# Asymptotic stability of steady state solutions for the relativistic Euler-Poisson equations

• Under the conditions of both the initial data being the small perturbation of given steady state solution and the boundary strength being small, the global existence of smooth solution to the initial boundary value problem of the relativistic Euler-Poisson equations is proved. The convergence of the global smooth solution to smooth steady state solution in time exponentially is also obtained when time goes to infinity.
