A method based on innnite parameter conservation laws is described to factor linear differential operators out of nonlinear partial diierential equations (PDEs) or out of diierential consequences of nonlinear PDEs. This includes a complete linearization to an equivalent linear PDE (system) if that is possible. Innnite parameter conservation laws can be computed, for example, with a computer alg...

The article first studies the propagation of well prepared high frequency waves with small amplitude ε near constant solutions for entropy solutions of multidimensional nonlinear scalar conservation laws. Second, such oscillating solutions are used to highlight a conjecture of Lions, Perthame, Tadmor, ([23]), about the maximal regularizing effect for nonlinear conservation laws. For this purpos...

Motivated by Benney’s general theory, we propose new models for short wave long wave interactions when the long waves are described by nonlinear systems of conservation laws. We prove the strong convergence of the solutions of the vanishing viscosity and short wave long wave interactions systems by using compactness results from the compensated compactness theory and new energy estimates obtain...

We discuss some recent developments and trends of applying measure-theoretic analysis to the study of nonlinear conservation laws. We focus particularly on entropy solutions without bounded variation and Cauchy fluxes on oriented surfaces which are used to formulate the balance law. Our analysis employs the Gauss-Green formula and normal traces for divergence-measure fields, Young measures and ...

We present a streamline diffusion shock capturing spacetime discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to approximate nonlinear systems of conservation laws in several space dimensions. The degrees of freedom are in terms of the entropy variables and the numerical flux functions are the entropy stable finite volume fluxes. We show entropy stability of the (formally) arbitrarily high order accurate meth...

We propose, analyze, and demonstrate a discontinuous Galerkin method for fractional conservation laws. Various stability estimates are established along with error estimates for regular solutions of linear equations. Moreover, in the nonlinear case and when piecewise constant elements are utilized, we prove a rate of convergence toward the unique entropy solution. We present numerical results f...

In this paper, a super spectral viscosity method using the Chebyshev differential operator of high order Ds = ( √ 1− x2∂x) is developed for nonlinear conservation laws. The boundary conditions are treated by a penalty method. Compared with the second-order spectral viscosity method, the super one is much weaker while still guaranteeing the convergence of the bounded solution of the Chebyshev–Ga...
