Contractive metrics for scalar conservation laws

Analysis of PDEs 2013-09-19 v1

Abstract

We consider nondecreasing entropy solutions to 1-d scalar conservation laws and show that the spatial derivatives of such solutions satisfy a contraction property with respect to the Wasserstein distance of any order. This result extends the L^1-contraction property shown by Kruzkov.
