Abstract
The goal of this work is to provide a general framework to study singular limits of initial-value problems for first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with stiff source terms in several space variables. We propose structural stability conditions of the problem and construct an approximate solution by a formal asymptotic expansion with initial layer corrections. In general, the equations defining the approximate solution may come together with differential constraints, and so far there are no results for the existence of solutions. Therefore, sufficient conditions are shown so that these equations are parabolic without differential constraint. We justify rigorously the validity of the asymptotic expansion on a time interval independent of the parameter, in the case of the existence of approximate solutions. Applications of the result include Euler equations with damping and an Euler-Maxwell system with relaxation. The latter system was considered in [27,9] which contain ideas used in the present paper.
