In this paper, we propose a time-dependent viscous system and by using the vanishing viscosity method we show the existence of solutions for the Riemann problem to a particular 2 × 2 system of conservation laws with linear damping.

Using the viscosity-capillarity admissibility criterion for shock waves, we solve the Riemann problem for the system of conservation lawswhere σ(u) = u3 − u. This system is hyperbolic at (u, v) unless . We find that the Riemann problem has a unique solution for all data in the hyperbolic regions, except for a range of data in the same phase (i.e. on the same side of the nonhyperbolic strip). In the nonunique cases, there are exactly two admissible solutions. The analysis is based upon a formula describing all saddle-to-saddle heteroclinic orbits for a family of cubic vector fields in the plane.
