Hyperbolic conservation laws with nonlinear diffusion and nonlinear dispersion

Conservation Laws with Vanishing Nonlinear Diffusion and Dispersion

We study the limiting behavior of the solutions to a class of conservation laws with vanishing nonlinear diffusion and dispersion terms. We prove the convergence to the entropy solution of the first order problem under a condition on the relative size of the diffusion and the dispersion terms. This work is motivated by the pseudo-viscosity approximation introduced by Von Neumann in the 50’s.

Optimal Control of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Switching

We consider optimal control problems governed by nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws at junctions and analyze in particular the Fréchet-differentiability of the reduced objective functional. This is done by showing that the control-to-state mapping of the considered problems satisfies a generalized notion of differentiability. We consider both, the case where the controls are the initial and...

Numerical solution of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws using exponential splines

Previous theoretical (McCartin 1989a) and computational (McCartin 1989b) results on exponential splines are herein applied to provide approximate solutions of high order accuracy to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The automatic selection of certain "tension" parameters associated with the exponential spline allows the sharp resolution of shocks and the suppression of any attendant oscil...

Genuinely Nonlinear Hyperbolic Systems of Two Conservation Laws

This is an expository paper discussing the regularity and large time behavior of admissible BV solutions of genuinely nonlinear, strictly hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws. The approach will be via the theory of generalized characteristics.
