We study extremal shocks of $1$-d hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which fail to be genuinely nonlinear. More specifically, we consider either $1$- or $n$-shocks in characteristic fields which are either concave-convex or…
It is well known, thanks to Lax-Wendroff theorem, that the local conservation of a numerical scheme for a conservative hyperbolic system is a simple and systematic way to guarantee that, if stable, a scheme will provide a sequence of…
We introduce the concept of kinetic equations representing a natural extension of the more conventional notion of a kinetic relation. Algebraic kinetic relations, widely used to model dynamics of dislocations, cracks and phase boundaries,…
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…
In this paper we study the general relationship between the evolutionary conditions for discontinuous solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws with a concave entropy function and the existence and uniqueness of steady dissipative shock…
Given a first-order nonlinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws endowed with a convex entropy-entropy flux pair, we can consider the class of weak solutions containing shock waves depending upon some small scale parameters. In this…
We obtain exact travelling wave solutions for three families of stochastic one-dimensional nonequilibrium lattice models with open boundaries. These solutions describe the diffusive motion and microscopic structure of (i) of shocks in the…
Consider a strictly hyperbolic $n\times n$ system of conservation laws, where each characteristic field is either genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate. In this standard setting, it is well known that there exists a Lipschitz semigroup…
Wave turbulence is the study of the long-time statistical behaviour of equations describing a set of weakly non-linear interacting waves. Such a theory, which has a natural asymptotic closure, allows us to probe the nature of turbulence…
We introduce a kinetic formulation for scalar conservation laws with nonlocal and nonlinear diffusion terms. We deal with merely L 1 initial data, general self-adjoint pure jump L{\'e}vy operators, and locally Lipschitz nonlinearities of…
We distinguish a mechanical representation of the world in terms of point masses with positions and momenta and the chemical representation of the world in terms of populations of different individuals, each with intrinsic stochasticity,…
The study of hyperbolic waves involves various notions which help characterise how these structures evolve. One important facet is the notion of \emph{genuine nonlinearity}, namely the ability for shocks and rarefactions to form instead of…
