Riemann problem and wave interactions for the one-dimensional relativistic string equation in Minkowski space. (English) Zbl 1442.35258

Summary: In this paper, we consider the Riemann problem for the one-dimensional relativistic string equation in Minkowski space. It is shown that the delta shock wave will be constructed in the Riemann solutions in some certain situations. Furthermore, the interactions of elementary waves including contact discontinuity and delta shock wave are obtained.
