Abstract

For a class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems of second order the paper shows that all Lax modes associated with their first-order formulations are linearly degenerate. This property holds for recently considered models of dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics, supporting the possibility that solutions to these models generally avoid singularity formation.
