Formation of Singularities for Weakly Non-Linear N×N Hyperbolic Systems

Boiti, Chiara, Manfrin, Renato (2001)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We present some results on the formation of singularities for C^1 - solutions of the quasi-linear N × N strictly hyperbolic system Ut + A(U )Ux = 0 in [0, +∞) × Rx . Under certain weak non-linearity conditions (weaker than genuine non-linearity), we prove that the first order derivative of the solution blows-up in finite time.

Fundamental solutions and singular shocks in scalar conservation laws.

Emmanuel Chasseigne (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We study the existence and non-existence of fundamental solutions for the scalar conservation laws ut + f(u)x = 0, related to convexity assumptions on f. We also study the limits of those solutions as the initial mass goes to infinity. We especially prove the existence of so-called Friendly Giants and Infinite Shock Solutions according to the convexity of f, which generalize the explicit power case f(u) = um. We introduce an extended notion of solution and entropy criterion to allow infinite shocks...
