Bounded weak solutions of Burgers' equation $\partial_tu+\partial_x(u^2/2)=0$ that are not entropy solutions need in general not be $BV$. Nevertheless it is known that solutions with finite entropy productions have a $BV$-like structure: a…
In this paper, we first investigate quasi-entropy solutions to scalar conservation laws in several space dimensions. In this setting, we introduce a suitable Lagrangian representation for such solutions. Next, we prove that, in one space…
In the case of scalar conservation laws $$ u_{t} + f(u)_{x}~=~0,\qquad t\geq 0, x\in\mathbb{R}, $$ with uniformly strictly convex flux $f$, quantitative compactness estimates - in terms of Kolmogorov entropy in ${\bf L}^{1}_{loc}$ - were…
We prove $L^2$ stability estimates for entropic shocks among weak, possibly \emph{non-entropic}, solutions of scalar conservation laws $\partial_t u+\partial_x f(u)=0$ with strictly convex flux function $f$. This generalizes previous…
This article studies the Cauchy problem for the scalar conservation law \[ \partial_t u + \partial_t w + \partial_x f(u) = 0, \] where $w(x,t) = [\mathcal{F}(u)(x,t)]$ is the output of a specific hysteresis operator, namely the Play…
We consider bounded entropy solutions to the scalar conservation law in one space dimension: \begin{equation*} u_t+f(u)_x=0. \end{equation*} We quantify the regularizing effect of the non linearity of the flux $f$ on the solution $u$ in…
By means of a unifying measure-theoretic approach, we establish lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the space-time set which can support anomalous dissipation for weak solutions of fluid equations, both in the presence or absence of…
We prove the existence of generalized characteristics for weak, not necessarily entropic, solutions of Burgers' equation \[ \partial_t u +\partial_x \frac{u^2}{2} =0, \] whose entropy productions are signed measures. Such solutions arise in…
In this paper, we show that the entropy solution of a scalar conservation law is - continuous outside a $1$-rectifiable set $\Xi$, - up to a $\mathcal H^1$ negligible set, for each point $(\bar t,\bar x) \in \Xi$ there exists two regions…
The present paper studies a method of finding Lagrangian transformations, in the form of particle paths, for all scalar conservation laws having a smooth flux. These are found using the notion of weak diffeomorphisms. More precisely, from…
We prove that if $u$ is the entropy solution to a scalar conservation law in one space dimension, then the entropy dissipation is a measure concentrated on countably many Lipschitz curves. This result is a consequence of a detailed analysis…
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…
We consider the problem of existence of entropy weak solutions to scalar balance laws with a dissipative source term. The flux function may be discontinuous with respect both to the space variable x and the unknown quantity u. The problem…
We are concerned with the minimal entropy conditions for one-dimensional scalar conservation laws with general convex flux functions. For such scalar conservation laws, we prove that a single entropy-entropy flux pair $(\eta(u),q(u))$ with…
We consider nondecreasing entropy solutions to 1-d scalar conservation laws and show that the spatial derivatives of such solutions satisfy a contraction property with respect to the Wasserstein distance of any order. This result extends…
We consider the behaviour of weak solutions of the unforced three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, under the assumption that the initial condition has finite energy ($\|u\|^2=\int|u|^2$) but infinite enstrophy ($\|Du\|^2=\int|{\rm curl}…
We obtain new $L^1$ contraction results for bounded entropy solutions of Cauchy problems for degenerate parabolic equations. The equations we consider have possibly strongly degenerate local or non-local diffusion terms. As opposed to…
We revisit a well-established model for highly re-entrant semi-conductor manufacturing systems, and analyze it in the setting of states, in- and outfluxes being Borel measures. This is motivated by the lack of optimal solutions in the…
A fully discrete Lagrangian scheme for numerical solution of the nonlinear fourth order DLSS equation in one space dimension is analyzed. The discretization is based on the equation's gradient flow structure in the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric.…
Under a precise genuine nonlinearity assumption we establish the decay of entropy solutions of a multidimensional scalar conservation law with merely continuous flux.
