Abstract

We construct a class of 3 × 3 systems of conservation laws with all characteristic fields genuinely nonlinear, and we show the existence of entropy solutions for these that blow up in sup-norm in finite time. The solutions are constructed by considering wave patterns where infinitely many shock waves are produced in finite time. We also consider the role of entropies as a mechanism for preventing this type of singular behavior.
