Hyperbolic conservation laws with nonlinear diffusion and nonlinear dispersion

We study scalar conservation laws with nonlinear diffusion and nonlinear dispersion terms (any ??1), the flux function f(u) being mth order growth at infinity. It is shown that if ε, δ=δ(ε) tend to 0, then the sequence {uε} of the smooth solutions converges to the unique entropy solution u∈L^∞(0,T_∗;Lq(R)) to the conservation law ut+fx(u)=0 in . The proof relies on the methods of compensated compactness, Young measures and entropy measure-valued solutions. Some new a priori estimates are carried out. In particular, our result includes the convergence result by Schonbek when b(λ)=λ, ?=1 and LeFloch and Natalini when ?=1.

A survey on discriminatory processor sharing

The Discriminatory Processor Sharing (DPS) model is a multi-class generalization of the egalitarian Processor Sharing model. In the DPS model all jobs present in the system are served simultaneously at rates controlled by a vector of weights {g_k > 0; k = 1,..., K }. If there are N_k jobs of class k present in the system, k = 1,..., K, each class-k job is served at rate . The present article provides an overview of the analytical results for the DPS model. In particular, we focus on response times and numbers of jobs in the system. This work is part of a French-Dutch Van Gogh research project funded by NWO (The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research) and EGIDE under grant VGP 61-520. We also acknowledge the support of EuroNGI Network of Excellence. This work was done while U. Ayesta was an ERCIM Postdoc fellow at CWI.     

Finite valued feedback laws and piecewise classical solutions

Often, in engineering literature, we find control systems in which the open loop inputs are piecewise constant and take values in a finite set. Such open loop inputs cause the system to have fairly regular solutions. On the other hand, when acting in closed loop, feedback laws taking values in a finite set may not be reinterpreted as open loop inputs of the considered type. In fact, pathological behaviours such as the accumulation of discontinuities may appear (Zeno phenomenon). We give some conditions which can be used as tools for building finite valued feedback laws not causing such pathological behaviours.     

On a two-fluid model of two-phase compressible flows and its numerical approximation

We consider a two-fluid model of two-phase compressible flows. First, we derive several forms of the model and of the equations of state. The governing equations in all the forms contain source terms representing the exchanges of momentum and energy between the two phases. These source terms cause unstability for standard numerical schemes. Using the above forms of equations of state, we construct a stable numerical approximation for this two-fluid model. That only the source terms cause the oscillations suggests us to minimize the effects of source terms by reducing their amount. By an algebraic operator, we transform the system to a new one which contains only one source term. Then, we discretize the source term by making use of stationary solutions. We also present many numerical tests to show that while standard numerical schemes give oscillations, our scheme is stable and numerically convergent.     

Partition of Waves in a System of Conservation Laws

The aim of this paper is to give a simple proof of the classical Liu estimate on the decay of positive waves in a solution of a n×n system of conservation laws. In the first part, we transcribe the wave partition technique introduced in Comm. Math. Phys. 57 (1977), 135–148 (by means of the Glimm scheme) to the case of approximate solutions constructed by the wave front tracking scheme. Then, we use a decoupling argument on the characteristic speeds to establish the desired estimate.     

On the theory of divergence-measure fields and its applications

Divergence-measure fields are extended vector fields, including vector fields inL ^p and vector-valued Radon measures, whose divergences are Radon measures. Such fields arise naturally in the study of entropy solutions of nonlinear conservation laws and other areas. In this paper, a theory of divergence-measure fields is presented and analyzed, in which normal traces, a generalized Gauss-Green theorem, and product rules, among others, are established. Some applications of this theory to several nonlinear problems in conservation laws and related areas are discussed. In particular, with the aid of this theory, we prove the stability of Riemann solutions, which may contain rarefaction waves, contact discontinuities, and/or vacuum states, in the class of entropy solutions of the Euler equations for gas dynamics.Dedicated to Constantine Dafermos on his 60^th birthday
