Abstract: We prove that if

u

is the entropy solution to a scalar conservation law in one space dimension, then the entropy dissipation is a measure concentrated on countably many Lipschitz curves. This result is a consequence of a detailed analysis of the structure of the characteristics. \ In particular the characteristic curves are segments outside a countably 1-rectifiable set and the left and right traces of the solution exist in a

C^{0}

-sense up to the degeneracy due to the segments where

. We prove also that the initial data is taken in a suitably strong sense and we give some counterexamples which show that these results are sharp.

Review text

The authors study entropy solutions of a scalar conservation law \(u_t+f(u)_x=0\) with the single space variable \(x\). They show that the entropy dissipation measure is concentrated on countably many Lipschitz curves. This result is based on a detailed analysis of the characteristics. The authors prove also that the initial datum is attained in a strong sense.
