Approximate solutions of scalar conservation laws

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study compactness properties of time-discrete and continuous time BGK-type schemes for scalar conservation laws, in which microscopic interactions occur only when the state of a system deviates significantly from an equilibrium distribution. The threshold deviation, ε,ε, is a parameter of the problem. In the vanishing relaxation time limit we obtain solutions of a conservation law in which flux is pointwisely close (of order εε) to the flux of the original equation and derive several other properties of such solutions, including an example of approximate solution to a shock for Burger's equation.
