Formation of Singularities of Solutions for Cauchy Problem of Quasilinear Hyperbolic Systems with Dissipative Terms

Abstract

ln this paper, for a class of 2 × 2 quasilinear hyperbolic systems, we get existence theorems of the global smooth solutions of its Cauchy problem, under a certain hypotheses. In addition, Tor two concrete quasilinear hyperbolic systems, we study the formation of the singularities of the C¹-solution to its Cauchy problem.
