is studied. Two Riemann’s problems for (0.1) with the initial data S
∓(x) = ∓ sgn.x create shock (u(x, t) ≡ S
−(x)) and smooth rarefaction (for the data S
+) waves (see 16]). The concept of “δ-entropy” solutions and others are developed for establishing the existence and uniqueness
for (0.1) by using stable smooth δ-deformations of shock-type solutions. These are analogous to entropy theory for scalar
conservation laws such as u

= 0, which were developed by Oleinik and Kruzhkov (in x ∊ ℝ

) in the 1950s–1960s. The Rosenau-Hyman K(2, 2) (compacton) equation which has a special importance for applications, is studied. Compactons as compactly supported travelling wave solutions
are shown to be δ-entropy. Shock and rarefaction waves are discussed for other NDEs such as .
