Abstract: We study the L2-type contraction property of large perturbations around shock waves of scalar viscous conservation laws with strictly convex fluxes in one space dimension. The contraction holds up to a shift, and it is measured by a weighted related entropy, for which we choose an appropriate entropy associated with the strictly convex flux. In particular, we handle shocks with small amplitude. This result improves the recent article [18] of the author and Vasseur on L2-contraction property of shocks to scalar viscous conservation laws with a special flux, that is almost the Burgers flux.


The author proves \(L^2\)-stability (up to a shift) of viscous shock solutions of a scalar viscous conservation law \(u_t+f(u)_x=u_{xx}\) with a strictly convex flux \(f\). For the proof the weighted relative entropy method is utilized.
