In this paper, we consider the Brinkman-Forchheimer equations in a semi-infinite pipe. A second order differential inequality is derived which leads to an exponential decay estimate for the energy E(z, t) defined in (3.1) under appropriate initial and boundary conditions. We also indicate how to establish the explicit bound for the total energy.

The spatial properties of solutions for a class of thermoelastic plate with biharmonic operator were studied. The energy method was used. We constructed an energy expression. A differential inequality which the energy expression was controlled by a second-order differential inequality is deduced. The Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results of the solutions were obtained by solving the inequality. These results show that the Saint-Venant principle is also valid for the hyperbolic–hyperbolic coupling equations. Our results can been seen as a version of symmetry in inequality for studying the Phragme´n-Lindelo¨f alternative results.

We study the structural stability for the double-diffusion perturbation equations. Using the a priori bounds, the convergence results on the reaction boundary coefficients k1, k2 and the Lewis coefficient Le could be obtained with the aid of some Poincare´ inequalities. The results showed that the structural stability is valid for the the double-diffusion perturbation equations with reaction boundary conditions. Our results can be seen as a version of symmetry in inequality for studying the structural stability.
