Abstract
As noted earlier in this book, the general theory of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in several space dimensions is terra incognita. Nevertheless, a number of important problems in two space dimensions are currently tractable, as they admit stationary or self-similar solutions, in which case the number of independent variables is reduced to two.
