D. Iftimie and L. I. Palade [4] obtained a global existence result with only the small condition on . The global existence of weak solutions in for the general case and was proved recently by N. Masmoudi [26] under some entropy conditions. In this paper, he point out that global existence of strong solutions for the general case is an open problem.
M. Schonbek [35] studied the decay of the weak solutions for the co-rotation FENE dumbbell model, and obtained the decay rate , with . Moreover, she conjectured that the sharp decay rate should be , . However, she failed to get it because she could not use the bootstrap argument as in [34] due to the additional stress tensor. Recently, W. Luo and Z. Yin [23] improved Schonbek’s result and showed that the decay rate is with and with for any . This result shows that M. Schonbek’s conjecture is true when . More recently, W. Luo and Z. Yin [24] improved the decay rate to with .
1.2. Short reviews for the CNS equations
Taking , the system (1.7) reduce to the compressible Navier-Stokes (CNS) equations. In order to study about the (1.7), we have to cite some reference about the CNS equations. The first local existence and uniqueness results were obtained by J. Nash [31] for smooth initial data without vacuum. Later on, A. Matsumura and T. Nishida [28] proved the global well-posedness for smooth data close to equilibrium in . In [19], A. V. Kazhikhov and V. V. Shelukhin established the first global existence result with large data in one dimensional space under some suitable condition on and . If is constant and , X. Huang and J. Li [14] obtained a global existence and uniqueness result for large initial data in two dimensional space(See also [17]). In [15], X. Huang, J. Li, and Z. Xin proved the global well-posedness with vacuum. The blow-up phenomenons were studied by Z. Xin et al in [37, 20, 38]. Concerning the global existence of weak solutions for the large initial data, we may refer to [2, 3, 29, 36].
To catch the scaling invariance property of the CNS equations. R. Danchin introduced the critical spaces in his series papers [7, 8, 9, 10, 11] and obtained several important existence and uniqueness results. Recently, Q. Chen, C. Miao and Z. Zhang [5] proved the local existence and uniqueness in critical homogeneous Besov spaces. The ill-posedness result was obtained in [6]. In [13], L. He, J. Huang and C. Wang proved the global stability with i.e. for any perturbed solutions will remain close to the reference solutions if initially they are close to another one.
The large time behaviour was proved by A. Matsumura and T. Nishida in [28]. H. Li and T. Zhang [21] obtained the optimal time decay rate for the CNS equations by spectrum analysis in Sobolev spaces. Recently, J. Xu [39] studied about the large time behaviour in the critical Besov space and obtain the optimal time decay rate.
1.3. Main results
The well-posedness in with the Hooke type potential and for the system (1.7) was established by N. Jiang, Y. Liu and T. Zhang [16]. They proved the global well-posedness for (1.7) if the initial data is close to the equilibrium. In [16], the authors assume that which means that polymer elongation may be infinite. Actually, the polymer elongation is usually bounded.
Recently, N. Masmoudi [27] was concerned with long time behavior for polymeric models. To our best knowledge, well-posedness and large time behaviour for the system (1.7) with finite polymer elongation has not been studied yet. In this paper, we establish global well-posedness result for the compressible co-rotation FENE equation (1.7) if the initial data is close to the equilibrium. The key point is to prove a priori estimate which is global in time for (1.15) with small data. Compared to (1.7) with the Hooke potential , the main difficult for the FENE system is to control the stress tensor . That is why many researchers establish different Hardy type inequalities. Taking advantage of dissipative structure of (1.15) and the interpolation method, we obtain the lower order energy estimates. By virtue of the Hardy type inequality [25] and cancellation relation between the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and Fokker-Planck equation, we get the higher order derivatives estimates for (1.15). Combining the lower and higher order estimates, we deduce a closed estimate which is global in time. The result of the global existence of strong solution of the current manuscript is an extension of [25] to the compressible fluid.
Moreover, we study about large time behaviour and obtain optimal decay rate for the velocity in . The proof is based on the linear spectral theory and energy estimate method with the conditions . The main difficulty is to estimate the additional linear term . To get decay rate, we prove a more precise Hardy type inequality to control the extra stress tensor by improving the method in [26]. Since is a linear term, it follows that we have to estimate the -norm for . For this purpose, we add the condition with and . In the incompressible case, one can prove that for any (See [25]). However, in the compressible case, we only obtain that , which is exponentially growth in time. This is too bad for study about optimal decay rate. Fortunately, in the co-rocation case, we see that the norm is exponentially decay in time. Although we can not obtain exponential decay estimate of through the new Hardy estimate, we deduce a time weighted estimate, which can control the growth trend of in with . Finally, we obtain optimal time decay rate for the velocity in by using the time weighted estimate and a different absorption method. The result of optimal decay rate for strong solution of the current manuscript is an extension of [23] to the compressible fluid. Compared to the previous literature [25], the new Hardy type inequality improves the estimate for with , which will be useful for the FENE system in the future.
Our main results can be stated as follows:
Theorem 1.1 (Global well-posedness).

3 Global strong solutions
This section is devoted to investigating global strong solutions for the compressible co-rotation FENE dumbbell model with dimension . To prove Theorem 1.1, we divide it into two Propositions. Firstly, we give a key global priori estimate for local solutions in the following proposition.
Proposition 3.1.
Let . Let be local strong solutions constructed in Proposition 3.2. If , then there exist such that

Let and . Taking the inner product with to , then we have
(3.4) | |||
Taking the inner product with to , then we have
(3.5) | |||
Using integration by part, Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3, we get
where is a sufficiently small constant. Using integration by part, Lemma 2.1, we have
The remaining terms can be treated as follows.
If , we verify that
Taking the inner product with to , then we have
(3.6) | |||
By integration by part, we have
Applying Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3, we deduce that
Let be a sufficiently large constant and , combining all the lower order estimates for , we deduce that
(3.7) | ||||
Now we turn to deal with the high order estimates. Applying to , we infer that
(3.8) |
Taking the inner product with to , then we have
(3.9) | ||||
Integrating by parts and using Lemma 2.6, we have
and
Similarly, we have
and
Applying Lemma 2.2, we deduce that
(3.10) |
Applying to , we infer that
(3.11) |
Taking the inner product with to , then we have
(3.12) | |||
Firstly, we obtain

(3.13) | ||||
Taking the inner product with to with , then we have
(3.14) | |||
Integrating by part and using Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3, we get

and
Using Lemmas 2.2, 2.3 and 2.6, we obtain
Integrating by part, we get
Taking the inner product with to with , then we have
(3.15) | |||
We can deduce that
and
Using Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3, we have
Combining all the higher order derivatives estimates for , we deduce that
(3.16) | ||||
Denote that
and
For some sufficiently small constant , we obtain and . Therefore, the small assumption implies that . Then combining the estimates (3.7) and (3.16), we finally infer that
Choosing some sufficiently small fixed and sufficiently large , if is small enough, then we have
Using the equivalence of and , then there exist such that
We thus complete the proof of Proposition 3.1. ∎
Now, we need to prove the existence of local solutions in some appropriate spaces by a standard iterating method.
Proposition 3.2.
Let . Assume . Then there exist a time such that the FENE polymeric system (1.15) admits a unique local strong solution and we have
(3.17) |
where
Proof.
First, we consider the iterating approximating sequence as follows:
(3.21) |
with the initial data . Furthermore, start with
, we obtain the approximate sequence .
Let and . We claim that: there exist and such that for any , if and , then
(3.22) |
Similar to the estimates (3.7) and (3.16), using Lemmas 2.1-2.3 and 2.6, we obtain
and
We can infer from that
Adding up the above estimates, we obtain
Using the induction assumptions , we get
Let . Then we deduce that
If constant , for , then
which implies that
where . The claim (3.22) is true. We thus complete the proof of uniform bound for .
We now prove the convergence in a low norm by using (3.22) with . Let , and , then it follows from (3.21) that
(3.29) |
By the standard energy estimate, we get
and
We can infer from that
Then we introduce some functionals for as follows:
and
Denote , and . Combining the above estimates, we have
where Since , we have
which implies that
Choosing sufficiently small , and using a standard compactness argument, we finally get a unique local solution of the compressible FENE system (1.15) with . We thus complete the proof of Proposition 3.2. ∎
The proof of Theorem 1.1:
Combining Propositions 3.1 and 3.2, we prove the global-in-time solutions of (1.15) by using the bootstrap argument. We assume that the initial datum satisfies with and . Applying Proposition 3.2, we have the unique local solution on with , and . Using global priori estimate stared in Proposition 3.1, we obtain
Applying Proposition 3.2 again, we get the unique local solution result on the time interval , satisfying . So we have
Then global priori estimate stared in Proposition 3.1 yields
Repeating this process, we show global existence of strong solution for (1.15) near equilibrium. Furthermore, we obtain
4 Optimal decay rate
This section is devoted to investigating optimal decay rate of global strong solutions for the compressible co-rotation FENE dumbbell model with dimension . In order to obtain the optimal decay rate, we will use the linear spectral theory. For this purpose, we rewrite the first two equations of (1.15) so that all the nonlinear terms and the external term appear at the right hand side of equations:
(4.3) |
where and . Taking the Fourier transform to system (4.3), we have
(4.4) |
where is defined as
(4.5) |
By some simple calculation, we get the determinant
The eigenvalues of and their projections are analyzed by
Lemma 4.1.
From (4.4), we see that there is a linear term in the right hand side. Therefore, we need to estimate the -norm of the stress tensor .
Proposition 4.2.
Under the condition in Theorem 1.2. There exists a constant such that for any , we have
(4.10) |
Proof.
Multiplying by both sides of (1.15) and integrating over with , we obtain
Using integration by parts and (1.8), we have
which implies that
Multiplying by both sides of the above inequality, integrating over with and applying Gronwall’s inequality, we obtain
Applying Lemma 2.3 and using the fact that ,
∎
Remark 4.3.
For the incompressible FENE model, one can show that . However, in the compressible case, the -norm of has a exponential growth. This is the main difference between the incompressible and compressible model.
The proof of Theorem 1.2: Observe that (3.3) and Theorem 1.1 ensures
(4.11) |
Using Lemma 2.2, we deduce that
(4.12) |
According to (4.4), we obtain
(4.13) |
Under the additional assumption , using Lemma 4.1, we get
(4.14) | ||||
For the nonlinear terms and , we can easily deduce that
(4.15) | ||||
Using Lemma 4.1, Remark 2.5 and Theorem 1.1, we get
(4.16) | ||||
Using (4.10), (4.16), Remark 2.5 and Theorem 1.1, we have
(4.17) | ||||
It follows from (4.13)-(4.17) that
(4.18) |
Multiplying to (4.13), using Lemma 4.1, we obtain the higher order derivative estimates:
(4.19) | ||||
where . Using Theorem 1.1, then we have
(4.20) | ||||
Using Lemma 4.1, Remark 2.5 and Theorem 1.1, we get
(4.21) | ||||
Using (4.10), Remark 2.5 and Theorem 1.1, we have
(4.22) | ||||
It follows from (4.19)-(4.22) that
(4.23) |
Define . According to (4.18) and (4.23), if , then we have
Finally, we get , which means that we obtain optimal decay rate (1.18) of and . We thus complete the proof the Theorem 1.2.
Remark 4.4.
In Theorem 1.2, we only obtain optimal decay rate with . The decay rate for is an interesting problem. Global existence of the strong solutions for the FENE dumbbell model with large data is a challenging problem. However, the technique in this paper fails to deal with the problems. We are going to study about these problems in the future.
