โฆ Synopsis
By increasing the number of field variables it is possible to write the field equations in a conservative form. The shock fronts as given by the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions propagate at speeds less than the velocity of light. Contact discontinuities no longer exist but other characteristic shocks do.

We consider initial boundary value problems for the equations of the one-dimensional motion of a viscous, heat -conducting gas with density -dependent viscosity that decreases (to zero) with decreasing density. We prove that if the viscosity does not decrease to zero too rapidly, then smooth solutio
