Tp. Liu et W. Wang, THE POINTWISE ESTIMATES OF DIFFUSION WAVE FOR THE NAVIER-STOKES SYSTEMS IN ODD MULTIDIMENSIONS, Communications in Mathematical Physics, 196(1), 1998, pp. 145-173
We study the dissipation of solutions of the isentropic Navier-Stokes
equations in odd multi-dimensions. Pointwise estimates of the time-asy
mptotic shape of the solutions are obtained and shown to exhibit the g
eneralized Huygen's principle. Our approach is based on the detailed a
nalysis of the Green function of the linearized system. This is used t
o study the coupling of nonlinear diffusion waves.
