Weak Asymptotics for the Problem of Interaction of Two Shock Waves.
R. Flores Espinoza and G. A. Omel'yanov

We construct a uniform in time asymptotics describing the interaction of two isothermal shock waves with opposite directions of motion. The main result is that any smooth regularization of the problem implies the realization of the stable scenario of interaction. The proof is valid for any amplitudes of the initial shocks.
Key words: gas dynamics, shock wave, rarefaction wave, interaction, weak asymptotics
