Abstract

It is speculated that some discontinuous weak solutions of boundary-value problems for nonlinear systems of conservation laws are computed, however routinely, with prescribed boundary data insufficient to uniquely determine such a solution. Stationary, transonic fluid flow exemplifies applications of present concern. A supplemental, a posteriori computation is described, which can potentially resolve this issue in any specific case.
