| contents | We are concerned with the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the first-order quasilinear equations with non-Lipschitz source terms and the global structures of the multi-dimensional Riemann solutions. For such quasilinear equations with initial data in $L^\infty$, when the source term $g(t, x, u)$ is only right-Lipschitz (not necessarily left-Lipschitz) in $u$, we first prove that the Kruzkov entropy condition is sufficient to guarantee the well-posdeness of entropy solutions. Next, we analyze the structures of global multi-dimensional Riemann solutions for scalar conservation laws with non-Lipschitz source terms, where the Riemann-type initial data consist of two different constant states separated by a smooth hypersurface. More precisely, we construct the global multidimensional Riemann solutions with non-selfsimilar structures, including nonselfsimilar shock waves and nonselfsimilar rarefaction waves, and prove that these two kinds of basic waves can be expressed via the implicit functions of functional equation determined by the initial discontinuity, the flux functions, and the non-Lipschitz source term. Moreover, we discover two new phenomena: (i) such kinds of basic waves can disappear in a finite time and (ii) the new-type rarefaction wave can contain some weak discontinuities in its interior. These behaviors are in stark contrast to the case of the Lipschitz source term, where these two kinds of basic waves persist globally and the rarefaction waves remain smooth in the interior. Finally, we provide two examples to respectively demonstrate the uniqueness of Riemann solutions in the case of the source term being non-Lipschitz from left (necessarily right-Lipschitz), and the non-uniqueness of Riemann solutions in the case of the source term being non-Lipschitz from right. |
