Abstract:

A one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamic model (or quantum Euler-Poisson system) for semiconductors with initial boundary conditions is considered for general pressure-density function. The existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the corresponding steady-state quantum hydrodynamic equations is proved. Furthermore, the global existence of classical solution,
when the initial datum is a perturbation of the steady-state solution, is obtained. This solution tends to the corresponding steady-state solution exponentially fast as the time tends to infinity.

Key words: Quantum hydrodynamic equation, quantum Euler-Poisson system, global existence of classical solution, nonlinear fourth-order wave equation,
exponential decay, large-time behavior
