Generalised characteristics in hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with special coupling
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
Using the theory of generalised characteristics, we study the structure of BV solutions of genuinely nonlinear systems of two conservation laws whose shock and rarefaction wave curves of the first family are straight lines. We also establish a priori estimates on the variation of the solution similar to those obtained earlier by Glimm and Lax.
