 Entropy flux for a scalar conservation law

A convex entropy $\eta$ is paired with any flux antiderivative satisfying $q^{\prime }(z)={\eta }^{\prime }(z)f^{\prime }(z)$ almost everywhere. Its admissibility inequality is ${\partial }_t\eta (u)+{\partial }_{x}q(u)\le 0$ distributionally, with the matching initial entropy trace. Affine entropies $\eta (z)=\pm z$ recover the weak formulation, while bounded classical solutions satisfy equality for smooth entropies and then by approximation for piecewise smooth convex entropies.
