Global solutions to physical vacuum problem of non-isentropic viscous gaseous stars and nonlinear asymptotic stability of stationary solutions

摘要

This paper is concerned with spherically symmetric motions of non-isentropic viscous gaseous stars with self-gravitation. When the stationary entropy (S) over bar (x) is spherically symmetric and satisfies a suitable smallness condition, the existence and properties of the stationary solutions are obtained for 6/5 gamma 2 with weaker constraints upon (S) over bar (x) compared with the one in [26], where gamma is the adiabatic exponent. The global existence of strong solutions capturing the physical vacuum singularity that the sound speed is C-1/2-Holder continuous across the vacuum boundary to a simplified system for non-isentropic viscous flow with self-gravitation and the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the stationary solution are proved when 4/3 gamma 2 with the detailed convergence rates, motivated by the results and analysis of the nonlinear asymptotic stability of Lane-Emden solutions for isentropic flows in [29,30].
