Discontinuous generalized solutions of nonlinear nonconservative hyperbolic equations

From MaRDI portal





The non-conservative system \[ u_ t-uu_ x=\sigma_ x;\quad \sigma_ t+u\sigma_ x=k^ 2u_ x \] is studied as a model equation. A numerical scheme is set up for the system and convergence of the solution with refined discretization is proved by a compactness argument, the limit u, \(\sigma\) being functions of bounded variation. By using the theory of generalized functions as developed by \textit{J. F. Colombeau} [New generalized functions and multiplication of distributions (1984; Zbl 0532.46019)] it is discussed in what sense u, \(\sigma\) may be regarded as solutions of the model system. The results of the paper have been announced [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 302, No.1, 435-437 (1986; Zbl 0598.35067)].
