N-wave solution of conservation law $u_t + (u - u^2)_x = 0$
How can we compute the "N-wave" source-solution of the conservation law
$$u_t + (u - u^2)_x = 0, $$
that is, the entropy solution of this conservation law with the initial data $u(0,\cdot) = ...

Scaling limit of transport equation with double-well potential
Let us consider the transport PDE
$$
u^\epsilon_t + u^\epsilon_x= -\frac{1}{\epsilon} W'(u^\epsilon)
$$
where $W$ is a double-well potential -- for example, $W(x)=\frac{1}{4}(x^2-1)^2$ so that the PDE ...
