Abstract: The study on the shock formation and the regularities of the resulting shock surfaces for hyperbolic conservation laws is a basic problem in the nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we are concerned with the shock formation and the optimal regularities of the resulting shock curves for the 1-D conservation law partialtu+partialxf(u)=0 with the smooth initial data u(0,x)=u0(x). If u0(x)inC1(BbbR) and f(u)inC2(BbbR), it is well-known that the solution u will blow up on the time T∗=−frac1ming′(x) when ming′(x)<0 holds for g(x)=f′(u0(x)). Let x0 be a local minimum point of g′(x) such that g′(x0)=ming′(x)<0 and g″(x0)=0, g(3)(x0)>0 (which is called the generic nondegenerate condition), then by Theorem 2 of cite{Le94}, a weak entropy solution u together with the shock curve x=varphi(t)inC2[T∗,T∗+varepsilon) starting from the blowup point (T∗,x∗=x0+g(x0)T∗) can be locally constructed. When the generic nondegenerate condition is violated, namely, when x0 is a local minimum point of g′(x) such that g″(x0)=g(3)(x0)=...=g(2k0)(x0)=0 but g(2k0+1)(x0)>0 for some k0inBbbN with k0ge2; or g(k)(x0)=0 for any kinBbbN and kge2, we will study the shock formation and the optimal regularity of the shock curve x=varphi(t), meanwhile, some precise descriptions on the behaviors of u near the blowup point (T∗,x∗) are given. Our main aims are to show that: around the blowup point, the shock really appears whether the initial data are degenerate with finite orders or with infinite orders; the optimal regularities of the shock solution and the resulting shock curve have the explicit relations with the degenerate degrees of the initial data.
