  1. This paper is concerned with a scalar conservation law with discontinuous gradient-dependent flux. Namely, the flux is described by two different functions, depending on the sign of the gradient of the solution. We study here the stable case where solutions form a contractive semigroup in L^1. In the spatially periodic case, we prove that semigroup trajectories coincide with the unique limits of a suitable class of vanishing viscosity approximations.

  2. For a scalar conservation law with strictly convex flux, by Oleinik’s estimates the total variation of a solution with bounded measurable initial data decays like 1/t. This paper introduces a class of intermediate domains where a faster decay rate is achieved. A key ingredient of the analysis is a “Fourier-type” decomposition of u into components which oscillate more and more rapidly. The results aim at extending the theory of fractional domains for analytic semigroups to an entirely nonlinear setting.

  3. This paper intends to provide a brief review of the current well-posedness theory for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension, also pointing out open problems and possible research directions.
