This article consists of two parts. The first ( § §2-5) is devoted to some questions of analysis in the space of functions whose generalized derivatives are measures (the spaces BV). The results obtained here are applied in the second part ( § §6-7) to the study of quasilinear equations. In §6 we prove a theorem on the existence in the large and the uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a first-order quasilinear equation. In §7 we consider quasilinear operators in nondivergence form acting on discontinuous functions in BV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
