Definitions of weak solutions for quasilinear wave equations
I am learning the shock problem for the balance system (perhaps not conserved, see, e.g., "Ingo Muller, Tommaso Ruggeri. Rational Extended Thermodynamics") and just have a question on the ...

Conservation law for generic linear hyperbolic PDEs?
Consider the wave equation:
$$
u_{tt} = \Delta u, \text{ on }U\times [0,T], u=0\text{ on }\partial U\times[0,T].
$$
To prove the only solution for the zero initial condition is zero, we only need to ...

What does it mean by "converges boundedly"?
On page 92 of the book Hyperbolic Conservation Laws in Continuum Physics by C. M. Dafermos, there is a theorem 4.6.1 which says
Under some assumptions, suppose a sequence of solutions $U_{\mu_k}$ to ...

Assumptions on the flux of a conservation law required to obtain an entropy inequality
On page 87 of the book Hyperbolic Conservation Laws in Continuum Physics by C. M. Dafermos, there is a theorem which I summarise as follows
Theorem. (Theorem 4.5.2 in the book.) Let $U$ be a weak ...

Front tracking approximations and existence of solutions to conservation law PDEs
This question is about page 38-42 of these notes on censervation laws, more precisely PDEs of the form $u_t + [f(u)]_x =0.$ In this section of the note, the author provides a proof of the existence of ...

Banach space-valued test functions in the definition of a weak solution of a PDE problem
In the literature about PDEs it is easy to find books that talk about weak solutions of a partial differential equations. A short reminder of the usual definition is given bellow. More information ...

Comparing weak and strong solutions of a PDE problems
A few days ago I was reading the paper:
"Relative entropies, suitable weak solutions, and weak-strong uniqueness for the compressible Navier-Stokes system" - Feireisl, Jin, Novotny, 2012 [Arxiv].

Transformation from the PDE problem with a source to the PDE problem without it and viceversa
In the study of nonlinear conservation laws a lot of time I work on the two problems given bellow:
$$(1) \hspace{1cm} \begin{cases}
u_t+(f_{1}(u))_x=\lambda \cdot g(u) \\[2ex]
u(x,0)=h_{1}(x)
\...

Reference request for a paper with Vanishing viscosity method and smooth approximation of initial data
I am trying to find the papers/books/notes that study problem (1),(3) given bellow using the vanishing viscosity method. I am especially interested in solutions in Sobolev spaces.
More detailed ...
