This is a compact survey on recent major results in the theory of systems of conservation laws. The emphasis lies on the existence and well-posedness theory for hyperbolic systems with initial data of small variation developed by the author and his co-workers during the last decade. After a short discussion of the Riemann problem, the front tracking approximation is introduced which via estimates on the strength of wave interactions leads to an existence theorem for initial data with sufficiently small total variation. To get uniqueness and Lipschitz continuity with respect to initial conditions a nonlinear functional is used which measures the \(L^1\)-distance between pairs of solutions. This functional can be shown to decrease in time which in particular implies uniqueness within the class of solutions constructed as limits of front tracking approximations. Since these solutions only depend on the way Riemann problems are solved the associated flow is called the Riemann semigroup. To be able to compare these solutions to solutions found by other methods, e.g. the Glimm scheme, conditions are given which are sufficient to guarantee uniqueness within the class of weak entropy solutions. The last parts of the review are concerned with the vanishing viscosity problem where the hyperbolic system is approximated by a parabolic system with small viscosity. It is shown how the ideas which were used in the hyperbolic theory (TV bounds, Lyapunov functionals) can be modified in order to prove that the solutions of the parabolic problem converge in \(L^1_{loc}\) to solutions of the hyperbolic system. The paper concludes with a sketch of the proof of this important convergence result by Bianchini and Bressan. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1033.00012].
