Abstract

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation in the half space R+ {ut - utxx - uxx + f (u)x = 0, t > 0, x is an element of R+, u(0, x) = u(0) (x) -> u(+), as x -> +infinity, (I) u(t, 0) = ub. Here u(t, x) is an unknown function of t > 0 and x E R+, u+ ub are two given constant states and the nonlinear function f(u) is assumed to be a non-convex function which has one or finitely many inflection points. In this paper, we consider ub < u(+). For the non-degenerate case f'(u(+)) < 0, we show the existence and the global stability of strong boundary layer solution phi(x) with the above non-convex function f(u) satisfying (1 3). In this case, the corresponding algebraic convergence rate is also obtained. Our analysis is based on the space-time weighted energy method (cf. [4, 11]) combined with some delicate estimates.
