Hodograph solutions of the dispersionless coupled KdV hierarchies, critical points and the Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation

/ Abstract
It is shown that the hodograph solutions of the dispersionless coupled KdV (dcKdV) hierarchies describe critical and degenerate critical points of a scalar function which obeys the Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation. Singular sectors of each dcKdV hierarchy are found to be described by solutions of higher genus dcKdV hierarchies. Concrete solutions exhibiting shock-type singularities are presented.
