Abstract: |
We are interested in the Burgers` equation featuring critical fast diffusion in form of $u_t+f(u)_x = (\ln u)_{xx}$. The solution possesses a strong singularity when $u=0$ hence bringing technical challenges. We investigate the asymptotic stability of viscous shocks, particularly those with shock profiles vanishing at the far field $x=+\infty$. To overcome the singularity, we introduce some weight functions and show the nonlinear stability of shock profiles through the weighted energy method. |
