Oleinik Type Estimates and Uniqueness for n x n Conservation Laws
A. Bressan and P. Goatin
Abstract:
Let $u_t + f(x)_x =0$ be a strictly hyperbolic $n\times n$
system of conservation laws in one space dimension. Relying
on the existence of a semigroup of solutions, we first establish
the uniqueness of entropy admissible weak solutions to the
Cauchy problem, under a mild assumption on the local oscillation
of $u$ in a forward neighborhood of each point in the $t-x$
plane. In turn, this yields the uniqueness of weak solutions
which satisfy a decay estimate on positive waves of genuinely
nonlinear families, thus extending a classical result proved
by Oleinik in the scalar case.
