We consider nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, posed on a differential (n+1)-manifold with boundary referred to as a spacetime, and in which the flux is defined as a flux field of n-forms depending on a parameter (the unknown variable). We introduce a formulation of the initial and boundary value problem which is geometric in nature and is more natural than the vector field approach recently developed for Riemannian manifolds. Our main assumption on the manifold and the flux field is a global hyperbolicity condition, which provides a global time-orientation as is standard in Lorentzian geometry and general relativity. Assuming that the manifold admits a foliation by compact slices, we establish the existence of a semi-group of entropy solutions. Moreover, given any two hypersurfaces with one lying in the future of the other, we establish a contraction property which compares two entropy solutions, in a (geometrically natural) distance equivalent to the L1 distance. To carry out the proofs, we rely on a new version of the finite volume method, which only requires the knowledge of the given n-volume form structure on the (n+1)-manifold and involves the {sl total flux} across faces of the elements of the triangulations, only, rather than the product of a numerical flux times the measure of that face.

We consider entropy solutions to the initial value problem associated with scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on the two-dimensional sphere. We propose a finite volume scheme which relies on a web-like mesh made of segments of longitude and latitude lines. The structure of the mesh allows for a discrete version of a natural geometric compatibility condition, which arose earlier in the well-posedness theory established by Ben-Artzi and LeFloch. We study here several classes of flux vectors which define the conservation law under consideration. They are based on prescribing a suitable vector field in the Euclidean three-dimensional space and then suitably projecting it on the spheres tangent plane; even when the flux vector in the ambient space is constant, the corresponding flux vector is a non-trivial vector field on the sphere. In particular, we construct here equatorial periodic solutions, analogous to one-dimensional periodic solutions to one-dimensional conservation laws, as well as a wide variety of stationary (steady state) solutions. We also construct confined solutions, which are time-dependent solutions supported in an arbitrarily specified subdomain of the sphere. Finally, representative numerical examples and test-cases are presented.
We introduce a formulation of the initial and boundary value problem for nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a differential manifold endowed with a volume form, possibly with a boundary; in particular, this includes the important case of Lorentzian manifolds. Only limited regularity is assumed on the geometry of the manifold. For this problem, we establish the existence and uniqueness of an L1 semi-group of weak solutions satisfying suitable entropy and boundary conditions.
In this paper, we propose a hybrid finite volume Hermite weighted essentially non-oscillatory (HWENO) scheme for solving one and two dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The zeroth-order and the first-order moments are used in the spatial reconstruction, with total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta time discretization. The main idea of the hybrid HWENO scheme is that we first use a shock-detection technique to identify the troubled cell, then, if the cell is identified as a troubled cell, we would modify the first order moment in the troubled cell and employ HWENO reconstruction in spatial discretization; otherwise, we directly use high order linear reconstruction. Unlike other HWENO schemes, we borrow the thought of limiter for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method to control the spurious oscillations, after this procedure, the scheme would avoid the oscillations by using HWENO reconstruction nearby discontinuities and have higher efficiency for using linear approximation straightforwardly in the smooth regions. In addition, the hybrid HWENO scheme still keeps the compactness. A collection of benchmark numerical tests for one and two dimensional cases are performed to demonstrate the numerical accuracy, high resolution and robustness of the proposed scheme.
We consider a class of multidimensional conservation laws with vanishing nonlinear diffusion and dispersion terms. Under a condition on the relative size of the diffusion and dispersion coefficients, we establish that the diffusive-dispersive solutions are uniformly bounded in a space Lp ($p$ arbitrary large, depending on the nonlinearity of the diffusion) and converge to the classical, entropy solution of the corresponding multidimensional, hyperbolic conservation law. Previous results were restricted to one-dimensional equations and specific spaces Lp. Our proof is based on DiPernas uniqueness theorem in the class of entropy measure-valued solutions.
In this paper using a Clifford bundle formalism we examine (a): the strong conditions for existence of conservation laws involving only the energy-momentum and angular momentum of the matter fields on a general Riemann-Cartan spacetime and also in the particular cases of Lorentzian and teleparallel spacetimes and (b): the conditions for the existence of conservation laws of energy-momentum and angular momentum for the matter and gravitational fields when this latter concept can be rigorously defined. We examine in details some misleading and even erroneous and often quoted statements concerning the issues of the conservation laws in General Relativity and Riemann-Cartan (including the particular case of the teleparallel one) theories.
