Riemann Problem for a limiting system in elastodynamics

Anupam Pal Choudhury

Abstract:
This article concerns the resolution of the Riemann problem for a 2x2 system in nonconservative form exhibiting parabolic degeneracy. The system can be perceived as the limiting equation (depending on a parameter tending to 0) of a 2x2 strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear, non-conservative system arising in context of a model in elastodynamics.
