Minimal Entropy Conditions for Burgers Equations

Camillo De Lellis, Felix Otto, and Michael Westdickenberg

Abstract: We consider stricly convex, 1-d scalar conservation laws. We show that a single strictly convex entropy is sufficient to characterize a Kruzhkov solution. The proof uses the concept of viscosity solution for the related Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
