Rotational degeneracy of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

TLDR
In this paper, the authors study wave patterns of hyperbolic systems in which rotational symmetry creates a specific kind of degeneracy, and they give a unified presentation of examples from continuum mechanics.
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to study wave patterns of hyperbolic systems in which rotational symmetry creates a specific kind of degeneracy. In this situation hyperbolicity is necessarily non-strict, so that the elementary waves have interesting patterns. The discussion is centered around a theorem on existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Riemann problem. We give a unified presentation of examples from continuum mechanics

Well-Posedness for a Class of Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws in Several Space Dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, a system of conservation laws in several space dimensions whose nonlinearity is due only to the modulus of the solution is considered, using standard methods from DiPerna-Lions theory.

Nonuniqueness of solutions of Riemann problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a general mechanism for nonuniqueness of solutions of Riemann initial-value problems for systems of two conservation laws was proposed, which occurs whenever there exists a pair of viscous shock waves forming a 2-cycle, i.e., two statesU 1 and U 2 such that a traveling wave leads fromU 1 to U 2 and another leads from U 2 to U 1.

Nonlinear stability of overcompressive shock waves in a rotationally invariant system of viscous conservation laws

Formation of singularities in one‐dimensional nonlinear wave propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the system (1) is "genuinely nonlinear" in a sense defined below, and if the initial data are "sufficiently small" (but not identically 0), the first derivatives of u will become infinite for certain (x, t) with t > 0.
