Abstract: In this paper, the problem on formation and construction of a multidimensional shock wave is studied for the first order conservation law partialtu+partialxF(u)+partialyG(u)=0 with smooth initial data u0(x,y). It is well-known that the smooth solution u will blow up on the time T∗=−frac1minH(xi,eta) when minH(xi,eta)<0 holds for H(xi,eta)=partialxi(F′(u0(xi,eta)))+partialeta(G′(u0(xi,eta))), more precisely, only the first order derivatives ablat,x,yu blow up on t=T∗ meanwhile u itself is still continuous until t=T∗. Under the generic nondegenerate condition of H(xi,eta), we construct a local weak entropy solution u for tgeT∗ which is not uniformly Lipschitz continuous on two sides of a shock surface Sigma. The strength of the constructed shock is zero on the initial blowup curve Gamma and then gradually increases for t>T∗. Additionally, in the neighbourhood of Gamma, some detailed and precise descriptions on the singularities of solution u are given.
