- Abstract
In this paper we employ a “direct method” to construct rank-k solutions, express- ible in Riemann invariants, to hyperbolic system of first order quasilinear differential equations in many dimensions. The most important feature of our approach is the analysis of group invariance properties of these solutions and applying the conditional symmetry reduction technique to the initial equations. We discuss in detail the neces- sary and sufficient conditions for existence of these type of solutions. We demonstrate our approach through several examples of hydrodynamic type systems; new classes of solutions are obtained in a closed form
