Congested traffic dynamics, weak flows and very degenerate elliptic equations

چکیده
Starting from a model of traffic congestion, we introduce a minimal-flow–like variational problem whose solution is characterized by a very degenerate elliptic PDE. We precisely investigate the relations between these two problems, which can be done by considering some weak notion of flow for a related ODE. We also prove regularity results for the degenerate elliptic PDE, which enables us in some cases to apply the DiPerna-Lions theory.

An Excess-decay Result for a Class of Degenerate Elliptic Equations
We consider a family of degenerate elliptic equations of the form div(∇F (∇u)) = f , where F ∈ C is a convex function which is elliptic outside a ball. We prove an excess-decay estimate at points where ∇u is close to a nondegenerate value for F . This result applies to degenerate equations arising in traffic congestion, where we obtain continuity of∇u outside the degeneracy, and to anisotropic ...
متن کاملAdaptation of Structured Grid for Supersonic and Transonic Flows
Two distinct redistribution grids - adaptation techniques, spring analogy and elliptic grid generator are applied to two-dimensional steady, inviscid, shocked flows, and the ability of each technique is examined and compared. Euler equations are solved base on Roe's Reimann solver approach to simulate supersonic flow around a sphere, transonic flow about an airfoil and supersonic flow in a symm...

متن کاملhigher integrability of the gradient in degenerate elliptic equations
We prove that under some global conditions on the maximum and the minimum eigenvalue of the matrix of the coefficients, the gradient of the (weak) solution of some degenerate elliptic equations has higher integrability than expected. Technically we adapt the Giaquinta-Modica regularity method in some degenerate cases. When the dimension is two, a consequence of our result is a new Hölder contin...
