Viscous approach for Linear Hyperbolic Systems with Discontinuous Coefficients

Bruno Fornet (2009)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We introduce small viscosity solutions of hyperbolic systems with discontinuous coefficients accross the fixed noncharacteristic hypersurface { x d = 0 } . Under a geometric stability assumption, our first result is obtained, in the multi-D framework, for piecewise smooth coefficients. For our second result, the considered operator is 𝔻 t + a ( x ) 𝔻 x , with s i g n ( x a ( x ) ) > 0 (expansive case not included in our first result), thus resulting in an infinity of weak solutions. Proving that this problem is uniformly Evans-stable, we show that...

Whitham averaged equations and modulational stability of periodic traveling waves of a hyperbolic-parabolic balance law

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

In this note, we report on recent findings concerning the spectral and nonlinear stability of periodic traveling wave solutions of hyperbolic-parabolic systems of balance laws, as applied to the St. Venant equations of shallow water flow down an incline. We begin by introducing a natural set of spectral stability assumptions, motivated by considerations from the Whitham averaged equations, and outline the recent proof yielding nonlinear stability under these conditions. We then turn to an analytical...
