Separable Hamiltonians and integrable systems of hydrodynamic type. (English) Zbl 0865.58018

Summary: We exhibit a surprising relationship between separable Hamiltonians and integrable, linearly degenerate systems of hydrodynamic type. This gives a new way of obtaining the general solution of the latter. Our formulae also lead to interesting canonical transformations between large classes of Stäckel systems.
