Multidimensional \(\varepsilon\)-stratified waves and oscillations (Q1210412)

It is considered the quasilinear problem \[ \partial_t u+ \sum^n_{j= 1} A_j(b, u) \partial_j u= F(b, u),\quad \partial_j= \partial/ \partial x_j,\tag{1} \] where \(x= (t= x_0, x_1,\dots, x_n)\in \mathbb{R}^{n+ 1}\), \(u= (u_1(x),\dots, u_N(x))\) is an unknown function, \(b= (b_1(x),\dots, b_{N'}(x))\) -- a given function which plays the role of a parameter. The real matrices \(A_j(b, u)\), as well as the function \(F(b, u)\) are from the class \(C^\infty\) with respect to each argument in a neighbourhood of the vector \((b^0, u^0)\in \mathbb{R}^{N'+ N}\), and system (1) is hyperbolic in this region. Results of existence, stability and on the life span of the regular solutions which admit asymptotic development \[ u^\varepsilon(x)= u^0(x)+ \varepsilon U^1(x, \varphi(x)/\varepsilon)+\cdots+ \varepsilon^k U^k(x, \varphi(x)/\varepsilon)+ o(\varepsilon^k) \] are obtained. Here \(u^0\) is a solution of the system (1), the functions \(U^k(x, \theta)\), called profiles, are almost-periodic with respect to the variable \(\theta\in \mathbb{R}\).
