We study the problem of constructing systems of hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension with prescribed eigencurves, i.e. the eigenvector fields of the Jacobian of the flux are given. We formulate this as a typically overdetermined system of equations for the eigenvalues-to-be. Equivalent formulations in terms of differential and algebraic-differential equations are considered. The resulting equations are then analyzed using appropriate integrability theorems (Frobenius, Darboux and Cartan-Kahler). We give a complete analysis of the possible scenarios, including examples, for systems of three equations. As an application we characterize conservative systems with the same eigencurves as the Euler system for 1-dimensional compressible gas dynamics. The case of general rich systems of any size (i.e. when the given eigenvector fields are pairwise in involution; this includes all systems of two equations) is completely resolved and we consider various examples in this class.
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar non-viscous diffusive dispersive conservation laws where the far field states are prescribed. We proved that the solution of the Cauchy problem tends toward the constant state as time goes to infinity.
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case when the viscosity is of non-Newtonian type, including a pseudo-plastic case. When the corresponding Riemann problem for the hyperbolic part admits a Riemann solution which consists of single rarefaction wave, under a condition on nonlinearity of the viscosity, it is proved that the solution of the Cauchy problem tends toward the rarefaction wave as time goes to infinity, without any smallne…
We develop deterministic particle schemes to solve non-local scalar conservation laws with congestion. We show that the discrete approximations converge to the unique entropy solution with an explicit rate of convergence under more general assumptions that the existing literature: the velocity fields are less regular (in particular the interaction force can have a discontinuity at the origin) with no prescribed attractive/repulsive regime and the mobility can have unbounded support. We complement our results with some numerical simulations, among which we show the applicability of the schemes …
The explicit formulation of the general inverse problem on conservation laws is presented for the first time. In this problem one aims to derive the general form of systems of differential equations that admit a prescribed set of conservation laws. The particular cases of the inverse problem on first integrals of ordinary differential equations and on conservation laws for evolution equations are studied. We also solve the inverse problem on conservation laws for differential equations admitting an infinite dimensional space of zeroth-order conservation-law characteristics. This particular cas…
We study nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a differential (n+1)-manifold with boundary referred to as a spacetime, and defined from a prescribed flux field of n-forms depending on a parameter (the unknown variable), a class of equations proposed by LeFloch and Okutmustur in 2008. Our main result is a proof of the convergence of the finite volume method for weak solutions satisfying suitable entropy inequalities. A main difference with previous work is that we allow for slices with a boundary and, in addition, introduce a new formulation of the finite volume method involving the n…
In this paper, we investigate the global structure of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case when the viscous/diffusive flux $σ(v) \sim |\, v \,|^p$ is of non-Newtonian type (i.e., $p>0$), including a pseudo-plastic case (i.e., $p<0$). When the corresponding Riemann problem for the hyperbolic part admits a Riemann solution which consists of single rarefaction wave, under a condition on nonlinearity of the viscosity, it has been recently proved by Matsumura-Yoshida \cite{matsumura-yoshi…
Ambiguity sets of probability distributions are used to hedge against uncertainty about the true probabilities of random quantities of interest (QoIs). When available, these ambiguity sets are constructed from both data (collected at the initial time and along the boundaries of the physical domain) and concentration-of-measure results on the Wasserstein metric. To propagate the ambiguity sets into the future, we use a physics-dependent equation governing the evolution of cumulative distribution functions (CDF) obtained through the method of distributions. This study focuses on the latter step …
