Abstract: We are concerned with the shock diffraction configuration for isothermal gas modeled by the conservation laws of nonlinear wave system. We reformulate the shock diffraction problem into a linear degenerate elliptic equation in a fixed bounded domain. The degeneracy is of Keldysh type-the derivative of a solution blows up at the boundary. We establish the global existence of solutions and prove the $C^{0,\frac{1}{2}}$ -regularity of solutions near the degenerate boundary. We also compare the difference of solutions between the isothermal gas and the polytropic gas.

Key words: Nonlinear wave system, isothermal gas, shock diffraction, degenerate elliptic equation, Riemann problem, regularity
