Balanced flux formulations for multidimensional Evans-function computations for viscous shocks

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Evans function is a powerful tool for the stability analysis of viscous shock profiles; zeros of this function carry stability information. In the one-dimensional case, it is typical to compute the Evans function using Goodman's integrated coordinates [G1]; this device facilitates the search for zeros of the Evans function by winding number arguments. Although integrated coordinates are not available in the multidimensional case, we show here that there is a choice of coordinates which gives similar advantages.
