Abstract: We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution to the Cauchy problem corresponding to the equation �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} partial_t u_{varepsilon,delta} +mathrm{div} {mathfrak f}_{varepsilon,delta}({�f x}, u_{varepsilon,delta})=varepsilon Delta u_{varepsilon,delta}+delta(varepsilon) partial_t Delta u_{varepsilon,delta}, {�f x} in M, tgeq 0 u|_{t=0}=u_0({�f x}). end{cases} end{equation*} Here, mathfrakfvarepsilon,delta and u0 are smooth functions while varepsilon and delta=delta(varepsilon) are fixed constants. Assuming mathfrakfvarepsilon,deltaomathfrakfinLp(mathbbRdimesmathbbR;mathbbRd) for some 1<p<infty, strongly as varepsilono0, we prove that, under an appropriate relationship between varepsilon and delta(varepsilon) depending on the regularity of the flux mathfrakf, the sequence of solutions (uvarepsilon,delta) strongly converges in Lloc1(mathbbR+imesmathbbRd) towards a solution to the conservation law partial_t u +mathrm{div} {mathfrak f}({�f x}, u)=0. The main tools employed in the proof are the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem for the first part and reduction to the kinetic formulation combined with recent results in the velocity averaging theory for the second.
