Formation and construction of a multidimensional shock wave for the first order hyperbolic conservation law with smooth initial data

In this paper, the problem on formation and construction of a multidimensional shock wave is studied for the first order conservation law $\partial_t u+\partial_x F(u)+\partial_y G(u)=0$ with smooth initial data $u_0(x,y)$. It is well-known that the smooth solution $u$ will blow up on the time $T^*=-\frac{1}{\min{H(ξ,η)}}$ when $\min{H(ξ,η})<0$ holds for $H(ξ,η)=\partial_ξ(F'(u_0(ξ,η)))+\partial_η(G'(u_0(ξ,η)))$, more precisely, only the first order derivatives $\nabla_{t,x,y}u$ blow up on $t=T^*$ meanwhile $u$ itself is still continuous until $t=T^*$. Under the generic nondegenerate condition of $H(ξ,η)$, we construct a local weak entropy solution $u$ for $t\ge T^*$ which is not uniformly Lipschitz continuous on two sides of a shock surface $Σ$. The strength of the constructed shock is zero on the initial blowup curve $Γ$ and then gradually increases for $t>T^*$. Additionally, in the neighbourhood of $Γ$, some detailed and precise descriptions on the singularities of solution $u$ are given.

The shock formation and optimal regularities of the resulting shock curves for 1-D scalar conservation laws

The study on the shock formation and the regularities of the resulting shock surfaces for hyperbolic conservation laws is a basic problem in the nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we are concerned with the shock formation and the optimal regularities of the resulting shock curves for the 1-D conservation law $\partial_tu+\partial_xf(u)=0$ with the smooth initial data $u(0,x)=u_0(x)$. If $u_0(x)\in C^{1}(\Bbb R)$ and $f(u)\in C^2(\Bbb R)$, it is well-known that the solution $u$ will blow up on the time $T^*=-\frac{1}{\min{g'(x)}}$ when $\min{g'(x)}<0$ holds for $g(x)=f'(u_0(x))$. Let $x_0$ be a local minimum point of $g'(x)$ such that $g'(x_0)=\min{g'(x)}<0$ and $g''(x_0)=0$, $g^{(3)}(x_0)>0$ (which is called the generic nondegenerate condition), then by Theorem 2 of \cite{Le94}, a weak entropy solution $u$ together with the shock curve $x=φ(t)\in C^2[T^*, T^*+\varepsilon)$ starting from the blowup point $(T^*, x^*=x_0+g(x_0)T^*)$ can be locally constructed. When the generic nondegenerate condition is violated, namely, when $x_0$ is a local minimum point of $g'(x)$ such that $g''(x_0)=g^{(3)}(x_0)=...=g^{(2k_0)}(x_0)=0$ but $g^{(2k_0+1)}(x_0)>0$ for some $k_0\in\Bbb N$ with $k_0\ge 2$; or $g^{(k)}(x_0)=0$ for any $k\in\Bbb N$ and $k\ge 2$, we will study the shock formation and the optimal regularity of the shock curve $x=φ(t)$, meanwhile, some precise descriptions on the behaviors of $u$ near the blowup point $(T^*, x^*)$ are given. Our main aims are to show that: around the blowup point, the shock really appears whether the initial data are degenerate with finite orders or with infinite orders; the optimal regularities of the shock solution and the resulting shock curve have the explicit relations with the degenerate degrees of the initial data.

Large time asymptotic behavior of the compressible Navier-Stokes Equations in partial Space-Periodic Domains

In this paper, we study the large time behavior of the 3-D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equation in the partial space-periodic domains, and simultaneously show that the related profile systems can be described by like Navier-Stokes equations with suitable "pressure" functions in lower dimensions. Our proofs are based on the energy methods together with some delicate analysis on the corresponding linearized problems.
