Consider a non-local (i.e., involving a convolution term) conservation law: when the convolution term converges to a Dirac delta, in the limit we formally recover a classical (or "local") conservation law. In this note we overview recent…

We consider a class of nonlocal conservation laws with exponential kernel and prove that quantities involving the nonlocal term $W:=\mathbb{1}_{(-\infty,0]}(\cdot)\exp(\cdot) \ast \rho$ satisfy an Ole\u{\i}nik-type entropy condition. More…

Solutions to conservation laws satisfy the monotonicity property: the number of local extrema is a non-increasing function of time, and local maximum/minimum values decrease/increase monotonically in time. This paper investigates this…
