A note on singular limits to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws (Q1409258)

The paper concerns with a hyperbolic system of conservation laws in one space variable \[ u_t + f(u)_x = 0,\qquad u(0,x) = u_0(x), \] where \( u \in \mathbb R^n\), \(f:\Omega \subseteq \mathbb R^n \rightarrow \mathbb R^n.\) Let \( K_0 \subset \Omega \) be a compact and let \(\delta_1 > 0 \) be sufficiently small such that \(K_1 = \{ u \in \mathbb R^n: \text{dist}(u,K_0) \leq \delta_1\}\subset \Omega.\) Assuming that the Jacobian matrix \(A = Df\) is uniformly strictly hyperbolic in \(K_1, u_0(-\infty) \in K_0\) and that the total variation of \(u_0\) is sufficiently small, then there exists a unique ``entropic'' solution \(u: [0,+\infty) \rightarrow BV(\mathbb R,\mathbb R^n).\)
