Weak Entropy Solutions of Nonlinear Reaction-hyperbolic Systems for Axonal Transport
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is concerned with a class of nonlinear reaction-hyperbolic systems as models for axonal transport in neuroscience. We show the global existence of entropy-satisfying BV-solutions to the initial-value problems by using hyperbolic-type methods. Moreover, we rigorously justify the limit as the biochemical processes are much faster than the transport ones.

Weakly Nonlinear-dissipative Approximations of Hyperbolic-parabolic Systems with Entropy
Hyperbolic-parabolic systems have spatially homogenous stationary states. When the dissipation is weak, one can derive weakly nonlinear-dissipative approximations that govern perturbations of these constant states. These approximations are quadratically nonlinear. When the original system has an entropy, the approximation is formally dissipative in a natural Hilbert space. We show that when the...
متن کاملUniqueness via the Adjoint Problem for Systems of Conservation Laws
We prove a result of uniqueness of the entropy weak solution to the Cauchy problem for a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, that includes in particular the p-system of isentropic gas dynamics. Our result concerns weak solutions satisfying the, as we call it, Wave Entropy Condition or WEC, for short, introduced in this paper. The main feature of this condition is that it...
متن کاملSelf-similar solutions of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation laws
In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem
متن کاملInitial Layers and Uniqueness of Weak Entropy Solutions to Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
We consider initial layers and uniqueness of weak entropy solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws through the scalar case. The entropy solutions we address assume their initial data only in the sense of weak-star in L∞ as t→ 0+ and satisfy the entropy inequality in the sense of distributions for t > 0. We prove that, if the flux function has weakly genuine nonlinearity, then the entropy solut...

This work is concerned with the proof of the existence and uniqueness of the entropy weak solution to the following nonlinear hyperbolic equation: u t + div(vf (u)) = 0 in IR N 0; T ], with initial data u(:; 0) = u 0 (:) in IR N. where u 0 2 L 1 (IR N) is a given function, v is a divergence-free bounded function of class C 1 from IR N 0; T ] to IR N , and f is a function of class C 1 from IR to...
