[For part I see ibid. 27, 259-273 (1987; Zbl 0658.35059).] Let \(L_ 0=\partial_ t-\sum^{N}_{k=1}A_ k(t,x)\partial_{x_ k}\), where \(A_ k(t,x)\) are \(m\times m\)-matrices in \(C^{\infty}((- T,T)\times {\mathbb{R}}^ N)\). The author gives necessary conditions for \(L_ 0\) to be a strongly hyperbolic system. In part I he assumed that the rank of (\(\lambda\) I-A(t,x,\(\xi\))) is equal to m-1 where \(\det (\lambda I-A(t,x,\xi))=0\); \(A(t,x,\xi):=\sum A_ k(t,x)\xi_ k\). A necessary condition then was that the multiplicities of the characteristic roots are at most double. Now the author continues his investigations without this assumption of rank. In some restricted cases, he shows that if \(L_ 0\) is a strongly hyperbolic system then it will hold that the orders (sizes) of the Jordan's blocks for any characteristic roots must be at most two at any point (t,x,\(\xi\)). For the proofs of the results the author employs a reduction of hyperbolic matrices.
