Abstract

Evolution equations featuring nonlinearity, dispersion and dissipation are considered here. For classes of such equations that include the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation and the BBM-Burgers equation, the zero dissipation limit is studied. Uniform bounds independent of the dissipation coefficient are derived and zero dissipation limit results with optimal convergence rates are established.
