Weak formulation of boundary conditions for scalar conservation laws: an application to highway traffic modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article proves the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to a scalar conservation law on a bounded domain. A weak formulation of the boundary conditions is needed for the problem to be well posed. The existence of the solution results from the convergence of the Godunov scheme. This weak formulation is written explicitly in the context of a strictly concave flux function (relevant for highway traffic). The numerical scheme is then applied to a highway scenario with data from highway Interstate-80 obtained from the Berkeley Highway Laboratory. Finally, the existence of a minimiser of travel time is obtained, with the corresponding optimal boundary control. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Mixed Initial-Boundary Value Problems for Scalar Conservation Laws: Application to the Modeling of Transportation Networks
This article proves the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to a scalar conservation law on a bounded domain. A weak formulation of hybrid boundary conditions is needed for the problem to be well posed. The boundary conditions are represented by a hybrid automaton with switches between the modes determined by the direction of characteristics of the system at the boundary. The existence ...
متن کاملAn error estimate for the parabolic approximation of multidimensional scalar conservation laws with boundary conditions
We study the parabolic approximation of a multidimensional scalar conservation law with initial and boundary conditions. We prove that the rate of convergence of the viscous approximation to the weak entropy solution is of order η, where η is the size of the artificial viscosity. We use a kinetic formulation and kinetic techniques for initial-boundary value problems developed by the last two au...
متن کاملExplicit formulation for the Dirichlet problem for parabolic-hyperbolic conservation laws
We revisit the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for degenerate parabolic scalar conservation laws. We suggest a new notion of strong entropy solution. It gives a straightforward explicit characterization of the boundary values of the solution and of the flux, and leads to a concise and natural uniqueness proof, compared to the one of the fundamental work [J. Carrillo, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 1999]. ...
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 کاملRitz Method Application to Bending, Buckling and Vibration Analyses of Timoshenko Beams via Nonlocal Elasticity
Bending, buckling and vibration behaviors of nonlocal Timoshenko beams are investigated in this research using a variational approach. At first, the governing equations of the nonlocal Timoshenko beams are obtained, and then the weak form of these equations is outlined in this paper. The Ritz technique is selected to investigate the behavior of nonlocal beams with arbitrary boundary conditions ...
