## Stability of a superposition of shock waves with contact discontinuities for the Jin-Xin relaxation system

 1 Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, China

Received  December 2014 Revised  May 2015 Published  June 2015

In this paper, we consider the time-asymptotic stability of a superposition of shock waves with contact discontinuities for the one dimensional Jin-Xin relaxation system with small initial perturbations, provided that the strengths of waves are small with the same order. The results are obtained by elementary weighted energy estimates based on the underlying wave structure and a delicate decay estimate on the heat kernel in Huang-Li-Matsumura [5].
