Abstract
Dafermos [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 70 (1979), pp. 167–179] proved the weak/strong principle for conservation laws. It states that Lipschitz solutions to conservation laws endowed with convex entropies are unique and stable among weak solutions. The method, based on relative entropy, was extended by Di Perna [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 28 (1979), pp. 137–188] to show the uniqueness of shocks among weak solutions with strong traces. This theory has been recently revisited with the notion of weighted contractions up to shifts. We review in this paper recent applications of this method, including the weak/BV principle and the stability of discontinuous solutions among inviscid double limits of Navier-Stokes systems.
期刊介绍:
The Quarterly of Applied Mathematics contains original papers in applied mathematics which have a close connection with applications. An author index appears in the last issue of each volume.
This journal, published quarterly by Brown University with articles electronically published individually before appearing in an issue, is distributed by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). In order to take advantage of some features offered for this journal, users will occasionally be linked to pages on the AMS website.
