Derivation of effective kinetic equations describing oscillations in viscoelasticity and in compressible Navier-Stokes
Athanasios E. Tzavaras
These lecture notes are devoted to solutions of hyperbolic-parabolic systems with persistent oscillations. We consider two examples both from mechanics: (i) The system of viscoelas…

We consider a set of bipolar Euler-Poisson equations and study two asymptotic limiting processes. The first is the zero-electron-mass limit, which formally results in a non-linear…
