The delta-shock wave for the two variables of a class of Temple system (Q1712459)

The authors study the Riemann problem for the nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws \(\partial_t u+\partial_x(u^2v)=\partial_t v+\partial_x(uv^2)=0\). It is shown that each component of the solution may contain \(\delta\)-shock waves whenever \(uv=0\) for the right state of Riemann data. The authors also solve the generalized Riemann problem when the initial data contains an intermediate state supported on a small segment, and establish stability of the Riemann solution with respect to the perturbation parameter.
