Viscous structure of singular shocks

From MaRDI portal





The author studies the following system of conservation laws in one space dimension: \[ w_t+h(w)_x=0,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^1,\;t>0, \tag{1} \] where \(w\in \mathbb{R}^2\), \(h:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}^2\) is smooth and the eigenvalues of \(h_w(w)\) are real for all \(w\), i. e. the system (1) is strictly hyperbolic. Is proved the existence theorem for the ``viscous profil problem, which is defined for the regularized system \[ w^{\varepsilon}_t+h(w^{\varepsilon})_x - \varepsilon w^{\varepsilon}_{xx} = 0, \tag{2} \] in the space of measures on \(\mathbb{R}\times (0,T)\) (which are not bounded in \(L^{\infty}\) uniformly with respect to \(\varepsilon\)). Using the appropriate approximations \(w^{\varepsilon}\) of solutions of the system (2) the author proves the admisibility of singular shock of solutions to the system (1).
