    Abstract

    This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the solution toward the planar rarefaction wave r( j) connecting u+ and u- for the scalar viscous conservation law in two space dimensions. We assume that the initial data U0(X,y) tends to constant states u± as x -»±00, respectively. Then, the convergence rate to r(j) of the solution u(t,i,j/) is investigated without the smallness conditions of |+ -u-| and the initial disturbance. The proof is given by elementary Z/2-energy method.
