On the problem of determining the parameters of a layered elastic medium and an impulse source.
The aspects of symmetrization of hyperbolic equations which will be considered in this review have their own history and are related to some classical results from other areas of mathematics ([12]). Here symmetrization means representation of an initial system of equations in the form of a symmetric t-hyperbolic system in the sense of Friedrichs. Some equations of mathematical physics, for example, the equations of acoustics, of gas dynamics, etc. already have this form. In the 70's S. K. Godunov...
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...
We consider a class of nonconvex and nonclosed hyperbolic differential inclusions and we prove the arcwise connectedness of the solution set.
A generalized concept of sign is introduced in the context of Colombeau algebras. It extends the sign of the point-value in the case of sufficiently regular functions. This concept of generalized sign is then used to characterize the entropy condition for discontinuous solutions of scalar conservation laws.
