Abstract
This chapter discusses interactions of strongly distorted waves containing shock fronts. Such sawtooth-shaped perturbations are formed in the course of wave propagation through media where nonlinearity predominates over competitive factors like dispersion, diffraction and absorption. Specific character of nonlinear processes in the fields of sawtooth waves is particularly emphasized. We describe experimentally observed phenomena, as well as present-day applied trends.
