We establish instability of periodic traveling waves arising in conservation laws featuring phase transition. The analysis uses the Evans function framework introduced by R.A. Gardner in the periodic case. The main new tool is a periodic generalization of the stability index introduced by Gardner and Zumbrun in the traveling front or pulse case.
We establish one-dimensional spectral stability of small amplitude viscous and relaxation shock profiles using Evans function techniques to perform a series of reductions and normal forms to reduce to the case of the scalar Burgers equation. In multidimensions, the canonical behavior is described, rather by a 2x2 viscous conservation law; this case will be treated in a companion paper by similar techniques.
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…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions toward a multiwave pattern of the Cauchy problem for the scalar viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case when the flux function is convex or concave but linearly degenerate on some interval, and also the viscosity is a nonlinearly degenerate one (p-Laplacian type viscosity). When the corresponding Riemann problem admits a Riemann solution which consists of rarefaction waves and contact discontinuity, it is proved that the solution of the Cauchy problem tends toward th…
In this paper we introduce a concept of "regulated function" $v(t,x)$ of two variables, which reduces to the classical definition when $v$ is independent of $t$. We then consider a scalar conservation law of the form $u_t+F(v(t,x),u)_x=0$, where $F$ is smooth and $v$ is a regulated function, possibly discontinuous w.r.t.both $t$ and $x$. By adding a small viscosity, one obtains a well posed parabolic equation. As the viscous term goes to zero, the uniqueness of the vanishing viscosity limit is proved, relying on comparison estimates for solutions to the corresponding Hamilton--Jacobi equation.…
We are concerned with a control problem related to the vanishing \emph{fractional} viscosity approximation to scalar conservation laws. We investigate the $Γ$-convergence of the control cost functional, as the viscosity coefficient tends to zero.
In this paper, we study the decay rate in time to solutions of the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional viscous conservation law where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case that the flux function which is convex and also the viscosity is a nonlinearly degenerate one (p-Laplacian type viscosity). As the corresponding Riemann problem admits a Riemann solution as the constant state or the single rarefaction wave, it has already been proved by Matsumura-Nishihara that the solution to the Cauchy problem tends toward the constant state or the single rarefaction wav…
In this paper we study a non strictly system of conservation law when viscosity is present and viscosity is zero, which is studied in [10]. We show the existence and uniqueness of the solution in the space of generalized functions of Colombeau for the viscous problem and construct a solution to the inviscid system in the sense of association. Also we construct a solution using shadow wave approach [5] and Volpert product which was partly determined as vanishing viscosity limit in [10].
In this paper, we investigate large amplitude solutions to a system of conservation laws which is transformed, by a change of variable, from the well-known Keller-Segel model describing cell (bacteria) movement toward the concentration gradient of the chemical that is consumed by the cells. For the Cauchy problem and initial-boundary value problem, the global unique solvability is proved based on the energy method. In particular, our main purpose is to investigate the convergence rates as the diffusion parameter $ε$ goes to zero. It is shown that the convergence rates in $L^\infty$-norm are of…
In this paper we investigate spectral stability of traveling wave solutions to 1-$D$ quantum hydrodynamics system with nonlinear viscosity in the $(ρ,u)$, that is, density and velocity, variables. We derive a sufficient condition for the stability of the essential spectrum and we estimate the maximum modulus of eigenvalues with non-negative real part. In addition, we present numerical computations of the Evans function in sufficiently large domain of the unstable half-plane and show numerically that its winding number is (approximately) zero, thus giving a numerical evidence of point spectrum …

We are concerned with multidimensional stochastic balance laws driven by Lévy processes. Using bounded variation (BV) estimates for vanishing viscosity approximations, we derive an explicit continuous dependence estimate on the nonlinearities of the entropy solutions under the assumption that Lévy noise only depends on the solution. This result is used to show the error estimate for the stochastic vanishing viscosity method. In addition, we establish fractional $BV$ estimate for vanishing viscosity approximations in case the noise coefficient depends on both the solution and spatial variable.
We study a nonlocal regularisation of a scalar conservation law given by a fractional derivative of order between one and two. The nonlocal operator is of Riesz-Feller type with skewness two minus its order. This equation describes the internal structure of hydraulic jumps in a shallow water model. The main purpose of the paper is the study of the vanishing viscosity limit of the Cauchy problem for this equation. First, we study the properties of the solution of the regularised problem and then we show that solutions converge to the entropy solution of the scalar conservation law in this limit…
In this paper, we study the precise decay rate in time to solutions of the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional conservation law with a nonlinearly degenerate viscosity where the far field states are prescribed. Especially, we deal with the case when the flux function is convex or concave but linearly degenerate on some interval. As the corresponding Riemann problem admits a Riemann solution as a multiwave pattern which consists of the rarefaction waves and the contact discontinuity, it has already been proved by Yoshida that the solution to the Cauchy problem tends toward the linear combina…
For any open set $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$ and $n\ge 2$, we establish everywhere differentiability of viscosity solutions to the Aronsson equation $$ <D_x(H(x, Du)), D_p H(x, Du)>=0 \quad \rm in\ \ Ω, $$ where $H$ is given by $$H(x,\,p)=<A(x)p,p>=\sum_{i,\,j=1}^na^{ij}(x)p_i p_j,\ x\inΩ, \ p\in\mathbb R^n, $$ and $A=(a^{ij}(x))\in C^{1,1}(\barΩ,\mathbb R^{n\times n})$ is uniformly elliptic. This extends an earlier theorem by Evans and Smart \cite{es11a} on infinity harmonic functions.

In this paper we study existence and stability of shock profiles for a 1-D compressible Euler system in the context of Quantum Hydrodynamic models. The dispersive term is originated by the quantum effects described through the Bohm potential; moreover we introduce a (linear) viscosity to analyze its interplay with the former while proving existence, monotonicity and stability of travelling waves connecting a Lax shock for the underlying Euler system. The existence of monotone profiles is proved for sufficiently small shocks; while the case of large shocks leads to the (global) existence for an…
We present a quantitative compensated compactness estimate for stochastic conservation laws, which generalises a previous result of Golse & Perthame (2013) for deterministic equations. With a stochastic modification of Kruzkov's interpolation lemma, this estimate provides bounds on the rate at which a sequence of vanishing viscosity solutions becomes compact. This contribution is for the Proceedings of HYP2022.
Aim of this paper is to review some basic ideas and recent developments in the theory of strictly hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. The main focus will be on the uniqueness and stability of entropy weak solutions and on the convergence of vanishing viscosity approximations.
For a general class of hyperbolic-parabolic systems including the compressible Navier-Stokes and compressible MHD equations, we prove existence and stability of noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers for a variety of boundary conditions including classical Navier-Stokes boundary conditions. Our first main result, using the abstract framework established by the authors in the companion work \cite{GMWZ6}, is to show that existence and stability of arbitrary amplitude exact boundary-layer solutions follow from a uniform spectral stability condition on layer profiles that is expressible in term…
We are concerned with a control problem related to the vanishing viscosity approximation to scalar conservation laws. We investigate the $Γ$-convergence of the control cost functional, as the viscosity coefficient tends to zero. A first order $Γ$-limit is established, which characterizes the measure-valued solutions to the conservation laws as the zeros of the $Γ$-limit. A second order $Γ$-limit is then investigated, providing a characterization of entropic solutions to conservation laws as the zeros of the $Γ$-limit.
We prove the well-posedness of entropy weak solutions for a class of space-discontinuous scalar conservation laws with non-local flux arising in traffic modeling. We approximate the problem adding a viscosity term and we provide $L^\infty$ and BV estimates for the approximate solutions. We use the doubling of variable technique to prove the stability with respect to the initial data from the entropy condition.
We provide an informal overview of recent developments concerning the singular local limit of nonlocal conservation laws. In particular, we discuss some counterexamples to convergence and we highlight the role of numerical viscosity in the numerical investigation of the nonlocal-to-local limit. We also state some open questions and describe recent related progress.
We propose new entropy admissibility conditions for multidimensional hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux which generalize one-dimensional Karlsen-Risebro-Towers entropy conditions. These new conditions are designed, in particular, in order to characterize the limit of vanishing viscosity approximations. On the one hand, they comply quite naturally with a certain class of physical and numerical modeling assumptions; on the other hand, their mathematical assessment turns out to be intricate. \smallskip The generalization we propose is not only with respect to the space di…
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…
We establish the well-posedness of the Neumann problem for stochastic conservation laws with multiplicative noise. As a major step for establishing the uniqueness of the kinetic solution to the referred problem we establish the new strong trace property for stochastic conservation laws. Existence of kinetic solutions is proved through the vanishing viscosity method and the detailed analysis of the corresponding stochastic parabolic problem is also made here for the first time, as far as the authors know.
In this article, we explore some of the main mathematical problems connected to multidimensional fractional conservation laws driven by Lévy processes. Making use of an adapted entropy formulation, a result of existence and uniqueness of a solution is established. Moreover, using bounded variation (BV) estimates for vanishing viscosity approximations, we derive an explicit continuous dependence estimate on the nonlinearities of the entropy solutions under the assumption that Lévy noise depends only on the solution. This result is used to show the error estimate for the stochastic vanishing vis…
In this work we introduce the obstacle-mass constraint problem for a multidimensional scalar hyperbolic conservation law. We prove existence of an entropy solution to this problem by a penalization/viscosity method. The mass constraint introduces a nonlocal Lagrange multiplier in the penalized equation, giving rise to a nonlocal parabolic problem. We determine conditions on the initial data and on the obstacle function which ensure global in time existence of solution. These are not smoothness conditions, but relate to the propagation of the support of the initial data.
We study by a combination of numerical and analytical Evans function techniques the stability of solitary wave solutions of the St. Venant equations for viscous shallow-water flow down an incline, and related models. Our main result is to exhibit examples of metastable solitary waves for the St. Venant equations, with stable point spectrum indicating coherence of the wave profile but unstable essential spectrum indicating oscillatory convective instabilities shed in its wake. We propose a mechanism based on ``dynamic spectrum'' of the wave profile, by which a wave train of solitary pulses can …
Let $H$ be a bounded and Lipschitz continuous function. We consider discontinuous viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $U_{t}+H(U_x)=0$ and signed Radon measure valued entropy solutions of the conservation law $u_{t}+[H(u)]_x=0$. After having proved a precise statement of the formal relation $U_x=u$, we establish estimates for the (strictly positive!) times at which singularities of the solutions disappear. Here singularities are jump discontinuities in case of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and signed singular measures in case of the conservation law.
We consider multidimensional conservation laws perturbed by multiplicative Lévy noise. We establish existence and uniqueness results for entropy solutions. The entropy inequalities are formally obtained by the Itô-Lévy chain rule. The multidimensionality requires a generalized interpretation of the entropy inequalities to accommodate Young measure-valued solutions. We first establish the existence of entropy solutions in the generalized sense via the vanishing viscosity method, and then establish the $L^1$-contraction principle. Finally, the $L^1$ contraction principle is used to argue that th…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear fractional conservation laws driven by a multiplicative noise. In particular, we are concerned with the well-posedness theory and the study of the long-time behavior of solutions for such equations. We show the existence of desired kinetic solution by using the vanishing viscosity method. In fact, we establish strong convergence of the approximate viscous solutions to a kinetic solution. Moreover, under a nonlinearity-diffusivity condition, we prove the existence of an invariant measure using the well-known Krylov-Bogoliubov theor…
In this paper we show existence of a trace for functions of bounded variation on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. The trace, which is bounded in $L^\infty$, is reached via $L^1$-convergence and allows an integration by parts formula. We apply these results in order to show well-posedness and total variation estimates for the initial boundary value problem for a scalar conservation law on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary in the context of functions of bounded variation via the vanishing viscosity method. The flux function is assumed to be time-dependent and divergence-free.
Extending to systems of hyperbolic--parabolic conservation laws results of Howard and Zumbrun for strictly parabolic systems, we show for viscous shock profiles of arbitrary amplitude and type that necessary spectral (Evans function) conditions for linearized stability established by Mascia and Zumbrun are also sufficient for linearized and nonlinear phase-asymptotic stability, yielding detailed pointwise estimates and sharp rates of convergence in $L^p$, $1\le p\le \infty$.
The Oleinik inequality for conservation laws and Aronson-Benilan type inequalities for porous medium or p-Laplacian equations are one-sided inequalities that provide the fundamental features of the solution such as the uniqueness and sharp regularity. In this paper such one-sided inequalities are unified and generalized for a wide class of first and second order equations in the form of $$ u_t=σ(t,u,u_x,u_{xx}),\quad u(x,0)=u^0(x)\ge0,\quad t>0,\,x\in\bfR, $$ where the non-strict parabolicity ${\partial\over\partial q} σ(t,z,p,q)\ge0$ is assumed. The generalization or unification of one-sided …
Under natural spectral stability assumptions motivated by previous investigations of the associated spectral stability problem, we determine sharp $L^p$ estimates on the linearized solution operator about a multidimensional planar periodic wave of a system of conservation laws with viscosity, yielding linearized $L^1\cap L^p\to L^p$ stability for all $p \ge 2$ and dimensions $d \ge 1$ and nonlinear $L^1\cap H^s\to L^p\cap H^s$ stability and $L^2$-asymptotic behavior for $p\ge 2$ and $d\ge 3$. The behavior can in general be rather complicated, involving both convective (i.e., wave-like) and dif…
We investigate a class of scalar conservation laws on manifolds driven by multiplicative Gaussian (Ito) noise. The Cauchy problem defined on a Riemannian manifold is shown to be well-posed. We prove existence of generalized kinetic solutions using the vanishing viscosity method. A rigidity result is derived, which implies that generalized solutions are kinetic solutions and that kinetic solutions are uniquely determined by their initial data ($L^1$ contraction principle). Deprived of noise, the equations we consider coincide with those analyzed by Ben-Artzi and LeFloch (2007), who worked with …
We give a full characterization of the range of the operator which associates, to any initial condition, the viscosity solution at time $T$ of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with convex Hamiltonian. Our main motivation is to be able to treat the case of convex Hamiltonians with no further regularity assumptions. We give special attention to the case $H(p) = |p|$, for which we provide a rather geometrical description of the range of the viscosity operator by means of an interior ball condition on the sublevel sets. From our characterization of the reachable set, we are able to deduce further result…
We consider the asymptotic behavior of perturbations of Lax and overcompressive type viscous shock profiles arising in systems of regularized conservation laws with strictly parabolic viscosity, and also in systems of conservation laws with partially parabolic regularizations such as arise in the case of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations and in the equations of magnetohydrodynamics. Under the necessary conditions of spectral and hyperbolic stability, together with transversality of the connecting profile, we establish detailed pointwise estimates on perturbations from a sum of the visc…
This paper deals with a hyperbolic system of two nonlinear conservation laws, where the phase space contains two contact manifolds. The governing equations are modelling bidisperse suspensions, which consist of two types of small particles that are dispersed in a viscous fluid and differ in size and viscosity. For certain parameter choices quasi-umbilic points and a contact manifold in the interior of the phase space are detected. The dependance of the solutions structure on this contact manifold is examined. The elementary waves that start in the origin of the phase space are classified. Prot…
