CONVERGENCE OF A RELAXATION APPROXIMATION TO A BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR CONSERVATION LAWS

From MaRDI portal





The authors investigate a hyperbolic relaxation approximation to the scalar conservation law \[ \partial_t u+\partial_x f(u)=0, \] for \((x,t)\in {\mathbb R}^+\times (0,T)\), with initial and boundary conditions. The approximation is given by the following system with a singular perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon>0\): \[ \partial_t u_1+\lambda_1\partial_x u_1={1\over\varepsilon}(M_1(u)-u_1), \quad \partial_t u_2+\lambda_2\partial_x u_2={1\over\varepsilon}(M_2(u)-u_2), \] where \(u=u_1+u_2\), \(M_1(u)={\lambda_2 u-f(u)\over\lambda_2-\lambda_1}\), \(M_2(u)={\lambda_1 u-f(u)\over\lambda_1-\lambda_2}\), and the stability condition \(\lambda_1\leq f'(u)\leq \lambda_2\) is satisfied for \(u\) varying in some fixed interval. The initial and boundary functions for the relaxed system are taken by applying functions \(M_i\), \(i=1,2\) to the corresponding initial and boundary data for the original scalar problem. The authors prove convergence of the sequence of approximate solutions \(u^\varepsilon=u^\varepsilon_1+u^\varepsilon_2\) to the entropy solution of the scalar problem, as the relaxation parameter \(\varepsilon\to 0\).
