Abstract

We investigate the existence of a global classical solution to the Goursat problem for linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form. As the result in [A. Bressan, Contractive metrics for nonlinear hyperbolic systems, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 37 (1988) 409-421] suggests that one may achieve global smoothness even if the $C^1$ norm of the initial data is large, we prove that, if the $C^1$ norm and the BV norm of the boundary data are bounded but possibly large, then the solution remains $C^1$ globally in time. Applications include the equation of time-like extremal surfaces in Minkowski space $R^{1+(1+n)}$ and the one-dimensional Chaplygin gas equations.

Keywords:

Quasilinear hyperbolic system of diagonal form,
Goursat problem,
global classical solution,
