Abstract

Dafermos regularization is a viscous regularization of hyperbolic conservation laws that preserves solutions of the form $u=\hat u(X/T)$. A Riemann-Dafermos solution is a solution of the Dafermos regularization that is close to a Riemann solution of the conservation law. Using self-similar coordinate $x=X/T$, Riemann-Dafermos solutions become stationary. In a suitable Banach space, we show that the linear variational system around such solution is sectorial, thus generating an analytic semigroup.
