Viscous Conservation Laws, Part I: Scalar Laws

Viscous conservation laws are the basic models for the dissipative phenomena. We aim at a systematic presentation of the basic ideas for the quantitative study of the nonlinear waves for viscous conservation laws. The present paper concentrates on the scalar laws; an upcoming Part II will deal with the systems. The basic ideas for scalar viscous conservation laws originated from two sources: th...

Ultrametric Logarithm Laws I.

We announce ultrametric analogues of the results of Kleinbock-Margulis for shrinking target properties of semisimple group actions on symmetric spaces. The main applications are S-arithmetic Diophantine approximation results and logarithm laws for buildings, generalizing the work of Hersonsky-Paulin on trees.

L2 formulation of multidimensional scalar conservation laws

L formulation of multidimensional scalar conservation laws

AMS classification : 35L65, 47H05 Abstract We show that Kruzhkov’s theory of entropy solutions to multidimensional scalar conservation laws [Kr] can be entirely recast in L and fits into the general theory of maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. Our approach is based on a combination of level-set, kinetic and transport-collapse approximations, in the spirit of previous works by Giga, M...

Identification of nonlinear heat transfer laws from boundary observations

We consider the problem of identifying a nonlinear heat transfer law at the boundary, or of the temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficient in a parabolic equation from boundary observations. As a practical example, this model applies to the heat transfer coefficient that describes the intensity of heat exchange between a hot wire and the cooling water in which it is placed. We reformulate ...
