Ill-posedness of the Cauchy Problem for Totally Degenerate System of Conservation Laws

چکیده
In this paper we answer some open questions concerning totally degenerate systems of conservation laws. We study the augmented Born-Infeld system, which is the Born-Infeld model augmented by two additional conservations laws. This system is a nice example of totally degenerate system of conservation laws and, global smooth solutions are conjectured to exist when the initial-data is smooth. We show that this conjecture is false, for the more natural and general condition of initial-data. In fact, first we show that does not exist global smooth solution for any 2 × 2 totally degenerated system of conservation laws, which the characteristics speeds do not have singular points. Moreover, we sharpen the conjecture in Majda [20]. Under the same hypothesis of initial-data, we show that the Riemann Problem is not well-posed, which follows for weak solutions of the Cauchy Problem. In the end, we prove some results on the direction of well-posedness for the less physically initial-data.

This paper is concerned with the initial value problem for a strictly hyperbolic n n system of conservation laws in one space dimension: u t + F(u) x = 0; u(0; x) = u(x): () Each characteristic eld is assumed to be either linearly degenerate or genuinely nonlinear. We prove that there exists a domain D L 1 , containing all functions with suuciently small total variation, and a uniformly Lipschi...

The Cauchy problem for the higher order equations in the mKdV hierarchy is investigated with data in the spaces b H s (R) defined by the norm ‖v0‖ b Hr s (R) := ‖〈ξ〉 b v0‖Lr′ ξ , 〈ξ〉 = (1 + ξ) 1 2 , 1 r + 1 r = 1. Local well-posedness for the jth equation is shown in the parameter range 2 ≥ r > 1, s ≥ 2j−1 2r . The proof uses an appropriate variant of the Fourier restriction norm method. A coun...

We analyze a simple system of conservation laws with a strong relaxation term. Well-posedness of the Cauchy problem, in the framework of BV-solutions, is proved. Furthermore, we prove that the solutions converge towards the solution of an equilibrium model as the relaxation time > 0 tends to zero. Finally, we show that the dierence between an equilibrium solution (= 0) and a non-equilibrium sol...

As in the classical paper of Lax [L], we assume here that the system is strictly hyperbolic with each characteristic field either linearly degenerate or genuinely nonlinear. In this setting, the recent progress in the field has shown that within the class of initial data ū ∈ L ∩BV (R,R) having the total variation suitably small, the problem (1.1) (1.2) is well posed in L(R,R). Namely, as proved...
