Abstract
We propose new Kruzhkov type entropy conditions for one dimensional scalar conservation law with a discontinuous flux. We prove existence and uniqueness of the entropy admissible weak solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem merely under assumptions on the flux which provide the maximum principle. In particular, we allow multiple flux crossings and we do not need any kind of genuine nonlinearity conditions.

Entropy conditions for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed new entropy admissibility conditions for multidimensional hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux which generalize one-dimensional Karlsen-Risebro-Towers entropy conditions.

On interface transmission conditions for conservation laws with discontinuous flux of general shape

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce and exploit the idea of transmission maps for the interface condition at the discontinuity, leading to the well-posedness for the Cauchy problem with general shape of fl, r. The design and convergence of monotone Finite Volume schemes based on one-sided approximate Riemann solvers are then assessed.

Velocity averaging -- a general framework

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the sequence of averaged quantities is strongly precompact in the sense that the coefficients can be discontinuous with respect to the space variable, unless the coefficients are continuous functions.

Convergence of a Godunov scheme for conservation laws with a discontinuous flux lacking the crossing condition

TL;DR: In this article, a scalar conservation law whose flux has a single spatial discontinuity is studied, and the authors focus on the notion of entropy solution, the relevant concept being determined by the application.

Structure of Solutions of Multidimensional Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux and Applications to Uniqueness

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the structure of solutions of conservation laws with discontinuous flux under quite general assumption on the flux and showed that any entropy solution admits traces on the discontinuity set of the coefficients and used this to prove the validity of a generalized Kato inequality for any pair of solutions.

Microlocal defect measures

TL;DR: In this paper, weak continuity of quadratic forms on spaces of L 2 solutions of systems of partial differential equations is studied. But defect measures on the space of positions and frequencies are not defined.
