The paper deals with the numerical approximation of initial boundary value problems in the quarter plane, \(x>0\), \(t>0\), by means of the Godunov scheme. Under some classical assumptions - strict hyperbolicity, noncharacteristic boundary, existence of a strictly convex entropy - as well as a technical one - that is satisfied in most interesting cases - , the authors show that, for compatible initial and boundary data, the numerical solution converges, as the mesh size goes to zero, to the local-in-time smooth exact solution given by the theory of T.-T. Li and W.-C. Yu [Boundary value problems for quasilinear hyperbolic systems (1985; Zbl 0627.35001)]. The proof of the convergence, which holds - provided that the initial data are constant outside a bounded interval - in \(L^\infty(0,T;L^2(0,+\infty))\), \(T>0\) small enough, is based on entropy estimates. Some numerical experiments concerning the Lagrangian isentropic gas dynamics are provided. They show the existence of a boundary layer, as expected, in view of the viscous approximation analysis previously made by M. Gisclon [J. Math. Pures Appl., IX. Sér. 75, No. 5, 485-508 (1996; Zbl 0869.35061)] (see also M. Gisclon and D. Serre [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 319, No. 4, 377-382 (1994; Zbl 0808.35075)]).
