dimensional space variable. We consider φ an entire function that takes real values on the …

New -shock waves in the -system: a distributional product approach

A Paiva - Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
This article studies a Riemann problem for the so-called “p-system” ut− vx= 0, vt−[σ (u)] x= 0,
which rules one-dimensional isentropic thermoelastic media. Such study is made using a …

The present paper concerns the system ut+[ϕ (u)] x= 0, vt+[ψ (u) v] x= 0 having distributions
as initial conditions. Under certain conditions, and supposing ϕ, ψ: ℝ→ ℝ functions, we …

The propagation and collision behavior of δ′ waves in a model of three partial differential equations

Y Pang, C Xu - Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 2024 - Springer
Both propagation and collision behavior of δ′ waves in a model of three partial differential
equations are investigated. These are Cauchy problems for this model with initial values …

Newton's second law and the multiplication of distributions

COR Sarrico, A Paiva - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2018 - pubs.aip.org
Newton's second law is applied to study the motion of a particle subjected to a time
dependent impulsive force containing a Dirac delta distribution. Within this setting, we prove …

Emergence of -waves in the zero pressure gas dynamic system

COR Sarrico - International Journal of Mathematics, 2020 - World Scientific
In this paper, we prove that the model known as the zero pressure gas dynamic system with
certain singular measures as initial conditions may develop waves defined by distributions …

Formation of -shock waves in isentropic fluids

A Paiva - Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 2020 - Springer
This paper studies a Riemann problem for the isentropic Euler equations and addresses two
gaps in the literature concerning positive pressures. Such study is made using a product of …

From a pressureless gas Euler system with a time dependent source term to Newton second law: A distributional product approach

COR Sarrico - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2025 - pubs.aip.org
In the present paper we study, strictly within distribution theory, a one-dimensional
pressureless gas Euler system with a delta measure and a step function as initial conditions …
