A general result on the approximation of local conservation laws by nonlocal conservation laws: the singular limit problem for exponential kernels (Q6075024)

The authors deal with the problem of approximating a scalar conservation law by a conservation law with nonlocal flux, containing a convolution operator with exponential kernel. They establish that in the limit as the kernel tends to the Dirac distribution the unique weak solution of the approximate problem converges strongly to the entropy solution of the limit local conservation law.
