Sonic Phase Transitions and Chapman-Jouguet Detonations

Andrea Corli

We show that the initial-value problem for an $ n\times n$ system of strictly hyperbolic conservation laws in one space dimension admits a weak global solution also in presence of sonic phase boundaries. Applications to Chapman-Jouguet detonations and elastodynamics are considered.
