Almost entire solutions of the Burgers equation

Nicholas D. Alikakos, Dimitrios Gazoulis

Abstract:
We consider Burgers equation on the whole x-t plane. We require the solution to be classical everywhere, except possibly over a closed set S of potential singularities, which is
(a) a subset of a countable union of ordered graphs of differentiable functions,
(b) has one dimensional Hausdorff measure, $H^1(S)$, equal to zero.
We establish that under these conditions the solution is identically equal to a constant.
