Abstract

In this paper, we consider the evolution of discontinuities in solutions of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws with source term having smooth initial data in several space dimensions. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the formation of shock waves and the existence of a smooth global solution. For the evolution equation, which governs, the change of spatial derivatives, results on the global behaviour in all are also presented
