Abstract: We consider boundary value problems for semilinear hyperbolic systems of the type partial_tu_j + a_j(x,la)partial_xu_j + b_j(x,la,u) = 0, ; xin(0,1), ;j=1,dots,n with smooth coefficient functions aj and bj such that bj(x,la,0)=0 for all xin[0,1], lainR, and j=1,ldots,n. We state conditions for Hopf bifurcation, i.e., for existence, local uniqueness (up to phase shifts), smoothness and smooth dependence on la of time-periodic solutions bifurcating from the zero stationary solution. Furthermore, we derive a formula which determines the bifurcation direction. The proof is done by means of a Liapunov-Schmidt reduction procedure. For this purpose, Fredholm properties of the linearized system and implicit function theorem techniques are used. There are at least two distinguishing features of Hopf bifurcation theorems for hyperbolic PDEs in comparison with those for parabolic PDEs or for ODEs: First, the question if a non-degenerate time-periodic solution depends smoothly on the system parameters is much more delicate. And second, a sufficient amount of dissipativity is needed in the system, and a priori it is not clear how to verify this in terms of the data of the PDEs and of the boundary conditions.
