Convergence to steady states in a viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation with degenerate diffusion (Q1047674)

This paper deals with weak solutions of the one-dimensional viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ u_t= \big(|u_x|^{p-2}u_x\big)_x+ |u_x|^q \quad\text{in }(-R,R)\times(0,\infty), \] with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, where \(R>0\), \(p>2\) and \(1<q<p-1\). For these solutions we investigate the convergence to steady states via a Lyapunov functional, which is constructed with a technique developed by Zelenyak.
