We demonstrate an a posteriori error estimate in the L1 norm for front-tracking approximate solutions to hyperbolic systems of nonlinear conservation laws. Starting with the L1 -stability result of Bressan, Liu, and Yang, we use their L1 -equivalent functional for pairs of front-tracking approximations and identify the leading order contribution to the numerical error. Our measure for the error explicitly identifies the local sources of errors within front-tracking approximations. We also show that these local error estimators are necessary and sufficient global error estimators. We apply the estimate to a new and wider class of front-tracking approximations, which includes the approximations of Risebro.
