For hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, uniqueness of solutions is still largely open. We aim to expand the theory of uniqueness for systems of conservation laws. One difficulty is that many systems have only one entropy. This…
In the paper we consider the solution of an advection equation with rapidly changing coefficients $\partial_t u_\eps+(1/\eps)V(t\eps^{-2},x/{\eps})\cdot\nabla_x u_\eps=0$ for $t<T$ and $u_\eps(T,x)=u_0(x)$, $x\in\bbR^d$. Here $\eps>0$ is…
We study the large time behavior of solutions of the PDE $|v_t|^{p-2}v_t=\Delta_p v$. A special property of this equation is that the Rayleigh quotient $\int_{\Omega}|Dv(x,t)|^pdx /\int_{\Omega}|v(x,t)|^pdx$ is nonincreasing in time along…

Relying on the analysis of characteristics, we prove the uniqueness of conservative solutions to the variational wave equation $u_{tt}-c(u) (c(u)u_x)_x=0$. Given a solution $u(t,x)$, even if the wave speed $c(u)$ is only H\"older continuous…

This paper is concerned with entropy solutions of scalar conservation laws of the form $\partial_{t}u+\diver f=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^d\times(0,\infty)$. The flux $f=f(x,u)$ depends explicitly on the spatial variable $x$. Using an extension of…
