The paper discusses systems of conservation laws endowed with involutions and contingent entropies. Under the assumption that the contingent entropy function is convex merely in the direction of a cone in state space, associated with the involution, it is shown that the Cauchy problem is locally well posed in the class of classical solutions, and that classical solutions are unique and stable even within the broader class of weak solutions that satisfy an entropy inequality. This is on a par with the classical theory of solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws endowed with a convex entropy. The equations of elastodynamics provide the prototypical example for the above setting.

In this paper, we study the local exact boundary controllability of entropy solutions to linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with characteristics of constant multiplicity. We prove the two-sided boundary controllability, the one-sided boundary controllability and the two-sided boundary controllability with fewer controls, by applying the strategy used in [T. Li and L. Yu, J. Math. Pures et Appl. 107 (2017) 1–40; L. Yu, Chinese Ann. Math., Ser. B (To appear)]. Our constructive method is based on the well-posedness of semi-global solutions constructed by the limit of ε-approximate front tracking solutions to the mixed initial-boundary value problem with general nonlinear boundary conditions, and on some further properties of both ε-approximate front tracking solutions and limit solutions.

We study the Cauchy problem for a conservation law with space discontinuous flux of generalized Audusse–Perthame form. It is shown that, after a change of unknown function, entropy solutions in the sense of Audusse–Perthame correspond to Kruzhkov's generalized entropy solutions for the transformed equation. This observation allows to use the Kruzhkov method of doubling variable (instead of rather complicated variant of this method invented by Audusse and Perthame). Applying this method for measure-valued solutions, we establish the uniqueness and the existence of entropy solutions to the problem under consideration.

We study the Cauchy problem for a multidimensional scalar conservation law with merely continuous flux vector in the class of Besicovitch almost periodic functions. The existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions are established. We also uncover the necessary and sufficient condition for the decay of almost periodic entropy solutions as the time variable [Formula: see text]. Our results are then interpreted in the framework of conservation laws on the Bohr compact.
