Abstract

As mentioned above, singularities play an important role in hodograph transformations. In a brief résumé of Bergman’s method given in the present work, it is impossible to discuss all the details and items on the subject of singularities. Hence, below only general and more important features will be briefly outlined. A reader, advanced in mathematics, may find more details in the original literature, particularly in6.
