Why is a shock not a caustic? The higher-order Stokes phenomenon and smoothed shock formation
The formation of shocks in waves of advance in nonlinear partial differential equations is a well-explored problem and has been studied using many different techniques. In this paper we demonstrate how an exponential-asymptotic approach can be used to completely characterize the shock formation in a...
