Abstract

General hyperbolic systems of balance laws with inhomogeneity in space and time in all constitutive functions are studied in the context of relative entropy. A framework is developed in this setting that contributes to a measure-valued weak vs. strong uniqueness theorem, a stability theorem of viscous solutions and a convergence theorem as the viscosity parameter tends to zero. The main goal of this paper is to develop hypotheses under which the relative entropy framework can still be applied. Examples of systems with inhomogeneity that have different characteristics are presented and the hypotheses are discussed in the setting of each example.
