Abstract

We extend our recent work with K. Zumbrun on long-time stability of multi-dimensional noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers of a class of symmetrizable hyperbolic-parabolic systems. Our main improvements are (i) to establish the stability for a larger class of systems in dimensions d2d\ge 2, yielding the result for certain magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) layers; (ii) to drop a technical assumption on the so--called glancing set which was required in previous works. We also provide a different proof of low-frequency estimates by employing the method of Kreiss' symmetrizers, replacing the one relying on detailed derivation of pointwise bounds on the resolvent kernel.
