Conservation Laws for a Class of Third Order Evolutionary Differential Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Conservation laws of third order quasi-linear scalar evolution equations are studied via exterior differential system and characteristic cohomology. We find a subspace of 2-forms in the infinite prolongation space in which every conservation law has a unique representative. Analysis of the structure of this subspace based upon the symbol of the differential equation leads to a universal integrability condition for an evolution equation to admit any higher order (weight) conservation laws. As an example, we give a complete classification of a class of evolution equations which admit conservation laws of the first three consecutive weights −1, 1, 3. The differential system describing the flow of a curve in the plane by the derivative of its curvature with respect to the arc length is also shown to exhibit the KdV property, i.e., an infinite sequence of conservation laws of distinct weights.

The 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 کاملSymmetry group, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation
In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
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 کاملSelf-similar solutions of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation laws
In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem
متن کاملA new total variation diminishing implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws
In this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of TVD (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. This scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. Schemes preserving the essential physical property of TVD are of great importance in practice. Such s...
