A Difference Scheme for a Stiff System of Conservation Laws

Abstract: A stiff system of conservation laws is analyzed with a difference method. The existence of entropy-satisfying BV-solutions to the initial value problems is estabilished. Furthermore, we show that the solutions converge to the solutions of the corresponding equilibrium system as the relaxation time tends to zero.
