Abstract:

We consider bounded weak solutions to the Burgers equation for which every entropy dissipation is representable by a measure and we prove that all these measures are concentrated on the graphs of countably many Lipschitz curves. The main tool is the Lagrangian representation, which is an extension of the method of characteristics to the non-smooth setting.
