This paper deals with relaxation approximations of nonlinear systems of hyperbolic balance laws. We introduce a class of relaxation schemes and establish their stability and convergence to the solution of hyperbolic balance laws before the formation of shocks, provided that we are within the framework of the compensated compactness method. Our analysis treats systems of hyperbolic balance laws with source terms satisfying a special mechanism which induces weak dissipation in the spirit of Dafermos [Hyperbolic systems of balance laws with weak dissipation, J. Hyp. Diff. Equations 3 (2006) 505–527.], as well as hyperbolic balance laws with more general source terms. The rate of convergence of the relaxation system to a solution of the balance laws in the smooth regime is established. Our work follows in spirit the analysis presented by [Ch. Arvanitis, Ch. Makridakis and A. E. Tzavaras, Stability and convergence of a class of finite element schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 42(4) (2004) 1357–1393]; [S. Jin and X. Xin, The relaxation schemes for systems of conservation laws in arbitrary space dimensions, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 48 (1995) 235–277] for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws without source terms.

We study one class of nonlinear fluid dynamic models with impulse source terms. The model consists of a system of two hyperbolic conservation laws: a nonlinear conservation law for the goods density and a linear evolution equation for the processing rate. We consider the case when influx-rates in the second equation take the form of impulse functions. Using the vanishing viscosity method and the so-called principle of fictitious controls, we show that entropy solutions to the original Cauchy problem can be approximated by optimal solutions of special optimization problems.
