Rates of Convergence to Self-Similar Solutions of Burgers' Equation

Burgers’ Equation ut + cuux = νuxx is a nonlinear partial differential equation which arises in models of traffic and fluid flow. It is perhaps the simplest equation describing waves under the influence of diffusion. We consider the large time behavior of solutions with exponentially localized initi...
