For hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, uniqueness of solutions is still largely open. We aim to expand the theory of uniqueness for systems of conservation laws. One difficulty is that many systems have only one entropy. This contrasts with scalar conservation laws, where many entropies exist. It took until 1994 to show that one entropy is enough to ensure uniqueness of solutions for the scalar conservation laws (see [E. Yu. Panov, Uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a first order quasilinear equation with one admissible strictly convex entropy, Mat. Z. 55(5) (1994) 116–129 (in Russian), Math. Notes 55(5) (1994) 517–525]. This single entropy result was proven again by De Lellis, Otto and Westdickenberg about 10 years later [Minimal entropy conditions for Burgers equation, Quart. Appl. Math. 62(4) (2004) 687–700]. These two proofs both rely on the special connection between Hamilton–Jacobi equations and scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. However, this special connection does not extend to systems. In this paper, we prove the single entropy result for scalar conservation laws without using Hamilton–Jacobi. Our proof lays out new techniques that are promising for showing uniqueness of solutions in the systems case.

AbstractWe study the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) approximation to first-order scalar conservation laws with a flux which is discontinuous in the space variable. We show that the Cauchy problem for the BGK approximation is well posed and that, as the relaxation parameter tends to 0, it converges to the (entropy) solution of the limit problem.

Scalar Conservation

We investigate a class of scalar conservation laws on manifolds driven by multiplicative Gaussian (Itô) noise. The Cauchy problem defined on a Riemanian manifold is shown to be well-posed. We prove existence of generalized kinetic solutions using the vanishing viscosity method. A rigidity result àla Perthame is derived, which implies that generalized solutions are kinetic solutions and that kinetic solutions are uniquely determined by their initial data ([Formula: see text] contraction principle). Deprived of noise, the equations we consider coincide with those analyzed by Ben-Artzi and LeFloch [Well-posedness theory for geometry-compatible hyperbolic conservation laws on manifolds, Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire 24(6) (2007) 989–1008], who worked with Kružkov–DiPerna solutions. In the Euclidian case, the stochastic equations agree with those examined by Debussche and Vovelle [Scalar conservation laws with stochastic forcing, J. Funct. Anal. 259(4) (2010) 1014–1042].

The One

We consider the Cauchy problem for a class of scalar conservation laws with flux having a single inflection point. We prove existence of global weak solutions satisfying a single entropy inequality together with a kinetic relation, in a class of bounded variation functions. The kinetic relation is obtained by the travelling-wave criterion for a regularization consisting of balanced diffusive and dispersive terms. The result is applied to the one-dimensional Buckley-Leverett equation.

We extend Brenier’s transport collapse scheme on the Cauchy problem for heterogeneous scalar conservation laws i.e. for the conservation laws with spacetime-dependent coefficients. The method is based on averaging out the solution to the corresponding kinetic equation, and it necessarily converges toward the entropy admissible solution. We also provide numerical examples.

Let Ω⊂ℝ2 be an open set and f∈C2(ℝ) with f" > 0. In this note we prove that entropy solutions of Dtu+Dxf(u) = 0 belong to SBV loc (Ω). As a corollary we prove the same property for gradients of viscosity solutions of planar Hamilton–Jacobi PDEs with uniformly convex Hamiltonians.
