Differential Geometry 2021-11-16 v2

Abstract

In the present paper, we study some generalized Monge--Amp\`ere equations in terms of special exterior differential systems on a jet space. Moreover, we construct geometric singular solutions of the generalized Monge--Amp\`ere equations by using the method of Cauchy characteristics. Furthermore, we give criteria for geometric singular solutions to be right-left equivalent to the cuspidal edge, swallowtail and butterfly.
