On asymptotic stability of noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We extend our recent work with Kevin Zumb run on long-time stability of multidimensional noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers of a class of symmetrizable hyperbolic-parabolic systems. Our main improvements are (i) to establish the stability for a larger class of systems in dimensions d ≥ 2, yielding the result for certain magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) layers, and (ii) to drop a technical assumption on the so-called glancing set which was used in previous works. We also provide a different proof of low-frequency estimates by employing the method of Kreiss' symmetrizers, giving an alternative to the previous one relying on detailed derivation of pointwise bounds on the resolvent kernel.
