Title: Uniqueness and Weak-BV Stability for $$2\times 2$$ Conservation Laws
Abstract Let a 1-d system of hyperbolic conservation laws, with two unknowns, be endowed with a convex entropy. We consider the family of smallBVfunctions which are global solutions of this equation. For any smallBVinitial data, such global solutions are known to exist. Moreover, they are known to be unique amongBVsolutions verifying either the so-called Tame Oscillation Condition, or the Bounded Variation Condition on space-like curves. In this paper, we show that these solutions are stable in a larger class of weak (and possibly not evenBV) solutions of the system. This result extends the classical weak-strong uniqueness results which allow comparison to a smooth solution. Indeed our result extends these results to a weak-BVuniqueness result, where only one of the solutions is supposed to be smallBV, and the other solution can come from a large class. As a consequence of our result, the Tame Oscillation Condition, and the Bounded Variation Condition on space-like curves are not necessary for the uniqueness of solutions in theBVtheory, in the case of systems with 2 unknowns. The method is$$L^2$$ L 2 based, and builds up from the theory of a-contraction with shifts, where suitable weight functionsaare generated via the front tracking method.  more » « less

  1. Abstract We establish weak-type (1, 1) bounds for the maximal function associated with ergodic averaging operators modeled on a wide class of thin deterministic setsB. As a corollary we obtain the corresponding pointwise convergence result on$$L^1$$ L 1 . This contributes yet another counterexample for the conjecture of Rosenblatt and Wierdl from 1991 asserting the failure of pointwise convergence on$$L^1$$ L 1 of ergodic averages along arithmetic sets with zero Banach density. The second main result is a multiparameter pointwise ergodic theorem in the spirit of Dunford and Zygmund alongBon$$L^p$$ L p ,$$p>1$$ p > 1 , which is derived by establishing uniform oscillation estimates and certain vector-valued maximal estimates.

  2. Abstract In this paper we provide a complete local well-posedness theory for the free boundary relativistic Euler equations with a physical vacuum boundary on a Minkowski background. Specifically, we establish the following results: (i) local well-posedness in the Hadamard sense, i.e., local existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on the data; (ii) low regularity solutions: our uniqueness result holds at the level of Lipschitz velocity and density, while our rough solutions, obtained as unique limits of smooth solutions, have regularity only a half derivative above scaling; (iii) stability: our uniqueness in fact follows from a more general result, namely, we show that a certain nonlinear functional that tracks the distance between two solutions (in part by measuring the distance between their respective boundaries) is propagated by the flow; (iv) we establish sharp, essentially scale invariant energy estimates for solutions; (v) a sharp continuation criterion, at the level of scaling, showing that solutions can be continued as long as the velocity is in$$L^1_t Lip$$ L t 1 L i p and a suitable weighted version of the density is at the same regularity level. Our entire approach is in Eulerian coordinates and relies on the functional framework developed in the companion work of the second and third authors on corresponding non relativistic problem. All our results are valid for a general equation of state$$p(\varrho )= \varrho ^\gamma $$ p ( ϱ ) = ϱ γ ,$$\gamma > 1$$ γ > 1

  3. Abstract LetXbe a compact normal complex space of dimensionnandLbe a holomorphic line bundle onX. Suppose that$$\Sigma =(\Sigma _1,\ldots ,\Sigma _\ell )$$ Σ = ( Σ 1 , , Σ ) is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of distinct irreducible proper analytic subsets ofX,$$\tau =(\tau _1,\ldots ,\tau _\ell )$$ τ = ( τ 1 , , τ ) is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of positive real numbers, and let$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ H 0 0 ( X , L p ) be the space of holomorphic sections of$$L^p:=L^{\otimes p}$$ L p : = L p that vanish to order at least$$\tau _jp$$ τ j p along$$\Sigma _j$$ Σ j ,$$1\le j\le \ell $$ 1 j . If$$Y\subset X$$ Y X is an irreducible analytic subset of dimensionm, we consider the space$$H^0_0 (X|Y, L^p)$$ H 0 0 ( X | Y , L p ) of holomorphic sections of$$L^p|_Y$$ L p | Y that extend to global holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ H 0 0 ( X , L p ) . Assuming that the triplet$$(L,\Sigma ,\tau )$$ ( L , Σ , τ ) is big in the sense that$$\dim H^0_0(X,L^p)\sim p^n$$ dim H 0 0 ( X , L p ) p n , we give a general condition onYto ensure that$$\dim H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)\sim p^m$$ dim H 0 0 ( X | Y , L p ) p m . WhenLis endowed with a continuous Hermitian metric, we show that the Fubini-Study currents of the spaces$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ H 0 0 ( X | Y , L p ) converge to a certain equilibrium current onY. We apply this to the study of the equidistribution of zeros inYof random holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ H 0 0 ( X | Y , L p ) as$$p\rightarrow \infty $$ p

  4. Abstract We investigate the well-posedness of a class of stochastic second-order in time damped evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, subject to the constraint that the solution lies within the unitary sphere. Then, we focus on a specific example, the stochastic damped wave equation in a bounded domain of ad-dimensional Euclidean space, endowed with the Dirichlet boundary condition, with the added constraint that the$$L^2$$ L 2 -norm of the solution is equal to one. We introduce a small mass$$\mu >0$$ μ > 0 in front of the second-order derivative in time and examine the validity of a Smoluchowski–Kramers diffusion approximation. We demonstrate that, in the small mass limit, the solution converges to the solution of a stochastic parabolic equation subject to the same constraint. We further show that an extra noise-induced drift emerges, which in fact does not account for the Stratonovich-to-Itô correction term.

  5. Abstract In this paper, we present counterexamples to maximal$$L^p$$ L p -regularity for a parabolic PDE. The example is a second-order operator in divergence form with space and time-dependent coefficients. It is well-known from Lions’ theory that such operators admit maximal$$L^2$$ L 2 -regularity on$$H^{-1}$$ H - 1 under a coercivity condition on the coefficients, and without any regularity conditions in time and space. We show that in general one cannot expect maximal$$L^p$$ L p -regularity on$$H^{-1}(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ H - 1 ( R d ) or$$L^2$$ L 2 -regularity on$$L^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ L 2 ( R d )
