Long-time stability of noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers
We report our results on long-time stability of multi–dimensional noncharacteristic boundary layers of a class of hyperbolic–parabolic systems including the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with inflow [outflow] boundary conditions, under the assumption of strong spectral, or uniform Evans, stability. Evans stability has been verified for small-amplitude layers by Guès, Métivier, Williams, and Zumbrun. For large–amplitudes, it may be checked numerically, as done in one–dimensional case for isentropic...
