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…
For hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension with a mathematical entropy, we define the notion of entropy velocity. Then we give sufficient conditions for such a system to be covariant under the action of a group of…
In this paper we introduce a new geometric flow --- the hyperbolic gradient flow for graphs in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. This kind of flow is new and very natural to understand the geometry of manifolds. We…
