Existence and Lipschitz stability for $α$-dissipative solutions of the two-component Hunter-Saxton system (1610.05673v1)

Abstract: We establish the concept of $\alpha$-dissipative solutions for the two-component Hunter-Saxton system under the assumption that either $\alpha(x)=1$ or $0\leq \alpha(x)<1$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$. Furthermore, we investigate the Lipschitz stability of solutions with respect to time by introducing a suitable parametrized family of metrics in Lagrangian coordinates. This is necessary due to the fact that the solution space is not invariant with respect to time.
