      The author deals with the question of dependence between shock layer thickness and viscosity. The goal of the author is to formalize the notion of shock layer when the viscous problem \[ u_t+ (f(u))_x=\varepsilon u_{x},\quad u|_{t= 0}= u^\varepsilon_0(x) \] approximates the hyperbolic problem \[ U_t+ f(U)_x= 0,\quad U|_{t=0}= u_0(x). \] In doing so, the author is motivated by the Mieses conjecture and the observation that the viscosity effect reveals itself strongly only within the shock layer.
