Solution of a transport equation with discontinuous coefficients. (English) Zbl 1479.35233

Summary: In this article, we study initial and initial-boundary value problems for a non-strictly hyperbolic system whose characteristic speed is not smooth and takes values in \(\{ -1,0,1\}\). We construct an explicit formula for the weak solution. We also study the interaction of waves and the large time asymptotic behavior of a solution for the case when the initial data is periodic with zero mean over the period and also for the case when the initial data has compact support.
