Abstract

We study the nonlinear stability of the equilibrium state associated with the initial boundary value problem for the Broadwell model with transonic boundary. Based on the Green's function of this linearized initial boundary value problem and on the understanding of its action on microscopic data, we establish the pointwise convergence of the solution toward the equilibrium state under small perturbation, via a solution representation and Picard-like iterations.
