Lyapunov Functional for Solutions of Systems of Conservation Laws Containing a Strong Rarefaction
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the Cauchy problem for a strictly hyperbolic n×n system of conservation laws in one space dimension: ut + f(u)x = 0, u(0, x) = ū(x). The initial data ū is a small BV perturbation of a single rarefaction wave with an arbitrary strength. All characteristic fields are assumed to be genuinely nonlinear or linearly degenerate in the vicinity of the reference rarefaction curve. We prove that a suitable BV stability condition yields uniform bounds on the total variation of perturbation, thus implying the existence of a global admissible solution. On the other hand, a stronger L1 stability condition guarantees the existence of the Lipschitz continuous flow of solutions. Our proof relies on the construction of a Lyapunov functional which is almost decreasing in time and which is equivalent to the L1 distance between the two solutions.

Self-similar solutions of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation laws
In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem
متن کاملDissipative boundary conditions for 2 2 hyperbolic systems of conservation laws for entropy solutions in BV
In this article, we investigate the BV stability of 2×2 hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with strictly positive velocities under dissipative boundary conditions. More precisely, we derive sufficient conditions guaranteeing the exponential stability of the system under consideration for entropy solutions in BV. Our proof is based on a front tracking algorithm used to construct approximate...
متن کاملThe comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...
متن کاملStability Conditions for Strong Rarefaction Waves
In this paper we study a number of algebraic conditions connected with the stability of strictly hyperbolic n × n systems of conservation laws in one space dimension ut + f(u)x = 0. Such conditions yield existence and continuity of the flow of solutions in the vicinity of the reference solution. Our main concern is a single rarefaction wave having arbitrarily large strength.
متن کاملOn a Lyapunov Functional Relating Shortening Curves and Viscous Conservation Laws
We study a non linear functional which controls the area swept by a curve moving in the plane in the direction of curvature. In turn, this yields a priori estimates on solutions to a class of parabolic equations and of scalar viscous conservation laws. A further application provides an estimate on the “change of shape” of a BV solution to a scalar conservation law.
