The research of Kyungwoo Song is supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MSIT) (NRF-2019R1F1A1057766)

We establish the global existence of subsonic solutions to a two dimensional Riemann problem governed by a self-similar pressure gradient system for shock diffraction by a convex cornered wedge. Since the boundary of the subsonic region consists of a transonic shock and a part of a sonic circle, the governing equation becomes a free boundary problem for nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation of second order with a degenerate oblique derivative boundary condition. We also obtain the optimal $ C^{0,1} $-regularity of the solutions across the degenerate sonic boundary.

Keywords: Pressure gradient system, free boundary problem, shock diffraction, degenerate elliptic equation, transonic shock, Riemann problem.
