    The authors analyze the non-classical shock waves which arise as limits of certain diffusive-dispersive approximations to hyperbolic conservation laws. Such shocks occur for non-convex fluxes and connect regions of different convexity. They have negative entropy dissipation for a single convex entropy function. Necessary conditions for the existence of non-classical shock waves are derived as limits of traveling-wave solutions for diffusive-dispersive approximations. ``Kinetic relations'' are shown to act as a selection principle for choosing the unique nonclassical solution to the Riemann problem.
