Math. Sci., 15(1):165--184, 2017]. The Burgers--Hilbert equation is $u_t+(\\frac{u^2}{2})_x=\\mathbf{H}[u]$ where $\\mathbf{H}$ is the Hilbert transform, a nonlocal operator. We show stability and uniqueness for solutions amongst a larger class than the uniqueness result in Bressan and Zhang. The solutions we consider are measurable and bounded, satisfy at least one entropy condition, and verify a strong trace condition. We do not have smallness assumptions. We use the relative entropy method and theory of shifts (see Vasseur [Handbook of Differential Equations: Evolutionary Equations, 4:323 -- 376, 2008]).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-20T16:09:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L65", "35L60", "35L03", "35B65", "76B15", "35B35", "35D30", "35L67" ], "keywords": [ "piecewise smooth solutions", "large class", "uniqueness", "burgers-hilbert equation", "strong trace condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
