Abstract
From the compressibility conditions for a relativistic fluid, it is possible to deduce (1) the timelike character of the magnetohydrodynamical shock waves, (2) the main inequalities between the different speeds and the thermodynamics of shocks, and (3) the existence and the uniqueness of a non-trivial solution of the shock equations.Keywords
