Lipschitz metric for the Hunter-Saxton equation

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

u_{t} + u u_{x} = f r a c 14 (i n t_{- i n f t y}^{x} u_{x}^{2} d x - i n t_{x}^{i} n f t y u_{x}^{2} d x)

with initial data

u_{0}

. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric

d_{D}

with the property that for two solutions

u

and

v

of the equation we have

d_{D} (u (t), v (t)) l e e^{C t} d_{D} (u_{0}, v_{0})

.
