Crossover asymptotics and a sharp confinement rate for the viscous Burgers equation

We study the one-dimensional viscous Burgers equation on $(0,L)$ with the conservative boundary conditions $u_x=-u^2$. On the half-line, solutions approach a nonlinear self-similar profile, whereas on a bounded interval they converge to a nonconstant equilibrium. We describe explicitly how the dynamics passes between t...
