Compensated compactness and one-dimensional elastodynamics
This paper concerns numerical methods for two-phase flows. The governing equations are the compressible 2-velocity, 2-pressure flow model. Pressure and velocity relaxation are included as source terms. Results obtained by a Godunov-type central scheme and a Roe-type upwind scheme are presented. Issues of preservation of pressure equilibrium, and positivity of the partial densities are addressed.

We consider models based on conservation laws. For the optimization of such systems, a sensitivity analysis is essential to determine how changes in the decision variables influence the objective function. Here we study the sensitivity with respect to the initial data of objective functions that depend upon the solution of Riemann problems with piecewise linear flux functions. We present representations for the one–sided directional derivatives of the objective functions. The results can be used...

In this paper we analyze the consistency, the accuracy and some entropy properties of particle methods with remeshing in the case of a scalar one-dimensional conservation law. As in [G.-H. Cottet and L. Weynans, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 343 (2006) 51–56] we re-write particle methods with remeshing in the finite-difference formalism. This allows us to prove the consistency of these methods, and accuracy properties related to the accuracy of interpolation kernels. Cottet and Magni devised recently...

We design efficient numerical schemes for approximating the MHD equations in multi-dimensions. Numerical approximations must be able to deal with the complex wave structure of the MHD equations and the divergence constraint. We propose schemes based on the genuinely multi-dimensional (GMD) framework of [S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, Commun. Comput. Phys. 9 (2010) 688–710; S. Mishra and E. Tadmor, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011) 1023–1045]. The schemes are formulated in terms of vertex-centered potentials....

This paper is devoted to the investigation of quasilinear hyperbolic equations of first order with convex and nonconvex hysteresis operator. It is shown that in the nonconvex case the equation, whose nonlinearity is caused by the hysteresis term, has properties analogous to the quasilinear hyperbolic equation of first order. Hysteresis is represented by a functional describing adsorption and desorption on the particles of the substance. An existence result is achieved by using an approximation of...
We consider the Cauchy problem for degenerate parabolic equations with variable coefficients. The equation has nonlinear convective term and degenerate diffusion term which depends on the spatial and time variables. In this paper, we prove the continuous dependence for entropy solutions in the space BV to the problem not only initial function but also all coefficients.
This paper focuses on the analytical properties of the solutions to the continuity equation with non local flow. Our driving examples are a supply chain model and an equation for the description of pedestrian flows. To this aim, we prove the well posedness of weak entropy solutions in a class of equations comprising these models. Then, under further regularity conditions, we prove the differentiability of solutions with respect to the initial datum and characterize this derivative. A necessary ...
