Scalar conservation laws with vanishing and highly nonlinear diffusive-dispersive terms (Q945586)

Summary: We investigate the initial value problem for a scalar conservation law with highly nonlinear diffusive-dispersive terms \[ u_t + f(u)_x = \varepsilon(u_x^{2l -1})_x - \delta(u_x^{2l -1})_{xx}\quad (l \geq 1). \] In this paper, for a sequence of solutions to the equation with initial data, we give convergence results that a sequence converges to the unique entropy solution to the hyperbolic conservation law. Applying the technique of compensated compactness, the Young measure and the entropy measure-valued solutions as main tools, we establish the convergence property of the sequence. The final step of our proof is to show that the measure-valued mapping associated to the sequence of solutions is reduced to an entropy solution and this step is mainly based on the approach of \textit{P. G. LeFloch} and \textit{R. Natalini} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 36, No.~2, A, 213--230 (1999; Zbl 0923.35159)].
