Two moment systems for computing multiphase semiclassical limits of the Schrödinger equation.

Abstract
Two systems of hyperbolic equations, arising in the multiphase semiclassical limit of the linear Schr\"odinger equations, are investigated. One stems from a Wigner measure analysis and uses a closure by the Delta functions, whereas the other relies on the classical WKB expansion and uses the Heaviside functions for closure. The two resulting moment systems are weakly and non-strictly hyperbolic respectively. They provide two different Eulerian methods able to reproduce superimposed signals with a finite number of phases. Analytical properties of these moment systems are investigated and compared. Efficient numerical discretizations and test-cases with increasing difficulty are presented.
