## Semigroup approach to conservation laws with discontinuous flux

Boris Andreianov

#### Abstract

The model one-dimensional conservation law with discontinuous spatially heterogeneous flux is $u_t + \mathfrak{f}(x,u)_x=0, \quad \mathfrak {f}(x,\cdot)= f^l(x,\cdot)\char_{x<0}\!+f^r(x,\cdot)\char_{x>0}. \eqno (\text{EvPb})$ We prove well-posedness for the Cauchy problem for (\text{EvPb}) in the framework of solutions satisfying the so-called adapted entropy inequalities. Exploiting the notion of integral solution that comes from the nonlinear semigroup theory, we propose a way to circumvent the use of strong interface traces for the evolution problem $(\text{EvPb})$ (in fact, proving existence of such traces for the case of $x$-dependent $f^{l,r}$ would be a delicate technical issue). The difficulty is shifted to the study of the associated one-dimensional stationary problem $u + \mathfrak{f}(x,u)_x=g$, where existence of strong interface traces of entropy solutions is an easy fact. We give a direct proof of this fact, avoiding the subtle arguments of kinetic formulation \cite{KwonVasseur} or of the $H$-measure approach \cite{Panov-trace}.
