Abstract This paper is concerned with the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem for the spherically symmetric barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients and discontinuous initial data. For the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem, we prove that there exists a unique global piecewise regular solution for piecewise regular initial density with arbitrarily large jump discontinuity. Moreover, we show that the jump of density decays exponentially in time and the piecewise regular solution tends to the equilibrium state exponentially as time tends to infinity.

1 Introduction In this paper, we investigate the exterior problem and the initial boundary value problem to N-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients. In general, the N-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients can be written as  ρt + div(ρU) = 0, (1.1)     (ρU)t + div(ρU ⊗ U) + ∇P (ρ) − div h(ρ)D(U) − ∇ g(ρ)divU = 0,

There is huge literature on the studies of the global existence of weak solutions and dynamical behaviors of jump discontinuity for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with discontinuous initial data, for example, as the viscosity coefficients h(ρ) and g(ρ) are both constants, Hoff considered the global existence of discontinuous solutions of one-dimension Navier-Stokes equations [1–3]. Hoff derived the construction of global spherically symmetric weak solutions of compressible Navier-Stokes equations for isothermal flow with large and discontinuous initial data in reference [4], therein it is shown that the discontinuities in the density and pressure persist for all time, convecting along particle trajectories, and decaying at a rate inversely proportional to the viscosity coefficient. Hoff also obtained the global existenc
