Decay of solutions of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws

Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws

Conservation laws are first order systems of quasilinear partial differential equations in divergence form; they express the balance laws of continuum physics for media with "elastic" response, in which internal dissipation is neglected. The absence of internal dissipation is manifested in the emergence of solutions with jump discontinuities across manifolds of codimension one, representing, in...

Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws

Its purpose is to provide an account of some recent advances in the mathematical theory of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. After a brief review of basic concepts, we describe in detail the method of wave-front tracking approximation and present some of the latest results on uniqueness and stability of entropy weak solutions. 1-Review of basic theory. This chapter...

Systems of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Memory

Global weak solutions of bounded variation to systems of balance laws with non-local source are constructed by the method of vanishing viscosity. Suitable dissipativeness assumptions are imposed on the source terms to assure convergence of the method. Under these hypotheses, the total variation remains uniformly bounded and integrable in time, the vanishing viscosity solutions are uniformly sta...

Local oscillations in finite difference solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws

It was generally expected that monotone schemes are oscillationfree for hyperbolic conservation laws. However, recently local oscillations were observed and usually understood to be caused by relative phase errors. In order to further explain this, we first investigate the discretization of initial data that trigger the chequerboard mode, the highest frequency mode. Then we proceed to use the d...
