Relative Entropy in Hyperbolic Relaxation for Balance Laws
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a general framework for the approximation of systems of hyperbolic balance laws. The novelty of the analysis lies in the construction of suitable relaxation systems and the derivation of a delicate estimate on the relative entropy. We provide a direct proof of convergence in the smooth regime for a wide class of physical systems. We present results for systems arising in materials science, where the presence of source terms presents a number of additional challenges and requires delicate treatment. Our analysis is in the spirit of the framework introduced by Tzavaras [23] for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws.

An Interesting Class of Hyperbolic Balance Laws
Abstract. This paper presents an observation that under reasonable conditions, many systems of hyperbolic balance laws from mathematical physics possess three structural properties. One of them can be understand as a variant of the celebrated Onsager reciprocal relation in Modern Thermodynamics. It displays a direct relation of irreversible processes to the entropy change. We show that the prop...
متن کاملExistence of Solutions for the Aw–rascle Traffic Flow Model with Vacuum
We consider the macroscopic model for traffic flow proposed by Aw and Rascle in 2000. The model is a 2×2 system of hyperbolic conservation laws, or, when the model includes a relaxation term, a 2 × 2 system of hyperbolic balance laws. The main difficulty is the presence of vacuum, which makes us unable to control the total variation of the conservative variables. We allow vacuum to appear and p...
متن کاملThe Zero Relaxation Limit for 2 2 Hyperbolic
We study the zero relaxation limit for a class of 2 2 strictly hy-perbolic systems of balance laws. In particular we show the strong convergence toward the solution of the formal limit of the system and the validity of an innnite number of Kru zkov-type entropy inequalities. Moreover, we give a uniqueness result for this solution.
متن کاملStability and Convergence of Relaxation Schemes to Hyperbolic Balance Laws via a Wave Operator
This article deals with relaxation approximations of nonlinear systems of hyperbolic balance laws. We introduce a class of relaxation schemes and establish their stability and convergence to the solution of hyperbolic balance laws before the formation of shocks, provided that we are within the framework of the compensated compactness method. Our analysis treats systems of hyperbolic balance law...
متن کاملThe Entropy Principle from Continuum Mechanics to Hyperbolic Systems of Balance Laws: The Modern Theory of Extended Thermodynamics
We discuss the different roles of the entropy principle in modern thermodynamics. We start with the approach of rational thermodynamics in which the entropy principle becomes a selection rule for physical constitutive equations. Then we discuss the entropy principle for selecting admissible discontinuous weak solutions and to symmetrize general systems of hyperbolic balance laws. A particular a...
