Singular limits for the Riemann problem: general diffusion, relaxation, and boundary conditions
[Limites singulières pour le problème de Riemann : diffusion, relaxation et conditions aux limites]

Nous considérons les approximations auto-semblables d'un système hyperbolique non-linéaire à une dimension d'espace avec donnée initiale de type « problème de Riemann », en particulier le système tuε+A(uε)xuε=εtx(B(uε)xuε), avec ε>0. Nous supposons que la matrice A(u) est strictement hyperbolique et que la matrice de diffusion satisfait |B(u)Id|1. Aucune hypothèse de « vraie non-linéarité » n'est imposée. Nous démontrons que ce problème admet une solution régulière, auto-semblable uε=uε(x/t) de variation totale uniformément bornée par rapport au paramètre de diffusion ε>0. Lorsque ε0, les fonctions uε convergent vers une solution du problème de Riemann associé au système hyperbolique. Nous établissons aussi un résultat analogue pour les approximations par relaxation données par tuε+xvε=0, tvε+a2B(u)xuε=(f(uε)vε)/(εt). Ces résultats sont finalement étendus au problème de Riemann associé à ces mêmes régularisations et posé dans un demi-espace avec condition au bord.

We consider self-similar approximations of non-linear hyperbolic systems in one space dimension with Riemann initial data, especially the system tuε+A(uε)xuε=εtx(B(uε)xuε), with ε>0. We assume that the matrix A(u) is strictly hyperbolic and that the diffusion matrix satisfies |B(u)Id|1. No genuine non-linearity assumption is required. We show the existence of a smooth, self-similar solution uε=uε(x/t) which has bounded total variation, uniformly in the diffusion parameter ε>0. In the limit ε0, the functions uε converge towards a solution of the Riemann problem associated with the hyperbolic system. A similar result is established for the relaxation approximation tuε+xvε=0, tvε+a2B(u)xuε=(f(uε)vε)/(εt). We also cover the boundary-value problem in a half-space for the same regularizations.
