Compactness for nonlinear continuity equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove compactness and hence existence for solutions to a class of non linear transport equations. The corresponding models combine the features of linear transport equations and scalar conservation laws. We introduce a new method which gives quantitative compactness estimates compatible with both frameworks.


The authors establish the strong compactness of approximate solutions for the scalar conservation laws \(\partial_t n(t,x)+ \mathrm{div}(a(t,x)f(n(t,x)))=0\) equipped with some nonlocal and nonlinear relations between the direction field \(a\) and the density \(n\). As a consequence, they prove the existence of entropy solutions to such equations.
