In this article we are interested in the rigorous construction of geometric optics expansions for hyperbolic corner problems. More precisely we focus on the case where selfinteracting phases occur. Those phases are proper to the high frequency asymptotics for the corner problem and correspond to rays that can display a homothetic pattern after a suitable number of reflections on the boundary. To construct the geometric optics expansions in that framework, it is necessary to solve a new amplitude equation in view of initializing the resolution of the WKB cascade.
