Relative entropy method for measure-valued solutions in natural sciences

Analysis of PDEs 2017-09-06 v1

Abstract

In this article we describe the applications of the relative entropy framework. In particular uniqueness of an entropy solution is proven for a scalar conservation law, using the notion of measure-valued entropy solutions. Further we survey recent results concerning measure-valued-strong uniqueness for a number of physical systems - incompressible and compressible Euler equations, compressible Navier-Stokes, polyconvex elastodynamics and general hyperbolic conservation laws, as well as long-time asymptotics of the McKendrick-Von Foerster equation.
