We consider the Cauchy problem for the (strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear) system of conservation laws with relaxation Assume there exists an equilibrium curve A(u), such that r(u,A(u)) = 0. Under some assumptions on σ and r, we prove the existence of global (in time) solutions of bounded variation, uε, υε, for ε > 0 fixed.

As ε → 0, we prove the convergence of a subsequence of uε, υε to some u, υ that satisfy the equilibrium equations
