Abstract

By rewriting a bipolar Euler–Poisson equations with damping into a Euler equation with damping coupled with a Euler–Poisson equation with damping and using a new spectral analysis, we obtain the optimal decay results of the solutions in L2 norm. More precisely, the velocities u1 and u2 decay at the L2−rate urn:x-wiley:mma:media:mma3269:mma3269-math-0001, which is faster than the normal L2-rate urn:x-wiley:mma:media:mma3269:mma3269-math-0002 for the heat equation and the Navier–Stokes equations. In addition, the decay rates of the disparities of two densities ρ1ρ2 and the disparity of two velocities u1u2 could reach to urn:x-wiley:mma:media:mma3269:mma3269-math-0003 and urn:x-wiley:mma:media:mma3269:mma3269-math-0004 in L2 norm, respectively.
