Abstract

We identify a class of flux functions which give rise to conservation laws which are hyperbolic except along a codimension one subspace of state space. We show that a number of systems modeling porous medium flow can be regarded as perturbations of such systems, and describe the phenomenon of change of type for these perturbations. We also discuss a property of solutions of such systems, the existence of inaccessible regions - subsets of state space which appear to be avoided by solutions.
