Minimality property for entropic solutions to scalar conservation laws in 1 + 1 dimensions

چکیده
Abstract : The Second Law of Thermodynamics asserts that the physical entropy of an adiabatic system is an increasing function in time. In this paper we will study a more stringent version of this law, according to which the entropy should not only increase in time, but the rate of increase is optimal in absolute value among all possible evolutions. We will establish this property in the framework of non-linear scalar hyperbolic conservation law with strictly convex fluxes.

Moderate dispersion in scalar conservation laws
We consider the weakly dissipative and weakly dispersive Burgers-Hopf-Korteweg-de-Vries equation with the diffusion coefficient ε and the dispersion rate δ in the range δ/ε → 0. We study the travelling wave connecting u(−∞) = 1 to u(+∞) = 0 and show that it converges strongly to the entropic shock profile as ε, δ → 0. Key-words Travelling waves, moderate dispersion, Korteweg de Vries equation, ...
متن کاملRelative entropy and the stability of shocks and contact discontinuities for systems of conservation laws with non BV perturbations
We develop a theory based on relative entropy to show the uniqueness and L stability (up to a translation) of extremal entropic Rankine-Hugoniot discontinuities for systems of conservation laws (typically 1-shocks, n-shocks, 1-contact discontinuities and n-contact discontinuities of large amplitude) among bounded entropic weak solutions having an additional trace property. The existence of a co...
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 کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...
متن کاملConvergence of a stochastic particle approximation for fractional scalar conservation laws
In this paper, we are interested in approximating the solution to scalar conservation laws using systems of interacting stochastic particles. The scalar conservation law may involve a fractional Laplacian term of order α ∈ (0, 2]. When α ≤ 1 as well as in the absence of this term (inviscid case), its solution is characterized by entropic inequalities. The probabilistic interpretation of the sca...
