Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We propose two approaches which allow us to construct probabilistic representations of classical and viscosity solutions of the Cauchy problem for a system of quasilinear parabolic equations. Based on these representations, we develop two numerical algorithms to construct the required solution. The system under consideration arises as a mathematical model of parabolic conservation laws.
