Abstract:
This article 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.
