    Relative entropy in diffusive relaxation (English)
    0 references
    The authors consider the system of isentropic gas dynamics with friction and the diffusive limit of it, being a single porous media equation for the density. Weak entropy solutions of this system are compared directly to a smooth solutions of the limit equation using a relative entropy analysis of the Lyapunov type. This provides a convergence to solutions of the equation that stay away from vacuum. The rate of convergence is estimated. The method is applied also to other types of systems, including the \(p\)-system with damping and viscoelasticity of the memory type.
