Nonlinear Stability of Viscous Shock Waves

Nonlinear Stability of Shock Waves for Viscous Conservation Laws

where u = u{x,t) E R , the flux f(u) is a smooth n-vector-valued function, and the viscosity B(u) is a smooth n x n matrix. We are interested in the stability of traveling waves, the "viscous shock waves", for (1). It is shown that when the initial data are a perturbation of viscous shock waves, then the solution converges to these viscous shock waves, properly translated in space, in the unifo...

Nonlinear stability of viscous shock wave to one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density dependent viscous coefficient

We prove nonlinear stability of viscous shock wave of arbitrary amplitudes to a one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density dependent viscosity. Under the assumption that the viscous coefficient is given as a power function of density, any viscous shock wave is shown to be nonlinear stable for small initial perturbations with integral zero. In contrast to previo...

Nonlinear Stability of Large Amplitude Viscous Shock Waves of a Generalized Hyperbolic{parabolic System Arising in Chemotaxis

Traveling wave (band) behavior driven by chemotaxis was observed experimentally by Adler and was modeled by Keller and Segel. For a quasilinear hyperbolic parabolic system that arises as a non-di®usive limit of the Keller Segel model with nonlinear kinetics, we establish the existence and nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions with large amplitudes. The numerical simulations are perfor...

Stability and Dynamics of Viscous Shock Waves

We examine from a classical dynamical systems point of view stability, dynamics, and bifurcation of viscous shock waves and related solutions of nonlinear pde. The central object of our investigations is the Evans function: its meaning, numerical approximation, and behavior in various asymptotic limits.
