Abstract: The article first studies the propagation of well prepared high frequency waves with small amplitude $eps$ near constant solutions for entropy solutions of multidimensional nonlinear scalar conservation laws. Second, such oscillating solutions are used to highlight a conjecture of Lions, Perthame, Tadmor, (1994), about the maximal regularizing effect for nonlinear conservation laws. For this purpose, a new definition of nonlinear flux is stated and compared to classical definitions. Then it is proved that the smoothness expected in Sobolev spaces cannot be exceeded.

Review text

The author applies supercritical geometric optics to highlight the maximal regularizing effect for multidimensional scalar conservation laws with smooth nonlinear flux vectors. Namely, a sequence of highly oscillating entropy solutions is constructed, which is bounded in the Sobolev spaces \(W^{s,1}_{\mathrm{loc}}\), \(s\leq\alpha\), where \(\alpha\) is the critical exponent, while this sequence is unbounded in \(W^{s,1}_{\mathrm{loc}}\) for all \(s>\alpha\).
