Riemann solutions without an intermediate constant state for a system of two conservation laws

We present a class of systems consisting of two conservation laws in one spatial dimension that share an intriguing property: they admit structurally stable Riemann solutions without the standard constant state. This striking phenomenon emerges in sharp contrast to what is known for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, in which the existence of constant states is necessary for the structural stability of Riemann solutions. We prove that, together, coincidence of characteristic speeds and a certain amount of genuine nonlinearity are sufficient to trigger the aforementioned phenomenon. The proof revolves about the presence of a singular point in the coincidence set that organizes the construction of our Riemann solutions.     

Stable and unstable manifolds for quasilinear parabolic systems with fully nonlinear boundary conditions

We investigate quasilinear systems of parabolic partial differential equations with fully nonlinear boundary conditions on bounded or exterior domains in the setting of Sobolev–Slobodetskii spaces. We establish local wellposedness and study the time and space regularity of the solutions. Our main results concern the asymptotic behavior of the solutions in the vicinity of a hyperbolic equilibrium. In particular, the local stable and unstable manifolds are constructed.

Characterization of non-autonomous attractors of a perturbed infinite-dimensional gradient system

In this paper we determine the exact structure of the pullback attractors in non-autonomous problems that are perturbations of autonomous gradient systems with attractors that are the union of the unstable manifolds of a finite set of hyperbolic equilibria. We show that the pullback attractors of the perturbed systems inherit this structure, and are given as the union of the unstable manifolds of a set of hyperbolic global solutions which are the non-autonomous analogues of the hyperbolic equilibria. We also prove, again parallel to the autonomous case, that all solutions converge as t→+∞ to one of these hyperbolic global solutions. We then show how to apply these results to systems that are asymptotically autonomous as t→−∞ and as t→+∞, and use these relatively simple test cases to illustrate a discussion of possible definitions of a forwards attractor in the non-autonomous case.     

Global solvability and behavior of solutions of the cauchy problem for a system of two semilinear hyperbolic equations with dissipation

We obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of global solutions of Cauchy problems for systems of two semilinear hyperbolic equations with dissipation and find the decay rate of the solutions. We derive a sufficient condition for the absence of global solutions of systems of two semilinear hyperbolic inequalities. The proof of the absence of global solutions is performed on the basis of the test function method developed by S.I. Pokhozhaev, L. Veron, E. Mitidieri, et al.     

Parametric bufferness in systems of parabolic and hyperbolic equations with small diffusion

We investigate the problem of parametric excitation of oscillations in systems of parabolic and hyperbolic equations with small coefficient of diffusion. We establish the phenomenon of parametric bufferness, i.e., the existence of an arbitrary fixed number of stable periodic solutions for a proper choice of the parameters of equations.

Singularités de solutions d'équations aux dérivées partielles

We develop the general mathematical setting necessary to study the singularities of local solutions of the quasi-linear first-order systems of PDEs with a free initial condition. In the good cases, it is possible to describe these singularities as a function of the free initial conditions satisfied by the solutions. Using the transversality theorems, it is then possible to describe the singularities of generic solutions, and of generic families of solutions under deformation of the initial conditions. We apply this study by giving classifications of an important classe of hyperbolic quasi-linear first-order systems in the plane, the reducible systems, and of an almost general class of hyperbolic quasi-linear second-order equations in the plane.     

Generalized Glimm scheme to the initial boundary value problem of hyperbolic systems of balance laws

In this paper we provide a generalized version of the Glimm scheme to establish the global existence of weak solutions to the initial-boundary value problem of 2×2 hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with source terms. We extend the methods in [J.B. Goodman, Initial boundary value problem for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, Ph.D. Dissertation, Stanford University, 1982; J.M. Hong, An extension of Glimm’s method to inhomogeneous strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws by “weaker than weak” solutions of the Riemann problem, J. Differential Equations 222 (2006) 515-549] to construct the approximate solutions of Riemann and boundary Riemann problems, which can be adopted as the building block of approximate solutions for our initial-boundary value problem. By extending the results in [J. Glimm, Solutions in the large for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of equations, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 18 (1965) 697-715] and showing the weak convergence of residuals, we obtain stability and consistency of the scheme.     

Symbolic dynamics and Arnold diffusion

We consider hyperbolic tori of three degrees of freedom initially hyperbolic Hamiltonian systems. We prove that if the stable and unstable manifold of a hyperbolic torus intersect transversaly, then there exists a hyperbolic invariant set near a homoclinic orbit on which the dynamics is conjugated to a Bernoulli shift. The proof is based on a new geometrico-dynamical feature of partially hyperbolic systems, the transversality-torsion phenomenon, which produces complete hyperbolicity from partial hyperbolicity. We deduce the existence of infinitely many hyperbolic periodic orbits near the given torus. The relevance of these results for the instability of near-integrable Hamiltonian systems is then discussed. For a given transition chain, we construct chain of hyperbolic periodic orbits. Then we easily prove the existence of periodic orbits of arbitrarily high period close to such chain using standard results on hyperbolic sets.     

Diffusion phenomena for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems

We consider a partially dissipative hyperbolic system with time-dependent coefficients and show that under natural assumptions its solutions behave like solutions to a parabolic problem modulo terms of faster decay. This generalises the well-known diffusion phenomenon for damped waves and gives some further insights into the structure of dissipative hyperbolic systems.     

Zero relaxation and dissipation limits for hyperbolic conservation laws

We are interested in hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with relaxation and dissipation, particularly the zero relaxation limit. Such a limit is of interest in several physical situations, including gas flow near thermo-equilibrium, kinetic theory with small mean free path, and viscoelasticity with vanishing memory. In this article we study hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws with relaxation. For the stable case where the equilibrium speed is subcharacteristic with respect to the frozen speeds, we illustrate for a model in viscoelasticity that no oscillation develops for the nonlinear system in the zero relaxation limit. For the marginally stable case where the equilibrium speed may equal one of the frozen speeds, we show for a model in phase transitions that no oscillation arises when the dissipation is present and goes to zero more slowly than the relaxation. Our analysis includes the construction of suitable entropy pairs to derive energy estimates. We need such energy estimates not only for the compactness properties but also for the deviation from the equilibrium of the solutions for the relaxation systems. The theory of compensated compactness is then applied to study the oscillation in the zero relaxation limit. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The Cauchy problem for hyperbolic systems with Hölder continuous coefficients with respect to time

We discuss the local existance and uniqueness of solutions of certain nonstrictly hyperbolic systems, with Hölder continuous coefficients with respect to time variable. We reduce the nonstrictly hyperbolic systems to the parabolic ones, then we shall prove them by use of Tanabe-Sobolevski’s method.     

Local existence of stratified solutions to systems of balance laws

We define a class of weak solutions to hyperbolic systems of balance laws, in one space dimension; they are called here stratified solutions. For such solutions we prove some results about the propagation, the life span and the initial-value problem. To the memory of Lamberto Cattabriga     

One-Sided Exact Boundary Null Controllability of Entropy Solutions to a Class of Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws with Characteristics with Constant Multiplicity

This paper proves the local exact one-sided boundary null controllability of entropy solutions to a class of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with characteristics with constant multiplicity. This generalizes the results in [Li, T. and Yu, L., One-sided exact boundary null controllability of entropy solutions to a class of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, To appear in Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2016.] for a class of strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws.     

Existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions to the Riemann problem for hyperbolic systems of two nonlinear conservation laws

This paper contains a proof of the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Riemann problem for systems of two hyperbolic conservation laws in one space variable. Our main assumptions are that the system is strictly hyperbolic and genuinely nonlinear. We also require that the system satisfy standard conditions on the second Fréchet derivatives, and one other hypothesis, which we have called the half-plane condition. This hypothesis replaces other, more restrictive hypotheses required by previous authors. The methods and results of this paper are designed to be applicable to systems of conservation laws which are not strictly hyperbolic.     

Reflection of transversal progressing waves for semilinear strictly hyperbolic systems

We discuss the reflection of weak singularities of solutions to semilinear hyperbolic systems by using the method of energy estimates in the space of conormal distributions, and consequently obtain the general results on the reflection of weak singularities of the solution to a high order semilinear strictly hyperbolic equation.

On the stability of hyperbolic attractors of systems of differential equations

We study small C¹-perturbations of systems of differential equations that have a weakly hyperbolic invariant set. We show that the weakly hyperbolic invariant set is stable even if the Lipschitz condition fails.

Propagation of Singularities of Solutions to Hyperbolic‐Parabolic Coupled Systems

In this paper, the authors study the propagation of singlarities for a semilinear hyperbolic‐parabolic coupled system, which comes from the model of thermoelasticity. Both of the Cauchy problem and the problem inside of a domain are considered. We obtain that the microlocal singularities of solutions to the semilinear hyperbolic‐parabolic coupled system are propagated along null bicharacteristics of the hyperbolic operator by using the theory of paradifferential operators. Furthermore, for the Cauchy problem of the semilinear coupled system, if the initial data have singularities at the origin, we prove that the solutions have the same order regularity with respect to spatial variables as in hyperbolic problems in the forward characteristic cone issuing from the origin, which improves the previous results for semilinear systems in thermoelasticity.     

THE CAUCHY PROBLEMS FOR DISSIPATIVE HYPERBOLIC MEAN CURVATURE FLOW

In this paper, we investigate initial value problems for hyperbolic mean curvature flow with a dissipative term. By means of support functions of a convex curve, a hyperbolic Monge-Amp`ere equation is derived, and this equation could be reduced to the first order quasilinear systems in Riemann invariants. Using the theory of the local solutions of Cauchy problems for quasilinear hyperbolic systems, we discuss lower bounds on life-span of classical solutions to Cauchy problems for dissipative hyperbolic mean curvature flow.
