In this paper, we deal with the differential properties of the scalar flux defined over a two-dimensional bounded convex domain, as a solution to the integral radiation transfer equation. Estimates for the derivatives of the scalar flux…
The explicit formulation of the general inverse problem on conservation laws is presented for the first time. In this problem one aims to derive the general form of systems of differential equations that admit a prescribed set of…
Scalar conservation laws with non-convex fluxes have shock wave solutions that violate the Lax entropy condition. In this paper, such solutions are selected by showing that some of them have corresponding traveling waves for the equation…
In this paper I discuss nonlinear parabolic systems that are generalizations of scalar diffusion equations. I show that when potential is a convex function that depends only on the norm of the solution, then bounded weak solutions of these…
We provide global and semi-global controllability results for hyperbolic conservation laws on a bounded domain, with a general (not necessarily convex)flux and a time-dependent source term acting as a control. The results are achieved for,…
In this article, we consider scalar conservation laws with fluxes having spatial discontinuities and possible flat regions and study the following three aspects: (i) existence, (ii) uniqueness and (iii) BV regularity of solutions. We…
The exterior differential system for constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in a 3-dimensional space form is an elliptic Monge-Ampere system defined on the unit tangent bundle. We determine the infinite sequence of higher-order symmetries…
In this paper we aim for a generalisation of the Steenrod Approximation Theorem from, concerning a smoothing procedure for sections in smooth locally trivial bundles. The generalisation is that we consider locally trivial smooth bundles…
It is well known that the Euler vortex patch in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ will remain regular if it is regular enough initially. In bounded domains, the regularity theory for patch solutions is less complete. In this paper, we study Euler vortex…
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 generalize herein the usual circular map by considering inflexions of arbitrary power $z$, and verify that the scaling law which has been recently proposed [Lyra and Tsallis, Phys.Rev.Lett. 80 (1998) 53] holds for a large range of $z$.…
This study is concerned with the decay behaviour of a passive scalar $\theta$ in three-dimensional flows having bounded velocity gradients. Given an initially smooth scalar distribution, the decay rate $d<\theta^2>/dt$ of the scalar…
The brightness theorem---brightness is nonincreasing in passive systems---is a foundational conservation law, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to displays, yet it is restricted to the field of ray optics. For general linear wave…
The stability criteria for the generalized Brans-Dicke cosmology in a spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic cosmological model is discussed in the presence of a perfect fluid. The generalization comes through the channel that the…
We consider two physically and mathematically distinct regularization mechanisms of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws. When the flux is convex, the combination of diffusion and dispersion are known to give rise to monotonic and…
The Szekeres system is studied with two methods for the determination of conservation laws. Specifically we apply the theory of group invariant transformations and the method of singularity analysis. We show that the Szekeres system admits…
A conservation-consistent boundary condition is proposed for nonlinear models of soluble-surfactant-laden falling films, ensuring exact conservation of total surfactant mass. The formulation resolves an inconsistency in widely used reduced…
We prove the SBV regularity of the characteristic speed of the scalar hyperbolic conservation law and SBV-like regularity of the eigenvalue functions of the Jacobian matrix of flux function for general systems of conservation laws. More…
Schauder theory is a basic tool in the study of elliptic and parabolic PDEs, asserting that solutions inherit the regularity of the coefficients. It plays a central role in establishing higher regularity for solutions to a broad class of…
Symmetries and conservation laws are studied for two classes of physically and analytically interesting radial wave equations with power nonlinearities in multi-dimensions. The results consist of two main classifications: all symmetries of…
