This paper deals with isothermal Euler-Poisson system which is used to model collapse of self-gravitating Newtonian star. Density dependent viscosity term is added on the right-hand side of momentum equation and it has been proved that there exists stable shadow wave solution with unbounded density at the origin. This results is extended to the vanishing pressure case.
The shallow water system with a bed jump describes a fluid flow over a dam, represented by a simple step function with the Riemann initial data is such that the vacuum is on the right-hand side. The main question is whether the fluid will stay on the left-hand side of the dam. After approximating the step function space derivative with a fixed shadow wave, solutions to that problem stay bounded. A proper connection between waves on both sides of the dam, and a unique solution afterward is found by using the maximal dissipation principle.
The main goal of the paper is to define and use a condition sufficient to choose a unique solution to conservation law systems with a singular measure in initial data. Different approximations can lead to solutions with different distributional limits. The new notion called backward energy condition is then to single out a proper approximation of the distributional initial data. The definition is based on the maximal energy dissipation defined in \cite{CD_1973}. Suppose that a conservation law system admits a supplementary law in space--time divergent form where the time component is a (strictly or not) convex function. It could be an energy density or a mathematical entropy in gas dynamic models, for example. One of the admissibility conditions is that a proper weak solution should maximally dissipate the energy or the mathematical entropy. We show that it is consistent with other admissibility conditions in the case of Riemann problems for systems of isentropic gas dynamics with non-positive pressure in the first part of the paper. Singular solutions to these systems are described by shadow waves, nets of piecewise constant approximations with respect to the time variable. In the second part, we define and apply the backward energy condition for those systems when the initial data contains a delta measure approximated by piecewise constant functions.
In this paper the new procedure for a construction of an approximated solution to initial data problem for one-dimensional pressureless gas dynamics system is introduced. The procedure is based on solving the Riemann problems and tracking singular wave interactions. For that system the new problem with initial data containing Dirac delta function is solved whenever two waves interact. Use of the shadow waves as singular solutions to such problems enables us to easily solve the interaction problems. That permits us to make a simple extension of the well known Wave Front Tracking algorithm. A non-standard part of the new algorithm is dealing with delta functions as a part of a solution. In the final part of the paper we show that the approximated solution has a subsequence converging to a signed Radon measure.
