Where was/is Compensated Compactness used?
This last summer, I read up on Tartar's so called Method of Compensated Compactness (or at least how it applied to scalar conservation laws). I used this theory to prove the existence of $L^{\infty}$ ...

Decay rate for a small perturbation of a simple linear ODE
MOTIVATION.
Let $f:[0,+\infty)\to \mathbb{R}$.
Solutions to $\partial_tf(t) = -\lambda f(t)$, $f(0)\neq 0$ approach zero exactly as $e^{-\lambda t}$.
This property is preserved if we apply an ...
