Consider the Cauchy problem for a conservation law and assume that an integral functional on its solution is defined. In this note we obtain an Euler-Lagrange equation for the stationary points of this functional. An application to the optimal management of traffic flows is considered.

We prove that the entropy for an Lâˆž-solution to a scalar conservation laws with continuous initial data is concentrated on a countably 1- rectifiable set. To prove this result we introduce the notion of Lagrangian representation of the solution and give regularity estimates on the solution.

We consider the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic flow model on a network composed by a single junction J with n incoming roads, m outgoing roads and m buffers, one for each outgoing road. We introduce a concept solution at J, which is compared with that proposed in [14]. Finally we study the...

In this paper we propose a Godunov-based discretization of a hyperbolic system of conservation laws with discontinuous flux, modeling vehicular flow on a network. Each equation describes the density evolution of vehicles having a common path along the network. We show that the algorithm selects...

We first prove that the Cauchy problem of the Kawahara equation, $$\partial _{t} u + u\partial _{x} u + \beta \partial ^{3}_{x} u + \gamma \partial ^{5}_{x} u = 0$$ , is locally solvable if the initial data belong to H r ( R) and $$r \geqslant - \frac{7} {5}$$ , thus improving the known...
