Exponential convergence to equilibrium via Lyapounov functionals for reaction-diffusion equations arisingfrom non reversible chemical kinetics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 December 2008
Abstract
We show that the entropy method, that has been used successfully in orderto prove exponential convergence towards equilibrium with explicit constants in many contexts,among which reaction-diffusion systems coming out of reversible chemistry, can also be usedwhen one considers a reaction-diffusion system corresponding to an irreversible mechanism ofdissociation/recombination, for which no natural entropy is available.
