Optimal convergence rate to nonlinear diffusion waves for bipolar Euler-Poisson equations with critical overdamping

This paper is concerned with the large time behaviors of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one dimensional bipolar Euler-Poisson equations with the time dependent critical overdamping. We show that in this critical overdamping case the bipolar Euler-Poisson system admits a unique global smooth solution that asymptotically converges to the nonlinear diffusion wave. In particular, the optimal convergence rate in logarithmic form is derived when the initial perturbations are L-2 sense by using the technical time-weighted energy method.
