Global Existence of Solutions for a Nonstrictly Hyperbolic System

We obtain the global existence of weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of the nonhomogeneous, resonant system.

Description
Summary:We obtain the global existence of weak solutions for the Cauchy problem of the nonhomogeneous, resonant system. First, by using the technique given in Tsuge (2006), we obtain the uniformly bounded L∞ estimates z(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤B(x) and w(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤β when a(x) is increasing (similarly, w(ρδ,ε, uδ,ε)≤B(x) and z(ρδ,ε,uδ,ε)≤β when a(x) is decreasing) for the ε-viscosity and δ-flux approximation solutions of nonhomogeneous, resonant system without the restriction z0(x)≤0 or w0(x)≤0 as given in Klingenberg and Lu (1997), where z and w are Riemann invariants of nonhomogeneous, resonant system; B(x)>0 is a uniformly bounded function of x depending only on the function a(x) given in nonhomogeneous, resonant system, and β is the bound of B(x). Second, we use the compensated compactness theory, Murat (1978) and Tartar (1979), to prove the convergence of the approximation solutions.
