A multitype sticky particle construction of Wasserstein stable semigroups solving one-dimensional diagonal hyperbolic systems with large monotonic data (Q2831995)

The authors study the Cauchy problem for diagonal hyperbolic quasilinear systems NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \partial_t u^\gamma+\lambda^\gamma(u)\partial_x u^\gamma=0, \quad u^\gamma(0,x)=u_0^\gamma(x),\quad \gamma=1,\ldots,n, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with bounded nondecreasing initial functions \(u_0^\gamma(x)\). They introduce a multitype version of sticky particle dynamics and used it to establish the existence of a global probabilistic solution of the problem under consideration. Moreover, uniform stability estimates on the particle systems allow to construct nonlinear semigroups of solutions. These semigroup solutions are proved to satisfy stability estimates in Wasserstein distances of all order, which generalizes the results known for scalar conservation laws.
