Abstract:
We study the convergence rate of approximate solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic systems which are weakly coupled through linear source terms. Such weakly coupled $2 \times 2$ systems appear, for example, in the context of resonant waves in gas dynamics equations. This work is an extension of our previous scalar analysis. This analysis asserts that a One Sided Lipschitz Condition (OSLC, or $\mathrm {Lip}^+$-stability) together with $W^{-1,1}$-consistency imply convergence to the unique entropy solution. Moreover, it provides sharp convergence rate estimates, both global (quantified in terms of the $W^{s,p}$-norms) and local. We focus our attention on the $\mathrm {Lip}^+$-stability of the viscosity regularization associated with such weakly coupled systems. We derive sufficient conditions, interesting for their own sake, under which the viscosity (and hence the entropy) solutions are $\mathrm {Lip}^+$-stable in an appropriate sense. Equipped with this, we may apply the abovementioned convergence rate analysis to approximate solutions that share this type of $\mathrm {Lip}^+$-stability.References
