In this note, we consider the Riemann problem for a two-dimensional nonstrictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws. Without the restriction that each jump of the initial data projects one planar elementary wave, six topologically distinct solutions are constructed by applying the generalized characteristic analysis method, in which the delta shock waves and the vacuum states appear. Moreover we demonstrate that the nature of our solutions is identical with that of solutions to the corresponding one-dimensional Cauchy problem, which provides a verification that our construction produces the correct global solutions.

The wave nature of heat conduction has been developed in situations involving extreme thermal gradients, very short times, or temperatures near absolute zero. Under the excitation of a periodic surface heating in a finite medium, the hyperbolic and parabolic heat conduction equations and the damped wave equations in heat flux are presented for comparative analysis by using the Green's function with the integral transform technique. The Kummer transformation is also utilized to accelerate the rate of convergence of these solutions. On the other hand, the temperature distributions are obtained through integration of the energy conservation law with respect to time. For hyperbolic heat conduction, the heat flux distribution does not exist throughout all the region in a finite medium within the range of very short times(${\xi}<{\eta}_l$). It is shown that due to the thermal relaxation time, the hyperbolic heat conduction equation has thermal wave characteristics as the damped wave equation has wave nature.

We are interested in an adaptive grid method for hyperbolic equations. A multiresolution analysis, based on a biorthogonal family of interpolating scaling functions and lifted interpolating wavelets, is used to dynamically adapt grid points according to the physical field profile in each time step. Traditional finite-difference schemes with fixed stencils produce high oscillations around sharp discontinuities. In this paper, we hybridize high-resolution schemes, which are suitable for capturing singularities, and apply a finite-difference approach to the scaling functions at non-singular points. We use a total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta method for the time integration. The computational cost is proportional to the number of points present after compression. We provide several numerical examples to verify our approach.
