Diffusive N-Waves and Metastability in the Burgers Equation

Abstract: We study the effect of viscosity on the large time behavior of the viscous Burgers equation by using a transformed version of Burgers (in self-similar variables) that captures efficiently the mechanism of transition to the asymptotic states and allows us to estimate the time of evolution from an N-wave to the final stage of a diffusion wave. Then we construct certain special solutions of diffusive N-waves with unequal masses. Finally, using a set of similarity variables and a variant of the Cole-Hopf transform… Show more

“…In [KT01], Kim and Tzavaras prove that the inviscid N-wave is the point-wise limit, as µ → 0, of the diffusive N-wave. Here we extend their argument to show that one also has convergence in the L 2 (m) norm.…”

“…The self-similar profiles are then diffusive, smooth and of constant sign. Nevertheless, when ν is sufficiently small and time is large (but not enough for the viscosity to be dominant), the behavior of the solutions is close to the hyperbolic case [29].…”

“…In the continuous case (see Fig. 1), the changing sign N-waves are the asymptotic profiles as t → ∞ if ν = 0 [32] and intermediate metastable states if ν > 0 [29]. In the hyperbolic regime, the key point in the identification of the asymptotic N-wave, which belongs to a two-parameter family, is the preservation of the quantities…”

“…Kasu biskosoko soluzioek antzeko portaera dute hasiera batean (ν zenbat eta txikiagoa izan, orduan eta luzaroago iraungo du [17]), baina azkenik Gaussen kurbaren itxura duen uhinerantz jotzen dute beti. Kasu honetan, parametro bat baino ez da konstante mantentzen: Lehenengoa kurba urdinaren antzekoa izango da eta bigarrena, ostera, kurba gorria bezalakoa.…”
