In this article, we propose a novel front tracking scheme for scalar conservation laws with spatially heterogeneous, uniformly convex flux and prove that approximations converge to the unique entropy solution. The main tools are Dafermos'…
We show that the Cauchy problem for the defocusing generalized Boussinesq equation $u_{tt}-u_{xx}+u_{xxxx}-(|u|^{2k}u)_{xx}=0$, $k\geq1$, on the real line is globally well-posed in $H^{s}(\R)$ for $s>1-({1}/{3k})$. We use the "$I$-method"…
We develop an efficient and convergent numerical method for solving the inverse problem of determining the potential of nonlinear hyperbolic equations from lateral Cauchy data. In our numerical method we construct a sequence of linear…
We consider a hyperbolic system of three conservation laws in one space variable. The system is a model for fluid flow allowing phase transitions; in this case the state variables are the specific volume, the velocity and the mass density…
We prove existence and uniqueness of Radon measure-valued solutions of the Cauchy problem $$ \begin{cases} u_t+[\varphi(u)]_x=0 & \text{in } \mathbb{R}\times (0,T) \\ u=u_0\ge 0 &\text{in } \mathbb{R}\times \{0\}, \end{cases} $$ where $u_0$…

We consider the Cauchy problem for a $n\times n$ strictly hyperbolic system of balance laws $$ \{{array}{c} u_t+f(u)_x=g(x,u), x \in \mathbb{R}, t>0 u(0,.)=u_o \in L^1 \cap BV(\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{R}^n), | \lambda_i(u)| \geq c > 0 {for all}…
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…
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…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar non-viscous diffusive dispersive conservation laws where the far field states are prescribed. We proved that the solution of the Cauchy…
This paper is to discuss a new method to quickly solve scalar $u_t+(G(u))_x=0$ numerically.
In this paper, we investigate an inverse Cauchy problem for a stochastic hyperbolic equation. A Lipschitz type observability estimate is established using a pointwise Carleman identity. By minimizing the constructed Tikhonov-type…
This paper deals with the derivation of entropy solutions to Cauchy problems for a class of scalar conservation laws with space-density depending fluxes from systems of deterministic particles of follow-the-leader type. We consider fluxes…
We study the well-posedness of the Bayesian inverse problem for scalar hyperbolic conservation laws where the statistical information about inputs such as the initial datum and (possibly discontinuous) flux function are inferred from noisy…
We study the limit as $\e\to 0$ of the entropy solutions of the equation $\p_t \ue + \dv_x[A(\frac{x}{\e},\ue)] =0$. We prove that the sequence $\ue$ two-scale converges towards a function $u(t,x,y)$, and $u$ is the unique solution of a…

We construct an infinite hierarchy of nonlocal conservation laws for the $ABC$ equation $A u_t\,u_{xy}+B u_x\,u_{ty}+C u_y\,u_{tx} = 0$, where $A,B,C$ are constants and $A+B+C\neq 0$, using a nonisospectral Lax pair. As a byproduct, we…
We consider a hyperbolic system of conservation laws u_t + f(u)_x = 0 and u(0,\cdot) = u_0, where each characteristic field is either linearly degenerate or genuinely nonlinear. Under the assumption of coinciding shock and rarefaction…
An "exact" method for scalar one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws is presented. The approach is based on the evolution of shock particles, separated by local similarity solutions. The numerical solution is defined everywhere, and is…
