This paper establishes non-uniform continuity of the data-to-solution map in the periodic case, for the two-component Fornberg-Whitham system in Besov spaces $B^s_{p,r}(\mathbb{T}) \times B^{s-1}_{p,r}(\mathbb{T})$ for $s> \max\{2+\frac{1}{p}, \frac{5}{2}\}$. In particular, when $p=2$ and $r=2$, this proves the non-uniform dependence on initial data for the system in Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{T})\times H^{s-1}(\mathbb{T})$ for $s> \frac{5}{2}$.

The present paper establishes well-posedness for the two-component Fornberg-Whitham system in Besov spaces. First the existence and uniqueness of its solution is proved, then it is shown that the corresponding data-to-solution map is continuous, provided the initial data belong to Besov spaces.

The present paper studies a method of finding Lagrangian transformations, in the form of particle paths, for all scalar conservation laws having a smooth flux. These are found using the notion of weak diffeomorphisms. More precisely, from any given scalar conservation law, we derive a Temple system having one linearly degenerate and one genuinely nonlinear family. We modify the system to make it strictly hyperbolic and prove an existence result for it. Finally we establish that entropy admissible weak solutions to this system are equivalent to those of the scalar equation. This method also determines the associated weak diffeomorphism.

The present paper first aims to study the BV-type regularity for viscosity solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation \[ u_t(t,x)+H\big(D_{x} u(t,x)\big)~=~0\qquad\forall (t,x)\in ]0,\infty[\times\mathbb{R}^d \] with a coercive and uniformly directionally convex Hamiltonian $H\in\mathcal{C}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. More precisely, we establish a BV bound on the slope of backward characteristics $DH(u(t,\cdot))$ starting at a positive time $t>0$. Relying on the BV bound, we quantify the metric entropy in ${\bf W}^{1,1}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for the map $S_t$ that associates to every given initial data $u_0\in{\bf Lip}\big(\mathbb{R}^d\big)$, the corresponding solution $S_tu_0$. Finally, a counter example is constructed to show that both $D_xu(t,\cdot)$ and $DH(D_xu(t,\cdot))$ fail to be in $BV_{\mathrm{loc}}$ for a general strictly convex and coercive $H\in\mathcal{C}^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$., Comment: 30 pages

We establish a sharp estimate for a minimal number of binary digits (bits) needed to represent all bounded total generalized variation functions taking values in a general totally bounded metric space $(E,\rho)$ up to an accuracy of $\varepsilon>0$ with respect to the ${\bf L}^1$-distance. Such an estimate is explicitly computed in terms of doubling and packing dimensions of $(E,\rho)$. The obtained result is applied to provide an upper bound on the metric entropy for a set of entropy admissible weak solutions to scalar conservation laws in one-dimensional space with weakly genuinely nonlinear fluxes., Comment: 26

In this paper, we provide upper and lower estimates for the minimal number of functions needed to represent a bounded variation function with an accuracy of epsilon with respect to ${\bf L}^1$-distance., Comment: 14 pages
