The unique limit of the Glimm scheme. (English) Zbl 0835.35088
The author considers a nonlinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws and shows that, in some circumstances, if there exists a standard Riemann semigroup $$S_t$$, a function $$u$$ is a viscosity solution of the system if and only if $$u(t, \cdot)= S_t u(0, \cdot)$$.
