Разностная схема Диез повышенного порядка точности, ранее разработанная для решения скалярного одномерного уравнения переноса, с помощью балансно-характеристического подхода распространена на нелинейные системы уравнений мелкой воды и уравнений Эйлера. Для обеих систем уравнений решены тестовые задачи, иллюстрирующие особенности решений, полученных с помощью описываемой разностной схемы. The Sharp difference scheme of higher-order accuracy developed previously for solving the scalar one-dimensional transport equation is extended to the shallow water nonlinear systems and to the systems of Euler equations using the balance-characteristic approach. For these systems, a number of test problems are solved to illustrate the features of the solutions obtained by the described difference scheme.

Circularly and transversely polarised (henceforth called circular and transverse) waves have been shown to occur as solutions of non-linear equations governing a wide range of physical phenomena, including finite elasticity (1), magnetohydrodynamics (2), and gyromagnetism (3), but only when the material properties of the medium are isotropic with respect to the direction of wave propagation. This paper is an attempt to unify and generalise these results.

It is known that the theory of Cauchy's problem for differential equations with two independent variables is réducible to the corresponding problem for systems of quasi-linear equations. The reduction is carried further, by means of the theory of characteristics, to the case of systems of equations of the special form first considered by H. Lewy [1]. The simplest case is that of the pair of equationswhere the aii depend on z1 and z2. The problem to be considered is that of finding functions z1(x, y), z2(x, y) which satisfy (1) and which take prescribed values on x + y = 0.
