We propose to solve hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with polynomial flux using a convex optimization strategy.This approach is based on a very weak notion of solution of the nonlinear equation,namely the measure-valued (mv) solution,satisfying a linear equation in the space of Borel measures.The aim of this paper is,first,to provide the conditions that ensure the equivalence between the two formulations and,second,to introduce a method which approximates the infinite-dimensional linear problem by a hierarchy of convex,finite-dimensional,semidefinite programming problems.This result is then illustrated on the celebrated Burgers equation.We also compare our results with an existing numerical scheme,namely the Godunov scheme.
