On locally bounded solutions of the Cauchy problem for a first-order quasilinear equation with power flux function (Q1991789)

The author studies locally bounded generalized entropy solutions of the scalar conservation law $u_t+\frac{1}{\alpha}(|u|^{\alpha-1}u)_x=0$ with $\alpha>1$. She constructs the special solution of the Cauchy problem for this equation with the exponential initial data $u(0,x)=\exp(-x/(\alpha-1))$. This solution admits the representation $u=t^{-1/(\alpha-1)}v(x-\ln t)$, where $v(\xi)\in L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$. Moreover, the author constructs a nontrivial generalized entropy solutions of the above kind $u=t^{-1/(\alpha-1)}v(x-\ln t)$ to the equation under consideration with zero initial data.
