On Shock Waves in Models with V-Shaped Potentials

P. Klimas

The recently found shock wave solution in the scalar field model with the field potential V(\phi )=|\phi | is generalised to the case V(\phi )=|\phi |-{1 \over 2}\lambda \phi 2. We find two kinds of the shock waves, which are analogous of compression and expansion waves. The dependence of the waves on the parameter \lambda is investigated in detail.
