A Chain Rule Formula in Bv and Applications to Conservation Laws
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we prove a new chain rule formula for the distributional derivative of the composite function v(x) = B(x, u(x)), where u :]a, b[→ Rd has bounded variation, B(x, ·) is continuously differentiable and B(·, u) has bounded variation. We propose an application of this formula in order to deal in an intrinsic way with the discontinuous flux appearing in conservation laws in one space variable.

On the Chain Rule for the Divergence of Bv like Vector Fields: Applications, Partial Results, Open Problems
In this paper we study the distributional divergence of vector fields U in R of the form U = wB, where w is scalar function and B is a weakly differentiable vector field (or more in general the divergence of tensor fields of the form w⊗B). In particular we are interested in a kind of chain rule property, relating the divergence of h(w)B to the divergence of wB. In some sense, if one replaces “d...

In 1994, Lions, Perthame and Tadmor conjectured the maximal smoothing effect for multidimensional scalar conservation laws in Sobolev spaces. For strictly smooth convex flux and the one-dimensional case we detail the proof of this conjecture in the framework of Sobolev fractional spaces W s,1, and in fractional BV spaces: BV s. The BV s smoothing effect is more precise and optimal. It implies t...

Dv = B′(ũ)∇uLN +B′(ũ)Dcu+ (B(u)−B(u))νuH Ju , where ∇u is the absolutely continuous part of Du, Du is the Cantor part of Du and Ju is the jump set of u (for the definition of these and other relevant quantities, see Sect.2). A delicate issue about this formula concerns the meaning of the first two terms on the right hand side. In fact, in order to understand why they are well defined, one has t...
متن کاملFractional BV spaces and first applications to scalar conservation laws
The aim of this paper is to obtain new fine properties of entropy solutions of nonlinear scalar conservation laws. For this purpose, we study some “fractional BV spaces” denoted BV s, for 0 < s ≤ 1, introduced by Love and Young in 1937. The BV s(R) spaces are very closed to the critical Sobolev space W s,1/s(R). We investigate these spaces in relation with one-dimensional scalar conservation la...
