Abstract:
The concept of a renormalized entropy solution of the Cauchy problem for an inhomogeneous quasilinear equation of the first order is introduced. Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved, together with a comparison principle.
Connections with generalized entropy solutions are investigated.
Bibliography: 10 titles.
Keywords:first-order quasilinear equations, generalized entropy solutions, comparison principle, renormalized solutions, existence and uniqueness.
