is of interest because solutions of (1.1) may approximate solutions of a general 2 * 2 system of conservation laws in a neighborhood of an isolated point at which strict hyperbolicity fails. In [l] Schaeffer and Shearer show that when system (1 .l) is hyperbolic, there is a nonsingular linear change of dependent variables which transforms system (1.1) into the normal form u, + +(bu2 + 2uv), = 0 (1.2)

Therefore, it follows from (1.3) that A+ = A_ at points satisfying (a - 1)~ + bv = 0 and bu + u = 0 at which strictly hyperbolicity fails to hold. That the first and the second characteristic fields are linearly degenerate on bu + v = 0 follows from (1.4). As a model of a nonstrictly hyperbolic system, (1.2) has been studied by many scholars, especially for the symmetric case (i.e. b = 0). The Riemann problem for the system (1.2) is first considered in [2, 31 when b = 0, a E (1,2) or a E (2, +m), and the interactions of elementary waves are given in [4] when b = 0, a > 2. Recently, using the vanishing viscosity method and theory of compensated compactness, Yunguang Lu [5] and Kan [6] obtained the global weak solutions to system (1.2) when b = 0, a = 3. (Rubino [7] also studied the global weak solutions to system (1.2) when b = 0, a > 2, but his work seems incomplete.) In their work, in order to use the theory of compensated compactness, a fundamental step is to obtain the L--priori estimates independent of the viscosity coefficients on the viscous solutions. So it is of interest to consider the P-priori estimates on the viscous solutions. In this paper, first, we study the uniformly bounded estimates on the solution to the following parabolic system u, + &bU2 + 2UV), = &U** (1.5)

U, + *(au2 + 2buu + vqx = EU, with initial value

(1.6)

(v, @It=0 = (Ql(x), %(X)).

When a, b satisfy a - 1 1 b2, (16b3 + 9( 1 - 2a)b)2 # 4(4b2 - 3(a - 2))3 and b # 0 or a 1 1, b = 0, we get the uniformly bounded estimates (which are independent of a) on the solutions of the Cauchy problem (1.5), (1.6). On the other hand, there have been many papers [8, 91 about the study of solutions to strictly hyperbolic systems of two conservation laws, with viscosity, especially to the gas dynamics system [lo-131 and elasticity system [14], but it is more difficult and important for systems of nonstrictly hyperbolic systems. Since both nonstrictly hyperbolic and linearly degenerate points occur in our model, we also consider the existence and asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the Cauchy problem (1.5), (1.6) for arbitrary constants a, 6. The program of this paper is as follows: in Section 2, for a - 1 L b2, (16b3 + 9(1 - 2~)b)~ # 4(4b2 - 3(a - 2))3 and b # 0 or a 1 1, b = 0, we study the existence of the invariant domain and obtain the L--priori estimates on the solutions of the Cauchy problem (1.5) and (1.6); in Section 3, we consider the existence and asymptotic behaviors of the solutions to the Cauchy problem (1.5) and (1.6) for arbitrary constants a, b. It is worth pointing out that when b = 0, our results coincide with that of [15], hence, our work is an extension of [15]. 2. INVARIANT

ESTIMATES

The main purpose of this section is to obtain the L”-priori estimates, independent of E, to system (1.5) with initial value (1.6). In order to establish such a priori estimates, we shall use the theory of invariant regions due to Chueh et al. [16]. The result of [16] can be summarized in the following theorem.

Quadratic conservation laws

THEOREM.Let gT be two smooth functions, g,: R ’ + R and C = ((v, u): g,(u, u) 5 0). Assume that for any t > 0 and (13,fi) E 8X, the following conditions hold: (a) Vgr is a left eigenvector of VF(D, ii); (b) gr is quasi-convex in (0, ii), i.e. for all r E R2, < * VgT = 0 * V2g7(<, <) 2 0 then X is an invariant region for (1.5) for all E > 0. Namely, if (v,, uO) E E for all X, then (V&(X,t), u&(x, t)) E E:, for all (x, t). We say that w_ E C’(w+, respectively) is a first (second) Riemann invariant for (1.2) if for all (u, u) (Vw_(v, UK r-) = 0 Therefore, Further, tively, the rarefaction

((Vw+(v, UK r,) = 0).

Vw,//l,. let us recall that the integral curves R, of rT in the state space are called, respecfirst and second rarefaction wave curves. Thus, in our case, a first (second) wave curve satisfies the ordinary first order differential equation du dv=

((a - 1)~ + bu) f d((a - 1)~ + bv)* + 4(bu + v)* 2(bu + v)

(2.1)

From (2.1), we can conclude that R_, R, are symmetric on the origin. We can, hence, restrict our attention to the R, family only. Now we turn to analyze the properties of the R, curves. If a, b belong to region IV (i.e. (16b3 + 9(1 - 2a)b)* - 4(4b* - 3(a - 2))3 > 0, see [2]), then we have the following lemma. LEMMA2.1. Under the above hypothesis, if u 2 uO, then R+(v,, u,)-the R, curve through (u,,, u,J (where (u,,, uO) satisfy: bu, + u,, = 0, u. 2 0) has the following properties (see Fig. 1): (a) the R, curve R+(q,, u,,) contains only three parts: except the half line ((u, u): bu + u = 0, u 2 01, one is in the half space bu + u 2 0, the other is in bu + u I 0; (b) the R+(u,, u,,) curves are in one to one correspondence with the points of the half line ((u, u): bu + u = 0, u L 01;

where Y = (a - 1)~ + bu, Z = bu + u, X = n, in order to study the convexity of the R, curves we compute the second derivative. Through tedious but simple computation, we get g

= (a - 1 - P)(X + Y)h(u,

u)/4Z3X.

Under the condition (16b3 + 9(1 - 2a)6)2 - 4(4b2 - 3(a - 2))3 > 0, from corollary 2.4, we can conclude that each one of the R, curves R+(u,, u,,) has at most two turning points, which are on the half line {(u, u): u = ciu, u 2 0) or ((u, u): bu + u = 0, u r 0), respectively. Note that u = ciu (u 2 0) itself is an integral curve of du/du = (X + Y)/2Z. Hence, the theory of ordinary differential equations (the uniqueness of the solutions) indicates that each one of the R, curves R+(u,, u,,) on bu + u > 0 does not intersect with the half line ((u, u): u = c1 u, u 2 0). The above facts and (d,,) deduce that (cn) and (d,,) are true. As to (cm), from the monotonicity, Lim u = M exists, we assume M < +oo, otherwise, v-2t43

is proved. Furthermore, Then we have

Finally, for (1.2), we can construct Riemann invariants w_, W, so that W_(U,u) 5 0 I W+(U,2.4). Since wy is constant along every RT curve, if we prescribe w,(u,, -u,/b) follows: Case 1.

we set

w-l((“,.):“=.,.,.so,= w-l,(“,.):.=o,.50) = -co, then w_(v, U) 5 0 I w+(u, U). From the construction

of the Riemann invariants, we also have the following corollary.

2.5. The Riemann invariants constructed as before satisfy: (a) if (16b3 + 9(1 - 2a)b)’ - 4(4b2 - 3(a - 2))3 > 0, then C~W+/C~U < 0; (b) if (16b3 + 9(1 - 2a)b)’ - 4(4b2 - 3(a - 2))3 < 0, then aw,/au < 0 in region I’ or III’, a~,/& > 0 in region II’ or IV’. COROLLARY

From now on, we shall use the Riemann invariants w_, w, provided by the previous construction. Since by definition Vw7 are left eigenvectors for VF, the Riemann invariants are the functions used to define the invariant regions following [16]. Therefore, in this way we will find a family of invariant regions (Figs 6 and 7 corresponding to lemmas 2.1 and 2.2, respectively) given by XC = (w_ + c 2 01 n (w, - c 5 01,

c > 0.

These regions Xi, C,“, Ci (see Figs 6 and 7) are bounded by the wave curves of the two families. On the other hand, CJ strictly increases in c and spans the whole state space as c -+ 00. Cz (Ef) strictly increases in c and spans the whole region [(u, 24):u 2 CJU, u 2 O)(((u, 2.4):u I c3u, u I 0)) We have the following lemma by the above construction.

(1) When a - 1 = b’, (1.2) can be reduced to a single conservation law, hence, the existence of a global weak solution can be obtained. (2) The cases we consider are of interest, because regions Zf (i = 1,2,3) contain the origin at which system (1.2) is not strictly hyperbolic. 3. EXISTENCE

(3.12) Proof. (3.10)-(3.12) are standard energy inequalities. Using the estimates (3.4)-(3.7), with the method given in [17], we can immediately get (3.10)-(3.12).

From the estimates (3.10), (3.1 l), we can obtain the P-norm estimate that guarantees the existence of the global smooth solution for the Cauchy problem (1.5), (1.6). LEMMA3.4. If the conditions of lemma 3.3 are satisfied, then the solution obtained in lemma 3.1 satisfies

Now we give the main theorem of this section. THEOREM3.5. If the initial value satisfies (3.1)-(3.3), then, the Cauchy problem (1.5), (1.6) has a unique global smooth solution (u, u) and (u, u) satisfies tL_imm (x tFEuf*R (IW +

The former part of the theorem follows from lemmas 3.1 and 3.4. In order to prove the asymptotic behavior, we need the following result. LEMMA 3.6. For the continuous and differentiable IO+”If’(s)1 d.s L M, then Lim f(t) = 0.

and the absolutely continuity of the Lebesgue integral, we conclude that f(t) continuous. Using the hypothesis SO+” f(s) d.s I M, we have Lim f(t) = 0. t++a, Now we turn to prove the asymptotic behavior. From estimates (3.1 l), since 3 j?z (vi + u,“) dx is independent of ti , we get
