We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the shock statistics to approach self-similar form in Burgers turbulence with Lévy process initial data. The proof relies upon an elegant closureExpand

We consider scalar conservation laws with convex flux and random initial data. The Hopf–Lax formula induces a deterministic evolution of the law of the initial data. In a recent article, we derived aExpand

The study of scaling limits explains how Smoluchowski dynamics “compactifies” in a natural way that accounts for clusters of zero and infinite size (dust and gel). Expand
