Hyperbolic systems equivalent to the wave equation.
The semi-group associated with the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law is known to be a contraction in . However it is not a contraction in for any . Leger showed in [20] that for a convex flux, it is however a contraction in up to a suitable shift. We investigate in this paper whether such a contraction may happen for systems. The method is based on the relative entropy method. Our general analysis leads us to the new geometrical notion of Genuinely non-Temple systems. We treat in...
We prove the --time decay estimates for the solution of the Cauchy problem for the hyperbolic system of partial differential equations of linear thermoelasticity. In our proof based on the matrix of fundamental solutions to the system we use Strauss-Klainerman’s approach [12], [5] to the --time decay estimates.
Existence and uniqueness of almost everywhere solutions of nonlocal problems to functional partial differential systems in diagonal form are investigated. The proof is based on the characteristics and fixed point methods.
In this work, we investigate the Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) introduced by Bérenger [3] for designing efficient numerical absorbing layers in electromagnetism. We make a mathematical analysis of this model, first via a modal analysis with standard Fourier techniques, then via energy techniques. We obtain uniform in time stability results (that make precise some results known in the literature) and state some energy decay results that illustrate the absorbing properties of the model. This last...

On présente une famille de problèmes mixtes hyperboliques linéaires bien-posés au sens de Hadamard. La nouveauté consiste à autoriser une perte de régularité entre les termes source et la solution. On montre ainsi que la condition de Lopatinskii faible est suffisante pour obtenir le caractère bien-posé des problèmes mixtes hyperboliques linéaires.
We study the “hyperboloidal Cauchy problem” for linear and semi-linear wave equations on Minkowski space-time, with initial data in weighted Sobolev spaces allowing singular behavior at the boundary, or with polyhomogeneous initial data. Specifically, we consider nonlinear symmetric hyperbolic systems of a form which includes scalar fields with a nonlinearity, as well as wave maps, with initial data given on a hyperboloid; several of the results proved apply to general space-times admitting conformal...
