We prove the existence of a global semigroup for conservative solutions of the nonlinear variational wave equationutt−c(u)(c(u)ux)x= 0. We allow for initial datau|t= 0andut|t=0that contain measures. We assume that. Solutions of this equation may experience concentration of the energy densityinto sets of measure zero. The solution is constructed by introducing new variables related to the characteristics, whereby singularities in the energy density become manageable. Furthermore, we prove that the energy may focus only on a set of times of zero measure or at points wherec′(u) vanishes. A new numerical method for constructing conservative solutions is provided and illustrated with examples.
