Nonlinear stability of degenerate shock profiles
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider degenerate viscous shock profiles arising in systems of two regularized conservation laws, where degeneracy here describes viscous shock profiles for which the asymptotic endstates are sonic to the associated hyperbolic system (the shock speed is equal to one of the characteristic speeds). Proceeding with pointwise estimates on the Green’s function for the linear system of equations that arises upon linearization of the conservation law about a degenerate viscous shock profile, we establish that spectral stability, defined in terms of an Evans function, implies nonlinear stability. The asymptotic rate of decay for the perturbation is found both pointwise and in all L norms, p ≥ 1.

Stability of Scalar Radiative Shock Profiles
This work establishes nonlinear orbital asymptotic stability of scalar radiative shock profiles, namely, traveling wave solutions to the simplified model system of radiating gas [8], consisting of a scalar conservation law coupled with an elliptic equation for the radiation flux. The method is based on the derivation of pointwise Green function bounds and description of the linearized solution ...

Extending previous work with Lattanzio and Mascia on the scalar (in fluid-dynamical variables) Hamer model for a radiative gas, we show nonlinear orbital asymptotic stability of smallamplitude shock profiles of general systems of coupled hyperbolic–eliptic equations of the type modeling a radiative gas, that is, systems of conservation laws coupled with an elliptic equation for the radiation fl...
متن کاملPointwise Green’s Function Estimates Toward Stability for Degenerate Viscous Shock Waves
We consider degenerate viscous shock waves arising in systems of two conservation laws, where degeneracy here describes viscous shock waves for which the asymptotic endstates are sonic to the hyperbolic system (the shock speed is equal to one of the characteristic speeds). In particular, we develop detailed pointwise estimates on the Green’s function associated with the linearized perturbation ...
متن کاملExistence and stability of viscoelastic shock profiles
We investigate existence and stability of viscoelastic shock profiles for a class of planar models including the incompressible shear case studied by Antman and MalekMadani. We establish that the resulting equations fall into the class of symmetrizable hyperbolic–parabolic systems, hence spectral stability implies linearized and nonlinear stability with sharp rates of decay. The new contributio...
متن کاملSpectral stability of small-amplitude viscous shock waves in several space dimensions
A planar viscous shock profile of a hyperbolic-parabolic system of conservation laws is a steady solution in a moving coordinate frame. The asymptotic stability of viscous profiles and the related vanishing-viscosity limit are delicate questions already in the well understood case of one space dimension and even more so in the case of several space dimensions. It is a natural idea to study the ...
