	abstract = {<p>We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish non branching geodesic space. We show that we can reduce the transport problem to 1-dimensional transport problems along geodesics. We introduce an assumption on the transport problem π which implies that the conditional probabilities of the first marginal on each geodesic are continuous. It is known that this regularity is sufficient for the construction of an optimal transport map.</p>},

	abstract = {We investigate the equation $(u_t + (f(u))_x)_x = f\\\'\\\'(u) (u_x)^2/2$ where $f(u)$ is a given smooth function. Typically $f(u)= u^2/2$ or $u^3/3$. This equation models unidirectional and weakly nonlinear waves for the variational wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u) (c(u)u_x)_x =0$ which models some liquid crystals with a natural sinusoidal $c$. The equation itself is also the Euler-Lagrange equation of a variational problem. Two natural classes of solutions can be associated with this equation. A conservative solution will preserve its energy in time, while a dissipative weak solution loses energy at the time when singularities appear. Conservative solutions are globally defined, forward and backward in time, and preserve interesting geometric features, such as the Hamiltonian structure. On the other hand, dissipative solutions appear to be more natural from the physical point of view.\\nWe establish the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem within the class of conservative solutions, for initial data having finite energy and assuming that the flux function $f$ has Lipschitz continuous second-order derivative. In the case where $f$ is convex, the Cauchy problem is well-posed also within the class of dissipative solutions. However, when $f$ is not convex, we show that the dissipative solutions do not depend continuously on the initial data.},

Several chemical substances are partly dissolved in the liquid, partly deposited on the solid bed. Their concentrations are represented respectively by the vectors $u=(u_1,\\\\ldots,u_n)$ and $v=(v_1,\\\\ldots,v_n)$.  We show that, if the initial data have small total variation, then the solution of (1) remains with small variation for all times $t\\\\geq 0$. Moreover, using the $\\\\L^1$ distance, this solution depends Lipschitz continuously on the initial data, with a Lipschitz constant uniform w.r.t.~$\\\\ve$.

It is shown that the components of the gradients $v_x,u_x$ can be interpreted as densities of random particles travelling with speed 0 or 1. The amount of coupling between different components is estimated in terms of the expected number of crossing of these random particles.

Its purpose  is to provide an account of some recent advances in the mathematical theory of  hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. After a brief  review of basic concepts, we describe in detail the method of wave-front tracking  approximation and present some of the latest results on uniqueness and stability  of entropy weak solutions.},

In this paper we explicitly define a functional $\\\\Phi=\\\\Phi(u,v)$, equivalent to the $L^1$ distance, which is {\textquoteleft}almost decreasing\\\', i.e., $\\\\Phi(u(t),v(t))-\\\\Phi(u(s),v(s))\\\\leq\\\\break O (\\\\epsilon){\textperiodcentered}(t-s)$ for all $t>s\\\\geq 0$, for every pair of $\\\\epsilon$-approximate solutions $u,v$ with small total variation, generated by a wave-front-tracking algorithm. The small parameter $\\\\epsilon$ here controls the errors in the wave speeds, the maximum size of rarefaction fronts and the total strength of all non-physical waves in $u$ and in $v$. From the above estimate, it follows that front-tracking approximations converge to a unique limit solution, depending Lipschitz continuously on the initial data, in the $L^1$ norm. This provides a new proof of the existence of the standard Riemann semigroup generated by an $n\\\\times n$ system of conservation laws.\\\'\\\'},

The set of equivalence classes can be put in a one-to-one correspondence with a discrete family of graphs. This provides a classification of the global structure of generic time-optimal stabilizing feedbacks in the plane, analogous to the classification of smooth dynamical systems developed by Peixoto.},
