Morawetz’s contributions to the mathematical theory of transonic flows, shock waves, and partial differential equations of mixed type

This article is a survey of Cathleen Morawetz’s contributions to the mathematical theory of transonic flows, shock waves, and partial differential equations of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type. The main focus is on Morawetz’s fundamental work on the nonexistence of continuous transonic flows past prof...
