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.

The Cauchy Problem

SynopsisIn this paper, the existence of global smooth solutions and the formation of singularities of solutions for strictly hyperbolic systems with general eigenvalues are discussed for the Cauchy problem with essentially periodic small initial data or nonperiodic initial data. A result of Klainerman and Majda is thus extended to the general case.

Characteristic Initial Value Problem

A method is described by means of which the characteristic initial value problem can be reduced to the Cauchy problem and examples are given of how it can be used in practice. As an application it is shown that the characteristic initial value problem for the Einstein equations in vacuum or with perfect fluid source is well posed when data are given on two transversely intersecting null hypersurfaces. A new discussion is given of the freely specifiable data for this problem.

We study differential operators of order 2 and establish new energy estimates which ensure that the micro supports of solutions to the Cauchy problem propagate with finite speed. We then study the Cauchy problem for non-effectively hyperbolic operators with no null bicharacteristic tangent to the doubly characteristic set and with zero positive trace. By checking the energy estimates, we ensure the propagation with finite speed of the micro supports of solutions, and we prove that the Cauchy problem for such non-effectively hyperbolic operators is C∞ well-posed if and only if the Levi condition holds.
