Consideration was given to the systems of n quasilinear equations with first-order
partial derivatives, two independent variables, and an arbitrary number of numerical control
parameters. From the application standpoint, the independent variables play the part of time
and space, and the parameters are replaced either by the control functions or the solutions
of the inverse problem. The geometrical formalization ascending to Georg Friedrich Bernhard
Riemann and enabling one to assign to a quasilinear system a field of linear operators on the
corresponding vector bundle is applicable to the systems under consideration. The criterion
for diagonalizbility, that is, reduction to the Riemann invariants of quasilinear systems with
control parameters by state transformations, was established in terms of this field.
