On the existence of solutions for inextensible string equations
 
 
Description:  In this talk, we analyze existence of solutions for inextensible string equations. In particular, we have results in two directions.
On one hand, we find explicit traveling wave solutions for a system of hyperbolic conservation laws resulting from inextensible string equations via suitable change of variables. Then, we relate this solution with entropy and shock-wave solutions for which an established theory already exists.
On the other hand, we consider the problem with periodic boundary conditions and show local existence of solutions using well-studied results related to the wave equation.
