Item Description:This work is based on the lecture notes of the course M742: Topics in Partial Differential Equations, which I taught in the Spring semester of 1997 at Indiana University. My main intention in this course was to give a concise introduction to solving two-dimensional compressible Euler equations with Riemann data, which are special Cauchy data. This book covers new theoretical developments in the field over the past decade or so. Necessary knowledge of one-dimensional Riemann problems is reviewed and some popular numerical schemes are presented. Multi-dimensional conservation laws are more physical and the time has come to study them. The theory on basic one-dimensional conservation laws isfairly complete providing solid foundation for multi-dimensional problems. The rich theory on elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations has great potential in applications to multi-dimensional conservation laws. And faster computers make it possible to reveal numerically more details for theoretical pursuit in multi-dimensional problems. Overview and highlights Chapter 1 is an overview of the issues that concern us in this book. It lists the Euler system and related models such as the unsteady transonic small disturbance, pressure-gradient, and pressureless systems. It describes Mach reflection and the von Neumann paradox. In Chapters 2-4, which form Part I of the book, we briefly present the theory of one-dimensional conservation laws, which includes solutions to the Riemann problems for the Euler system and general strictly hyperbolic and genuinely nonlinear systems, Glimm's scheme, and large-time asymptoties
