We study the following class of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws with discontinuous fluxes: \partial_t\rho+\partial_xF(x,\rho)=0. The main feature of such a conservation law is the discontinuity of the flux function in the space variable…
We develop a theory based on relative entropy to show the uniqueness and L^2 stability (up to a translation) of extremal entropic Rankine-Hugoniot discontinuities for systems of conservation laws (typically 1-shocks, n-shocks, 1-contact…
Energy methods for constructing time-stepping algorithms are of increased interest in application to nonlinear problems, since numerical stability can be inferred from the conservation of the system energy. Alternatively, symplectic…
This note aims at providing a rather informal and hopefully accessible overview of the fairly long and technical work [4]. In that paper, the authors established new global-in-time existence results for admissible solutions of nonlinear…
Aim of these notes is provide a brief review of the current well-posedness theory for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension, also pointing out open problems and possible research directions. They supplement the…
A new, general, field theoretic approach to the derivation of asymptotic conservation laws is presented. In this approach asymptotic conservation laws are constructed directly from the field equations according to a universal prescription…
We consider a dissipative vector field which is represented by a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian flow to which a non symplectic force is added, so that the phase space volume is not preserved. The vector field depends upon two parameters,…
We present a semiclassical theory of weak disorder effects in small structures and apply it to the magnetic response of non-interacting electrons confined in integrable geometries. We discuss the various averaging procedures describing…
An infinite number of conserved quantities in the field dynamics $\phi_t = L U(\phi) + \rho$ for a linear Hermitian (or anti-Hermitian) operator $L$, an arbitrary function $U$ and a given source $\rho$ are presented. These integrals of…
We show that the asymmetric inter-particle interactions can induce rapid decay of the heat current correlation in one-dimensional momentum conserving lattices. When the asymmetry degree is appropriate, even exponential decay may arise. This…
In this paper, we investigate linear stability properties of the 2D isentropic compressible Euler equations linearized around a shear flow given by a monotone profile, close to the Couette flow, with constant density, in the domain…
We consider hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one spatial dimension. For any limit of front tracking solutions $v$, and for a general weak solution $u\in L^\infty$ with no BV assumption, we prove the following H\"older-type…
Nonlinear contact dynamics are widely regarded as intrinsically nonlinear systems whose behaviour depends strongly on geometry and impact conditions. Here we show that any one-dimensional conservative contact system satisfying monotone…
We prove the stability of entropy solutions of nonlinear conservation laws with respect to perturbations of the initial datum, the space-time dependent flux and the entropy inequalities. Such a general stability theorem is motivated by the…
In this study, we consider a linearized compressible flow structure interaction PDE model for which the interaction interface is under the effect of material derivative term. While the linearization takes place around a constant pressure…
Ionic electro-active polymer (Nafion for example) can be used as sensor or actuator. To this end, a thin film of the water-saturated material is sandwiched between two electrodes. Water saturation causes a quasi-complete dissociation of the…
We discuss the minimal integrability needed for the initial data, in order that the Cauchy problem for a multi-dimensional conservation law admit an entropy solution. In particular we allow unbounded initial data. We investigate also the…
We obtain some important fundamental inequalities concerning the long time behavior of high order derivatives for solutions of some dissipative systems in terms of their $L^2$ algebraic decay. Some of these inequalities have not been…
Under a precise genuine nonlinearity assumption we establish the decay of entropy solutions of a multidimensional scalar conservation law with merely continuous flux and with initial data being a sum of periodic function and a function…
We consider the local well-posedness of the one-dimensional nonisentropic Euler equations with moving physical vacuum boundary condition. The physical vacuum singularity requires the sound speed to be scaled as the square root of the…
