Abstract: We study the constitutive set $mathcalK$ arising from a $2imes2$ system of conservation laws in one space dimension, endowed with one entropy and entropy-flux pair. The convexity properties of the set $mathcalK$ relate to the well-posedness of the underlying system and the ability to construct solutions via convex integration. Relating to the convexity of $mathcalK$, in the particular case of the $p$-system, Lorent and Peng [Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations, 59(5):Paper No. 156, 36, 2020] show that $mathcalK$ does not contain $T_4$ configurations. Recently, Johansson and Tione [arXiv e-prints, page arXiv:2208.10979, August 2022] showed that $mathcalK$ does not contain $T_5$ configurations. In this paper, we provide a substantial generalization of these results, based on a careful analysis of the shock curves for a large class of $2imes2$ systems. In particular, we provide several sets of hypothesis on general systems which can be used to rule out the existence of $T_4$ configurations in the constitutive set $mathcalK$. In particular, our results show the nonexistence of $T_4$ configurations for every well-known $2imes2$ hyperbolic system of conservation laws which verifies the Liu entropy condition.
