Existence and Regularity of Solutions for a Semilinear First-Order Equation on the Torus.
This paper is devoted to the existence and uniqueness of solutions for gradient systems of evolution which involve gradients taken with respect to time-variable inner products. The Gelfand triple considered in the setting of this paper is such that the embedding is only continuous.
Despite their deficiencies, continuous second-order traffic flow models are still commonly used to derive discrete-time models that help traffic engineers to model and predict traffic oflow behaviour on highways. We brie fly overview the development of traffic flow theory based on continuous flow-density models of Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) type, that lead to the second-order model of Aw-Rascle. We will then concentrate on widely-adopted discrete approximation to the LWR model by Daganzo's...
