Abstract
This is a survey paper, written in the occasion of an invited talk given by the author at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, October 1998. Its purpose is to provide an account of some recent advances in the mathematical theory of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. After a brief review of basic concepts, we describe in detail the method of wave-front tracking approximation and present some of the latest results on uniqueness and stability of entropy weak solutions.

Vanishing Viscosity Solutions of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the Cauchy problem for a strictly hyperbolic, $n\times n$ system in one space dimension, and showed that the solutions of the viscous approximations are defined globally in time and satisfy uniform BV estimates, independent of the initial data.

Some Open Problems in Elasticity

John M. Ball
TL;DR: In this paper, some outstanding open problems of nonlinear elasticity are described, ranging from questions of existence, uniqueness, regularity and stability of solutions in statics and dynamics to issues such as the modelling of fracture and self-contact, the status of elasticity with respect to atomistic models, the understanding of microstructure induced by phase transformations, and the passage from 3D elasticity to models of rods and shells.

Quadratic BSDEs with convex generators and unbounded terminal conditions

TL;DR: In this article, Briand and Hu proved an existence result for BSDEs with quadratic generators with respect to the variable z and with unbounded terminal conditions, but no uniqueness result was stated in that work.

Formation of singularities in one‐dimensional nonlinear wave propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the system (1) is "genuinely nonlinear" in a sense defined below, and if the initial data are "sufficiently small" (but not identically 0), the first derivatives of u will become infinite for certain (x, t) with t > 0.
