SynopsisIn this paper, the existence of global smooth solutions and the formation of singularities of solutions for strictly hyperbolic systems with general eigenvalues are discussed for the Cauchy problem with essentially periodic small initial data or nonperiodic initial data. A result of Klainerman and Majda is thus extended to the general case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
