Abstract:

We present a new formulation of multidimensional scalar conservation laws, which includes both the equation and the entropy criterion. This formulation is a kinetic one involving an additional variable called velocity by analogy. We also give some applications of this formulation to new compactness and regularity results for entropy solutions based upon the velocity-averaging lemmas. Finally, we show that this kinetic formulation is in fact valid and meaningful for more general classes of equations like equations involving nonlinear second-order terms.
