Can the conservative form of the advection equation be re-written by replacing the velocity ...

for $h(y,x)=\nu(y)\partial_y\delta(x-y)$ one has, upon partial integration: $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty u(y,t)h(y,x)\,dy=-\int_{-\infty}^\infty \delta(x-y)\partial_y[\nu(y)u(y,t)]\,dy=-\partial_x [\nu(x) …

Definition of a system being hyperbolic

No, entropy convexity and hyperbolicity are not equivalent conditions. A necessary and sufficient condition for the system of differential equations to possess a strictly convex entropy is that the sy …

Exact solution of two coupled transport equations

Define the vector $X=(y,z)$ and matrices $\sigma_1={{0 1}\choose{1 0}}$, $\sigma_3={{1\; 0}\choose{0\, -1}}$, then the differential equations read $$X_t = -\sigma_3 X_x + \sigma_1 X.$$ No boundary con …

Gauge fixing for a semi-relativistic model involving electromagnetism

You could just try: $A\mapsto A+\nabla \lambda$ leaves the first two equations invariant if I transform $u\mapsto e^{i\lambda}u$ and leave $V$ the same, but then the third equation no longer holds, so …

Writing Euler's equations in a different combination of variables? without explicit appearan...

The construction of adding $p$ as an additional element to the vector $\mathbf u$ only hides it in the vector $\mathbf v$, without actually eliminating it from the Euler equation. This can be easily d …

Focusing and nonfocusing nonlinear terms

The terminology focusing versus defocusing comes from electromagnetic wave propagation in a material with a refractive index $n=\alpha|E|^2$ that depends on the energy density of the electric field (p …

Examples of the time-dependent linear wave equation

If the time dependence of the potentials is periodic in time, then one enters the field of Floquet wave equations, which is a very active field of study with many real-world and even practical applica …
