Abstract

Some years ago, Bluman [1] gave the ‘integrability conditions’ for a linear second-order hyperbolic Equation, i.e. the conditions under which it can be mapped invertibly to a constant coefficient wave equation. Considering that a second-order hyperbolic equation in two dimensions can be regarded as the hodograph representation of a 2x2 quasi-linear homogeneous system, one may wonder how the fulfilment of the above-mentioned integrability conditions is reflected in the structure of the quasi-linear system. The question is especially interesting if the quasi-linear system derives from a Hamiltonian density.
