Proposes a method of asymptotic analysis of solutions that can be applied in the case of the so-called 'smoothed shock waves', ie, nonlinear waves that vary fast in a neighborhood of the front and slowly outside of this neighborhood. This book presents many examples originating from problems of hydrodynamics, nonlinear optics, and plasma physics.
