Abstract: A compactness framework and a convergence theorem for the Lax-Friedrichs scheme and the Godunov scheme applied to the Cauchy problem for a $2 \times 2$ nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws are established. The existence of weak solutions is proved using the theory of compensated compactness of Tartar, Murat, DiPerna, and Serre.
