We study the conditions under which the Cauchy problem for a linear hyperbolic system of partial differential equations of the first order in two independent variables has a unique continuous solution (not necessarily Lipschitz continuous). In addition to obvious continuity assumptions on coefficients and initial data, the sufficient conditions are the bounded variation of the left eigenvectors along the characteristic curves.
The propagation of weak discontinuities for quasilinear systems with coefficients functionally dependent on the solution is studied. We demonstrate that, similarly to the case of usual quasilinear systems, the transport equation for the intensity of weak discontinuity is quadratic in this intensity. However, the contribution from the (nonlocal) functional dependence appears to be in principle linear in the jump intensity (with some exceptions). For illustration, several examples, including two hyperbolic...
