In this paper, we have derived a system of transport equations for the shock strength and the induced continuity. We generate a completely intrinsic description of plane, cylindrical, and spherical shock waves of weak strength, propagating into a non-ideal gas. It is shown that for a weak shock, the disturbance evolves like an acceleration wave at the leading order. For a weak shock, we may assume that p=Oϵ,0 IS - 1 PB - OICC Press KW - Weak shocks, Non, Asymptotic decay laws, Ideal gas, Induced discontinuity EN -
