On conservation laws for hyperbolized equations

We carry out an analysis of hyperbolized equations of diffusion type convenient for modeling on high-performance computer systems; in particular, we study conservation laws for these equations.     

On infinite-dimensional Keyfitz-Kranzer systems of conservation laws

For infinite-dimensional generalizations of the Keyfitz-Kranzer system of conservation laws in which the unknown vector ranges in an arbitrary Banach space, we single out the class of strong generalized entropy solutions of the Cauchy problem. Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved in this class.     

On a class of systems of quasilinear conservation laws

We consider hyperbolic conservation laws on matrix algebras. We describe entropies of such systems and study properties of generalized entropy solutions and strong generalized entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem. Bibliography: 15 titles.

Stratified solutions for systems of conservation laws

We study a class of weak solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation (balance) laws in one space dimension, called stratified solutions. These solutions are bounded and ``regular' in the direction of a linearly degenerate characteristic field of the system, but not in other directions. In particular, they are not required to have finite total variation. We prove some results of local existence and uniqueness.

     

Lagrangian systems of conservation laws

Summary. We study the mathematical structure of 1D systems of conservation laws written in the Lagrange variable. Modifying the symmetrization proof of systems of conservation laws with three hypothesis, we prove that these models have a canonical formalism. These hypothesis are i) the entropy flux is zero, ii) Galilean invariance, iii) reversibility for smooth solutions. Then we study a family of numerical schemes for the solution of these systems. We prove that they are entropy consistent. We also prove from general considerations the symmetry of the spectrum of the Jacobian matrix.

Symmetries and conservation laws of Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations

Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations are of great interest from the viewpoint of the theory of symmetries and conservation laws and, in particular, enable us to demonstrate their potentials in action. This paper presents, firstly, the results of computations of symmetries and conservation laws for these equations and the methods of obtaining these results. Apparently, all the local symmetries and conservation laws admitted by the considered equations are exhausted by those enumerated in this paper. Secondly, we point out some reductions of Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations to more simpler forms which have less independent variables and which, in some cases, allow us to construct exact solutions. Finally, the technique of solution deformation by symmetries and their physical interpretation are demonstrated.     

Symmetries and conservation laws of difference equations

Within the formalism of difference jets, we develop an algebro-geometric analysis of systems of difference equations on multidimensional integer lattices and study their symmetries and conservation laws.     

Decay rates for nonconvex systems of conservation laws

We study decay of solutions for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which are not genuinely nonlinear. For a generic class of such systems, we determine sharp (algebraic) rates of decay in the total variation of the wave speed, for solutions with compact initial support. Our analysis involves generalized characteristic arguments and the random choice difference scheme of Glimm. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Stable viscosity matrices for systems of conservation laws

A natural class of appropriate viscosity matrices for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension, u₁ + f(u)_x = 0, u?R^m, is studied. These matrices are admissible in the sense that small-amplitude shock wave solutions of the hyperbolic system are shown to be limits of smooth traveling wave solutions of the parabolic system u_t + f(u)_x = v(Du_x)_x as ifv → 0 if D is in this class. The class is determined by a linearized stability requirement: The Cauchy problem for the equation u₁ + f′(u₀) u_x = vDu_xx should be well posed in L² uniformly in v as v → 0. Previous examples of inadmissible viscosity matrices are accounted for through violation of the stability criterion.     

Entropy functions for symmetric systems of conservation laws

Using a simple symmetrizability criterion, we show that symmetric systems of conservation laws are equipped with a one-parameter family of entropy functions.     

Discrete shock profiles for systems of conservation laws

The existence of discrete shock profiles for difference schemes approximating a system of conservation laws is the major topic studied in this paper. The basic theorem established here applies to first-order accurate difference schemes; for weak shocks, this theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions involving the truncation error of the linearized scheme which guarantee entropy satisfying or entropy violating discrete shock profiles. Several explicit difference schemes are used as examples illustrating the interplay between the entropy condition, monotonicity, and linearized stability. Entropy violating stationary shocks for second-order accurate Lax-Wendroff schemes approximating systems are also constructed. The only tools used in the proofs are local analysis and the center manifold theorem.     

On the symmetry classification and conservation laws for quasilinear differential equations of second order

We obtain a sufficient condition for the absence of tangent transformations admitted by quasilinear differential equations of second order and a sufficient condition for the linear autonomy of the operators of the Lie group of transformations admitted by weakly nonlinear differential equations of second order. We prove a theorem concerning the structure of conservation laws of first order for weakly nonlinear differential equations of second order. We carry out the classification by first-order conservation laws for linear differential equations of second order with two independent variables.     

Third-order scalar evolution equations with conservation laws

Associated to the family of third-order quasilinear scalar evolution equations is the geometry of point transformations. This geometry provides a framework from which to study the structure of conservation laws of the equation, and to study the special nature of the geometry of those equations which do possess conservation laws. There is an easy and obvious normal form for equations which possess at least one conservation law. The geometric structure of the equation gives rise to a simple yet much less obvious normal form for equations which possess at least two conservation laws.
