Singular shocks were first devised over 20 years ago as a tool to resolve some otherwise intractable Riemann problems for hyperbolic conservation laws. Although they appeared at first to be merely a mathematical curiosity, new applications suggest that they may have some greater significance. In this paper, I recount the story of their discovery, which owes much to Michelle Schatzmann, describe some of their old and new appearances, and suggest intriguing possible connections with change of type in conservation law systems.
期刊介绍:
Confluentes Mathematici is a mathematical research journal. Since its creation in 2009 by the Institut Camille Jordan UMR 5208 and the Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées UMR 5669 of the Université de Lyon, it reflects the wish of the mathematical community of Lyon—Saint-Étienne to participate in the new forms of scientific edittion. The journal is electronic only, fully open acces and without author charges. The journal aims to publish high quality mathematical research articles in English, French or German. All domains of Mathematics (pure and applied) and Mathematical Physics will be considered, as well as the History of Mathematics. Confluentes Mathematici also publishes survey articles. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the expository style of their article, in order to be understood by all the communities concerned.
