Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with the global existence of smooth solutions to two types of initial-boundary value problems to a system of equations describing one-dimensional motion of self-gravitating, radiative and chemically reactive gas whose viscosity coefficient depends on density. The main ingredient of the analysis is to derive the positive lower and upper bounds on both the specific volume and the absolute temperature.

Keywords
