摘要
Making use of detailed pointwise Green's function bounds obtained in a previous work for the linearized equations about the wave, we give a straightforward derivation of the (nonlinear) L(P)-asymptotic behavior of;a scalar (planar) viscous shock front under perturbations in L(1) boolean AND L(infinity) with first moment in the normal direction to the front, in all dimensions d greater than or equal to 2. For dimension d greater than or equal to 3, we establish sharp LP decay rates by a much simpler argument using only L(P) information on the Green's function, for perturbations merely in L(1) boolean AND L(infinity). These results simplify and greatly extend previous results of Goodman-Miller and Goodman, respectively which were obtained under assumptions of weak shock strength and artificial (identity) viscosity, and, in the case of asymptotic behavior, exponential decay of perturbations in the direction normal to the shock front. For perturbations localized as (1+\x(1)\)(-1) in the normal direction, but not possessing a first moment, we give a refined picture of the linearized L(P)-asymptotic behavior different from the near-field approximation of Goodman and Miller.
