Conservation and balance laws on networks have been the subject of much research interest given their wide range of applications to real-world processes, particularly traffic flow. This open access monograph is the first to investigate different types of control problems for conservation laws that arise in the modeling of vehicular traffic. Four types of control problems are discussed - boundary, decentralized, distributed, and Lagrangian control - corresponding to, respectively, entrance points and tolls, traffic signals at junctions, variable speed limits, and the use of autonomy and communication. Because conservation laws are strictly connected to Hamilton-Jacobi equations, control of the latter is also considered. An appendix reviewing the general theory of initial-boundary value problems for balance laws is included, as well as an appendix illustrating the main concepts in the theory of conservation laws on networks.

This book, first published in 2002, contains an introduction to hyperbolic partial differential equations and a powerful class of numerical methods for approximating their solution, including both linear problems and nonlinear conservation laws. These equations describe a wide range of wave propagation and transport phenomena arising in nearly every scientific and engineering discipline. Several applications are described in a self-contained manner, along with much of the mathematical theory of hyperbolic problems. High-resolution versions of Godunov's method are developed, in which Riemann problems are solved to determine the local wave structure and limiters are then applied to eliminate numerical oscillations. These methods were originally designed to capture shock waves accurately, but are also useful tools for studying linear wave-propagation problems, particularly in heterogenous material. The methods studied are implemented in the CLAWPACK software package and source code for all the examples presented can be found on the web, along with animations of many of the simulations. This provides an excellent learning environment for understanding wave propagation phenomena and finite volume methods.

From flowers to bridges, buildings, coke machines, and snowflakes; from molecules to walnuts, fences, pine cones, and sunflowers; from music to children's drawings; from hubcaps to bank logos, propellers, wallpaper decorations, and pavements, we recognize symmetry if we walk around with open eyes and an open mind. This book addresses symmetry.

Systems of conservation laws arise naturally in physics and chemistry. To understand them and their consequences (shock waves, finite velocity wave propagation) properly in mathematical terms requires, however, knowledge of a broad range of topics. This book sets up the foundations of the modern theory of conservation laws, describing the physical models and mathematical methods, leading to the Glimm scheme. Building on this the author then takes the reader to the current state of knowledge in the subject. The maximum principle is considered from the viewpoint of numerical schemes and also in terms of viscous approximation. Small waves are studied using geometrical optics methods. Finally, the initial-boundary problem is considered in depth. Throughout, the presentation is reasonably self-contained, with large numbers of exercises and full discussion of all the ideas. This will make it ideal as a text for graduate courses in the area of partial differential equations.

Les systèmes de lois de conservation non linéaires modélisent les écoulements compressibles et incompressibles dans des domaines extrêmement variés tels que l'aéronautique, l'hydrodynamique, la physique des plasmas, la combustion, le trafic routier, l'élasticité non linéaire. Le cadre mathématique général est celui des systèmes de lois de conservation. Les exemples physiques sont nombreux et souvent spectaculaires. Cela contribue à fonder une nouvelle discipline, la Mécanique des Fluides Numérique. La présentation proposée porte l'accent sur les systèmes que l'on appellera lagrangiens ou écrits en coordonnées de Lagrange, sur leurs relations avec les systèmes en coordonnées d'Euler et sur les possibilités que cela offre pour la construction et l'analyse de schémas numériques entropiques. De nombreux exemples numériques sont présentés en liaison avec le contexte physique, ainsi que des exercices. It has long been observed that systems of conservation laws written in the Lagrange variable offer a good alternative for the numerical computation of approximate solutions. In this monograph we seek to develop a systematic presentation of the use of the Lagrange variable for the analysis and discretization of systems of conservation laws arising in continuum mechanics.
