Abstract

We consider a non-homogeneous generalised Burgers equation: ut+f(u)uxν2ux2=ηω,tR, xS1. \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + f'(u)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} - \nu \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} = \eta^{\omega},\quad t \in \R,\ x \in S^1. Here, \nu is small and positive, f is strongly convex and satisfies a growth assumption, while \eta^{\omega} is a space-smooth random "kicked" forcing term. For any solution uu of this equation, we consider the quasi-stationary regime, corresponding to t>=2. After taking the ensemble average, we obtain upper estimates as well as time-averaged lower estimates for a class of Sobolev norms of uu. These estimates are of the form C \nu^{-\beta} with the same values of β\beta for bounds from above and from below. They depend on \eta and f, but do not depend on the time t or the initial condition.
