The authors consider the Riemann problem for a strictly hyperbolic system of two conservation laws from magnetohydrodynamics. The system is considered from the point of view of weak solutions. Generally a solution to such problem is a combination of shock waves, contact discontinuities, rarefaction waves, and delta shock waves. It is shown how the solutions continue beyond points of interaction of these types of solutions. A type of generalized solution is introduced: delta contact discontinuity. A complete description of all global solutions with initial data given by two jump points and three constant states is presented.
