A diffusion equation in transparent media

Abstract: In this paper we study the homogeneous relativistic heat equation (HRHE) obtained as asymptotic limit of the so-called relativistic heat equation (RHE) when the kinematic viscosity ν → ∞. These equations were introduced in the theory of radiation hydrodynamics to guarantee a bounded speed of propagation of radiating energy. We shall prove that this is indeed true, and we shall construct some explicit solutions of the HRHE exhibiting fronts propagating at light speed.
