Abstract: Consider the Cauchy problem for a strictly hyperbolic, NimesN quasilinear system in one space dimension u_t+A(u) u_x=0,qquad u(0,x)=�ar u(x), eqno (1) where umapstoA(u) is a smooth matrix-valued map, and the initial data overlineu is assumed to have small total variation. We investigate the rate of convergence of approximate solutions of (1) constructed by the Glimm scheme, under the assumption that, letting lambdak(u), rk(u) denote the k-th eigenvalue and a corresponding eigenvector of A(u), respectively, for each k-th characteristic family the linearly degenerate manifold mathcal{M}_k doteq �ig{uinOmega : ablalambda_k(u)cdot r_k(u)=0�ig} is either the whole space, or it is empty, or it consists of a finite number of smooth, N1-dimensional, connected, manifolds that are transversal to the characteristic vector field rk. We introduce a Glimm type functional which is the sum of the cubic interaction potential defined in cite{sie}, and of a quadratic term that takes into account interactions of waves of the same family with strength smaller than some fixed threshold parameter. Relying on an adapted wave tracing method, and on the decrease amount of such a functional, we obtain the same type of error estimates valid for Glimm approximate solutions of hyperbolic systems satisfying the classical Lax assumptions of genuine nonlinearity or linear degeneracy of the characteristic families.
