Abstract:
Conditions for the existence of non-trivial isentropic
solutions of quasilinear conservation laws are found. Applications
to the problem of the functional dependence between partial
derivatives of a smooth function of two variables are presented.
In particular, necessary conditions on a function $\varphi$
for the equation
$\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial t}
=\varphi\biggl(\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial x}\biggr)$
to have non-trivial $C^1$-smooth solutions are found.
