Asymptotic profile of solutions to the two-dimensional dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation. (English) Zbl 1214.35049

Summary: This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the two-dimensional dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation. Based on the spectral decomposition of the Laplacian operator and iterative techniques, we obtain improved \(L^2\) decay rates of weak solutions and derive more explicit upper bounds of higher order derivatives of solutions. We also prove the asymptotic stability of the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equation under large initial and external perturbations.
