Consider the Cauchy problem for a hyperbolic n × n system of conservation laws in one space dimension: ut + f(u)x = 0, u(0,x) = ¯ u(x). (CP) Relying on the existence of a continuous semigroup of solutions, we prove that the entropy ad- missible solution of (CP) is unique within the class of functions u = u(t,x) which have bounded variation along a suitable family of space-like curves.
