      The authors study the problem of existence of global smooth solution to strictly hyperbolic systems \(u_t+A(u)u_x=0\), and investigate the mechanism of singularity formation, in the case of nonlinearity caused only by dependence of eigenvectors of the matrix \(A(u)\) on the unknown variables (the corresponding eigenvalues are mainly assumed to be constant). The authors introduce the concept of completely reducible systems. For such systems they establish results on global existence of smooth solutions, on the base of appropriate a priori estimates. They also give numerous examples, which illustrate different types and mechanism of singularity formation.
