Generalized solutions to nonlinear first order Cauchy problems

Abstract

The recent significant enrichment of the Order Completion Method for nonlinear Systems of PDEs resulted in the global existence of generalized solutions to a large class of such equations. In this paper we investigate the existence and regularity of the generalized solutions to a family of nonlinear first order Cauchy problems. The spaces of generalized solutions are obtained as the completions of suitably constructed uniform convergence spaces.
