Review text

The author considers the Cauchy problem for nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations of second order. This problem does not generally admit a classical solution in the large, singularities generally appear in finite time. The typical example is ``shock wave. The problem is to extend the solution beyond the singularities. First he lifts the solution surface into higher-dimensional space so that the lifted surface does not contain hyperbolic system of first order. Next he projects the lifted solution surface to the base space. In the neighborhood of a point where this projection is regular he gets a smooth solution. In a neighborhood of a point where the mapping is singular, he can construct a solution with singularities. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0940.00034].
