Invariant regions for systems of conservation laws. (English) Zbl 0535.35056
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a region in $${\mathbb{R}}^ n$$ to be invariant for (Glimm) solutions of the system of n conservation laws $$u_ t+f(u)_ x=0.$$ A number of examples are given, and some observation are made about the invariance of such regions for certain finite difference approximations of solutions of systems of conservation laws.
