Lower Semicontinuity of Weighted Path Length in BV
Paolo Baiti and Alberto Bressan
Abstract:
We establish some basic lower semicontinuity properties for
a class of weighted metrics in $BV$. These Riemann-type
metrics, uniformly equivalent to the $L^1$ distance, are
defined in terms of the Glimm interaction potential. They
are relevant in the study of nonlinear hyperbolic systems
of conservation laws, being contractive w.r.t. the
corresponding flow of solutions.
