Abstract

top
We introduce small viscosity solutions of hyperbolic systems with discontinuous coefficients accross the fixed noncharacteristic hypersurface { x d = 0 } . Under a geometric stability assumption, our first result is obtained, in the multi-D framework, for piecewise smooth coefficients. For our second result, the considered operator is 𝔻 t + a ( x ) 𝔻 x , with s i g n ( x a ( x ) ) > 0 (expansive case not included in our first result), thus resulting in an infinity of weak solutions. Proving that this problem is uniformly Evans-stable, we show that our viscous approach successfully singles out a solution. Both results are new and incorporates a stability result as well as an asymptotic analysis of the convergence at any order, which results in an accurate boundary layer analysis.
