Regularity estimates for scalar conservation laws in one space dimension

We deal with the regularizing effect that, in scalar conservation laws in one space dimension, the nonlinearity of the flux function [Formula: see text] has on the entropy solution. More precisely, if the set [Formula: see text] is dense, the regularity of the solution can be expressed in terms of [Formula: see text] spaces, where [Formula: see text] depends on the nonlinearity of [Formula: see text]. If moreover the set [Formula: see text] is finite, under the additional polynomial degeneracy condition at the inflection points, we prove that [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text] and that this can be improved to [Formula: see text] regularity except an at most countable set of singular times. Finally, we present some examples that show the sharpness of these results and counterexamples to related questions, namely regularity in the kinetic formulation and a property of the fractional BV spaces.
