Global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with linearly degenerate characteristic fields (Q876873): Difference between revisions

The authors study the global existence and the asymptotic behavior of classical solutions of the Cauchy problem for quasilinear hyperbolic system \(\partial_t u +A(u)\partial_x u=0\) under the assumption that it is hyperbolic with constant multiple characteristic fields. They prove that the global \(C^1\)-solution exists uniquely if the BV-norm of the initial datum is sufficiently small. Moreover, when time \(t\) tends to infinity, this solution approaches a combination of \(C^1\)-traveling wave solutions.
