Relaxation Limit for Piecewise Smooth Solutions to Systems of Conservation Laws
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the asymptotic equivalence of a general system of 1-D conservation laws and the corresponding relaxation model proposed by S. Jin and Z. Xin (1995, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 48, 235 277) in the limit of small relaxation rate. It is shown that if the relaxation system satisfies the subcharacteristic condition and the solution of the hyperbolic conservation laws is piecewise smooth with a finite number of noninteracting shocks satisfying the entropy condition, then there exist solutions of the relaxation systems that converge to the solution of the original conservation laws (``equilibrium'' system) at a rate of order = as the rate of relaxation = goes to zero. The proof uses a matched asymptotic analysis and an energy estimate related to the nonlinear stability theory for viscous shock profiles. 2000 Academic Press

Self-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 کاملPointwise Error Estimates for Relaxation Approximations to Conservation Laws
We obtain sharp pointwise error estimates for relaxation approximation to scalar conservation laws with piecewise smooth solutions. We first prove that the first-order partial derivatives for the perturbation solutions are uniformly upper bounded (the so-called Lip+ stability). A one-sided interpolation inequality between classical L1 error estimates and Lip+ stability bounds enables us to conv...
متن کاملStability and Convergence of a Class of Finite Element Schemes for Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws
We propose a class of finite element schemes for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws that are based on finite element discretizations of appropriate relaxation models. We consider both semidiscrete and fully discrete finite element schemes and show that the schemes are stable and, when the compensated compactness theory is applicable, do converge to a weak solution of the hyperbolic system....
متن کاملSuperconvergence of monotone difference schemes for piecewise smooth solutions of convex conservation laws
In this paper we show that the monotone difference methods with smooth numerical fluxes possess superconvergence property when applied to strictly convex conservation laws with piecewise smooth solutions. More precisely, it is shown that not only the approximation solution converges to the entropy solution, its central difference also converges to the derivative of the entropy solution away fro...
متن کاملOn the Piecewise Smooth Solutions to Non-homogeneous Scalar Conservation Laws
We study the structure and smoothness of non-homogeneous convex conservation laws. The question regarding the number of smoothness pieces is addressed. It is shown that under certain conditions on the initial data the entropy solution has only a finite number of discontinuous curves. We also obtain some global estimates on derivatives of the piecewise smooth entropy solution along the generaliz...
