Abstract

The presence of relaxation terms and higher-order gradients in the dynamical equations makes it very difficult to solve them because they require the introduction of supplementary boundary and initial conditions compared to classical thermo-hydrodynamics. Instead of trying to solve the whole mathematical problem, it is more fruitful to concentrate on the analysis of waves in infinite and semi-infinite media, which is, furthermore, a situation of great experimental interest.
