We consider the mixed problem for the hyperbolic partial differential-functional equation of the first order $$D_{x}z(x,y)=f(x,y,z_{(x,y)},D_{y}z(x,y)),$$ where $z_{(x,y)}[-\tau ,0]\times [0,h]\to ℝ$ is a function defined by $z_{(x,y)}(t,s)=z(x+t,y+s)$, $(t,s)\in [-\tau ,0]\times [0,h]$. Using the method of bicharacteristics and the method of successive approximations for a certain integral-functional system we prove, under suitable assumptions, a theorem of the local existence of generalized solutions of this problem.

We consider the mixed problem for the quasilinear partial functional differential equation with unbounded delay $D_{t}z(t,x)={\sum }_{i=1}^n{f}_i(t,x,z_{(t,x)})D_{x_i}z(t,x)+h(t,x,z_{(t,x)})$, where $z_{(t,x)}\in X{̶}_0$ is defined by $z_{(t,x)}(\tau ,s)=z(t+\tau ,x+s)$, $(\tau ,s)\in (-\infty ,0]\times [0,r]$, and the phase space $X{̶}_0$ satisfies suitable axioms. Using the method of bicharacteristics and the fixed-point method we prove a theorem on the local existence and uniqueness of Carathéodory solutions of the mixed problem.

Some methods for the numerical approximation of time-dependent and steady first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations are reviewed. Most of the discussion focuses on conformal triangular-type meshes, but we show how to extend this to the most general meshes. We review some first-order monotone schemes and also high-order ones specially dedicated to steady problems.

The paper deals with initial-boundary value problem for generalized solutions of single quasilinear nonautonomous conservation law. For the case so-called "processes with aggravation" the localization property and inner boundedness are studied. Also in case when boundary function tends to zero as t ⇒ +∞ the localization effect is regarded.

This paper establishes the equivalence between systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation and systems described by integral delay equations. System-theoretic results are provided for both classes of systems (among them converse Lyapunov results). The proposed framework can allow the study of discontinuous solutions for nonlinear systems described by a single first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation under the effect of measurable inputs acting on...

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximations of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The first goal is to introduce a general concept of well-balancing for numerical schemes solving this kind of systems. Once this concept stated, we investigate the well-balance properties of numerical schemes based on the generalized Roe linearizations introduced by [Toumi, J. Comp. Phys. 102 (1992) 360–373]. Next, this general theory is applied to obtain well-balanced...
