摘要: In this paper, we use Lax-Oleinik formula to study the asymptotic behavior for the initial problem of scalar conservation law ut + F(u)x=0. First, we prove a simple but useful property of Lax-Oleinik formula (Lemma 2.7). In fact, denote the Legendre transform of F(u) as L(σ), then we can prove that the quantity F(q)-qF'(q) + L(F'(q)) is a constant independent of q. As a simple application, we first give the solution of Riemann problem without using of Rankine-Hugoniot condition and entropy condition. Then we study the asymptotic behavior of the problem with some special initial data and prove that the solution contains only a single shock for t > T*. Meanwhile, we can give the equation of the shock and an explicit value of T*.
