| contents | We investigate the well-posedness of scalar conservation laws whose flux depends on the solution both pointwise and nonlocally through integral averages. Our analysis is based on a fixed-point formulation, in which the nonlocal dependence is incorporated as a space- and time-dependent component of the flux, together with classical stability estimates for entropy solutions. This framework unifies and extends several models previously considered in the literature and applies, in particular, to conservation laws with memory effects (nonlocality in time) or delay. We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak entropy solutions on a sufficiently short time horizon and show that under additional assumptions, existence and uniqueness can be obtained on any finite time horizon. In addition, we present numerical simulations to illustrate the qualitative effects of memory on the solution dynamics. |
