In this paper we address the decay of solutions to the four-dimen\-sional energy-critical nonlinear heat equation in the critical space $\dot{H}^1$. Recently, it was proven that the $\dot{H}^1$ norm of solutions goes to zero when time goes…
In this article we extend the modern, powerful and simple abstract Hilbert space strategy for proving hypocoercivity that has been developed originally by Dolbeault, Mouhot and Schmeiser. As well-known, hypocoercivity methods imply an…
