Abstract

Denote by u and v solutions to a strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws. We show that if we assume a functional dependence then the function “defines” Riemann invariants through an ordinary differential equation for the unknown function

Keywords

Riemann invariants, hyperbolic conservation laws.
