The problem BLN <strong>condition</strong> & Alternatives Effective BC graph Definition Uniqueness Definition Bis Existence & Convergence of Approximations<br />

Alteratives to <strong>the</strong> BLN approach...<br />

Essential feature of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bardos</strong>-<strong>LeRoux</strong>-<strong>Nédélec</strong> framework:<br />

existence of strong traces of u on <strong>the</strong> <strong>boundary</strong> Σ.<br />

This is achieved by ensuring that u belongs to <strong>the</strong> space BV . This is<br />

natural <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dirichlet BC but BV is not a natural space e.g. <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

zero-flux BC. Yet <strong>the</strong> BV framework can be bypassed in many ways.<br />

(F. Otto (’96)) notion of a <strong>boundary</strong> entropy-entropy flux pair and<br />

use of weak traces (<strong>the</strong>y always exist) to give L ∞ <strong>the</strong>ory.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> present work, we will not pursue this line.
