Algebraic Decay to Equilibrium for the Becker--Döring Equations
Pages 2819 - 2842
Abstract
This paper studies rates of decay to equilibrium for the Becker--Döring equations with subcritical initial data. In particular, algebraic rates of decay are established when initial perturbations of equilibrium have polynomial moments. This is proved by using new dissipation estimates in polynomially weighted $\ell^1$ spaces, operator decomposition techniques from kinetic theory, and interpolation estimates from the study of traveling waves.
