Boundary layers for self-similar viscous approximations of nonlinear hyperbolic systems
Christoforou, Cleopatra; Spinolo, L. V. (2013)We provide a precise description of the set of residual boundary conditions generated by the self-similar viscous approximation introduced by Dafermos et al. We then apply our results, valid for both conservative and ...

BV weak solutions to Gauss-Codazzi system for isometric immersions
Christoforou, Cleopatra (2012)The isometric immersion problem for surfaces embedded into R3 is studied via the fluid dynamic framework introduced in Chen et al. (2010) [6] as a system of balance laws of mixed-type. The techniques developed in the theory ...

Continuous dependence of entropy solutions to the Euler equations on the adiabatic exponent and mach number
Chen, G. -Q; Christoforou, Cleopatra; Zhang, Y. (2008)We establish the L1-estimates for continuous dependence of entropy solutions to the full Euler equations away from the vacuum on two physical parameters: the adiabatic exponent γ → 1 that passes from the non-isentropic to ...

Decay of Positive Waves of Hyperbolic Balance Laws
Christoforou, Cleopatra; Trivisa, K. (2012)Historically, decay rates have been used to provide quantitative and qualitative information on the solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. Quantitative results include the establishment of convergence rates for ...

Dependence of entropy solutions in the large for the euler equations on nonlinear flux functions
Chen, G. -Q; Christoforou, Cleopatra; Zhang, Y. (2007)We study the dependence of entropy solutions in the large for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws whose flux functions depend on a parameter vector μ. We first formulate an effective approach for establishing the L ...

Existence and uniqueness analysis of a detached shock problem for the potential flow
Chen, J.; Christoforou, Cleopatra; Jegdi, K. (2011)We study a problem for two-dimensional steady potential and isentropic Euler equations in a bounded domain, where an artificial detached shock interacts with a wedge. Using the stream function, we obtain a free boundary ...

Hyperbolic systems of balance laws via vanishing viscosity
Christoforou, Cleopatra (2006)Global weak solutions of a strictly hyperbolic system of balance laws in one-space dimension are constructed by the vanishing viscosity method of Bianchini and Bressan. For global existence, a suitable dissipativeness ...

Isometric immersions via compensated compactness for slowly decaying negative Gauss curvature and rough data
Christoforou, Cleopatra; Slemrod, M. (2015)In this paper, the method of compensated compactness is applied to the problem of isometric immersion of a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with negative Gauss curvature into three-dimensional Euclidean space. Previous ...

Measure-valued solutions for the equations of polyconvex adiabatic thermoelasticity
Christoforou, Cleopatra; Galanopoulou, Myrto Maria; Tzavaras, Athanasios (2019)For the system of polyconvex adiabatic thermoelasticity, we define a notion of dissipative measure-valued solution, which can be considered as the limit of a viscosity approximation. We embed the system into a symmetrizable ...

On the decay rate of the Gauss curvature for isometric immersions
Christoforou, Cleopatra; Slemrod, M. (2016)We address the problem of global embedding of a two dimensional Riemannian manifold with negative Gauss curvature into three dimensional Euclidean space. A theorem of Efimov states that if the curvature decays too slowly ...
