Abstract
In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of viscous shock profile for the Burgers equation on the half-space , subject to the boundary conditions and . Here, the parameter measures the strength of fast diffusion. A key challenge arises from the pronounced singularity in the diffusivity at and the boundary layer. We demonstrate that the long-time behavior of converges to a shifted shock profile , where is governed by the boundary layer dynamics at and driven by the initial data . To overcome the singularity from fast diffusion compounded by the bad effect of boundary layer for wave stability, some new techniques for weighted energy estimates are introduced artfully.
