Abstract

We present counter-intuitive examples of a viscous regularizations of a two-dimensional strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws. The regularizations are obtained using two different viscosity matrices. While for both of the constructed ``viscous'' systems waves propagating in either xx- or yy-directions are stable, oblique waves may be linearly unstable. Numerical simulations fully corroborate these analytical results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first nontrivial result related to the multidimensional Gelfand problem. Our conjectures provide direct answer to Gelfand's problem both in one- and multi-dimensional cases.
