Abstract

We study the parabolic approximation of a multidimensional scalar conservation law with initial and boundary conditions. We prove that the rate of convergence of the viscous approximation to the weak entropy solution is of order η1/3, where η is the size of the artificial viscosity. We use a kinetic formulation and kinetic techniques for initial-boundary value problems developed by the last two authors in a previous work.
