Abstract:
We present a many-particle approximation of Conservation Laws (CLs). The unique entropy solution to the IVP for a scalar CL was rigorously approximated in [1, 2] by a discrete density constructed from the follow-the-leader model. The IBVP for a scalar CL has been considered in [4]. The results in [1] have been extended in [3] to a $2\times2$ system of CLs. Finally, we present the extensions obtained in [5] for the one dimensional Hughes model for pedestrian flows. \ References\ [1] M.Di Francesco, M.D.Rosini, Rigorous derivation of nonlinear scalar conservation laws from follow-the-leader type models via many particle limit.
