Consider a scalar conservation law with discontinuous flux \begin{equation*}\tag{1} \quad u_{t}+f(x,u)_{x}=0, \qquad f(x,u)= \begin{cases} f_l(u)\ &\text{if}\ x<0,\\ f_r(u)\ & \text{if} \ x>0, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $u=u(x,t)$ is…
Extensions (entropies) play a central role in the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws by providing intrinsic selection criteria for weak solutions. For a given hyperbolic system u_t+f(u)_x=0, a standard approach is to analyze directly…
For the Burgers equation, the entropy solution becomes instantly BV with only $L^\infty$ initial data. For conservation laws with genuinely nonlinear discontinuous flux, it is well known that the BV regularity of entropy solutions is lost.…
