Pointwise estimates of solutions for the multi-dimensional scalar conservation laws with relaxation (Q2275857)

The authors study the global existence and point-wise convergence of the multi-dimensional scalar conservation law \[ u_t+\sum_{i=1}^nf_i(u)_{x_i}=0 \] with relaxation \[ u_t+\sum_{i=1}^nv_{ix_i}=0, \] \[ v_{it}+a_iu_{x_i}=-\tfrac{1}{\varepsilon}(v_l-f_i(u)), \quad 1\leq i\leq n, \] where \(x=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n)\) represents the space variable, \(f_i:\mathbb R\rightarrow \mathbb R\) are smooth functions, \(a_i\) \((1\leq i\leq n)\) are positive constants and \(\epsilon\) is a positive constant representing the rate of relaxation. Green's function for the Cauchy problem of the relaxation system is constructed. Based on an estimate for this Green's function, the authors obtain a point-wise estimate for the solution.
