Abstract
This series of four lectures will provide an introduction to multidimensional conservation laws, along with a perspective on a list of open problems. The main topics will include: Prototypes and Basic Features/Phenomena Multidimensional Models Multidimensional Steady Problems Multidimensional Self-Similar Problems Compressible Vortex Sheets and Related Problems Divergence-Measure Fields and Hyperbolic Conservation Laws Lecture References: Gui-Qiang Chen, Euler Equations and Related Hyperbolic Conservation Laws, In: Handbook of Differential Equations: Evolutionary Differential Equations, Vol. 2, pp. 1-104, 2005, Eds.
