ERROR ESTIMATES FOR SCALAR CONSERVATION LAWS BY A KINETIC APPROACH A. OMRANE Received 13 March 2006; Accepted 13 April 2006 We use the kinetic approach of Perthame and Tadmor (1991) to calculate the error esti- mates for general scalar conservation laws governing problems in gas dynamics or fluid ˇ mechanics in general. The Kruzkov and Kuznetsov techniques are generalized to this method, and an error bound of order √ε (where ε is the mean free path) is obtained. Copyright © 2006 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
