Vanishing viscosity with short wave-long wave interactions for systems of conservation laws (Q982306): Difference between revisions

The authors propose new models for short wave-long wave interactions described by systems of conservation laws coupled with a semilinear Schrödinger equation. For all these models they study the convergence of the vanishing viscosity method. The limit of the vanishing viscosity solutions is proved to be a weak solution of the Cauchy problem for a system of Benney's type, presenting a nonlinear coupling between the Schrödinger equation and the respective hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The authors also introduce some examples where the convergence of solutions is analyzed when both the viscosity and the interaction parameters go to zero. In these examples, it is shown that, in the limit, the Schrödinger equation decouples from the system of conservation laws, and the limit of the approximate solutions is a weak solution of the decoupled system of conservation laws.
