We prove the well-posedness of entropy weak solutions for a class of space-discontinuous scalar conservation laws with non-local flux arising in traffic modeling. We approximate the problem adding a viscosity term and we provide $L^\infty$…
In this paper we deal with the regularizing effect that, in a scalar conservation laws in one space dimension, the nonlinearity of the flux function $f$ has on the entropy solution. More precisely, if the set $\{w:f''(w)\ne 0\}$ is dense,…

The focus of the present research is on the analysis of local energy stability of high-order (including split-form) summation-by-parts methods, with e.g. two-point entropy-conserving fluxes, approximating non-linear conservation laws. Our…
This article deals with the regularity aspects of entropy solutions to scalar conservation laws. We show that for each C2 flux in multi-D, there exists an entropy solution which does not belong to BV locally for all time. For this purpose,…
We prove that vanishing viscosity solutions to smooth non-degenerate systems of balance laws having small bounded variation, in one space dimension, must be functions of special bounded variation. For more than one equation, this is new…
Global entropy solutions in $BV$ for a scalar nonlocal conservation law with fading memory are constructed as limits of vanishing viscosity approximate solutions. The uniqueness and stability of entropy solutions in $BV$ are established,…
