S.V. Zakharov. Matching of asymptotic solutions of a parabolic equation in the Cauchy problem with the multiscale evolution of a singularity ... P. 96-110

A bisingular Cauchy problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with a small parameter at the higher derivative is considered. The initial function depends on the space variable with another small parameter, and conditions are fulfilled under which the statement of the problem becomes a model of the evolution of nonlinear compression waves with a large initial gradient in physical systems in the presence of a small dissipation. In the limit case of the zero dissipation, when the equation under consideration becomes a first-order equation, there is a shock wave, whose origin is a singular point of the solution. Near the singular point, on the scales of the small value of dissipation, an asymptotic solution of the problem in the small parameters is constructed. With the help of the matching method on the basis of an earlier obtained asymptotic solution in a smaller region, it is established that the new asymptotic solution must have the form of a series in integer powers of the ratio of small parameters and its logarithm, and for the coefficients of this series a recurrence system of parabolic equations together with the corresponding asymptotic conditions of matching is obtained. After reducing this recurrence system of problems to integral relations, by applying the method of successive approximations and estimates of integral convolutions, the existence of necessary solutions is proved. In addition, it is shown that the constructed series is suitable in a transitional region of the multiscale evolution of the singularity between its initial stage and the boundary layer near the shock wave, and also in the particular case of the Burgers equation some explicit formulas are given.

Keywords: quasilinear parabolic equation, large initial gradient, bisingular Cauchy problem, singular point, multiscale evolution, self-similarity, Poincaré and Erdélyi asymptotics, matching method, dissipative compression wave, shock wave
