High frequency waves and the maximal smoothing effect for nonlinear scalar conservation laws

Analysis of PDEs 2013-02-12 v1

Abstract

The article first studies the propagation of well prepared high frequency waves with small amplitude \eps\eps 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, (1994), about the maximal regularizing effect for nonlinear conservation laws. For this purpose, a new definition of nonlinear flux is stated and compared to classical definitions. Then it is proved that the smoothness expected in Sobolev spaces cannot be exceeded.
