The structure of solutions near a sonic line in gas dynamics via the pressure gradient equation (Q298100)

The purpose of this paper is to study the two dimensional pressure gradient equation \[ \begin{cases} u_t+p_x=0 \\v_t+p_y=0 \\p_t+pu_x+pv_y=0. \end{cases} \eqno{(1)} \] The first theorem states that there is a classic solution to (1) in the so-called hyperbolic region, which satisfies certain boundary conditions. Another theorem states that there is a classic solution to (1) for new coordinates in a certain strong domain. The proofs use Lipschitz continuity and Cauchy sequences.
