The purpose of this article is to study the persistence of solution of a hyperbolic system under small viscous perturbation. Here, the solution of the hyperbolic system is supposed to be periodic: it is a periodic perturbation of a…
The conditions for the existence of the Chapman-Enskog first-order solution to the Boltzmann equation for a dilute gas are examined from two points of view. The traditional procedure is contrasted with a somehow more formal approach based…

This paper deals with the numerical (finite volume) approximation of reaction-diffusion systems with relaxation, among which the hyperbolic extension of the Allen--Cahn equation represents a notable prototype. Appropriate discretizations…
Within about a year (1916-1917) Chapman and Enskog independently proposed an important expansion for solving the Boltzmann equation. However, the expansion is divergent or indeterminant in the case of relaxation time $\tau \geq 1$. Even…
