On 2x2 conservation laws with large data

We deal with a strictly hyperbolic system of two conservation laws in one spatial dimension. One of the eigenvalues of the system is of Temple type (rarefaction and shock curves coincide), the other eigenvalue is only required to be genuinely nonlinear.We consider the initial value problem for data of the following kind: the total variation of the Temple component is bounded, possibly large, while the total variation of the other component is small. For such data we prove global existence, uniqueness and L⊃-Lipschitz continuous dependence of solutions.AMS Subject Classification: Primary 35L65; Secondary 35D05, 35L45.
