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…
We consider bounded weak solutions to the Burgers equation for which every entropy dissipation is representable by a measure and we prove that all these measures are concentrated on the graphs of countably many Lipschitz curves. The main…
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…
For the Burgers equation, the entropy solution becomes instantly BV with only $L^\infty$ initial data. For conservation laws with genuinely nonlinear discontinuous flux, it is well known that the BV regularity of entropy solutions is lost.…
We investigate one-dimensional scalar balance laws with singular convolution-type source terms. Under appropriate convexity and kernel assumptions, we establish the global existence of entropy weak solutions in ${\bf L}^2(\mathbb{R})$,…
A nondispersive, conservative regularisation of the inviscid Burgers equation is proposed and studied. Inspired by a related regularisation of the shallow water system recently introduced by Clamond and Dutykh, the new regularisation…
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak entropy solutions to the Burgers-Poisson equation for initial data in L^1(R). Additional an Oleinik type estimate is established and some criteria on local smoothness and wave…
This article addresses some asymptotic and numerical issues related to the solution of Burgers' equation, $-\epsilon u_{xx} + u_t + u u_x = 0$ on $(-1,1)$, subject to the boundary conditions $u(-1) = 1 + \delta$, $u(1) = -1$, and its…
The Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation laws admits a unique entropy solution when the data $u_0$ is a bounded measurable function (Kruzhkov). The semi-group $(S_t)_{t\ge0}$ is contracting in the $L^1$-distance. For the…
It is shown that the generalizations to more than one space dimension of the pole decomposition for the Burgers equation with finite viscosity and no force are of the form u = -2 viscosity grad log P, where the P's are explicitly known…
We investigate the initial-value problem for the relativistic Euler equations governing isothermal perfect fluid flows, and generalize an approach introduced by LeFloch and Shelukhin in the non-relativistic setting. We establish the…
We establish a general nonlocal approximation principle for the entropy solutions of scalar conservation laws on $\mathbb{R}$. More precisely, we show that the entropy solution to a nonnegative initial datum can be obtained as a weak-star…
The Lax equivalence theorem guarantees convergence of stable and consistent discretizations for linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). For nonlinear problems, however, stability and consistency alone do not generally…
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the two-dimensional Burgers equation using the framework of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. The two-dimensional Burgers equation, which models the interplay…
The paper is a comprehensive study of the existence, uniqueness, blow up and regularity properties of solutions of the Burgers equation with fractional dissipation. We prove existence of the finite time blow up for the power of Laplacian…
The paper recalls two of the regularity results for Burgers' equation, and discusses what happens in the case of genuinely nonlinear, strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The first regularity result which is considered is…
The paper is concerned with the steady-state Burgers equation of fractional dissipation on the real line. We first prove the global existence of viscosity weak solutions to the fractal Burgers equation driven by the external force. Then the…
Within the class of nonlinear hyperbolic balance laws posed on a curved spacetime (endowed with a volume form), we identify a hyperbolic balance law that enjoys the same Lorentz invariance property as the one satisfied by the Euler…
We consider the fractional unforced Burgers equation in the one-dimensional space-periodic setting: $$\partial u/\partial t+(f(u))_x +\nu \Lambda^{\alpha} u= 0, t \geq 0,\ \mathbb{x} \in \mathbb{T}^d=(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^d.$$ Here $f$ is…
