摘要
We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a model of hyperbolicelliptic coupled system on the half-line R＋ = （0, ∞）,with the Dirichlet boundary condition u（0, t） = 0. S. Kawashima and Y. Tanaka [Kyushu J. Math., 58（2004）, 211-250] have shown that the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem behaviors like rarefaction waves and obtained its convergence rate when u_ u＋. Our main concern in this paper is the boundary effect. In the case of null-Dirichlet boundary condition on u, asymptotic behavior of the solution （u, q） is proved to be rarefaction wave as t tends to infinity. Its convergence rate is also obtained by the standard L2-energy method and Ll-estimate. It decays much lower than that of the corresponding Cauchy problem.
