Fast singular limits of hyperbolic PDEs (Q1340455)

The symmetric-hyperbolic system containing the small parameter \(\varepsilon\), \[ \partial_t U+ \sum K^i \partial_{\eta_i} U= \varepsilon[\sum A^i(U) \partial_{x_i} U+ \sum D^i(U) \partial_{\eta_i} U+ F(U)],\;\eta\in \mathbb{T}^m,\;x\in \mathbb{R}^n \] is considered. The initial data lies in \(H(\mathbb{T}^m\times \mathbb{R}^n)\). It is well known that, if the additional independent slow variable \(x\) is absent, then the leading term of the asymptotics depends on the fast variables \(\eta\), \(t\) and slow the one \(\tau= \varepsilon t\). In the case under consideration the leading term \(U_0(\eta, t, x, \tau)\) is constructed in the form depending on the additional slow variable \(x\). The existence theorem and an estimate of the remainder is obtained as follows: \(U(\eta, t, x, \varepsilon)= U_0(\eta, t, x, \tau)+ o(1)\), as \(\varepsilon\to 0\), uniformly for long time intervals \(0\leq t\leq O\) \((\varepsilon^{- 1})\).
