Abstract:

This thesis extends, to a class of systems of quasi-linear hyperbolic second oder PDE
in three variables, the geometric study of a single nonlinear hyperbolic PDE in the plane
as presented in [AK97]. The constrained variational bi-complex is introduced and used
to de ne form-valued conservation laws. A method for generating conservation laws
from solutions to the adjoint of the linearized system associated to a system of PDEs
is given. Finally, Darboux integrability for a system of three equations is de ned and a
method for generating in nitely many conservation laws for such systems is described.
