Contractive metrics for scalar conservation laws
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 L1-contraction property shown by Kruzkov.
