Abstract
We find an explicit form of entropy solution to a Riemann problem for a degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation with piecewise constant velocity and diffusion coefficients. It is demonstrated that this solution corresponds to the minimum point of some strictly convex function of a finite number of variables. We also discuss the limit when piecewise constant coefficients approximate the arbitrary ones.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations serves as an international forum for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed original papers in the field of mathematics, biology, engineering, physics, and other areas of science. The dynamical issues treated in the journal cover all the classical topics, including attractors, bifurcation theory, connection theory, dichotomies, stability theory and transversality, as well as topics in new and emerging areas of the field.
