Asymptotic stability of a stationary solution to a hydrodynamic model of semiconductors (Q2465252)

The paper is concerned with the existence of the stationary solution and asymptotic stability properties of solutions to a hydrodynamic system of partial differential equations, devised to describe the motion of electrons in semiconductors. A mathematical survey of this issue can be found in the monograph ``Semiconductor equations'' by \textit{P. A. Markowich, C. A. Ringhofer} and \textit{C. Schmeiser} [Berlin: Springer-Verlag (1990; Zbl 0765.35001)]. Departing from earlier discussions of transport of electrons in semiconductors and the inferred one-dimensional steady state hydrodynamic model, the present paper addresses an issue of the existence and the asymptotic stability of its solutions, without specific demands concerning the so-called doping profile.
