    77Given the above properties of the Riemann problem, an algebraic expression can be derived which gives p in the central "star-region" (denoted by '*'). The overall structure of the Riemann problem then is to solve this algebraic equation for p*. Once p* is known, u* follows immediately. The remaining rho*_L and rho*_R follow from expressions valid for the specific L- or R- wave present.

    9 The program thus will consist of 4 parts: 1. Identification of types of nonlinear waves present in the solution states, 2. Code to find p* using an iterative process, 3. U* given by Toro 4.9, 4. Use appropriate expressions to find rho*_L and rho*_R.
     9The program thus will consist of 4 parts: 1. Code to find p* using an iterative process, 2. Comparing p* to p_L and p_R to identify the types of nonlinear waves present in the solution, 3. Find remaining quantities in star region, where u* is given by simple expression in Toro (eqn. 4.9), and wave-specific expressions give rho*_L and rho*_R.
