. Let u(x; t) be the possibly discontinuous entropy solution of a nonlinear scalar conservation law with smoothinitial data. Suppose u " (x; t) is the solution of an approximate viscosity regularization, where " ? 0 is the small viscosityamplitude. We show that by post-processing the small viscosity approximation u " , we can recover pointwise values of u and itsderivatives with an error as close to " as desired.The analysis relies on the adjoint problem of the forward error equation, which ...
