We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

On the Stability of the Standard Riemann Semigroup

Abstract
We consider the dependence of the entropic solution of a hyperbolic system of conservation laws $\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} u_i =f(u)_x =0\\ u(0,\cdot ) =u_0 \end{array} \right\}$ on the flux function f. We prove that the solution in Lipschitz continuous w.r.t. the $C^0$ norm of the derivative of the perturbation of f. We apply this result to prove the convergence of the solution of the relativistic Euler equation to the classical limit.
