Contraction property for large perturbations of shocks of the barotropic Navier-Stokes system

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the construction of a pseudo-norm, for which small shock profiles of the barotropic Navier-Stokes equation have a contraction property. This contraction property holds in the class of any large 1D weak solutions to the barotropic Navier-Stokes equation. It implies a stability condition which is independent of the strength of the viscosity. The proof is based on the relative entropy method, and is reminiscent to the notion of a-contraction first introduced by the authors in the hyperbolic case.
