The propagation of curved, nonlinear wavefronts and shock fronts are very complex phenomena. Since the 1993 publication of Propagation of a Curved Shock and Nonlinear Ray Theory, the author and his research group have made significant advances in the underlying theory of these phenomena. This volume presents their results and provides a self-contained and gradual development of mathematical methods for studying successive positions of these fronts.

The propagation of curved, nonlinear wavefronts and shock fronts are very complex phenomena. Since the 1993 publication of Propagation of a Curved Shock and Nonlinear Ray Theory, the author and his research group have made significant advances in the underlying theory of these phenomena. This volume presents their results and provides a self-contained and gradual development of mathematical methods for studying successive positions of these fronts. Full of new and original results, this is the only book to provide a full treatment of recent findings. It will prove useful not only for solving practical problems, but also in raising many difficult but important mathematical questions.
