In the 1960s, Ericksen [2, 3] and Leslie [8] established the kinetic theory of liquid crystal models. Lin-Liu [9] proved the global existence of the weak solutions and the classical solutions of a simplified Ericksen-Leslie liquid crystal equation, they also discussed uniqueness and some stability properties of the system. For the general Ericksen-Leslie system, Lin-Liu [10] proved the existence of classical solutions and the asymptotic stability of the solutions. Jiang-Luo [6] proved the global existence of classical solutions with small initial data for Ericksen-Leslie's hyperbolic incompressible liquid crystal model. Then Jiang-Luo-Tang [7] attained the the global existence of classical solutions with small initial data for the corresponding compressible system.
In this paper, we consider the system derived in [1] and modified by [4]. It describes the electrokinetics of a nematic electrolyte that consists of ions that diffuse and advect in a nematic liquid crystal environment, assuming certain simplifications commonly used in the mathematical literature on liquid crystals.
The system can be written in terms of the following variables:
* the vector $ n $ modelling the local orientation of the nematic liquid crystal molecules,
* the macroscopic velocity $ v $ of the liquid crystal molecules,
* the pressure $ p $ resulting from the incompressibility constraint on the fluid,
* the electrostatic potential $ \Phi $,
* $ C_{p} $ and $ C_{m} $ denote the density of positive and negative charges.
Then the system takes the form
where
and $ \eta $ is a constant that can be small enough. The coefficients satisfy the following relation
According to [1], this relation is necessary to ensure the variational structure of the system of equations and thus the equivalency of the equation of balance of linear momentum to that derived via the Onsager's principle.We denote the material derivative $ \partial_{t}+v\cdot\nabla $, and $ \dot{n}=\partial_{t}n+v\cdot\nabla n $ represents the material derivative of $ n $.
The Nernst-Planck type equations (1.1)-(1.2) correspond to the continuity equation for ions with the electric potential $ \Phi $ satisfying the Maxwell's equation of electrostatics (1.3). The Navier-Stokes equations (1.4), with the incompressibility constraint (1.5), rule the evolution of the liquid crystal flow.
In this section, we will state our main results and give the outline of this paper. We consider the case $ s=4 $ for simplicity. In fact, the method works equally well for $ s>4 $ cases. We introduce the following energy function
the energy-dissipation
and initial energy
Theorem 2.1 If $ v^{in} $, $ \nabla n^{in} $, $ C_{p}^{in} $, $ C_{m}^{in} $, $ \nabla\Phi^{in} \in H^{s}(\mathbb{T}^{3}) $, $ |n^{in}|\leq1 $, then there exists a $ T>0 $, such that the Cauchy problem of the system $ (1.1) $–$ (1.7) $ admits a solution
Moreover, the solution $ (v, n, C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi) $ satisfies
where $ M $ and $ T $ depend on $ E^{in} $ and the coefficients.
Theorem 2.2 There is a constant $ \epsilon_{0}>0 $, if $ E^{in}\leq\epsilon_{0} $, then the system (1.1)–(1.7) exist a global solution
what's more, the solution $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ satisfies
where $ C $ is independent of $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $.
The rest of this paper can be organized as follows. In section 3, we establish a priori estimate of system (1.1)–(1.7). In section 4, we show the local existence of $ (C_{p}, C_{m}) $ for a given $ (v, n, \Phi) $ and the local existence of $ (v, n) $ for a given $ \Phi $, which will be employed in the constructing the iterative approximate system of (1.1)–(1.7). In section 5, we construct the approximate system of (1.1)–(1.7) by iteration. In section 6, we prove the local well-posedness of (1.1)–(1.7) with large initial data by obtaining uniform energy bounds of the iterative system (5.1). In section 7, we globally extend the solution of (1.1)–(1.7) constructed in section 6 under the small initial energy condition with the same coefficients.
In this section we derive the a priori estimate. We assume $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ is a smooth solution of the system.
Lemma 3.1 Assuming $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ is a smooth solution to the system (1.1)–(1.7). Then there exists a constant $ C >0 $ such that
Proof Thanks to Lemma2 of [1], we have $ \Phi\in L^{\infty}(0, +\infty;L^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^{3})) $, which is the key point to prove this lemma. For all $ 0\leq k \leq s $, we act $ \nabla^{k} $ on equation (1.3) and take $ L^{2} $-inner product with $ \nabla^{k}\Phi $.
where we use the following Sobolev interpolation inequality $ \|f\|_{H^{4}}<C\|f\|_{L^{\infty}}^{\frac{2}{7}}\|\nabla f\|_{H^{4}}^{\frac{5}{7}}. $ Using Young inequality and summing up for all $ 0\leq k \leq s $, we arrive at
Lemma 3.2 Assuming $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ is a smooth solution to the system. Then
Proof For all $ 0\leq k \leq s $, via acting $ \nabla^{k} $ to equation (1.1), and taking $ L^{2} $-inner product with $ \nabla^{k}C_{p} $, we have
Now we estimate the four terms on the right-hand side term by term for $ 0\leq k \leq s $.
We take advantage of the Holder inequality, Sobolev embedding inequality and the fact that $ \mathrm{div}v=0 $ to get that
For $ A_{2} $, thanks to $ \eta\langle((n\otimes n)\nabla^{k}\nabla C_{p}), \nabla^{k}\nabla C_{p}\rangle \geq0 $ and $ s-\frac{3}{2}>2 $, we estimate that
For $ A_{3} $ and $ A_{4} $, we use Hölder inequality and Sobolev embedding inequality to get
Combing all these estimates, we obtain
Similarly, for $ C_{m} $ we get the following inequality
Lemma 3.3 If $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ is a smooth solution to the system (1.1)–(1.7), for all $ 0\leq k\leq s $, we have
Proof For all $ 0\leq k\leq s $, we act $ \nabla^{k} $ on equation(1.4) and take $ L^{2} $-inner product with $ \nabla^{k}v $, we obtain
Again, via acting $ \nabla^{k} $ on equation (1.6) and taking $ L^{2} $-inner product with $ \nabla^{k}\dot{n} $, we get
We add up (3.3) and (3.4) to get
As what we do before, we estimate the terms on the right-hand side term by term.
Thanks to $ \mathrm{div}v=0 $, we have
Since
we estimate that
Using $ F(r)\in C_{0}^{\infty}(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}) $, we obtain
(3.6) along with (3.7) and (3.8) yield that
For $ B_{2} $, thanks to $ \mathrm{div}v=0 $, we have $ \langle\nabla^{k}\partial_{p}n_{i}, v_{j}\partial_{j}\partial_{p}\nabla^{k}n_{i}\rangle=0. $ So we estimate that
On account of Holder inequality and Sobolev embedding inequality, we can easily get that
For $ B_{4} $, thanks to $ \alpha_{2}=0 $ and $ \alpha_{3}=-1 $, we have
So we estimate that
As for $ B_{5} $, by using $ \alpha_{6}-\alpha_{5}=1 $, $ \alpha_{6}+\alpha_{5}>1 $ and $ |\nabla^{k}D(v)n|^{2}\geq|\nabla^{k}\Omega(v)n|^{2} $, we obtain
Thus, we have
Now plugging the inequalities (3.9), (3.10), (3.11), (3.12) and (3.13) into the equation(3.5), we obtain
Lemma 3.4 Let $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ be a sufficiently smooth solution to the system(1.1)-(1.6) complemented with the initial condition(1.7) and satisfying the coefficient relation(1.8). Then for any $ M>E^{in} $, there is a $ T>0 $, which depends only on $ E^{in} $ and $ M $, such that there holds the energy inequality
Proof Taking Lemma 1.2 and Lemma 1.3 into consideration, summing up for all $ 0\leq k \leq s $, we obtain the inequality that
We can handle the terms that contain $ \|\nabla \Phi\|_{H^{s}} $ on the right-hand side by Lemma 3.1. Therefore we have $ \tfrac{1}{2}\tfrac{d}{dt}E(t)+D(t)\leq C E(t)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C\sum\limits_{1\leq k\leq12}E(t)^{\frac{k}{2}}D(t)^{\frac{1}{2}} \leq C(1+E(t))^{12}+\tfrac{1}{2}D(t), $ which follows that
We solve the ode inequality that
where the function $ \varphi(t) $ is strictly increasing and continuous and $ \varphi(0)=E^{in} $. So for any $ M>E^{in} $, there is a $ T_{1}>0 $ such that $ \varphi(t)\leq M $ for any $ t\in[0, T_{1}] $. We integrate on $ [0, t] $ for any $ t\in[0, T_{1}] $ to get that
The same as $ \varphi(t) $, for any $ M>E^{in} $, there is a $ T>0 $ such that $ \phi(t)\leq M $ for any $ t\in[0, T] $. Then we have
Lemma 4.1 For $ s-\frac{3}{2}>2 $ and $ T_{0}>0 $, let vector fields $ (C_{p}^{in}, C_{m}^{in}, v, \nabla n, \nabla \Phi) $ satisfy $ C_{p}^{in}\in H^{s} $, $ C_{m}^{in}\in H^{s} $, $ v\in L^{\infty}(0, T_{0};H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T_{0};H^{s+1}) $, $ \nabla n\in L^{\infty}(0, T_{0};H^{s}) $ and $ \nabla \Phi\in L^{\infty}(0, T_{0};H^{s}) $. Then there exists some $ 0<T<T_{0} $, depending only on $ C_{p}^{in} $, $ C_{m}^{in} $, $ n $, $ \nabla\Phi $ and $ v $, such that the following system
has a solution $ C_{p}\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T;H^{s+1}) $ and $ C_{m}\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T;H^{s+1}). $
Proof Let radial function $ \rho\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3}) $ such that
and $ \rho(x)=0 $ for $ |x|>1 $. We then define $ \rho^{\epsilon}(x)\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^{3}) $ by $ \rho^{\epsilon}(x)=\tfrac{1}{\epsilon^{3}}\sum\limits_{l\in\mathbb{L}^{3}}\rho(\tfrac{x+l}{\epsilon}) $ for any $ \epsilon>0 $, where $ \mathbb{L}^{3}\subset\mathbb{R}^{3} $ is some 3-dimensional lattice. Then we define a mollifier $ J_{\epsilon} $ as
We construct the following approximate system such that
By ODE theory, we can prove that there is a maximal time $ T_{\epsilon}>0 $ such that the approximate system(4.2) admits a unique solution $ C_{p}^{\epsilon}\in C([0, T^{\epsilon});H^{s}) $. Acting $ \nabla^{k} $ on the equation(3.3) and taking $ L^{2}-inner $ product with $ \nabla^{k} C_{p}^{\epsilon} $, we obtain that
As what we do in Lemma 1.2, we get the following energy inequality that
Now we let $ E^{\epsilon}_{C_{p}}=|C_{p}^{\epsilon}|_{H^{s}}^{2} $ and $ D^{\epsilon}_{C_{p}}=|J_{\epsilon}\nabla C_{p}^{\epsilon}|_{H^{s}}^{2}. $ We define
According to the above energy inequality we have
By the Young inequality, it follows that
where $ C_{1} $ is a constant that is independent of $ \epsilon $.
Solving the ODE inequality, we have
We can find a $ T>0 $ independent of $ \epsilon $ such that $ \int^{T}_{0}e^{C_{1}t}dt\leq\frac{1}{C_{1}} $.
For all $ t\in[0, T] $, we have
Hence $ T^{\epsilon}\geq T>0 $ for all $ \epsilon>0 $. Therefore, for all $ \epsilon>0 $ and $ t\in[0, T] $, we have
Namely, we obtain the following uniform energy bound $ |C_{p}^{\epsilon}|_{H^{s}}^{2}\leq2E^{0}_{C_{p}}, \int^{t}_{0}|J_{\epsilon}\nabla C_{p}^{\epsilon}|_{H^{s}}^{2}\leq2E^{0}_{C_{p}}, $ for all $ \epsilon>0 $ and $ t\in[0, T] $. By the bounds we know that there is a
such that $ C_{p} $ obeys 4.1 after passing limits in (4.2) as $ \epsilon\rightarrow0 $. Similarly, we can get a
that obeys 4.1.
Lemma 4.2 For $ s-\frac{3}{2}>2 $ and $ T_{1}>0 $, let vector fields $ (v^{in}, n^{in}, \nabla \Phi) $ satisfy $ v^{in}\in H^{s} $, $ \nabla n^{in}\in H^{s} $ and $ \nabla \Phi\in L^{\infty}(0, T_{1};H^{s}) $. Then there exists some $ 0<T<T_{1} $, depending only on $ v^{in} $, $ n^{in} $ and $ \nabla \Phi $ such that
which has a unique solution $ v\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T;H^{s+1}) $, $ \nabla n\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s}) $ and $ \dot{n}\in L^{2}(0, T;H^{s}) $.
Proof As what we do in Lemma 3.1, we construct the following approximate system such that
By ODE theorem, we can prove that there is a maximal time $ T_{\epsilon}>0 $, depending only on$ \nabla\Phi $, $ v_{0} $, $ d_{0} $ and $ T_{0} $ such that the approximate system admits a unique solution $ n^{\epsilon}\in C([0, T_{\epsilon}];H^{s+1}) $ and $ v^{\epsilon}\in C([0, T_{\epsilon}];H^{s}) $. We point out that $ T_{\epsilon}\leq T_{0} $ for all $ \epsilon>0 $, which is determined by the regularity of $ \nabla\Phi $.
For all $ 1\leq l\leq s $, we act the $ l $-order derivative operator $ \nabla^{l} $ on the first equation of the approximate system and take $ L^{2} $-inner product by multiplying $ \nabla^{l}v^{\epsilon} $. Similarly, we act $ \nabla^{l} $ on the third equation of the approximate system and take $ L^{2} $-inner product by multiplying $ \nabla^{l}\dot{n}^{\epsilon} $. Using integration by parts we obtain
According to Lemma 1.3, we have
Now we let $ E^{\epsilon}_{v, n}(t)=\|v^{\epsilon}\|_{H^{s}}^{2}+\|\nabla J_{\epsilon} n^{\epsilon}\|_{H^{s}}^{2} $ and $ D^{\epsilon}_{v, n}(t)=\tfrac{\alpha_{4}}{2}\|\nabla J_{\epsilon}v^{\epsilon}\|_{H^{s}}^{2}+\|\dot{n^{\epsilon}}\|_{H^{s}}^{2}. $ Then we obtain that
Thanks to Young inequality, we get that
We solve the ODE inequality that $ E^{\epsilon}_{v, n}(t)\leq[(1+E^{\epsilon}_{v, n}(0))^{-4}-Ct]^{-\frac{1}{4}}-1. $ Therefore
We let $ h(t)=C \int^{t}_{0}[(1+E_{v, n}(0))^{-4}-C\tau]^{-\frac{5}{4}}d\tau+E_{v, n}(0), $ which is nonnegative and $ h(0)=E_{v, n}(0) $. Since $ h(t) $ is continuous in $ t $ and independent of $ \epsilon>0 $, there is a $ T>0 $ such that $ h(t)\leq2E_{v, n}(0) $ for all $ t\in [0, T] $. Now we obtain the energy bound
for all $ \epsilon>0 $ and $ t\in[0, T] $. By the bound we get that there is a $ (v, n) $ satisfying $ \nabla n\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s}) $, $ \dot{n}\in L^{2}(0, T;H^{s}) $ and $ v\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T;H^{s+1}) $ such that $ (v, n) $ obeys the system (4.4) after passing limits in the approximate system as $ \epsilon\rightarrow0 $. Therefore, we have completed the proof of the lemma.
In this section, we construct the approximate system by iteration. More precisely, the iterative approximate system is constructed as follows: for all integer $ k\geq0 $
where $ D(v^{k+1})=\frac{\nabla v^{k+1}+\nabla (v^{k+1})^{T}}{2} $, $ \Omega(v^{k+1})=\frac{\nabla v^{k+1}-\nabla (v^{k+1})^{T}}{2} $ and $ \mathring{n}^{k+1}=n_{t}^{k+1}+v^{k+1}\cdot\nabla n^{k+1}-\Omega(v^{k+1})n^{k+1}. $ The iteration starts from $ k=0 $, i.e.,
Now we state the existence result of the iterative approximate system (5.1) as follows.
Lemma 5.1 Suppose that $ s-\frac{3}{2}>2 $ and the initial data $ (v^{in}, n^{in}, C_{p}^{in}, C_{m}^{in}, \Phi^{in}) $ satisfies $ v^{in}, \nabla n^{in}, C_{p}^{in}, C_{m}^{in} $ and $ \nabla\Phi^{in} \in H^{s} $. Then there is a maximal number $ T^{*}_{k+1}>0 $ such that the system (5.1) admits a solution $ (v^{k+1}, n^{k+1}, C_{p}^{k+1}, C_{m}^{k+1}, \Phi^{k+1}) $ satisfying $ v^{k+1} $, $ C_{p}^{k+1} $, $ C_{m}^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T^{*}_{k+1};H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T^{*}_{k+1};H^{s+1}) $, $ \nabla n^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T^{*}_{k+1};H^{s}) $, $ \dot{n}^{k+1}\in L^{2}(0, T^{*}_{k+1};H^{s}) $ and $ \nabla \Phi^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s}). $
Proof For the case $ k+1 $, the function $ (v^{k}, n^{k}, C_{p}^{k}, C_{m}^{k}, \Phi^{k}) $ is given. Namely, the electrostatic potential equation of $ \Phi^{k+1} $ is a divergence type elliptic equation
which admits a solution $ \nabla \Phi^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T^{\Phi}_{k+1};H^{s}). $ Moreover, the equations of $ C_{p}^{k+1} $ and $ C_{m}^{k+1} $ are linear system with given $ v^{k} $, $ n^{k} $ and $ \Phi^{k} $,
which, by lemma2.1, has a solution $ (C_{p}^{k+1}, C_{m}^{k+1}) $ satisfying $ C_{p}^{k+1} \in L^{\infty}(0, T^{p, m}_{k+1};H^{s}) \bigcap L^{2}(0, T^{p, m}_{k+1};H^{s+1}) $ and $ C_{m}^{k+1} \in L^{\infty}(0, T^{p, m}_{k+1};H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T^{p, m}_{k+1};H^{s+1}) $. Finally, for the system
by Lemma 2.2, we obtain a solution $ (v^{k+1}, n^{k+1}) $ satisfying $ v^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T^{v, n}_{k+1};H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T^{v, n}_{k+1};H^{s+1}) $, $ \nabla n^{k+1}\in L^{\infty}(0, T^{v, n}_{k+1};H^{s}) $ and $ \dot{n}^{k+1}\in L^{2}(0, T^{v, n}_{k+1};H^{s}) $. We denote by
and the proof of lemma 5.1 is finished.
In this section, we prove the local well-posedness of system(1.1)-(1.7) with large initial data. The key point is to justify the positive lower bound of $ T^{*}_{k+1} $ and the uniform energy bounds of the iterative approximate system (5.1), which will be shown in Lemma 4.1. In the end, by the compactness argument, we can pass to the limits in the system(5.1) and then reach our goal, which is a standard process. We define the following energy functions
and
Lemma 6.1 Assume that $ (v^{k+1} $, $ n^{k+1} $, $ C_{p}^{k+1} $, $ C_{m}^{k+1} $, $ \Phi^{k+1}) $ is the solution to the iterative approximate system (5.1), and we define
where $ T^{*}_{k+1}>0 $ is the existence time of the iterative approximate system(5.1). Then for any fixed $ M>E_{0} $ there is a constant $ T>0 $, depending only on M and $ E_{0} $, such that $ T_{k+1}\geq T >0. $
Proof By the continuity of the functionals $ E_{k+1}(t) $, we know that $ T_{k+1}>0 $. If the sequence $ \{T_{k};k=1, 2, ...\} $ is increasing, the conclusion immediately holds. So we consider that the sequence $ T_{k} $ is not increasing. Now we choose a strictly increasing sequence $ \{k_{p}\}_{p=1}^{\Lambda} $ as follows:
If $ \Lambda<\infty $, the conclusion holds. Consequently, we consider the case $ \Lambda=\infty $. By the definition of $ k_{p} $, the sequence $ \{k_{p}\}_{p=1}^{\infty} $ is strictly decreasing, so that our goal is to prove $ \lim_{p\rightarrow \infty}T_{k_{p}}>0. $ As what we do in a priori estimate, we have
which follows that
Recalling the definition of the sequence $ \{k_{p}\} $, we know that for any integer $ N<k_{p} $, $ T_{N}>T_{k_{p}}. $ We take $ k=k_{p}-1 $ in the inequality(6.1), and then by the definition of $ T_{k} $ we have for all $ t\in[0, T_{k_{p}}] $
We solve the ODE inequality that for all $ t\in[0, T_{k_{p}}] $,
where the function $ x(t) $ is strictly increasing and continuous and $ x(0)=E_{0} $. Plugging the above inequality into the ODE inequality(6.1) and then integrating on $ [0, t] $, for any $ t\in[0, T_{k_{p}}] $, we estimate that
where $ y(t) $ is also strictly increasing and continuous and $ y(0)=E_{0} $. Thus, by the continuity and monotonicity of the function $ y(t) $, we know that for any $ M>E_{0} $ and $ p\in N^{+} $, there is a number $ t^{*}>0 $, depending only on M and initial energy $ E_{0} $, such that for all $ t\in[0, t^{*}] $,
By the definition of $ T_{k} $ we derive that $ T_{k_{p}}\geq t^{*}>0 $, hence $ T=\lim_{p\rightarrow \infty}T_{k_{p}}\geq t^{*}>0. $ Consequently, we complete the proof of Lemma 4.1.
According to Lemma 4.1 we know that for any fixed $ M>E^{0} $ there is a $ T>0 $ such that for all integer $ k\geq0 $ and $ t\in[0, T] $
Then, by compactness arguments, we get vector $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ satisfying $ C_{p} $, $ C_{m} $ and $ v $ $ \in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s})\bigcap L^{2}(0, T;H^{s+1}) $, $ \nabla n\in L^{\infty}(0, T;H^{s}) $ and $ \dot{n}\in L^{2}(0, T;H^{s}) $, which solves the system(1.1)–(1.6) with the initial condition(1.7). Moreover, $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $ satisfies the bound
Then the proof of the Theorem 2.1 is finished.
We set the following energy functionals:
We observe that
where $ C_{*} $ is a constant which depends only on the $ Poincar\acute{e} $ inequality in torus.
Lemma 7.1 If $ (v, n, C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi) $ is the local solution constructed in Theorem 2.1, then
where the positive constant C is independent of $ (v, n, C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi) $.
Proof Firstly, by lemma(3.2) and Poincaré inequality, we obtain
By a similar argument, we also have
Secondly, via acting $ \nabla^{k} $ on the equation (1.6) and taking $ L^{2} $-inner product with $ \nabla^{k}n $, we get
Now we estimate the terms on the right-hand side of(7.3) term by term as follows:
Plugging the inequalities in (7.4) into (7.3), we obtain
Now we estimate the terms on the right-hand side of (3.5) in other way by using Poincaré inequality. Naturally, we can get the following estimates:
In the light of lemma1.1 and Poincaré inequality, we obtain
which implies that
We plug inequalities(7.6) and (7.7) into (3.5) to obtain that
Therefore, adding the inequalities (7.1), (7.2), (7.5) and (7.8) together and summing up for all $ 0\leq k \leq s $, we obtain
Then we complete the proof of Lemma 7.1.
We define the following number $ T^{*}=\sup\{\tau>0;\sup\limits_{t\in[0, \tau]}\hat{C}\sum\limits_{1}^{11}\tilde{E}(t)^{\frac{k}{2}}\leq\frac{1}{2}\}\geq0 , $ where the constant $ \hat{C}>0 $ is mentioned in Lemma 7.1.
Since $ C_{*}\tilde{E}(t)\leq E(t)\leq\tilde{E}(t) $, there exists a positive number $ \epsilon_{0} $, such that
when $ E(0)\leq\epsilon_{0} $. From the continuity of the energy function $ \tilde{E}(t) $, we can deduce that $ T^{*}>0 $. Thus for all $ t\in[0, T^{*}] $
which immediately means that $ \tilde{E}(t)\leq\tilde{E}(0)\leq\frac{1}{C_{*}}E^{in} $ holds for all $ t\in[0, T^{*}] $, and consequently $ \sup\limits_{t\in[0, T^{*}]}\hat{C}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{11}\tilde{E}(t)^{\frac{k}{2}}\leq\frac{1}{4}. $ We now can claim that $ T^{*}=+\infty $. Otherwise, if $ T^{*}<+\infty $, the continuity of the energy $ \tilde{E}(t) $ implies that there is a constant $ \theta>0 $ such that
which contradicts to the definition of $ T^{*} $. Therefore we get
where $ C $ is independent of $ (C_{p}, C_{m}, \Phi, v, n) $, and as a consequence, the proof of Theorem 2.2 is finished.
