A linear example [Lavrent’ev & Bitsadze, Dokl. Akad. Nauk 20(1950)]:Lu = sgn[y]u xx + u yy = 0,for which the s<strong>on</strong>ic curve is the x-axis.Laplace’s equati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the upper half-planeWave equati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the lower half plane.A quasilinear example [S-X. Chen, Acta Math. Sci. 31B (2011)]:sgn[u]u xx + u yy = 0,a model for the reflecti<strong>on</strong> of certain shock waves in compressiblegas dynamics.In the n<strong>on</strong>linear case the s<strong>on</strong>ic curve cannot be identified withoutsolving the equati<strong>on</strong>.
