Abstract
We study the initial value problem and the initial boundary value problem for nonlocal conservation laws. The nonlocal term is realized via a spatial integration of the solution between specified boundaries and affects the flux function of a given “local” conservation law in a multiplicative way. For a strictly convex flux function and strictly positive nonlocal impact we prove existence and uniqueness of weak entropy solutions relying on a fixed-point argument for the nonlocal term and an explicit Lax–Hopf-type solution formula for the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equation. Using the developed theory for HJ equations, we obtain a semi-explicit Lax–Hopf-type formula for the solution of the corresponding nonlocal HJ equation and a semi-explicit Lax–Oleinik-type formula for the nonlocal conservation law.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes original research papers on nonlinear hyperbolic problems and related topics, of mathematical and/or physical interest. Specifically, it invites papers on the theory and numerical analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws and of hyperbolic partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics. The Journal welcomes contributions in:
Theory of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, addressing the issues of well-posedness and qualitative behavior of solutions, in one or several space dimensions.
Hyperbolic differential equations of mathematical physics, such as the Einstein equations of general relativity, Dirac equations, Maxwell equations, relativistic fluid models, etc.
Lorentzian geometry, particularly global geometric and causal theoretic aspects of spacetimes satisfying the Einstein equations.
Nonlinear hyperbolic systems arising in continuum physics such as: hyperbolic models of fluid dynamics, mixed models of transonic flows, etc.
General problems that are dominated (but not exclusively driven) by finite speed phenomena, such as dissipative and dispersive perturbations of hyperbolic systems, and models from statistical mechanics and other probabilistic models relevant to the derivation of fluid dynamical equations.
Convergence analysis of numerical methods for hyperbolic equations: finite difference schemes, finite volumes schemes, etc.
