29. New shocks can be created either from the smooth background, or from the merging of two moving shocks. Conversely, the life of a shock ends when it just vanishes in the smooth background or when it collides with another shock. These processes can be appreciated in an interesting movie produced by Bec quoted in.
30. The method of Lagrange multipliers is not used, since we are able to find extrema of the action which satisfy the constraints 42 43.
