چکیده
We prove that if u is the entropy solution to a scalar conservation law in one space dimension, then the entropy dissipation is a measure concentrated on countably many Lipschitz curves. This result is a consequence of a detailed analysis of the structure of the characteristics. In particular the characteristic curves are segments outside a countably 1-rectifiable set and the left and right traces of the solution exist in a C0-sense up to the degeneracy due to the segments where f ′′ = 0. We prove also that the initial data is taken in a suitably strong sense and we give some counterexamples which show that these results are sharp. Preprint SISSA 43/2016/MATE

Structure of Entropy Solutions to General Scalar Conservation Laws in One Space Dimension
In this paper, we show that the entropy solution u(t) of a scalar conservation law enjoys the properties: • u is continuous outside a 1-rectifiable set Ξ⊂ R+ × R, • up to a countable set, for each point (t̄, x̄) ∈ Ξ there exists two cone shaped regions arbitrarily close to half planes where u is left/right continuous at (t̄, x̄). We provide examples showing that these estimates are nearly optimal. ...
متن کاملStructure of Entropy Solutions for Multi{dimensional Scalar Conservation Laws
An entropy solution u of a multi{dimensional scalar conservation law is not necessarily in BV , even if the conservation law is genuinely nonlinear. We show that u nevertheless has the structure of a BV {function in the sense that the shock location is codimension{one rectiiable. This result highlights the regularizing eeect of genuine non-linearity in a qualitative way; it is based on the loca...
متن کاملOn Quantitative Compactness Estimates for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
We are concerned with the compactness in Lloc of the semigroup (St)t≥0 of entropy weak solutions generated by hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension. This note provides a survey of recent results establishing upper and lower estimates for the Kolmogorov ε-entropy of the image through the mapping St of bounded sets in L1 ∩ L∞, both in the case of scalar and of systems of conservatio...
متن کاملLower compactness estimates for scalar balance laws
We study the compactness in Lloc of the semigroup (St)t≥0 of entropy weak solutions to strictly convex scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. The compactness of St for each t > 0 was established by P. D. Lax [1]. Upper estimates for the Kolmogorov’s ε-entropy of the image through St of bounded sets C in L ∩ L∞ which is denoted by Hε(St(C) | L(R)) := log2 Nε(St(C)). where Nε(St(C)) is ...
متن کاملValidity of Nonlinear Geometric Optics for Entropy Solutions of Multidimensional Scalar Conservation Laws
Nonlinear geometric optics with various frequencies for entropy solutions only in L∞ of multidimensional scalar conservation laws is analyzed. A new approach to validate nonlinear geometric optics is developed via entropy dissipation through scaling, compactness, homogenization, and L–stability. New multidimensional features are recognized, especially including nonlinear propagations of oscilla...
