Abstract:
We study the singularities of multivalued solutions of a quasilinear hyperbolic system with two independent and two dependent variables that satisfies the strong nonlinearity condition. For such solutions we obtain a local left–right classification of their projections onto the plane of independent variables at points of finite multiplicity of rank $1$.
