Pointwise estimates of solutions for the multi-dimensional scalar conservation laws with relaxation

 1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 800 Dong Chuan Road, 200240, Shanghai

Received  March 2010 Revised  August 2010 Published  May 2011

Our aim is to study the pointwise time-asymptotic behavior of solutions for the scalar conservation laws with relaxation in multi-dimensions. We construct the Green's function for the Cauchy problem of the relaxation system which satisfies the dissipative condition. Based on the estimate for the Green's function, we get the pointwise estimate for the solution. It is shown that the solution exhibits some weak Huygens principle where the characteristic 'cone' is the envelope of planes.
