Title
Isometric Immersion of Surface with Negative Gauss Curvature and the Lax-Friedrichs Scheme
Abstract
The isometric immersion of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with negative Gauss curvature into the three-dimensional Euclidean space is considered through the Gauss-Codazzi equations for the first and second fundamental forms. The large L-infinity solution is obtained, which leads to a C-1,C-1 isometric immersion. The approximate solutions are constructed by the Lax-Friedrichs finite-difference scheme with the fractional step. The uniform estimate is established by studying the equations satisfied by the Riemann invariants and using the sign of the nonlinear part. The H-1 compactness is also derived. A compensated compactness framework is applied to obtain the existence of a large L-infinity solution to the Gauss-Codazzi equations for surfaces that are more general than those in the literature.
