Abstract
We prove existence and uniqueness of Radon measure-valued solutions of the Cauchy problem for a first order scalar hyperbolic conservation law in one space dimension, the initial data being a finite superposition of Dirac masses and the flux being Lipschitz continuous, bounded and sufficiently smooth. The novelty of the paper is the introduction of a compatibility condition which, combined with standard entropy conditions, guarantees uniqueness.
