Abstract: We consider semilinear hyperbolic systems with a trilinear nonlinearity. Both the differential equation and the initial data contain the inverse of a small parameter $varepsilon$, and typical solutions oscillate with frequency proportional to $1/varepsilon$ in time and space. Moreover, solutions have to be computed on time intervals of length $1/varepsilon$ in order to study nonlinear and diffractive effects. As a consequence, direct numerical simulations are extremely costly or even impossible. We propose an analytical approximation and prove that it approximates the exact solution up to an error of $mathcalO(varepsilo{n}^2)$ on time intervals of length $1/varepsilon$. This is a significant improvement over the classical nonlinear Schr"odinger approximation, which only yields an accuracy of $mathcalO(varepsilon)$.
