The criterion is motivated by the classical least action principle but is now applied to initial value problems which exhibit non-unique solutions. Examples are provided for Lagrangian mechanics and the Euler equations of barotropic fluid mechanics. In particular, we show that the least action admissibility principle prefers the classical two shock solution to the Riemann initial value problem to certain solutions generated by convex integration. On the other hand, Dafermos’s entropy criterion prefers convex integration solutions to the two shock solutions. Furthermore, when the pressure is given by <span>(p(rho )=rho ^2)</span>, we show that the two shock solution is always preferred whenever the convex integration solutions are defined for the same initial data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55484,"journal":{"name":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","volume":"249 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The governing system is derived from the theory of nematic liquid crystals, which couples a hyperbolic equation describing the crystal property and a parabolic equation describing the liquid property of the material. The hyperbolic equation is degenerate at the boundaries or spatial infinity, which results in the classical methods for the strictly hyperbolic-parabolic coupled systems being invalid. We introduce admissible weighted function spaces and apply the parametrix method to construct iteration mappings for these two degenerate problems separately. The local existence and uniqueness of classical solutions of the degenerate initial-boundary value and Cauchy problems are established by the contraction mapping principle in their selected function spaces. Moreover, the solutions have no loss of regularity and their existence times are independent of the spatial variable.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55484,"journal":{"name":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","volume":"249 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143513360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
