A kinetic eikonal equation

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We analyse the linear kinetic transport equation with a BGK relaxation operator. We study the large scale hyperbolic limit (t,x)o(t/eps,x/eps). We derive a new type of limiting Hamilton-Jacobi equation, which is analogous to the classical eikonal equation derived from the heat equation with small diffusivity. We prove well-posedness of the phase problem and convergence towards the viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This is a preliminary work before analysing the propagation of reaction fronts in kinetic equations.
