OUTLINE: 1 Introduction/ Motivation 2 Our approach 3 Applications to Euler Equations

Intro Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws in one-space dimension: { t U + x F (U) = 0 x R U(0, x) = U 0, where U = U(t, x) R n is the conserved quantity and (1) F : R n R n smooth flux. Admissible/Entropy weak solution: U(t, x) in BV. t η(u) + x q(u) 0 in D

Motivation Examples: Isothermal Euler equations t ρ + x (ρ u) = 0 t (ρ u) + x (ρ u 2 + κ 2 ρ) = 0 where ρ is the density and u is the velocity of the fluid. Isentropic Euler equations t ρ + x (ρ u) = 0 t (ρ u) + x (ρ u 2 + κ 2 ρ γ ) = 0 γ > 1 where γ > 1 is the adiabatic exponent. Relativistic Euler equations: ( (p + ρ c 2 ) u 2 ) ( ) t c 2 c 2 u 2 + ρ + x (p + ρ c 2 u ) c 2 u 2 = 0 ) ( t ((p + ρ c 2 u ) c 2 u 2 + x (p + ρ c 2 u 2 ) ) c 2 u 2 + p = 0, (4) where c < is the speed of light. (2) (3)

Motivation Question: As γ 1 and c, can we pass from the isentropic to the isothermal and from the relativistic to the classical?

Motivation Question: As γ 1 and c, can we pass from the isentropic to the isothermal and from the relativistic to the classical? In general, the Question is: How do the admissible weak solutions depend on the physical parameters?

Approach Systems of Conservation Laws in one-space dimension: { t W µ (U) + x F µ (U) = 0 x R U(0, x) = U 0, (5) where W µ, F µ : R n R n are smooth functions that depend on a parameter vector µ = (µ 1,..., µ k ), µ i [0, µ 0 ], for i = 1,..., k. and W 0 (U) = U. Formulate an effective approach to establish L 1 estimates of the type: U µ (t) U(t) L 1 C TV {U 0 } t µ (6) U µ is the entropy weak solution to (5) for µ 0 constructed by the front tracking method. U(t) := S t U 0, S is the Lipschitz Standard Riemann Semigroup associated with (5) for µ = 0. µ is the magnitute of the parameter vector µ.

Approach Error estimate Let S be a Lipschitz continuous semigroup: S : D [0, ) D, t S t w(0) w(t) L 1 L lim inf 0 h 0+ S h w(τ) w(τ + h) L 1 dτ, (7) h where L is the Lipschitz constant of the semigroup and w(τ) D. The above inequality appears extensively in the theory of front tracking method: e.g. (i) the entropy weak solution by front tracking coincides with the trajectory of the semigroup S if the semigroup exists, (ii) uniqueness within the class of viscosity solutions, etc... References: Bressan et al.

Approach Front-Tracking Method For δ > 0, let U δ,µ be the δ-approximate solution to { t W µ (U) + x F µ (U) = 0 for µ 0 U(0, x) = U 0, (i) U δ 0 piecewise constant, Uδ 0 U 0 L 1 < δ. (ii) U δ,µ are globally defined piecewice constant functions with finite number of discontinuities. (iii) The discontinuities are of three types: shock fronts, rarefaction fronts with strength less than δ, non-physical fronts with total strength α < δ. (iv) U δ,µ U µ in L 1 loc as δ 0+. References: Bressan, Dafermos, DiPerna, Holden Risebro.

Approach Description Approach Apply the error estimate on w = U δ,µ : S t U δ 0 U δ,µ (t) L 1 L The aim is to estimate t 0 lim inf h 0+ S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) L 1 dτ, h S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) L 1 (8) which is equivalent to solving the Riemann problem of (5) when µ = 0 for τ t τ + h with data { U (U L, U R ) = δ,µ (τ, x) x < x U δ,µ (9) (τ, x) x > x over each front of U δ,µ at time τ, i.e. find S h (U L, U R ). Then compare it with the same front of U δ,µ (τ + h). We solve the Riemann problem at all non-interaction times of U δ,µ.

Approach Description If we can show: x+a x a S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx = O(1)h( µ U L U R + δ), then summing over all fronts of U δ,µ (τ), S t U δ,µ (0) U δ,µ (t) L 1 t L 0 fronts x= x(τ) 1 h x+a x a (10) S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx dτ (11) (12)

Approach Description If we can show: x+a x a S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx = O(1)h( µ U L U R + δ), then summing over all fronts of U δ,µ (τ), S t U δ,µ (0) U δ,µ (t) L 1 t L 0 = O(1) fronts x= x(τ) t ( µ 0 1 h x+a x a (10) S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx dτ ) TVU δ,µ (τ) dτ + δ t (11)

Approach Description If we can show: x+a x a S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx = O(1)h( µ U L U R + δ), then summing over all fronts of U δ,µ (τ), S t U δ,µ (0) U δ,µ (t) L 1 t L 0 = O(1) fronts x= x(τ) t ( µ 0 1 h x+a x a (10) S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx dτ ) TVU δ,µ (τ) dτ + δ t = O(1)( µ TV {U 0 } + δ) t (11)

Approach Description If we can show: x+a x a S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx = O(1)h( µ U L U R + δ), then summing over all fronts of U δ,µ (τ), S t U δ,µ (0) U δ,µ (t) L 1 t L 0 = O(1) fronts x= x(τ) t ( µ 0 1 h x+a x a (10) S h U δ,µ (τ) U δ,µ (τ + h) dx dτ ) TVU δ,µ (τ) dτ + δ t = O(1)( µ TV {U 0 } + δ) t (11) As δ 0+, we obtain U(t) U µ (t) L 1 = O(1) TV {U 0 } t µ (12) where U := S t U 0 is the entropy weak solution to (5) for µ = 0.

Approach Description Remarks Note that U := S t U 0 is unique within the class of viscosity solutions. (Bressan et al). Thus, as µ 0 U µ S t U 0 in L 1.
