A characteristics approach to shock formation in 2D Euler with azimuthal symmetry and entropy by Isaac Neal, Steve Shkoller, Vlad Vicol

“…The novelty of this work relative to [1] is that we herein consider a much larger class of initial data, allow for a non-constant initial entropy, allow for a non-trivial sub-dominant Riemann variable, and introduce a host of new identities to avoid apparent derivative loss due to entropy gradients. The method of proof is also new and robust, exploring the transversality of the three different characteristic families to transform space derivatives into time derivatives. …”
