Stability of small amplitude boundary layers for mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems (Q4806468)

An initial-boundary value problem for a one-dimensional system of conservation laws with a small parameter \( \varepsilon > 0,\) is considered \[ u^{\varepsilon}_t + F(u^{\varepsilon})_x = \varepsilon (B(u^{\varepsilon})u^{\varepsilon}_x)_x , \quad x,t > 0, \] where \(u^{\varepsilon} \in \mathbb{R}^n\), \(F: U\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n\), \(B: U\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}\); \(F\), \(B\) are smooth. An initial condition and some dissipative boundary conditions are added to this system. The eigenvalues of \(B \) have nonnegative real parts and the rank of \(B\) does not depend on \(U.\) The author proves that if a boundary layer is weak, then \(u^{\varepsilon}\) converges to an inviscid solution as \( \varepsilon \) tends to zero. An application of this result to the isentropic gas dynamics is given.
