    The paper deals with the investigation of Hamilton-Jacobi equations which are closely related to scalar conservation laws. Thereby, a proof concerned with the equivalence between the unique viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the unique entropy solution of the corresponding scalar conservation law is presented. Furthermore, a front tracking algorithm for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in one dimension is derived.
