It is shown that both the viscous and the relaxation approximation of a scalar conservation law \(u_t+f (u)_x=0\) possess the same shock profiles. For both types of profiles \(L^1\)-stability results under zero mass perturbations have been established. In the viscous case, \textit{H. Freistühler} and \textit{D. Serre} [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 51, No. 3, 291-301 (1988; Zbl 0907.76046)] used the fact that constant states are stable with respect to perturbations of mass zero. In the present paper, the author gives an alternative proof of this key step. A similar theorem is then proved for the relaxation approximation in the special case of a linear flux. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00019].
