Abstract
The problem posed by Gelfand on the asymptotic behavior (in time) of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a first-order quasilinear equation with Riemann-type initial conditions is considered. By applying the vanishing viscosity method with uniform estimates, exact asymptotic expansions in the Cauchy–Gelfand problem are obtained without a priori assuming the monotonicity of the initial data, and the initial-data parameters responsible for the localization of shock waves are described.
