Study of the stability of the linearized compressible Navier-Stokes system

A deep analytic analysis of the stability for the one-dimensional linearized compressible Navier-Stokes system (LNSS) is presented. A very detailed study of the spectrum of the unbounded linear differential operator associated with LNSS has been completed. A Fourier analysis method and an explicit calculation using the eigenvalues of the linear operator make it possible to obtain exponential stability results with a decay rate determined solely according to the parameters of LNSS. Consequently, some exponential stability results are proved in different Hilbert spaces, (in <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> -norm and <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>H</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> -norm). Finally, numerical experiments are presented to verify the theoretical results.
