Abstract

Consider a system of hyperbolic conservation laws with the property that the Hugoniot curves and the characteristic curves are identical. We show that there exists a simple nonlinear functional, which yields the L1-well posedness of the Cauchy problem. The functional contains a Glimm functional and a nonlinear coupling functional. For the construction of the linear functional, we introduce scalar conservation laws, which yield particular solutions of the system.
