Abstract: We propose new Kruzhkov type entropy conditions for one dimensional scalar conservation law with a discontinuous flux. We prove existence and uniqueness of the entropy admissible weak solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem merely under assumptions on the flux which provide the maximum principle. In particular, we allow multiple flux crossings and we do not need any kind of genuine nonlinearity conditions.


The author proposes new Kruzhkov type entropy conditions for the scalar conservation law \[ \partial_t u +\partial_x(H(x)f(u)+H(-x)g(u))=0 \] with flux function discontinuous at the point \(x=0\). Under assumptions provided the maximum principle, the existence and uniqueness of an entropy admissible weak solution are proven.
