This monograph presents the study of one-dimensional waves

in inhomogeneous and hereditary media (i.e., media with

memory). A new mathematically rigorous factorization method

is applied which yields either an exact or an asymptotic

decomposition of the nonlinear wave equations under

consideration into first order multipliers.

A central result presented in the book is a factorization

theorem for the simple wave equation with constant

coefficients. It permits to view Riemann invariants and

simple waves from a different angle and is used to go over

to wave equations with variable coefficients and memory.
