Abstract:
I present a rigorous convergence result of smooth solutions to a  ingular semilinear hyperbolic approximation, inspired by the hydrodynamic limits of the Boltzmann equation, to the solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in Sobolev spaces. The proof is based on the use of a constant right symmetrizer, weighted with  respect to the parameter of the singular pertubation system. The symmetrizer provides a conservative-dissipative form for the system and this allow us to perform uniform energy estimates and to get the
convergence by compactness.
