Riemann problem

A Riemann problem, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a specific initial value problem composed of a conservation equation together with piecewise constant initial data which has a single discontinuity in the domain of interest. The Riemann problem is very useful for the understanding of equations like Euler conservation equations because all properties, such as shocks and rarefaction waves, appear as characteristics in the solution. It also gives an exact solution to some complex nonlinear equations, such as the Euler equations.In numerical analysis, Riemann problems appear in a natural way in finite volume methods for the solution of conservation law equations due to the discreteness of the grid. For that it is widely used in computational fluid dynamics and in computational magnetohydrodynamics simulations. In these fields, Riemann problems are calculated using Riemann solvers.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia

The Riemann problem in linearized gas dynamics
As a simple example, we investigate the properties of the one-dimensional Riemann problem in gas dynamics (Toro, Eleuterio F. (1999). Riemann Solvers and Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics, Pg 44, Example 2.5)The initial conditions are given by
frac{partial u}{partial t} + frac{a^2}{rho_0} frac{partial rho}{partial x} & = 0
end{align}where we can assume without loss of generality age 0.We can now rewrite the above equations in a conservative form:
lambda_1 = -a, lambda_2 = a . They give the propagation speed of the medium, including that of any discontinuity, which is the speed of sound here. The corresponding eigenvectors are
U_R = begin{bmatrix} rho_R u_R end{bmatrix} = beta_1mathbf{e}^{(1)}+beta_2mathbf{e}^{(2)}
for
beta_1mathbf{e}^{(1)}+alpha_2mathbf{e}^{(2)}
beta_1 begin{bmatrix} rho_0 -aend{bmatrix} + alpha_2 begin{bmatrix} rho_0 a end{bmatrix}
and the (piecewise constant) solution in the entire domain t>0:
U(t,x)
begin{bmatrix} rho(t,x) u(t,x)end{bmatrix}
begin{cases}
