In this paper we first briefly review the semi-analytical method [20] for solving the Derivative Riemann Problem for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws with source terms. Next, we generalize it to hyperbolic systems for which the Riemann problem solution is not available. As an application example we implement the new derivative Riemann solver in the high-order finite-volume ADER advection...

Consider a junction with n incoming and m outgoing roads. Along each road, the flow of traffic is described through the continuum model displaying phase transitions introduced in [5]. This note provides a Riemann solver for the resulting Riemann problem at the junction. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L65, 90B10.

We have generalised the exact solution of the Riemann problem in special relativistic hydrodynamics [6] for arbitrary tangential flow velocities. The solution is obtained by solving the jump conditions across shocks plus an ordinary differential equation arising from the self-similarity condition along rarefaction waves, in a similar way as in purely normal flow. The dependence of the solution ...

The aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (PDE) in the electroanalytical chemistry. The space fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the Grunwald- Letnikov discretization of the Ri...

where t>0, o o < x < o o , U(t, x)=(u(t, x), v(t, x)), and the function F(U)= (f(u, v), g(u, v)) is smooth. GLIMM [2] has proved existence of a weak solution provided that the variation of the initial data Uo(x) is small. GLIMM & LAX [3] then improved this result by requiring that the oscillation of Uo(x) be small. SMOLLER [7] has proved the existence of a weak solution provided that Uo(x ) is ...

The inverse scattering problem on half-axis, in other words, in the spherically symmetric case, consists of finding the unknown potential from a suitable class from the scattering data S. The other problem of practical interest is to find this potential from the spectral data dρ(λ). In the literature there are recovery procedures for finding the potential from the spectral or from the scatterin...

This paper studies many fundamental aspects of a newly proposed multi-class traffic flow model. For the first time it presents a complete discussion on the hyperbolicity of the system; and based upon this, the admissible waves of the Riemann problem are deeply investigated. Many important conclusions are made in discussions, and the related physical meanings are interpreted. For the confirmatio...
