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

This paper is devoted to the study of diagonal hyperbolic systems in one space dimension, with cumulative distribution functions or, more generally, nonconstant monotonic bounded functions as initial data. Under a uniform strict hyperbolicity assumption on the characteristic fields, we construct a multi-type version of the sticky particle dynamics and we obtain the existence of global weak solutions via a compactness argument. We then derive a [Formula: see text] stability estimate on the particle system which is uniform in the number of particles. This allows us to construct nonlinear semigroups solving the system in the sense of Bianchini and Bressan [Vanishing viscosity solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic systems, Ann. of Math. (2) 161(1) (2005) 223–342]. We also obtain that these semigroup solutions satisfy a stability estimate in Wasserstein distances of all order, which extends the classical [Formula: see text] estimate and generalizes to diagonal systems a result by Bolley, Brenier and Loeper [Contractive metrics for scalar conservation laws, J. Hyperbolic Differ. Equ. 2(1) (2005) 91–107] in the scalar case. Our results are established without any smallness assumption on the variation of the data, and we only require the characteristic fields to be Lipschitz continuous and the system to be uniformly strictly hyperbolic.

Approximate Fixed Point Sequences of Nonlinear Semigroups in Metric Spaces

In this paper, we investigate the common approximate fixed point sequences of nonexpansive semigroups of nonlinear mappings {T1}t≥0, i.e., a family such that T0(x) = x, Ts+t = Ts(Tt(x)), where the domain is a metric space (M; d). In particular, we prove that under suitable conditions the common approximate fixed point sequences set is the same as the common approximate fixed point sequences set of two mappings from the family. Then we use the Ishikawa iteration to construct a common approximate fixed point sequence of nonexpansive semigroups of nonlinear mappings.
