Abstract: The statistical description of the scalar conservation law of the form hot=H(ho)x with H:mathbbRightarrowmathbbR a smooth convex function has been an object of interest when the initial profile ho(cdot,0) is random. The special case when H(ho)=fracho22 (Burgers equation) has in particular received extensive interest in the past and is now understood for various random initial conditions. We solve in this paper a conjecture on the profile of the solution at any time t>0 for a general class of hamiltonians H and show that it is a stationary piecewise-smooth Feller process. Along the way, we study the excursion process of the two-sided linear Brownian motion W below any strictly convex function phi with superlinear growth and derive a generalized Chernoff distribution of the random variable extargmaxzinmathbbR(W(z)phi(z)). Finally, when ho(cdot,0) is a white noise derived from an abrupt L'evy process, we show that the shocks structure of the solution is a.s discrete at any fixed time t>0 under some mild assumptions on H.
