Abstract
A definition is given of corrugational stability for plane‐fronted shock waves. By using the theory of singular surfaces it is shown how one can obtain necessary conditions for corrugation stability. The theory is then applied to relativistic shock waves and yields a restriction on the state equation of a relativistic fluid in order for it to allow the existence of corrugationally stable shocks.Keywords
