Abstract: This work proves the convergence of stochastic nonlocal conservation laws, with spatially inhomogeneous noise, to stochastic conservation laws when the range of particle interaction vanishes. This provides rigorous justification for a class of stochastic conservation laws that has received considerable attention in the last decade. To handle technical challenges such as gradient-dependent noise, modified versions of the equations with specific cutoff boundaries are utilized and new uniform estimates to ensure stability during the limiting process are established. In addition, the work demonstrates that this convergence depends on the presence of a viscous term, as a counterexample shows that without it, the limiting solution may fail to be an entropy solution.
