The Cauchy problem for a simplified shallow elastic fluids model, one3×3system of Temple’s type, is studied and a global weak solution is obtained by using the compensated compactness theorem coupled with the total variation estimates on the first and third Riemann invariants, where the second Riemann invariant is singular near the zero layer depthρ=0. This work extends in some sense the previous works, (Serre, 1987) and (Leveque and Temple, 1985), which provided the global existence of weak solutions for2×2strictly hyperbolic system and (Heibig, 1994) forn×nstrictly hyperbolic system with smooth Riemann invariants.

We obtain the global existence of weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of the nonhomogeneous, resonant system. First, by using the technique given in Tsuge (2006), we obtain the uniformly boundedL∞estimatesz(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤B(x)andw(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤βwhena(x)is increasing (similarly,w(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤B(x)andz(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤βwhena(x)is decreasing) for theε-viscosity andδ-flux approximation solutions of nonhomogeneous, resonant system without the restrictionz0(x)≤0orw0(x)≤0as given in Klingenberg and Lu (1997), wherezandware Riemann invariants of nonhomogeneous, resonant system;B(x)>0is a uniformly bounded function ofxdepending only on the functiona(x)given in nonhomogeneous, resonant system, andβis the bound ofB(x). Second, we use the compensated compactness theory, Murat (1978) and Tartar (1979), to prove the convergence of the approximation solutions.

Benney introduced a general strategy for deriving systems of nonlinear partial differential equations associated with long- and short-wave solutions. The semi-linear Benney system was studied recently by Tsutsumi and Hatano. Here, we tackle the nonlinear version of it and using compensated compactness techniques, we prove the global existence of weak solutions to the Cauchy problem, in the case that the equation for the amplitude of the long wave is a quasilinear conservation law with flux f(v) = av2 - bv3 where a, b are constants with b > 0.

SynopsisWe study the blow-up of positive solutions of the Cauchy problem for the semilinear parabolic equationwhere u is a scalar function of the spatial variable x ∈ ℝN and time t > 0, a ∈ ℝV, a ≠ 0, 1 < p and 1 ≦ q. We show that: (a) if p > 1 and 1 ≦ q ≦ p, there always exist solutions which blow up in finite time; (b) if 1 < q ≦ p ≦ min {1 + 2/N, 1 + 2q/(N + 1)} or if q = 1 and 1 < p ≦ l + 2/N, then all positive solutions blow up in finite time; (c) if q > 1 and p > min {1 + 2/N, 1 + 2q/N + 1)}, then global solutions exist; (d) if q = 1 and p > 1 + 2/N, then global solutions exist.

One of the mathematical models describing the behavior of two horizontally infinite adjoining layers of an ideal incompressible liquid under a solid cover moving at different speeds is investigated. At a large difference in the layer velocities, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurs, which leads to a distortion of the interface. At the initial point in time, the interface is not necessarily flat. From a mathematical point of view, the behavior of the liquid layers is described by a system of four quasilinear equations, either hyperbolic or elliptic, in partial derivatives of the first order. Some type shallow water equations are used to construct the model. In the simple version of the model considered in this paper, in the spatially one-dimensional case, the unknowns are the boundary between the liquid layers h(x,t) and the difference in their velocities γ(x,t). The main attention is paid to the case of elliptic equations when |h|&lt;1 and γ&gt;1. An evolutionary Cauchy problem with arbitrary sufficiently smooth initial data is set for the system of equations. The explicit dependence of the Riemann invariants on the initial variables of the problem is indicated. To solve the Cauchy problem formulated in terms of Riemann invariants, a variant of the hodograph method based on a certain conservation law is used. This method allows us to convert a system of two quasilinear partial differential equations of the first order to a single linear partial differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients. For a linear equation, the Riemann-Green function is specified, which is used to construct a two-parameter implicit solution to the original problem. The explicit solution of the problem is constructed on the level lines (isochrons) of the implicit solution by solving a certain Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. As a result, the original Cauchy problem in partial derivatives of the first order is transformed to the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by numerical methods. Due to the bulkiness of the expression for the Riemann-Green function, some asymptotic approximation of the problem is considered, and the results of calculations, and their analysis are presented.

Hyperbolic formulations of the equations of motion are essential technique for proving the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of a system, and are also helpful for implementing stable long time evolution in numerical applications. We, here, present three kinds of hyperbolic systems in the Ashtekar formulation of general relativity for Lorentzian vacuum spacetime. We exhibit several (I) weakly hyperbolic, (II) diagonalizable hyperbolic, and (III) symmetric hyperbolic systems, with each their eigenvalues. We demonstrate that Ashtekar's original equations form a weakly hyperbolic system. We discuss how gauge conditions and reality conditions are constrained during each step toward constructing a symmetric hyperbolic system.
