چکیده

We study the spreading of characteristics for a class of one-dimensional scalar conservation laws for which the ux function has exactly one point of innection. It is well-known that the characteristic speed satisses a one-sided Lipschitz estimate in the convex case. Using Dafermos' theory of generalized characteristics 3] we show that the characteristic speed in the nonconvex case satisses a HH older estimate at each xed time.

On the spreading of characteristics for non-convex conservation laws

We study the spreading of characteristics for a class of one-dimensional scalar conservation laws for which the ° ux function has one point of in° ection. It is well known that in the convex case the characteristic speed satis ̄es a one-sided Lipschitz estimate. Using Dafermos’ theory of generalized characteristics, we show that the characteristic speed in the non-convex case satis ̄es an Holder...

Fractional Rate of Convergence for Viscous Approximation to Nonconvex Conservation Laws

This paper considers the viscous approximations to conservation laws with nonconvex flux function. It is shown that if the entropy solutions are piecewise smooth, then the rate of L1convergence is a fractional number in (0.5, 1]. This is in contrast to the corresponding result for the convex conservation laws. Numerical experiments indicate that the theoretical prediction for the convergence ra...

The comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws

This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...

Finite Volume HWENO Schemes for Nonconvex Conservation Laws

Following the previous work of Qiu and Shu [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 31 (2008), 584-607], we investigate the performance of Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme for nonconvex conservation laws. Similar to many other high order methods, we show that the finite volume HWENO scheme performs poorly for some nonconvex conservation laws. We modify the scheme around the nonconvex r...

Regularity of entropy solutions to nonconvex scalar conservation laws with monotone initial data

We prove that for a given strictly increasing initial datum in C,the solution of the initial value problem is piecewise C smooth except for flux functions of nonconvex conservation laws in a certain subset of C of first category,defined in the range of the initial datum.
