## Continuous dependence in $$L^ 2$$ for discontinuous solutions of the viscous $$p$$-system.(English)Zbl 0836.35157

Summary: We prove that discontinuous solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for isentropic or isothermal flow depend continuously on their initial data in $$L^2$$. This improves earlier results in which continuous dependence was known only in a much stronger norm, a norm inappropriately strong for the physical model. We also apply our continuous dependence theory to obtain improved rates of convergence for certain finite difference approximations.
