In his 2007 monograph, D. Christodoulou proved a remarkable result giving a detailed descrip- tion of shock formation, for small H s -initial conditions (s sufficiently large), in solutions to the relativistic Euler equations in three space dimensions. His work provided a significant advancement over a large body of prior work concerning the long-time behavior of solutions to higher-dimensional quasilinear wave equations, initiated by F. John in the mid 1970's and continued by S. Klainerman, T…
