## On the concentration of entropy for scalar conservation laws

Received  September 2014 Revised  February 2015 Published  December 2015

We prove that the entropy for an $L^\infty$-solution to a scalar conservation laws with continuous initial data is concentrated on a countably $1$-rectifiable set. To prove this result we introduce the notion of Lagrangian representation of the solution and give regularity estimates on the solution.
