Abstract
We consider the asymptotic stability of viscous shock wave φ for scalar viscous conservation laws ut+f(u)χ=uχχ on the half-space (-∞, 0) with boundary values u|χ=-∞=u-,u|χ=0=u+. Our problem is divided into three cases depending on the sign of shock speed s of the shock (u-, u+). When s≤0, the asymptotic state of u becomes φ(·+d(t)), where d(t) depends implicitly on the initial data u(χ, 0) and is related to the boundary layer of the solution at the boundary χ=0. The stability of this state for s<0 will be shown by applying the weighted energy method. For s=0 a conjecture on d(t) will be presented. The case s>0 is also treated.
