Aim of this paper is to review some basic ideas and recent developments in the theory of strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. The main focus will be on the uniqueness and stability of entropy weak…

We introduce a geometric evolution equation of hyperbolic type, which governs the evolution of a hypersurface moving in the direction of its mean curvature vector. The flow stems from a geometrically natural action containing kinetic and…

This paper addresses the issue of the formulation of weak solutions to systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws as integral balance laws. The basic idea is that the "meaningful objects" are the fluxes, evaluated across domain…

We consider solutions of two-dimensional $m \times m$ systems hyperbolic conservation laws that are constant in time and along rays starting at the origin. The solutions are assumed to be small $L^\infty$ perturbations of a constant state…

We propose new entropy admissibility conditions for multidimensional hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux which generalize one-dimensional Karlsen-Risebro-Towers entropy conditions. These new conditions are designed,…

In this paper, we consider $2 \times 2$ hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension with characteristic fields satisfying a condition that encompasses genuine nonlinearity and linear degeneracy as well as intermediate…

Nonlinear scalar conservation laws are traditionally viewed as transport equations. We take instead the viewpoint of these PDEs as continuity equations with an implicitly defined velocity field. We show that a weak solution is the entropy…

We consider the global evolution problem for Einstein's field equations in the near-Minkowski regime and study the long-time dynamics of a massive scalar field evolving under its own gravitational field. We establish the existence of a…

We study the hyperbolic entropies of foliations obtained by suspensions of a representation, in the sense of Dinh, Nguy\^en and Sibony (topological and measure-theoretic). We establish a link between this type of entropy and an adapted…

Entropy functions played a key role in the development of mathematical theory for hyperbolic conservation laws. The notion of entropy, which is intimately connected with symmetry, is an extension \emph{imposed} on nonlinear systems of…

We present a practical framework for ideal hyperelasticity in numerical relativity. For this purpose, we recast the formalism of Carter and Quintana as a set of Eulerian conservation laws in an arbitrary 3+1 split of spacetime. The…

This paper is concerned with one-dimensional 2 x 2 systems of conservation laws with a flux f=f(x, U) that is discontinuous with respect to the spatial variable. No monotonicity assumption is imposed on the mapping x \to f(x,U). We…

The existing paradox between theory and computational experiment for weak solutions of systems of conservation laws in higher space dimensions is arguably resolved. Apparently successful computations are identified with underlying…

The Hyperboloidal Foliation Method presented in this monograph is based on a (3+1)-foliation of Minkowski spacetime by hyperboloidal hypersurfaces. It allows us to establish global-in-time existence results for systems of nonlinear wave…
