For certain nonconstant and smooth initial data, the solution to the Riemann problem is presented providing a complete characterization of the solutions.falseHyperbolic systems | Rarefaction waves | Riemann problem | Shock wavesRiemann problem for rate-type materials with nonconstant initial conditionsArticle1099147613866-13880December 20213arJournal3WOS:000678985100001
