We consider $\mathbf L^\infty$ solutions to $2\times 2$ systems of conservation laws. For genuinely nonlinear systems we prove that finite entropy solutions (in particular entropy solutions, if a uniformly convex entropy exists) belong to…
We study a 1D scalar conservation law whose non-local flux has a single spatial discontinuity. This model is intended to describe traffic flow on a road with rough conditions. We approximate the problem through an upwind-type numerical…
