We consider the Cauchy problem for a nonlocal wave equation in one dimension. We study the existence of solutions by means of bicharacteristics. The existence and uniqueness is obtained in topology. The existence theorem is proved in a subset generated by certain continuity conditions for the derivatives.
We study the question of the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on parameters of the Carathéodory solutions to the Cauchy problem for linear partial functional-differential equations of hyperbolic type. A theorem on the Fredholm alternative is also proved. The results obtained are new even in the case of equations without argument deviations, because we do not suppose absolute continuity of the function the Cauchy problem is prescribed on, which is rather usual assumption in the existing...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L15, Secondary 35L30.In this paper we prove that for non effectively hyperbolic operators with smooth double characteristics with the Hamilton map exhibiting a Jordan block of size 4 on the double characteristic manifold the Cauchy problem is well posed in the Gevrey 6 class if the strict Ivrii-Petkov-Hörmander condition is satisfied.
We consider a system of balance laws describing the motion of an ionized compressible fluid interacting with magnetic fields and radiation effects. The local-in-time existence of a unique smooth solution for the Cauchy problem is proven. The proof follows from the method of successive approximations.
The phenomenon of roll waves occurs in a uniform open-channel flow down an incline, when the Froude number is above two. The goal of this paper is to analyze the behavior of numerical approximations to a model roll wave equation which arises as a weakly nonlinear approximation of the shallow water equations. The main difficulty associated with the numerical approximation of this problem is its linear instability. Numerical round-off error can easily overtake the numerical solution and yields false...

In this paper, we present some interesting connections between a number of Riemann-solver free approaches to the numerical solution of multi-dimensional systems of conservation laws. As a main part, we present a new and elementary derivation of Fey’s Method of Transport (MoT) (respectively the second author’s ICE version of the scheme) and the state decompositions which form the basis of it. The only tools that we use are quadrature rules applied to the moment integral used in the gas kinetic derivation...

We study the controllability problem for the one-dimensional Euler isentropic system, both in Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates, by means of boundary controls, in the context of weak entropy solutions. We give a sufficient condition on the initial and final states under which the first one can be steered to the latter.
