Abstract

In this paper, it is shown that the energy equality of weak solution $v$ to a surface growth model is valid if $v_x \in L^p (0, T; L^q(\mathbb{T}))$ with $\frac{3}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$ and $1 \leq q \leq 4$, or $v \in L^\infty (0, T; L^\infty (\mathbb{T}))$, or $v_{xx} \in L^p (0, T; L^q (\mathbb{T}))$ with $\frac{2}{p} + \frac{2}{5q} = 1$ and $q \geq 1$, which gives an affirmative answer to a question proposed by Yang in [$\href{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jde.2021.02.040}{28}$], J. Differential Equations 283: 71–84, 2021]. Furthermore, Onsager’s conjecture for this model is also considered.
