On the regularity of weak solutions to Burgers' equation with finite entropy production (Q1656478)

The authors study weak solutions \(u=u(t,x)\) to Burgers' equation \(\partial_t u+\partial_x(u^2/2)=0\) with the finite entropy production measure \(\mu=\partial_t(u^2/2)+\partial_x(u^3/3)\). The authors prove that the set of non-Lebesgue points of \(u\) has Hausdorff dimension at most one. Moreover, this solution was shown to be Hölder continuous on the set of points where \(\mu\) has finite \((1+\alpha)\)-dimensional upper density for some \(\alpha>0\). For the proof, the authors demonstrate that \(L^1\)-distance from \(u\) to the set of entropy solutions vanishes as \(\mu_+\to 0\).
