In this paper we shall show that the perturbation problem belonging to a two-dimensional steady transonic flow past an obstacle is not correctly posed. This theorem has been proposed in various forms'[1, 2, 3, 4] as an explanation for the breakdown of continuous transonic flow. No rigorous proof has been given before. The statement of the theorem may be found as Conjectured Theorem C in [1]. The basic plausibility arguments were developed by Busemann [2], Frankl [3] and Guderley [4]. The perturbation problem may be described roughly as follows. Suppose for some Mach number at infinity, M.< 1, there is a steady continuous symmetric transonic flow, past a profile given by y= 4 Y (x), with continuously differentiable potential q and stream function V. Analytic expressions describing such flows are known, see for example the work of Lighthill, Cragg and Goldstein, or Tomatika and Tamada. T and V form a solution of a boundary value problem for a pair of nonlinear elliptic-hyperbolic equations of first order and V vanishes on y=-Y (x).
