| contents | This paper studies the stability and large-time behavior of the three-dimensional (3-D) Boltzmann equation near shock profiles. We prove the nonlinear stability of the composite wave consisting of two shock profiles under general perturbations without the assumption of integral zero of macroscopic quantities. To address the challenge caused by the compressibility of shock profiles, we apply the method of anti-derivative based on macro-micro decomposition. However, the system of anti-derivatives presents certain difficulties. Firstly, general perturbations may generate diffusion waves that evolve and interact with shock profiles, resulting in errors that are not controllable. We therefore introduce a set of coupled diffusion waves to cancel out these poor errors and perform careful estimates on wave interactions. Secondly, we perform diagonalized system estimates to fully exploit the compressibility of shock profiles and control terms that decay slowly. Thirdly, the presence of diffusion waves causes critical terms with decay $(1+t)^{-1}$, and we introduce a Poincaré type of inequality to address these terms. Finally, estimates on anti-derivatives can only control terms along the propagation direction, while for transversal directions, we use the entropy-entropy flux pair as well as the Poincaré inequality to control the lower order terms using diffusion terms. As a result, we obtain nonlinear stability through the energy method, which is the first stability result for the planar shock of the multi-dimensional Boltzmann equation to the best of our knowledge. |
