In this article we consider the initial value problem for a scalar conservation law in one space dimension with a spatially discontinuous flux. There may be infinitely many flux discontinuities, and the set of discontinuities may have accumulation points. Thus the existence of traces cannot be assumed. In [6] Audusse and Perthame proved a uniqueness result that does not require the existence of traces, using adapted entropies. We generalize the Godunov-type scheme of Adimurthi, Jaffre and Gowda [2] for this problem with the following assumptions on the flux function, (i) the flux is BV in the spatial variable and (ii) the critical point of the flux is BV as a function of the space variable. We prove that the Godunov approximations converge to an adapted entropy solution, thus providing an existence result, and extending the convergence result of Adimurthi, Jaffre and Gowda. |
