Systems of Conservation Laws 2: Geometric Structures, Oscillations, and Initial-Boundary Value Problems

by Denis Serre

Book Overview

Systems of conservation laws arise naturally in physics and chemistry. Continuing where the previous volume left off, the author considers the maximum principle from the viewpoints of both viscous approximation and numerical schemes. Convergence is studied through compensated compactness. The author applies this tool to the description of large amplitude wave propagation. Small waves are studied through geometrical optics. Special structures are presented...
