Non-classical phase transitions at a sonic point

The relevant mathematical features of phase transition for a general hyperbolic nonlinear system near a sonic discontinuity are clarified. A well-posed Riemann's problem is obtained, including non-classical undercompressive shocks, defined by a geometrical kinetic relation. A counterpart is the...
