Relativistic radiative shock waves, which are steadily standing in relativistic disc accretion flows, are examined under the equilibrium diffusion approximation and the Eddington one in the optically thick regime, taking into account the vertically hydrostatic equilibrium. Similar to the non-relativistic case, the surface density behaves like the gas density in the usual shocks, and increases up to 7 in the radiation-pressure-dominated shock, although the gas density in the post-shock region often decreases due to the vertical expansion behind the shock front. Hence, the optical depth in the vertical direction rises up in the post-shock region, while that in the radial direction reduces. Similar to the usual radiative shock and non-relativistic case, in the pre-shock region before the shock front, there appears a radiative precursor, where the radiation energy attenuates into the pre-shock region due to the radiative diffusion effect. For both the gas and radiation-pressure-dominated cases, we derive the overall jump conditions for the relativistic radiative shock in relativistic disc accretion flows, and solve the shock structure of the radiative precursor with jump conditions as boundary conditions. The solutions are quite fundamentals in relativistic disc accretion shock problems around a compact object, and should be developed in various aspects.
