Abstract

Shock waves are discontinous solutions to quasi-linear partial differential equations,
and can be studied through a singular perturbation known as the vanishing
viscosity technique. The vanishing viscosity method is a means of
smoothing the shock, and we study the case of electromagnetic waves in bianisotropic
materials. We derive the conditions arising from this smoothing
procedure for a traveling wave, and the waves are classified as fast, slow or
intermediate shock waves.
