Abstract
To study the dissipation property of a physical system one first considers infinitesimal waves for the analysis of weakly nonlinear phenomena. For some physical systems, the dissipation is partial and there is the appearance of sub-shocks in a strong traveling trajectory. The phenomenon of partial dissipation can occur for systems of hyperbolic balance laws and also for viscous conservation laws in continuum physics. We illustrate the phenomenon for a simple relaxation model and for the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible media. The admissibility criteria and the formation of sub-shocks are studied through the zero viscosity limit.
