Abstract :
We study interaction of generalized solutions to a strictly hyperbolic system of two
conservation laws from magnetohydrodynamics. The Riemann problem of this system is
known to be solvable by a combination of shock waves, contact discontinuities, rarefaction
waves and delta shock waves. We derive how the solutions continue beyond points of
interaction of these types of solutions. We introduce a type of generalized solution, a delta
contact discontinuity. A complete description of all global solutions with initial data given
by two jump points and three constant states is obtained
