Zero relaxation limit for piecewise smooth solutions to a rate-type viscoelastic system in the presence of shocks. (English) Zbl 0972.35067

Authors’ abstract: We study a rate-type viscoelastic system proposed in I. Suliciu [Int. J. Eng. Sci. 28, No. 8, 829-841 (1990; Zbl 0738.73007)], which is a \(3\times 3\) hyperbolic system with relaxation. As the relaxation time tends to zero, this system converges to the well-known \(p\)-system formally. In the case that the solutions of the \(p\)-system are piecewise smooth, including finitely many noninteracting shock waves, we show that there exist smooth solutions for Suliciu’s model which converge to those of the \(p\)-system strongly as the relaxation time goes to zero. The method used here is the so-called matched asymptotic analysis suggested in J. Goodman and Z. Xin [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 121, No. 3, 235-265 (1992; Zbl 0792.35115)], which includes two parts: the matched asymptotic expansion and stability analysis.
