Abstract: Given a strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear system of conservation laws, we prove the a priori bound on the distance between an exact BV solution u and a viscous approximation uve, letting the viscosity coefficient veo0. In the proof, starting from u we construct an approximation of the viscous solution uve by taking a mollification uphistrutsqrtve and inserting viscous shock profiles at the locations of finitely many large shocks, for each fixed ve. Error estimates are then obtained by introducing new Lyapunov functionals which control shock interactions, interactions between waves of different families and by using sharp decay estimates for positive nonlinear waves.
