The 71st Midwest Partial Differential Equations Seminar May 11-12, 2013 Room TBA East Hall University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI   Abstract Detail   Title: Relative entropy applied to the stability of viscous shocks up to a translation for scalar conservation laws We consider inviscid limits to shocks for viscous scalar conservation laws in one space dimension, with strict convex fluxes. We obtain sharp estimates in L2, for a class of large perturbations. Those perturbations can be chosen big enough to destroy the viscous layer. This shows that the fast convergence to the shock does not depend on the fine structure of the viscous layers. This is joint work with A. Vasseur.
