We consider systems of conservation laws endowed with a convex entropy. We show the contraction, up to a translation, to extremal entropic shocks, for a pseudo-distance based on the notion of relative entropy. The contraction holds for…
Let $u(t,x)$ be the solution to the Cauchy problem of a scalar conservation law in one space dimension. It is well known that even for smooth initial data the solution can become discontinuous in finite time and global entropy weak solution…
In this paper, we show that a geometrical condition on $2\times2$ systems of conservation laws leads to non-uniqueness in the class of 1D continuous functions. This demonstrates that the Liu Entropy Condition alone is insufficient to…
We develop a theory based on relative entropy to show the uniqueness and L^2 stability (up to a translation) of extremal entropic Rankine-Hugoniot discontinuities for systems of conservation laws (typically 1-shocks, n-shocks, 1-contact…

We study the quasi-static limit for the $L^\infty$ entropy weak solution of scalar one-dimensional hyperbolic equations with strictly concave or convex flux and time dependent boundary conditions. The quasi-stationary profile evolves with…
We study the following class of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws with discontinuous fluxes: \partial_t\rho+\partial_xF(x,\rho)=0. The main feature of such a conservation law is the discontinuity of the flux function in the space variable…
