Abstract
We propose a notion of weak solution for certain nonlinear contractive equations: ‘dissipative solution’. We show that this notion coincides with the viscosity solutions for Hamilton–Jacobi equations, as introduced by Crandall and Lions, and with the entropy solutions for conservation laws introduced by Kružkov. The proposed notion is based on the properties of accretive operators.
