We propose new entropy admissibility conditions for multidimensional hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux which generalize one-dimensional Karlsen-Risebro-Towers entropy conditions. These new conditions are designed, in particular, in order to characterize the limit of vanishing viscosity approximations. On the one hand, they comply quite naturally with a certain class of...

We prove existence and numerical stability of numerical solutions of three fully discrete interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) methods for solving nonlinear parabolic equations. Under some appropriate regularity conditions, we give the l(H) and l(L) error estimates of the fully discrete symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (SIPG) scheme with the implicit θ-schemes in time...

For input nonaffine nonlinear control systems, the minimum phase property of the system in general depends on the control law. Switching or discontinuous controllers may offer advantages in this context. In particular, there may not exist a continuous control law which would keep the output identically equal to zero and for which the zero output constrained dynamics are locally stable, whereas ...

We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...

Identifying, developing and commercialising innovations through traditional approaches are often ineffective or inefficient when discontinuous conditions occur. New or additional capabilities and practices are desirable for organisations under such complex conditions. Based on a comprehensive literature review about search practices and drawing on the empirical background of a survey to 500 Ita...

Remote loading systems using an electromagnetic beam is affected by discontinuous piecewise constant loading voltage. The characteristics of these remote dynamic systems under charge are investigated. Varied behaviour of the systems with discontinuous charge is found due to environment perturbation compared to systems under continuous voltage charge with a wired link. A theoretical and numerica...

We propose Eulerian and Lagrangian Gaussian beam methods for the Schrödinger equation with discontinuous potentials. At the quantum barriers where the potential is discontinuous, we derive suitable interface conditions to account for quantum scattering information. These scattering interface conditions are then built into the numerical fluxes in the Eulerian level set formulation of the Gaussia...
