Periodic backward-sawtooth Burgers solution

ID: periodic-backward-sawtooth-burgers-solution

For the negative-flux equation , a period-two increasing initial ramp develops rarefaction fans at odd points and steepens at even points. Before , its central ramp is on , and its odd-point fans are . After , stationary compressive shocks occupy the even points and between consecutive shocks. The amplitude decays as . The Rankine-Hugoniot condition and incoming characteristic speeds certify the post-breaking entropy solution.
