Show that a solution of $u_t+(|u|^alpha)_x=0$ violates entropy condition












1












$begingroup$



Consider $$u_t+(|u|^alpha)_x=0, quadalpha>1$$ Given the initial condition
$$u(x,0)=begin{cases} 0, x<0\1,x>0end{cases}$$



a) Find a solution for $u(x, t)$ that is continuous for all $t > 0$ and satisfies the initial condition.



b) Find a solution for $u(x, t)$ that includes a shock obeying the
appropriate jump condition.



(c) Show that one of these solutions does not satisfy the entropy
condition.




My attempt:



We can rewrite the equation $$u_t+(|u|^alpha)_x=u_t+alpha u |u|^{alpha-2}u_x$$ then we parametrize begin{align} x(0,r) &= r \ t(0,r) &= 1 \ u(0,r) &= u_0 end{align}



The characteristics satisfying IVP are



begin{align}
x_s &= alpha u |u|^{alpha-2} \
implies x &= alpha u |u|^{alpha-2}t+r \
t_s &= 1 \
implies t &= s \
u_s &=0 \
implies u &= u_0 end{align}



The projection on $(x,t)$-plane is given by $$t = frac{x-r}{alpha u |u|^{alpha-2}}$$ So if $x<0$, the denominator is $0$. How do I find the solution?

          The characteristics are the curves $x=x_0+alpha u|u|^{alpha-2}t$ along which $u=u(x_0,0)=F(x_0)$ is constant.
          With the given initial data, we have
          $$
          u(x,t) = leftlbrace
          begin{aligned}
          &0 &&text{if}quad x <0\
          &U (x/t) &&text{if}quad 0 leq x leq alpha t\
          &1 &&text{if}quad alpha t <x
          end{aligned}
          right.
          $$
          where $U (x/t)$ is a rarefaction wave solution. The latter is obtained from assuming a smooth solution of the form $u (x,t) = U (xi)$ with $xi=x/t$. Using this self-similarity Ansatz and the PDE, one obtains
          $$
          U (x/t) = left.left (xitoalpha xi|xi|^{alpha-2}right)^{-1}right|_{xi=x/t} = left(frac{x}{alpha t}right)^frac {1}{alpha-1} .
          $$
          Concerning the shock wave solution
          $$
          u(x,t) = leftlbrace
          begin{aligned}
          &0 &&text{if}quad x <st\
          &1 &&text{if}quad st <x
          end{aligned}
          right.
          $$
          with
          $$
          s = frac{|1|^alpha - |0|^alpha}{1 - 0} = 1
          $$
          following from the Rankine-Hugoniot condition, one shows that this solution does not satisfy the Lax entropy condition since
          $$
          alpha, 0, |0|^{alpha-2} < s < alpha, 1, |1|^{alpha-2} .
          $$
          Indeed, the Lax entropy condition requires opposite inequalities.
          Finally, the entropy solution is the rarefaction wave.

          where $U (x/t)$ is a rarefaction wave solution. The latter is obtained from assuming a smooth solution of the form $u (x,t) = U (xi)$ with $xi=x/t$. Using this self-similarity Ansatz and the PDE, one obtains
          $$
          U (x/t) = left.left (xitoalpha xi|xi|^{alpha-2}right)^{-1}right|_{xi=x/t} = left(frac{x}{alpha t}right)^frac {1}{alpha-1} .
          $$
          Concerning the shock wave solution
          $$
          u(x,t) = leftlbrace
          begin{aligned}
          &0 &&text{if}quad x <st\
          &1 &&text{if}quad st <x
          end{aligned}
          right.
          $$
          with
          $$
          s = frac{|1|^alpha - |0|^alpha}{1 - 0} = 1
          $$
          following from the Rankine-Hugoniot condition, one shows that this solution does not satisfy the Lax entropy condition since
          $$
          alpha, 0, |0|^{alpha-2} < s < alpha, 1, |1|^{alpha-2} .
          $$
          Indeed, the Lax entropy condition requires opposite inequalities.
          Finally, the entropy solution is the rarefaction wave.

            How can we find s, the jump condition gives us $s=frac{|u^-|^alpha-|u^+|^alpha}{u^- - u^+}$, and how can we show that the shockwave solution is a weak solution? I know the formula I do not see how that condition is easy to check

          Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

          Image
          0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
