Spectral analysis of a model of the compressible Euler equations (Q2469289)

The author considers the Cauchy problem for the general \(n\times n\) hyperbolic system of conservation laws. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the stabilizing effect of a certain antisymmetry in the Lie algebra structure of the Euler equations in one dimension. The simplest model based on the degenerate quadratic model is constructed for this purpose. The results prove that in the model solutions with arbitrarily large total variation decay when the antisymmetry is accounted for, but decay occurs only when the variation is sufficiently small, when it is not.
