Reflection of conormal pulse solutions to large variable-coefficient semilinear hyperbolic systems
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We provide a rigorous justication of nonlinear geometric optics expansions for reflecting emph{pulses} in space dimensions . The pulses arise as solutions to variable coefficient semilinear first-order hyperbolic systems. The justification applies to systems with interacting pulses which depend on phases that may be nonlinear. The emph{coherence} assumption made in a number of earlier works is dropped. We consider problems in which incoming pulses are generated from pulse boundary data as well as problems in which a single outgoing pulse reflects off a possibly curved boundary to produce a number of incoming pulses. Although we focus here on boundary problems, it is clear that similar results hold by similar methods for the Cauchy problem for systems in free space.
