متن کاملValidity of Nonlinear Geometric Optics for Entropy Solutions of Multidimensional Scalar Conservation Laws
Nonlinear geometric optics with various frequencies for entropy solutions only in L∞ of multidimensional scalar conservation laws is analyzed. A new approach to validate nonlinear geometric optics is developed via entropy dissipation through scaling, compactness, homogenization, and L–stability. New multidimensional features are recognized, especially including nonlinear propagations of oscilla...

This paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear geometric optics in Colombeau algebras of generalized functions in the case of Cauchy problems for semilinear hyperbolic systems in one space variable. Extending classical results, we establish a generalized variant of nonlinear geometric optics. As an application, a nonlinear superposition principle is obtained when distributional initial data ar...

متن کاملWeakly Nonlinear Geometric Optics for Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws by Gui - Qiang Chen University of Oxford Wei Xiang University of Oxford
We present a new approach to analyze the validation of weakly nonlinear geometric optics for entropy solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws whose eigenvalues are allowed to have constant multiplicity and corresponding characteristic fields to be linearly degenerate. The approach is based on our careful construction of more accurate auxiliary approximation to weakly nonli...
