Error estimates for shock capturing finite element approximations of the one dimensional Burgers' equation

We propose an error analysis in weak norms of a shock capturing finite element method for the Burgers' equation. The estimates can be related to estimates of certain filtered quantities and are robust in the inviscid limit. Using a total variation apriori bound on the discrete solution and an interpolation inequality error estimates in $L^p$-norms can are obtained using interpolation.
