Abstract

We consider weak solutions with finite entropy production to the scalar conservation law \begin{equation} \partial_t u+\mathrm{div}_x F(u)=0 \quad \mbox{in }(0,T)\times \mathbb{R}^d. \end{equation} Building on the kinetic formulation we prove under suitable nonlinearity assumption on ff that the set of non Lebesgue points of uu has Hausdorff dimension at most dd. A notion of Lagrangian representation for this class of solutions is introduced and this allows for a new interpretation of the entropy dissipation measure.
