Abstract

We discuss the stability and instability of steady-state solutions for a hydrodynamic model of semiconductors. We study the case where the doping profile is close to a positive constant and depends on the special variable x. We shall show that a given steady-state solution is asymptotically stable or unstable, depending on whether or not the density of the initial data satisfies P = 0, where P is defined in (3.12).
