Abstract

This paper considers the viscous approximations to conservation laws with nonconvex flux function. It is shown that if the entropy solutions are piecewise smooth, then the rate of L 1 - convergence is a fractional number in (0.5, 1). This is in contrast to the corresponding result for the convex conservation laws. Numerical experiments indicate that the theoretical prediction for the convergence rate is optimal.
