Here, we study the Riemann problem for a strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws, which occurs in gas dynamics and nonlinear elasticity. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution of Riemann problem containing delta shock wave by employing self-similar vanishing viscosity approach. We prove that delta shock is stable under self-similar viscosity perturbation, which ensures that delta shock wave is a unique entropy solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
