Regularity in kinetic formulations via averaging lemmas
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new class of averaging lemmas directly motivated by the question of regularity for different nonlinear equations or variational problems which admit a kinetic formulation. In particular they improve the known regularity for systems like γ = 3 in isentropic gas dynamics or in some variational problems arising in thin micromagnetic films. They also allow to obtain directly the best known regularizing effect in multidimensional scalar conservation laws. The new ingredient here is to use velocity regularity for the solution to the transport equation under consideration. The method of proof is based on a decomposition of the density in Fourier space, combined with the K-method of real interpolation.

Averaging Lemmas and Dispersion Estimates for kinetic equations
Averaging lemmas consist in a regularizing effect on the average of the solution to a linear kinetic equation. Some of the main results are reviewed and their proofs presented in as self contained a way as possible. The use of kinetic formulations for the well posedness of scalar conservation laws is eventually explained as an example of application.
متن کاملCompactness in Ginzburg-Landau Energy by Kinetic Averaging
We consider a Ginzburg-Landau energy for two dimensional divergence free fields appearing in the gradient theory of phase transition for instance. We prove that, as the relaxation parameter vanishes, families of such fields with finite energy are compact in L p(). Our proof is based on a kinetic interpretation of the entropies which were introduced by Desimone, Kohn, Müller and Otto. The so-ca...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 8 Averaging lemmas with a force term in the transport equation
We obtain several averaging lemmas for transport operator with a force term. These lemmas improve the regularity yet known by not considering the force term as part of an arbitrary right-hand side. We compare the obtained regularities according to the space and velocity variables. Our results are mainly in L 2 , and for constant force, in L p for 1 < p ≤ 2. Keywords: averaging lemma – force ter...
متن کاملVelocity Averaging, Kinetic Formulations, and Regularizing Effects in Quasi-Linear PDEs
We prove in this paper new velocity-averaging results for second-order multidimensional equations of the general form L(∇x , v) f (x, v) = g(x, v) where L(∇x , v) := a(v) · ∇x −∇ x · b(v)∇x . These results quantify the Sobolev regularity of the averages, ∫ v f (x, v)φ(v)dv, in terms of the nondegeneracy of the set {v : |L(iξ, v)| ≤ δ} and the mere integrability of the data, ( f, g) ∈ (L p x,v, ...
متن کاملKinetic Semidiscretization of Scalar Conservation Laws and Convergence by Using Averaging Lemmas∗
We consider a time discrete kinetic scheme (known as “transport collapse method”) for the inviscid Burgers equation ∂tu+ ∂x u 2 = 0. We prove the convergence of the scheme by using averaging lemmas without bounded variation estimate. Then, the extension of this result to the kinetic model of Brenier and Corrias is discussed.
