Fundamental solutions and asymptotic behaviour for the p-Laplacian equation.

Soshana Kamin, Juan Luis Vázquez (1988)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We establish the uniqueness of fundamental solutions to the p-Laplacian equationut = div (|Du|p-2 Du),   p > 2,defined for x ∈ RN, 0 < t < T. We derive from this result the asymptotic behavoir of nonnegative solutions with finite mass, i.e., such that u(*,t) ∈ L1(RN). Our methods also apply to the porous medium equationut = ∆(um),   m > 1,giving new and simpler proofs of known results. We finally introduce yet another method of proving asymptotic results based on the...

Fundamental solutions and singular shocks in scalar conservation laws.

Emmanuel Chasseigne (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We study the existence and non-existence of fundamental solutions for the scalar conservation laws ut + f(u)x = 0, related to convexity assumptions on f. We also study the limits of those solutions as the initial mass goes to infinity. We especially prove the existence of so-called Friendly Giants and Infinite Shock Solutions according to the convexity of f, which generalize the explicit power case f(u) = um. We introduce an extended notion of solution and entropy criterion to allow infinite shocks...
