Abstract (11/18,  G.-Q. Chen) The concepts of ``entropy'' have played an important  role in mathematics and other fields in the science.
In this talk, we will discuss some aspects of entropy methods  developed recently based on entropy dissipation, including 
a theory of divergence-measure fields and a kinetic formulation, and their applications to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws
and degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations
