Majda's model of dynamic combustion, consists of the system, (u [plus] q[sub 0]z)[sub t] [plus] f(u)[sub x] = 0, z[sub t] [plus] K[rho](u)z = 0. In this paper the Cauchy problem is considered. A weak entropy solution for this system is defined, existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data are proved, as well as finite propagation speed, for initial data in L[infinity]. The existence is proved via the 'vanishing viscosity method' . Furthermore it is proved that the solution to the Riemann problem converges as t [yields] [infinity] to the Z-N-D traveling wave solution. In the appendices, a second order numerical scheme for the model is described, and some numerical results are presented.
