Under suitable assumptions, we prove that the corresponding Cauchy problem admits a unique solution, which depends H\\\\\\\"older continuously on the initial data.\\nOur result applies in particular to the case where $f$ can be written in the form $f(t,x)\\\\doteq g\\\\big( u(t,x)\\\\big)$, for some function $g$ and some solution $u$ of a scalar conservation law, say $u_t+F(u)_x=0$. In turn, this yields the uniqueness and continuous dependence of solutions to a class of $2\\\\times 2$ strictly hyperbolic systems, with initial data in $\\\\L^\\\\infty$.1 aBressan, Alberto1 aShen, Wen  uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/3699
