We consider the Cauchy problem for strictly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that the problem is $L^2$ well-posed in the case of Lipschitz…
We study in what sense one can determine the function $k=k(x)$ in the scalar hyperbolic conservation law $u_t+(k(x)f(u))_x=0$ by observing the solution $u(t,\dott)$ of the Cauchy problem with initial data $u|_{t=0}=u_o$.
We investigate the relation between several generalized solution concepts for nonlinear PDE systems from fluid dynamics. More precisely, we study measure-valued solutions, dissipative weak solutions, and energy-variational solutions. For…
The Cauchy problem for the two dimensional compressible Euler equations with data in the Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb R^2)$ is known to have a unique solution of the same Sobolev class for a short time, and the data-to-solution map is…
