Construction of boundary conditions for hyperbolic relaxation approximations II: Jin-Xin relaxation model

Abstract

This is our second work in the series about constructing boundary conditions for hyperbolic relaxation approximations. The present work is concerned with the one-dimensional linearized Jin-Xin relaxation model, a convenient approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws, with non-characteristic boundaries. Assume that proper boundary conditions are given for the conservation laws. We construct boundary conditions for the relaxation model with the expectation that the resultant initial-boundary-value problems are approximations to the given conservation laws with the boundary conditions. The constructed boundary conditions are highly non-unique. Their satisfaction of the generalized Kreiss condition is analyzed. The compatibility with initial data is studied. Furthermore, by resorting to a formal asymptotic expansion, we prove the effectiveness of the approximations.
