Lipschitz metric for the Hunter–Saxton equation

Alberto Bressan, Helge Holden and Xavier Raynaud

Abstract: We study stability of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Hunter–Saxton equation

ut+uux=¼(∫(−∞,x) ux2dx−∫(x,∞) ux2dx)

with initial data u0. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric dD with the property that for two solutions u and v of the equation we have dD(u(t),v(t))≤eCtdD(u0,v0).
