Abstract

This paper is concerned with large-time behavior of solutions to the outflow problem of full compressible Navier–Stokes equations in the half line. This is one out of the series of papers by the authors on the stability of nonlinear waves to the outflow problem. We show the time-asymptotic stability of degenerate (transonic) stationary solution for the general gas including ideal polytropic gas. The proof is based on delicate energy estimates.
