GEOMETRIC OPTICS WITH CRITICAL VANISHING VISCOSITY FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL SEMILINEAR INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM STEPHANE JUNCA Abstract. We study propagations of high frequency oscillations for one dimensional semi-linear hyperbolic system with small parabolic perturbation. We obtain a new de- generate parabolic system for profile, and valid an asymptotic development in a spirit of Joly, Metivier and Rauch. key words: geometric optics, small viscosity, profile, phase, non stationary phase, max- imum principle, energy estimates, interpolation, weakly coupled parabolic systems. 1. Introduction Joly, Metivier and Rauch in [13] give a rigorous and deep description of solutions to one dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic equations with smooth and highly oscillatory initial data. On the other hand, numerous physical problems involve parabolic partial differential equations with small viscosity, for instance Navier-Stokes system with large Reynolds number. Then it is of interest to put the Joly, Metivier, Rauch framework with a small diffusion. The first step to study such multiphase expansions is the semilinear case. So we wish to investigate propagations of high frequency oscillations for following nonlinear parabolic system with highly oscillatory initial data u?0 and small positive viscosity ?: ?? ∂2u? ∂x2 + ∂u? ∂t +A(t, x) ∂u? ∂x = F (t, x, u?)(1.1) u?(0, x) = u?0(x).
