Convergence of Vanishing Viscosity Approximations of 2 x 2 Triangular Systems of Multi-Dimensional Conservation Laws

G. M. Coclite, K. H. Karlsen, S. Mishra, N. H. Risebro (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

We consider a multidimensional triangular system of conservation laws. These equations arise in models of three phase flows in porous media and include multi dimensional conservation laws with discontinuous coefficients as special cases. We study approximate solutions of these equations constructed by the vanishing viscosity method and show that the approximate solutions converge to a weak solution of the multi-dimensional triangular system.

Laws of nature, exceptions and tropes

Max Kistler (2003)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

I propose a realist theory of laws formulated in terms of tropes (or property instances) that avoids both the problems of the “best-systems-analysis” and the “inference problem” of realism of universals. I analyze the concept of an exceptional situation, characterized as a situation in which a particular object satisfies the antecedent but not the consequent of the regularity associated with a law, without thereby falsifying that law. To take this possibility into account, the properties...
