Abstract

We study the regularity of solution and of sonic boundary to a degenerate Goursat problem originated from the two-dimensional Riemann problem of the compressible isothermal Euler equations. By using the ideas of characteristic decomposition and the bootstrap method, we show that the solution is uniformly C-1,C-1/6 up to the degenerate sonic boundary and that the sonic curve is C-1,C-1/6.
