Nonlinear oscillations and caustics
A semilinear wave equation \(\partial^2_tu-\Delta u=0\) with fast oscillatory Cauchy data \[ u|_{t=0}= u_0(x)+\varepsilon U_0(x, \phi(x)/\varepsilon),\quad \partial_tu|_{t= 0}= U_1(x,\phi(x)/\varepsilon), \] as \(\varepsilon\to 0\) is considered. There are both a discussion on the caustics in the geometric optic approach and a brief review of the author results. One of the results is a nonlinear system, which gives the first order approximation \(u\approx u_0(x,t)+ \varepsilon u_1(x,t,\varepsilon)\). It is demonstrated that the Lagrangian integrals may be used for approximation of the solution near caustics in the nonlinear problem as well. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00048].
