On the Geometric Blow-Up Mechanism to Scalar Conservation Laws ()
ABSTRACT
The focus of this article is on the
geometric mechanism for the blow-up of solutions to the initial value problem
for scalar conservation laws. We prove that the sufficient and
necessary condition of blow-up is the formation of characteristics envelope.
Whether the solution blows up or not relates to the topology structure of a set
dominated by initial data. At last we take Burger’s equation as an example to
verify our main theorem.
