Extract

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