During the war he was evacuated to Chelyabinsk together with his mother, while his father, a chemical engineer, worked at a defense factory. After the war their family returned to Moscow. Anatolii graduated from Moscow School no. 434 with a gold medal and, intending to follow in his father’s footsteps, enrolled at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, the Division of Thermal Physics. At that time M. I. Vishik, who was well known for his work on partial differential equations, read mathematics courses at the Institute. The talented student became interested in these lectures, and after his 3rd year at Power Engineering Institute, he decided to transfer to the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University. After solving the tricky problem of being transferred to another university, Stepin became a student at the Department of Theory of Functions and Functional Analysis, and chose F.A.

The system of equations has a rather general form and, in particular, can describe the longitudinal and torsional non-linear waves in elastic rods in the simplest setting and also one-dimensional waves in unbounded elastic media. The properties of discontinuities in solutions of these equations have been investigated earlier under the assumption that only the relations following from the conservation laws for the longitudinal momentum and angular momentum about the axis of the rod and the displacement continuity condition hold on the discontinuities. The shock adiabat has been studied. This paper deals with stationary discontinuity structures under the assumption that viscosity is the main governing mechanism inside the structure. Some segments of the shock adiabat are shown to correspond to evolutionary discontinuities without structure. It is also shown that there are special discontinuities on which an additional relation must hold, which arises from the condition that a discontinuity structure exists. The additional relation depends on the processes in the structure. Special discontinuities satisfy evolutionary conditions that differ from the well-known Lax conditions. Conclusions are discussed, which can also be of interest in the case of other systems of hyperbolic equations.
