Diffusion Limit of a Hyperbolic System with Relaxation

Shi Jin and Hailiang Liu


Abstract: In this paper we introduce a diffusive scaling to a hyperbolic system with relaxation and prove that, under such a scaling, the solution converges to that of a nonlinear convection-diffusion equation. Using energy estimates, such a limit is justified with the initial data prescribed around a traveling wave solution of the relaxation system.
