A note on separation conditions of resonance sets in the instability analysis for high-frequency oscillations in geometric optics
Abstract
In this paper, we study the instability of highly-oscillating solutions to semi-linear hyperbolic systems. A instability criterion was given in Lu under rather strong separation conditions of resonance sets: coupled resonance sets are pairwise disjoint. Here we show that such separation conditions in Lu can be relaxed: one of the coupled non-transparent resonance sets is allowed to intersect with at most two others. We obtain the same instability criterion as in Lu. Finally, we give some applications to coupled Klein-Gordon systems with equal masses and nonlinear terms specified particularly, where on the intersections of resonance sets, the related interaction coefficients are non-transparent.
