Abstract
In the analysis of hyperbolic boundary value problems, the construction of Kreiss' symmetrizers relies on a suitable block structure decomposition of the symbol of the system. In this paper, we show that this block structure condition is satisfied by all symmetrizable hyperbolic systems of constant multiplicity.
