Then we address the problem of developing efficient descent algorithms. We first consider and compare the existing two possible approaches. The first one, the so-called discrete approach, based on a direct computation of gradients in the discrete problem and the so-called continuous one, where the discrete descent direction is obtained as a discrete copy of the continuous one. When optimal solutions have shock discontinuities, both approaches produce highly oscillating minimizing sequences and the effective descent rate is very weak. As a remedy we adapt the method of alternating descent directions that uses the recent developments of generalized tangent vectors and the linearization around discontinuous solutions, introduced by the authors, in collaboration with F. Palacios, in the case where the control is the initial datum. This method distinguishes descent directions that move the shock and those that perturb the profile of the solution away from it. As we shall see, a suitable alternating combination of these two classes of descent directions allows building more efficient and faster descent algorithms.\n                  <\/p>","DOI":"10.1090\/s0025-5718-2011-02465-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,22]],"date-time":"2011-03-22T11:24:45Z","timestamp":1300793085000},"page":"2025-2070","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Flux identification for 1-\ud835\udc1d scalar conservation laws in the presence of shocks"],"prefix":"10.1090","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Carlos","family":"Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Zuazua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"14","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"839","DOI":"10.1016\/S1631-073X(02)02574-8","article-title":"A formalism for the differentiation of conservation laws","volume":"335","author":"Bardos, Claude","year":"2002","journal-title":"C.
