One of the most thoroughly studied nonlinear partial differential equation is the inviscid Burgers` equation (1.1) u{sub t} + uu{sub x} = 0, which was often used as a prototype model for study of conservation laws. The solutions of (1.1) is characterized as the {nu} {yields} 0+ limit of solutions of Burgers` equation (1.2) u{sub t}+ uu{sub x} = {nu}u{sub xx}. Burgers` equation (1.1) and (1.2) with white noise as initial value (1.3) u(x,0) = W(x) was originally proposed by Burgers [B] as a model for turbulence. 11 refs.
