Hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with some special invariance properties

  • Published:
Israel Journal of Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The Euler equations of fluid dynamics are an example of a very special class of nonlinear, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, in particular those satisfying conditions of reflection and Galilean invariance. These invariance properties are directly responsible for several of the attractive structural features of this system.
