Our solutions are conservative, in the sense that the total energy $\int (u^2+u_x^2) dx$ remains a.e. constant in time. Our new approach is based on a distance functional $J(u,v)$, defined in terms of an optimal transportation problem, which satisfies ${d\over dt} J(u(t), v(t))\leq κ\cdot J(u(t),v(t))$ for every couple of solutions. Using this new distance functional, we can construct arbitrary solutions as the uniform limit of multi-peakon solutions, and prove a general uniqueness result.29 pages, 3 figuresAnalysis of PDEstext
