Spectral stability of small-amplitude shock profiles for dissipative symmetric hyperbolic-parabolic systems (Q1596389)

The authors prove the one-dimensional spectral stability of small amplitude shock profiles for viscosity conservation laws that are dissipative symmetric hyperbolic-parabolic in the sense of Kawashima. This is a generalization of the Matsumura-Mishihara and Kawashima-Matsumara-Mishihara results for the case of compressible gas dynamics. The proof follows a different approach as those of Kawashima-Matsumura-Mishihara.
