Abstract
A Riemann problem for the conservation law \(u_{t}+[\phi (u)]_{x}=kH(x-vt)\), where x, t, k, v and \(u=u(x,t)\) are real numbers, is studied with the goal of getting singular solutions in a convenient space of distributions that contains delta shock waves. Here \(\phi \) stands for an entire function taking real values on the real axis and H represents the Heaviside function. When u is seen as a density of matter some surprises may appear such as the creation of matter from a vacuum state. In a particular case, as the time goes on, such a matter grows continuously, running away from any spatial bounded region, what can be viewed as a unidimensional model of universe.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
