Abstract:
      This paper considers the Cauchy problem with a kind of non-smooth initial data for general inhomogeneous quasilinear hyperbolic systems with characteristics with constant multiplicity. Under the matching condition, based on the refined fomulas on the decomposition of waves, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of global weakly discontinuous solution to the Cauchy problem.
