On the weak limit of rapidly oscillating waves (Q1104149)

A possible representation of a rapidly oscillating wave can be represented as \[ U^{\epsilon}(x,t)=W_ N(\theta (x,t)/\epsilon;\quad \kappa (x,t),\quad \omega (x,t))+O(\epsilon), \] where \(W_ N(\cdot,\kappa,\omega):T^ N\to R\) is defined on the N-torus \(T^ N\) and the N-vectors \(\theta\), \(\kappa\), \(\omega\) are real-valued functions of x and t related by \((\partial \theta /\partial x)=\kappa\), \((\partial \theta /\partial t)=\omega\). An averaging theorem is proved on the so- called locally non-resonant curves \(\kappa:R\to R^ n.\)
