Abstract

Starting with the theory of weak discontinuities, an expression for the point at which the solution itself becomes discontinuous is derived. The formula is readily applicable to multidimensional hyperbolic systems, with arbitrary initial data. Detailed application to gasdynamics is given, with explicit results for an atmosphere with exponentially decaying density.
