# Stability of boundary layers for the inflow compressible Navier-Stokes equations

• In this paper, we consider the boundary layer stability of the one-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with an inflow boundary condition. We assume only one of the two characteristics to the corresponding Euler equations is negative up to some small time. We prove the existence of the boundary layers, then instead of using the skew symmetric matrix, we give a higher convergence rate of the approximate solution than the previous results by a standard energy method as long as the strength of the boundary layers is suitably small.
