In the setting of a product of distributions which is not defined by approximation processes, we are able to consider a Riemann problem for the system ut + [ϕ(u)]x = 0, vt + [ψ(u)v]x = 0, with the unknown states u, v in convenient spaces of distributions and ϕ, ψ : ℝ → ℝ continuous. A consistent extension of the classical solution concept will show the possible arising of a δ-shock wave solution. This procedure affords a simpler and more general framework to construct singular solutions and can surely be applied to other equations or systems.
