Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Waves and Riemann Solutions: Their Theory and Their Role in Science The interaction of discontinuities is an isolated event in time. The idealization of the infinite scaling limit can still be performed, and yields a scale invariant solu tion. However the result is a discontinuity which occurs as a single instant of time, and which does not preserve its form by moving coherently with a definite velocity. Thus we have a Riemann solution rather than an elementary wave. The corresponding Cauchy data is known as a Riemann problem, and it defines in ideal.
