Toward uniform existence and convergence theorems for three-scale systems of hyperbolic PDEs with general initial data

Abstract

Abstract Uniform existence of solutions to initial-value problems and convergence of appropriately filtered solutions are proven for a special class of three-scale singular limit equations, without any restriction on the initial data. The uniform existence is proven using a novel system of energy estimates. The convergence result is based on a detailed analysis of the fastest-scale oscillations, which unlike in two-scale systems have no explicit solution formula.
