We construct global smooth approximate solution to a scalar conservation law with arbitrary smooth monotonic initial data. Different kinds of singularities interactions which arise during the evolution of the initial data are described as well. In order to solve the problem, we use and further develop the weak asymptotic method, recently introduced technique for investigating nonlinear waves interactions.

We prove the stability with respect to the flux of solutions to initial – boundary value problems for scalar non autonomous conservation laws in one space dimension. Key estimates are obtained through a careful construction of the solutions.

This paper is devoted to the coupling problem of two scalar conservation laws through a fixed interface located for instance at x = 0. Each scalar conservation law is associated with its own (smooth) flux function and is posed on a half-space, namely x < 0 or x > 0. At interface x = 0 we impose a coupling condition whose objective is to enforce in a weak sense the continuity of a prescribed variable, which may differ from the conservative unknown (and the flux functions as well). We prove the existence of a solution to the coupled Riemann problem using a constructive approach. The latter allows in particular to highlight interesting features like non-uniqueness of both continuous and discontinuous (at interface x = 0) solutions. The behavior of some numerical scheme is also investigated.

In the half-space t > 0 a multidimensional scalar conservation law with only continuous flux vector is considered. For the wide class of functions including generalized entropy sub- and super-solutions to this equation, we prove existence of the strong trace on the initial hyperspace t = 0. No nondegeneracy conditions on the flux are required.

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a forced scalar conservation law, where both the forcing and the initial data are periodic. We prove that there exists a steady state toward which the solution converges in the L1 norm, as t → ∞. We do not assume any smallness or smoothness of the initial data. The limit steady state can be discontinuous, as effect of resonance, and it can be identified when the potential of the forcing term has a unique global minimum, thanks to the conservation of mass. The flux is assumed to be strictly convex; the relevance of this assumption is justified by the construction of solutions with a lattice of periods for a flux with an inflection point.

We consider scalar conservation laws in one space dimension with convex flux and we establish a new structure theorem for entropy solutions by identifying certain shock regions of interest, each of them representing a single shock wave at infinity. Using this theorem, we construct a smooth initial data with compact support for which the solution exhibits infinitely many shock waves asymptotically in time. Our proof relies on Lax–Oleinik explicit formula and the notion of generalized characteristics introduced by Dafermos.

We consider a Dirichlet-Neumann boundary problem in a bounded domain for scalar conservation laws. We construct an approximate solution to the problem via an elliptic approximation for which, under appropriate assumptions, we prove that the corresponding limit satisfies the considered equation in the interior of the domain. The basic tool is the compensated compactness method. We also provide numerical examples.
