Singularity Formation in Systems of Non-strictly Hyperbolic Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze finite time singularity formation for two systems of hyperbolic equations. Our results extend previous proofs of breakdown concerning 2× 2 non-strictly hyperbolic systems to n× n systems, and to a situation where, additionally, the condition of genuine nonlinearity is violated throughout phase space. The systems we consider include as special cases those examined by Keyfitz and Kranzer and by Serre. They take the form ut + (φ(u)u)x = 0, where φ is a scalar-valued function of the n-dimensional vector u, and ut + Λ(u)ux = 0, under the assumption Λ = diag {λ, . . . , λ} with λ = λ(u− u), where u− u ≡ {u, . . . , u, u, . . . , u}.

A meshless technique for nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations via hybrid of radial basis functions
In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. Zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...
متن کاملGradient Driven and Singular Flux Blowup of Smooth Solutions to Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws
Abstract. We consider two new classes of examples of sup-norm blowup in finite time for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The explosive growth in amplitude is caused either by a gradient catastrophe or by a singularity in the flux function. The examples show that solutions of uniformly strictly hyperbolic systems can remain as smooth as the initial data until the time of blowup....

We consider two new classes of examples of sup-norm blowup in finite time for strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The explosive growth in amplitude is caused either by a gradient catastrophe or by a singularity in the flux function. The examples show that solutions of (uniformly) strictly hyperbolic systems can remain as smooth as the initial data until the time of blowup. Consequ...
متن کاملFormation of singularity and smooth wave propagation for the non-isentropic compressible Euler equations
We define compressive and rarefactive waves and give the differential equations describing smooth wave steepening for the compressible Euler equations with a varying entropy profile and general pressure laws. Using these differential equations, we directly generalize P. Lax’s singularity (shock) formation results in [9] for hyperbolic systems with two variables to the 3× 3 compressible Euler eq...
متن کاملPropagation of Support and Singularity Formation for a Class of 2d Quasilinear Hyperbolic Systems
In this paper we consider a class of quasilinear, non-strictly hyper-bolic 2 2 systems in two space dimensions. Our main result is nite speed of propagation of the support of smooth solutions for these systems. As a consequence, we establish non-existence of global smooth solutions for a class of suuciently large, smooth initial data. The non-existence result applies to systems in conservation ...
