The contraction of solutions with large perturbation in multiple space dimensions from the oscillatory dispersive planar shock

arXiv:2607.27118

summary

The paper proves that planar oscillatory or monotone dispersive shock profiles of the dissipative Kadomtsev‑Petviashvili equation and the multi‑dimensional KdV‑Burgers equation contract in the L² norm even under arbitrarily large perturbations, allowing for time‑dependent Lipschitz shifts.

Abstract

In this paper, we show the contraction property of the planar oscillatory or monotone dispersive shock profiles of the dissipative Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation modelling water waves and the multi-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) Burgers equation under arbitrarily large perturbations in two space dimensions, up to Lipschitz time-dependent shifts. This stability result extends the results of two recent papers by Chen, Eun, Kang, and Shen on contraction for the KdV-Burgers equation.
