On the well posedness of a system of balance laws with \(L^\infty\) data (Q1962595): Difference between revisions

The main result of this paper is that, for \(f\in C^2\) with \(f''>0\), \(g\in C'\) with \(g'\) bounded, \(\overline u\in L'\cap L^\infty\), \(\overline\theta\in C^0\), the Cauchy problem \[ \begin{cases} u_t+ f(u)_x= g(u),\quad & u(0,\cdot)=\overline u,\\ \theta_t+ h(u)\theta_t= 0,\quad & \theta(0,\cdot)= \overline\theta\end{cases}\tag{1} \] is well-posed provided that the system (1) is strictly hyperbolic.
