We consider a nonlinear system of conservation laws, which is strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear in the large, equipped with a convex entropy function and global Riemann invariants. Nevertheless, for such a system of dimension five, it is shown that uniqueness of the similarity solution of a R

We study the Cauchy problem for systems of conservation laws which belong to the Temple class. The compensated-compactness theory is used to prove existence of solutions. Some uniqueness results are established by means of Holmgren's principle.
The proof of Theorem 4.1 requires correction. The theorem is correct as stated, and the basic method of proof is valid. Only the method for making det A' negative is erroneous. Before giving the details, we make several general comments. The linear transformation (in particular valid for weak solu
