Non-entropy shock comparison conjecture

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let μ∈N+\mu\in\mathscr{N}_+ and write v:=∂xg:=∂xH[μ]v:=\partial_x g:=\partial_x\mathsf{H}[\mu], where vv is a tractable solution. Non-entropy shock comparison conjecture. The measure μ\mu restricted to the support of Mnon[g]\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g] equals Mnon[g]\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g]:

μ⌊supp⁡(Mnon[g])=Mnon[g].\mu\lfloor_{\operatorname{supp}(\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g])}=\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g].

Equivalently, μ\mu and Mnon[g]\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g] coincide on the non-entropy shocks of vv. In particular, this would imply

I(eμ)≥I(Mnon[g])=Ent+(v).I(\mathsf{e}_{\mu})\geq I(\mathsf{M}_{\mathsf{non}}[g])=\mathsf{Ent}_+(v).

The conjecture addresses the discrepancy between the rate function of the original measure and the entropy-production expressions associated with the non-entropy solution; examples in the paper show that the corresponding rate-function equalities do not hold in general.
