\item Evans, p.~163 problem 3.

\item (From Evans, p.\ 164, Question 13.) Let $u \in C(\R \times
[0,T])$ for some $T>0$ be an integral solution to the scalar
conservation law
  \begin{gather*}
    u_t + F(u)_x = 0 \qquad \text{in } \R \times (0,T) \,, \\
    u = g \qquad \text{on } \R \times \{ t=0 \} \,.
  \end{gather*}
  Assume further that for any fixed $t \in [0,T]$, $u(\,\cdot\,,t)$ has
  compact support in $\R$, and that $F(0)=0$.  Show that
\[
  \int_\R u(x,t) \, dx = \int_\R g(x) \, dx 
\]
for every $t \in [0,T]$.
\end{enumerate}
