| dc.description.abstract | This paper considers the Cauchy problem for an extended traffic flow model with L1-bounded initial data. A solution of the corresponding equilibrium equation with L1-bounded initial data is given by the limit of solutions of viscous approximations of the original system as the dissipation parameter ∈ tends to zero more slowly than the response time τ. The proof of convergence is obtained by applying the Young measure to solutions introduced by DiPerna and, based on the estimate |ρ(t, x)| ≤ √|ρ0(x)|1/ (ct) derived from one of Lax's results and Diller's idea, the limit function ρ(t, x) is shown to be a L1-entropy week solution. A direct byproduct is that we can get the existence of L1-entropy solutions for the Cauchy problem of the scalar conservation law with L1-bounded initial data without any restriction on the growth exponent of the flux function provided that the flux function is strictly convex. Our result shows that, unlike the weak solutions of the incompressible fluid flow equations studied by DiPerna and Majda in [6], for convex scalar conservation laws with L1-bounded initial data, the concentration phenomenon will never occur in its global entropy solutions. | |
