Nonlinear semigroups for nonlocal conservation laws

Analysis of PDEs 2023-01-05 v3

Abstract

We investigate a class of nonlocal conservation laws in several space dimensions, where the continuum average of weighted nonlocal interactions are considered over a finite horizon. We establish well-posedness for a broad class of flux functions and initial data via semigroup theory in Banach spaces and, in particular, via the celebrated Crandall-Liggett Theorem. We also show that the unique mild solution satisfies a Kru\v{z}kov-type nonlocal entropy inequality. Similarly to the local case, we demonstrate an efficient way of proving various desirable qualitative properties of the unique solution.

The paper is updated with a slightly changed, and in some sense more precise entropy condition. Some remarks and explanatory comments have been added for better readability
