摘要:

utt − Δu + ut + divf(u) = 0, t > 0, x = (x1, x′)∈ Rn+(:= R+ × Rn−1),
u(0, x) = u0(x) → u+, as x1 →+∞,

For the non-degenerate case f1(u+) < 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initial-boundary value problem (I) admits a unique global solution u(t, x) which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave Φ(x1) uniformly in x1 ∈R+ as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u(t, x) for →+∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f1(ub) < 0. The main purpose of this paper devoted to discussing the case of f1(ub) ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for
such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.
