Classical solutions to the scalar conservation law with discontinuous initial data

Jędrzej Jabłoński (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar conservation law are found in the class of discontinuous initial data and non-convex flux function. Regularity of rarefaction waves starting from discontinuous initial data and their dependence on the flux function are investigated and illustrated in a few examples.

The wave map problem. Small data critical regularity

Igor Rodnianski (2005-2006)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Similarity:

The paper provides a description of the wave map problem with a specific focus on the breakthrough work of T. Tao which showed that a wave map, a dynamic lorentzian analog of a harmonic map, from Minkowski space into a sphere with smooth initial data and a small critical Sobolev norm exists globally in time and remains smooth. When the dimension of the base Minkowski space is ( 2 + 1 ) , the critical norm coincides with energy, the only manifestly conserved quantity in this (lagrangian) theory....

Wave front tracking in systems of conservation laws

Similarity:

This paper contains several recent results about nonlinear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws obtained through the technique of Wave Front Tracking.

A large data regime for nonlinear wave equations

Jinhua Wang, Pin Yu (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We also exhibit a set of localized data for which the corresponding solutions are strongly focused, which in geometric terms means that a wave travels along an specific incoming null geodesic in such a way that almost all of the energy is concentrated in a tubular neighborhood of the geodesic and almost no energy radiates out of this neighborhood.

Well-posedness for Systems Representing Electromagnetic/Acoustic Wavefront Interaction

H. T. Banks, J. K. Raye (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider dispersive electromagnetic systems in dielectric materials in the presence of acoustic wavefronts. A theory for existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data is presented for a general class of systems which include acoustic pressure-dependent Debye polarization models for dielectric materials.
