This happens when the speed of a shock is close to rational, inducing a resonance with the grid. Differently from the Glimm scheme or the vanishing viscosity method, for systems of conservation laws our counterexample indicates that no a priori BV bounds or $L^1$ stability estimates can in general be valid for finite difference schemes.1 aBressan, Alberto1 aJenssen, Helge Kristian1 aBaiti, Paolo  uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/2183
