Summary.
This paper is devoted to the study of the finite volume methods used in the discretization of conservation laws defined on bounded domains. General assumptions are made on the data: the initial condition and the boundary condition are supposed to be measurable bounded functions. Using a generalized notion of solution to the continuous problem (namely the notion of entropy process solution, see [9]) and a uniqueness result on this solution, we prove that the numerical solution converges to the entropy weak solution of the continuous problem in \(L^p_{loc}\) for every \(p\in [ 1, +\infty)\). This also yields a new proof of the existence of an entropy weak solution.
