Let $a,hinmathcalC^1(mathbbR)$. I found out that a solution of the problem $u_t+a(u)u_x=0$, $u(0,x)=h(x)$ for $xinmathbbR$ can be represented (implicitly) by $$u(t,x)=h(x-ta(u(t,x))).$$
Now, I have to prove that this solution $u$ exists as a function of class $mathcalC^1$ iff $a(h(s))$ is a monotonically increasing function. Does someone have an idea?

  • @Mattos: Thanks, but to which function should it be applied? I did not get the idea - all my attempts failed so far.

  • A proof can be found here. Another method in related posts uses the implicit functions theorem.
