Abstract:

I will start with a (qualitative) description of a shock wave and give several examples of shock waves. Next I will discuss the framework of conservation laws where solutions are composed such types of (nonlinear) waves. Briefly, I will try to discuss a way to construct a global weak solution to the Cauchy problem.
