Abstract
We study the inviscid Burgers equation in the presence of spatially periodic potential force. We prove that for foliated initial value problem there are always solutions developing shocks in a finite time. We give an application of this result to a quasi-linear system of conservation laws which appeared in the study of integrable Hamiltonian systems with 1.5 degrees of freedom.
