Construction of solutions to M-D Riemann problems for a \(2\times 2\) quasilinear hyperbolic system (Q1364968)

The author studies M-D Riemann problems for a quasilinear nonstrictly hyperbolic system. The initial data are taken as three different constants in three sections divided by three rays starting from the origin. From each direction of these rays two waves coming from infinity are allowed. All possible local singularity structures are carefully studied and classified. Then based on such analysis, existence and global singularity structure of the solution are obtained under some assumptions.
