GLOBAL SMOOTH SOLUTIONS OF DISSIPATIVE BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR FIRST ORDER QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS

This paper discusses the following initial-boundary value problems for the first orderquasilinear hyperbolic systems:(u)/(t)+A(u)(u)/(x)=0,(1)u~Ⅱ=F(u~Ⅰ),as x=0,(2)u~Ⅰ=G(u~Ⅱ),as x=L,(3)u=u~0(x),as t=0,(4)where the boundary conditions(2),(3)satisfy F(0)=0,G(0)=0 and the dissipativeconditions,that is,the spectral radii of matrices B_1=(F)/(u~Ⅰ)(0)(G)/(u~Ⅱ)(0)and B_2(G)/(u~Ⅱ)(0)(F)/(u~Ⅰ)(0) are less than unit.Under certain assumptions it is proved that the initial-boundary problem (1)—(4)admits a unique global smooth solution u(x,t)and the C~1-norm丨u(t)丨σ~2of u(x,t)decaysexponentially to zero as t→∞,provided that the C~1-norm丨u~0丨σ~1of the initial data issufficiently small.
