The article studies triple configurations of shock waves in supersonic flows of a perfect gas in view of the fact that it is not always possible to determine unambiguously the parameters of the remaining shocks in the configuration by specifying the properties of the oncoming flow and the branching shock wave. The values of the parameters of triple configurations with maximum relations of the parameters of the flow on the sides of the outgoing tangential discontinuity (extremal configurations) in conditions of the ambiguity of the physically realizable solution are found analytically and numerically.
