In this article, we develop what are, to the best of our knowledge, the first negative results for scalar conservation laws. We begin with explicit examples where bounded initial data leads to $L^{\infty}$ blow-up despite flux regularity.…

We consider the initial value problem for a scalar conservation law in one space dimension with a single spatial flux discontinuity, the so-called two-flux problem. We prove that a well-known front tracking algorithm has a convergence rate…
