We are interested in the time-asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws. Through the pointwise estimates for the Green's function of the linearized system and the analysis of coupling of nonlinear diffusion waves, we obtain explicit expressions of the time-as…
In this paper we establish the nonlinear stability of shock waves for viscous conservation laws. It is shown that when the initial data is a perturbation of viscous shock waves, then the solution converges to viscous shock waves, properly translated, as time tends to infinity.
This book compiles historical notes and a review of the work of the author and his associates on shock compression of condensed matter (SCCM). The work includes such topics as foundational aspects of SCCM, thermodynamics, thermodynamics of defects, and plasticity as they relate …
