Multidimensional stability of planar viscous shock waves

From MaRDI portal





The author presents a comprehensive treatment of shock stability for multidimensional systems of conservation laws, including both multidimensional and regularizing effects, based on the Evans functions techniques. The notable results, the author indicates in the abstract, include: rigorous justification of the inviscid stability criterion of Erpenbeck-Majda; an ``inviscid-like long-wave stability criterion for viscous overcompressive fronts; a refinement distinguishing weak stability/weak instability in the case of surface waves; the extension to relaxation/real viscosity and combustion; sufficient conditions for nonlinear stability of (strictly parabolic) viscous shock fronts; pointwise bounds for scalar shock fronts; and the extension to general systems of the one-dimensional stability index of Gardner-Zumbrun. The author also indicates open problems and several directions for further development in the theory. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0966.00009].
