Optimal estimate of the spectral gap for the degenerate Goldstein-Taylor model. (English) Zbl 1291.35157
Summary: In this paper we study the decay to the equilibrium state for the solution of a generalized version of the Goldstein-Taylor system, posed in the one-dimensional torus $$\mathbb T=\mathbb R/\mathbb Z$$, by allowing that the nonnegative cross section $$\sigma$$ can vanish in a subregion $$X:=\{x\in\mathbb T\mid\sigma (x)=0\}$$ of the domain with meas $$(X)\geq 0$$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure.
We prove that the solution converges in time, with respect to the strong $$L^2$$-topology, to its unique equilibrium with an exponential rate whenever meas $$(\mathbb T\setminus X)\geq 0$$ and we give an optimal estimate of the spectral gap.
